15mm Cathars for Roger

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!

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

Knights, sergents and generals Back rank Foix with Catalonia, Front rank Beziers, Toulouse and Comminges

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.

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?

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).

Count of Toulouse and Foix.

Next project will be mounted, but different!

Batch 4, remaining Sergeants, Jinettes and a few more knights

Jinettes, hired from the close ally of the Cathars, the King of Aragon, all shields are based on Spanish cities and towns in the area of Aragon so, back rank, L:R Jaca, Ainsa, Benasque, Calaceite, Zaragosa, Aragon, Front line L:R Teruel Huesca, Jaca, Zaragosa, Aragon, and Calaceite

Knights (Foix, Toulouse, Comminges and Beziers)

Bezier Sergeants

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

Comminges

Genoese,

partly inspired by this image of Genoese Crossbowmen:

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.

The random miniatures in my lead pile thread

Hi all, As the months go on, I am finding more random stuff that does not fit into any catagory is creeping it's way up to the surface of my lead mountain. I decided a few years back, rather than just throw it back like one of Nobby's escaped socks, I would actually paint some of them Mimic from Bad Squiddo Gribbly Sushi? Catch of the day! Another Grenadier 1984 from Brian's collection - possible Flesh Golem? Pants! Quick job, but fun TT Combat Halfling adventuers, a barbarian, a fighter, a ranger (with squirrel), a mage, and a bard (with bagpipes) Rough bunch Distancing themselves from the Bard! Fireball! Really random. Converted GW 1990s halfling on a Ral Patha sheep - a ram raider! There are quite a few more of these to do, but this one fell off the lead pile while I was looking for something else. He ...

6mm Pony Wars commission for a friend.

Legion Imperialis 8mm - Civitas ruins boxed set.

Terrain box (Civitas ruins) painted up Honestly took me longer to build it than it did to paint! But there may be a reason for that Someone needs a word with their structural surveyor! I mean, the build quality here is awful. At least the marines will have somewhere to hide It's about an A3 of ruined stuff It's been trashed Comes with a lot of scatter The rest of the club was doing it, so I had to do it! Looking through the various Legions from the Horus Herasy, I decided... Nope. Don't like them. Stick to what you know. 'Stick 'Em In The Eye - It's the Emperor's Pointy Sticks' So, seven years after I painted the 'Emperor's Pointy Sticks' in 6mm, GW have released Legion Imperialis in 8mm. Marine booster pack painted up, group photos! Mixed bag About 100 extra points on table! "Did I miss the photoshoot?" *FACEPALM* These are the ones I've be...
