A Start on the Bretonnian Knights

 It feels as if it's been a very long while since I posted anything on this blog. I've been pretty busy with my day job and my writing, but I've been able to get some painting done too. Unfortunately, as usual, my camera is refusing to take any half-reasonable pictures.

Anyhow, I have finally started on my oldhammer Bretonnian knights. These are really old models, dating back to about 1991, and are metal bodies on plastic horses. They're very nicely-sculpted miniatures and, like all the Bretonnians from those days, look a lot like generic medieval people.

But before that, here's what my knights used to look like, when I painted them in my early teens. They were some of the first miniatures I ever made.

They're actually not all that bad, considering. The chap on the right in the bottom picture was originally named Varian the Black, but became known as Pancake Eyes because of my somewhat inept detailing. He looks like a cartoon of a startled anime character.

Anyhow, here are the first two knights. They're painted in livery used in the original WD army. The camera has messed it up, but they're much more shaded than appears below.

Painting the little hooked bits at the end of the green guy's crosses was really hard. They're nice models, though, and I really like the lack of details on the barding. Definitely a blank canvas.
