Another week, another knight. This chap is based on a colour scheme from the 1996 Stilwell Codex. He seems to have based his outfit on a Victorian bathing suit (or possibly a piece of streaky bacon), but it's still pretty striking.
Here he is with the rest of the knights (so far). I really like the way that these knight units look like a jumble of bright colour. I'd like to make four more, to bulk the unit out to ten.
Also, I painted up the old model of the Fay Enchantress. This is the 1990s miniature: like Mark Gibbons' picture in the army book, she looks like a tough, wily sort, like a cross between Morgana from the Arthurian legends and the evil queen from Disney's Sleeping Beauty. Even the unicorn that she rides looks like a mean, surly customer.
The model itself is all lead, and was hard to assemble (and I'm not sure how long it will stay together). It's very nicely sculpted, if a bit top-heavy, and has lots of good details. It took a long while to paint.
The fay enchantress has a very detailed cloak, which has lots of sculpted fleurs-de-lys. It's an impressive bit of sculpting, but was really hard to paint.
Bretonnia marches (or rides) on!
