So, I've been neglecting me historical subscribers,
it's not out of choice as I really wanted
to do some Galatians this year, but out of
lack of funds and having to paint what I've
got.
I have been enjoying a return to fantasy gaming
also, especially playing saga age of magic,
and going back to dragon rampant during the
lockdown, but in selling my dslr recently
and my group moving onto feudal age adlg armies,
I've decided to jump on board with some feudal
age late crusaders.
Now I've been advised on this one, I've even
done research online in terms of colours and
heraldry the crusaders had during the 3rd
crusade, with richie leading them, I've even
bought the nice richie lionheart mini from
fireforge, but I will be honest and say that
might go out the window when it comes to what
I fancy painting at the time.
My research at the minute consists of kingdom
of heaven, the first assassins creed game
and knightfall the latter I've been neglecting
to watch for some time, of course people are
instantly going to put their heads in their
hands, but I'll always paint my minis how
I want and share the painting and army building
journey I'm going on.
Of course I'm going for 200 points of adlg
again, I've already got my list sorted, I've
even been trialling it on tabletop simulator,
and they have had mixed results, but I feel
as though I'm there with the list I want to
build and run, and if it is anything like
my Spartans who are at 0 wins and 5 losses,
I'm sure it will just mean I'm bad at ancient
wargaming rather than my list itself is bad.
Anyway, this first set of Teutonic infantry
thats been on screen, is made by fireforge
games. I picked this up for about 20 quid,
you get 24 hard plastic multipose minis, 2
sprues that are identical and 1 which has
the Teutonic helms and capes on.
There's lots of options for weapons, shields
and heads, you're also able to build 12 of
them as crossbowmen.
I can't even hazard a guess at the relevant
time period but they build up quite nicely
and scale well with other historical manufacturers.
The poses though do me I can only get 6 to
a base instead of 8 which is unfortunate.
I also picked up Orlando Bloom who played
Balin in kingdom of heaven from giants in
miniature, not sure if he will be a general
or if I will put him in my camp yet, but these
minis are always great.
Anyway, I hope you'll enjoy this project as
much as im looking forward to and I'll give
you an update when I have one.
