Hi All!
Today I have a unit of Heavy Cavalry for Turnip28. In the game these guys are called 'The Bastards' and, with a little luck, they can live up to their name to be quite rude on the tabletop. One of the optional, amped-up variants allows you to bring in 'Snail Knights' (I know, wtf) as a proxy, so I thought I'd kill two slugs with one salt shaker and have this unit fill both roles.
These models are from 'DogDogDog' on Cults3D. Certainly can't fault the designer's handle, and I think the sculpting is pretty terrific too.
I added a couple pavise shields for looks-cool-factor, and replaced the standard bearer's lance with brass rod to make it a little more survivable on the tabletop. Otherwise, they're pretty much stock.
The whacky heraldry was fun to paint up, though I certainly wouldn't want to be doing this for a unit of 24 models...
Next up: Character models from 'Familiar Tales'.
Have a good one!

Those are FABULOUS! Great sculpts, but more impressive is the way you have reimagined the heraldry - very effective indeed, and totally thematic with how I imagine flamboyant Middle Age Knightly chaps presented themselves. Bravo!
ReplyDeleteThank you Paul. Yes, it's very fun to work on these Turnip28 units as it's essentially a blank canvas, right?
DeleteQuite whimsical. Like somethin from the marins of a Medieval Manuscript
ReplyDeleteYup like an annotated bog roll manuscript. ;) Thanks James.
DeleteSplendid looking monstrous knights!
