Caedite eos. Novit enim Dominus qui sunt eius.
Hopefully not, I spent ages on these!
Roger contacted me and asked me to paint southern French MeG army. He then dropped that they would be the Albigensian Crusade (otherwise known as the Cather Crusade), and then I started to research, this is a lot of fun!
For those of us who love a conspiracy theory, you might remember this screamer!
Batch 5, the knights and generals are all done, which finishes the army.
Enjoy, as I've enjoyed painting them.
The whole batch, the deserter at the top I managed to break the ankles of the horse at the last second, so spent today repairing, pinning and modelling new ankles.
'Eavy metal ready to charge!
Not too bad a job on the ankles.
Can you see where he deserted from?
Rear view
Next set
Another wave
Oops, I have edged that flag since I took this...
Nice
Comminges and Beziers command
Like these, tw end princesses inspired by Bill & Ted's most chaste princesses (dude).

Next project will be mounted, but different!

It was at this point I started to notice the colour bleed on the standards.

Roger has sent me some shots of the army fully based up.
They look gorgeous!

The foot contingents
The full force, 10 TuGs and 1 SuG, there are also two units of peasants that are amazing that Roger painted previously.

Close as I'll get to Genoes:
Anyway, the biggest batch are foot sergents, so after a look at Roger's army list and then a google of notable characters involved in the actions, here are the first three TuGs:
Foix with Montsegure and Minerve
Toulouse, with a little help from Astarac, Beziers Bearn, and Alberet 
Comminges with Beziers, Montsegure, Termes and Tencevel 
The whole gang before the flagging.
Then I decided they needed flags.
