Ravenna- Gaston de Foix Vignette Composition 29.12.15

Post by Atheling » Thu Dec 24, 2015 10:13 am

I'm aiming to have the Battle of Ravenna done as a demo game, probably not this year but the next. I'm too busy with my Hastings project for Salute at present.

I'm spending a little bit of time every day working on head swaps, conversions and that sort of thing. In order to keep up some kind of momentum I'm posting all the stuff I do get done on my Gewalthaufen Blog. to be honest it's a welcome relief to painting up all those Huscarl, Thegnes, Ceorls and Milites etc.

I've started messing around with what will be Jacob Empsser's Landsknechts including baggage and vignettes (I ordered quite a lot of them when Foundry had their sale!).

Not satisfied with the number of Dopplensoldner that Foundry do, they do two but Marcus was kind enough to send me an unreleased model too, I did a couple of head swaps and a little converting by hacking off a spare's cap and adding a leather helmet/arming cap and sticking the feathered cap slung around his neck.

There are more pics and discussion on my Gewalthaufen Blog here:

Next up is prepping Gaston de Foix, Duke of Nemours Command Group.

Cheers,
Darrell.

Thanks.... I won't be painting until after Salute as I've still got a lot of work to do for the Hatings project, but I'm just spending an hour or two a day at present working out vignettes, basing etc etc.... oh, and the odd conversion etc too :)

Se above.... it'll be good to have all the mini's cleaned up and sorted out as to what and where they will fit into the game prior to starting painting ;) :)

I've recently been messing around with the composition for Gason de Foix, Count of Nemours (leader of the French forces during the War of the League of Cambrai) vignette.

If you're interested please pop over to my Gewalthaufen Blog for discussion on the options that I'm as yet undecided upon:
