Title: Traveling Knight
Post by: Theomar Pius on May 07, 2008, 07:11:59 PM
So it rained all day, and I was unable to get out and shoot. But, I figure I could show this figure, it's been a long time since painted did a knight.

This is a plastic GW Brettonian knight, converted. GW doesn't really make any non-combat mini's so you have to make them yourself. I added a bedroll behind the saddle, and the shield, helmet, and bow to the harness. The bow is for hunting, not combat.  I also used a no-helmet head, because I figure, a knight on his off time probably wouldn't wear a helmet. He's kind of like a ronin, a knight for hire, travelling town to town questing for something, not simply the swordarm of his lord.

It looks so great with the terrain behind him. Im a big beleiver that a mini demands nice terrain.

I like the pose too, very much like... where is the tavern, ive been on the road and my armour is chafing me.
