Yes but we’re talking terrain not clothing preferences

I also decided to try out the GW contrast paints for the hoods, tunics and leggings but not the flesh and equipment.

Heh, heh, heh
But then, my workbench now has 7 Barons War knights dug out of the 3rd lead pile on the left sitting on it and getting painted in a similar style. I may turn to crossbowmen today, inspired by the tale of Peter the Saracen (if you’ve got that far in the SoA article?).

Sorry, I should have read the posts properly.

That's a rather splendid model, but it does look a bit like an accident waiting to happen.

Needs basing, but it has survived my cat for over a day now.

That should be the official measure.

It is my standard measure of sturdiness, did it survive my cat. If so for how long?

I have shed loads of these that I have been trying to sell on since my storage capacity vastly shrank
Just leaving this here in case your one of the few people on the planet who I haven't told

Yup I've looked out 4 boxes of suitable Fireforge plastics, giving me nearly 50 knights and mounted Sergeants before I even take delivery of the KS stuff. I'll try and find all the black tree feudal figures I have stashed too
