September 2025 Recap

04/11/202516/10/2025 by crudboy

There was a lot of OPR: Grimdark played at the Monday Knights during September. We’ve picked this game up recently, with many people being new to the game, led by a few with more experience. It has given some of the older gamers a great opportunity to dust off their old Warhammer 40K collections, put … Read more

01/05/202405/10/2020 by floppy

Finally after all these years I have put paint to the 15mm Medieval Mounted troops. This time I have two light horse with bows, two Cavalry with fire arms, 4 heavy Knights and 4 not so heavy knights. Light Horse with Bow’s The Light horse with bow are a very new purchase, I need some … Read more

Templar Knights

01/05/202418/09/2020 by jbarton11

It’s time for the big show. French failed aristocracy pumped up on faith and the desire to kill heathens (or poor people). Templar Knights By now there’s not much more I can say, there aren’t any original colours on here. The miniatures are again Legio Heroica, but they’re not the Templars from that range. Instead … Read more

Saga Order of St John – Knights

01/05/202414/09/2020 by floppy

I have pulled the trigger and finished off my Saga Order of St John – Knights, with two units of Hearthguard (Knights) and command. As I write this I realise I am basing this whole force all wrong. I know I built this as a saga force, which with out thinking I used round bases … Read more

Templar Infantry

01/05/202421/08/2020 by jbarton11

Finally some Temmplars. I think I’ve done quite well. More than 5 posts into a Templar project and not a single white tunic or red cross on anything. But that’s all going to change over the next few posts as I finish off this project with wall to wall, hard core Templars. A sea of … Read more

Crusader Turcopoles

01/05/202414/08/2020 by jbarton11

Another feature of Crusader armies were the Turcopoles. The Crusaders had learnt the effectiveness of the mounted bow from the Saracens and so had started to include them in their own armies. Sourced from the Eastern Christian kingdoms, and I’m sure other relevantly skilled groups, they were still Christian by equipped and dressed more like … Read more

Crusader mounted knights

01/05/202410/08/2020 by jbarton11

I’ve finally added some Knights to the Crusader army. With over 130 troops painted it’s good to finally have something that we all associate strongly with the era. I’m not sure there’s anything more iconic to the Feudal/Medieval period than the Knight holding a lance atop a charging horse. Again, these miniatures are Legio Heroica. … Read more

15mm Medieval Mounted Troops Part 1

01/05/202420/07/2020 by floppy

I have finally started painting parts of the 15mm Medieval troops I have had for a very long time. So I have broken down this project to different troops. I have started with my 15mm Medieval Mounted troops as a multipart post. Firstly because there are a lot of horses secondly because I am finding … Read more

Large Crusader spear block (56 figures)

01/05/202413/07/2020 by jbarton11

Crusader armies needs large block of spear men. After all, the humble spear was the primary infantry weapon for almost every organised army until the musket got good (pikes are just long spears). If you were to go and ressurrect someone who died in battle, chances are it was a ‘he’ used a spear. Hell … Read more

Crusader bow and crossbow

01/05/202429/06/2020 by jbarton11

Part of any good Crusader army are some missile troops. For this army there is a fair bit with decent numbers of both crossbow and bow infantry. As with the rest of this army, it is all Legio Heroica miniatures from their Feudal and Crusader ranges. While these two ranges are nominally for different portions … Read more

Levy pike & farm tools – Huge new 250 figure project

01/05/202422/06/2020 by jbarton11

This is the first post of a new army project I’m in the middle of. This army is another Crusader army, but this time it is the Templars. However, there isn’t going to be any Templars for a little while as I’m starting with the generic crusader component of this project and even then at the bottom, levy heavy end. This is a big project, probably my biggest yet. There are about 200 foot troops and 50 mounted, as well as a pretty cool looking gate tower (serving as camp).
