The guards of the White Lady (part I)

First trio of guards, all equipped with sword and shield. 

 

The armour pieces are painted using the usual colours: basecoat of VMC Dark Sea Blue and Mahogany Brown, then Formula P3 Greatcoat Grey, then VMC Light Grey, Sky Blue and white. 

I have processed the weapons differently: first a mix of VMC Neutral Grey and Field Blue, highlighted with Light Grey, Sky Blue and white, and darkened with GW Gryph-Charger Grey then very thinned black.

For the shields, I have used the royal token of Louise de Lorraine as a starting point:

After a few trials, I have switched the two feathers, and replaced the laurel wreath by the intertwined first letters of Heinrich and Adelarde de Montfort that can be seen in the room of Louise de Lorraine in the chateau de Chenonceau (the original Greek capital letter Lambda or Λ for Louise seemed to far from the Old World and the Ancient/Latin language).

I wish I was more regular in painting the feathers... anyway. 3 knights done.
