Knights

It has been quiet here for a while. I wasn't idle though, I just didn't have the time to take decent pictures yet. So now that I did I will roll out a bunch of updates faster.

One of the things I struggle with a lot when it comes to miniatures is that I have the tendency to over compensate and I often don't get to start things or I redo them. Even though I really enjoy creating entirely new things I can get stuck on simple things such as shield designs or a flag. I am slowly learning how to deal with this but here and there I get to go back and redo a few things.

This time my leader had to suffer and I made a different model for him that looks very similar. He is still nameless but I figured I'll get back to it once I finished all my models for this project.

I did not get round to finishing his base yet but I'm sure that will happen soon.


I also turned one of his mounted brothers blue's into reds. 




This guy hasn't changed but I took some better pictures of him.



This guy is new.




And finally the banner carrier that goes with my leader. I stole the imagery of Stephen of Blois because I'm really interested in the Anarchy, Except I'm using one centaur instead of three. I also changed the field from one red field to a split red and white field but it's a small homage I guess.




This is them all together so far. One guy still missing but he will join soon.

The Solace Campaign

Hey everyone,

Some time ago I managed to convince a good friend to finally play a game with me. We decided on late 15th century medieval forces and we will use the plastic perry collection.

I was happy to start a new project with so many plastics to mix and mash to my hearts desire. 

I named this my Solace Campaign because I am at a bit of a stand still in my life right now. There are probably a few people that would get upset by me calling it this. The thing is that I am fighting the black fog of depression. What has managed to keep this at bay for a while now is making progress with my miniature projects. up until now this seems to be a thing that lowers that pressure for me and I felt it would be a good name for a project that has no significant background besides a style choice.  I really hope to build something amazing here and hopefully as I am working on this I can compare the progress of the army to me getting better. 


We decided to go with Lion Rampant as ruleset. My models will have a strong German vibe but as I don't know too much about the time I am allowing myself full creative freedom and mainly let myself be inspired by it. 

So far I have finished my leader and two of his men at arms.

One More Shiny Post

Hey everyone. I know I said that I wouldn't do this too often. Although I get a lot of positive feedback on this. There has been a development in the form of me finding an opponent willing to play medieval battles with me. We did decide to go with the perry miniatures of the late 15th century.

So I have decided to put my attention on that to make swift progress.

I still have a few things I want to show you from the other project that I will put on hold for a bit.

Without trying to be too mysterious or anything. I present you with some more pictures of things that are almost done.

Something To Look At

I'm usually not in the habit of posting things that aren't quite done yet. I tend to post full or half units first. But over the past few weeks I've managed to spend a lot of time with my miniatures and a lot of half finished stuff got made. I love to create some scenic pictures with them. I really loved what came out and I thought I'd share that here already.


I will make sure to get some pictures of all the finished stuff to post here properly.


First off my model of Jean D'arc. I named her Amelia since I dont really hold to any actual characters. She is seen here leading her men to the battlefront.
