This isn’t a
complete unit...yet. Trawling through the internet I found that there were 500
troops from the Order of the Knights Templar present at Liegnitz, broken down
into 3 Templar Knights, 83 other mounted troops and the rest were infantry from
the Templar villages in the area. I have translated this into one base of
Templars and the other two of guest knights and their sergeants. I may well do
the infantry as another foot unit. Now I know that this isn’t historically
accurate but I like it.
So, the first
base is complete and the figures for the other two are mostly finished. But
flippin’ eck, they don’t half take a time to paint! When you think of medieval
knights the first thing that springs to mind is armour, in copious amounts. Not
true, especially for the mounted types on caparisoned horses. Painting quartered
shields, tabards and caparisons takes time...a lot of time, even more so in
10mm.
But anyway,
here it is, the Templar Knights base which I’ve also entered into the Pendraken
Painting competition. As soon as the others are done I’ll post them as well.
By the way, my mate of Jace Photography took the pictures because my little point and click is not clever enough on close in focus even with the 'macro' enabled.
