Hello everyone and happy New Year! After painting about sixty infantry in 2024, it's time to tackle my nemesis: horses!
Since I've decided to give a try to Spearhead rules, I need to paint 5 knights and one mounted commander to field a proxy of a Cities of Sigmar force (and possibly one great cannon to replace the mortar painted last year).
Let's start with the knights of the White Lady's close guard.
My plan was to use metal miniatures with barded horses in plastic, but I've realized that the scarf hanging on the side of the reiksguards made the junction between the legs and the torso difficult, and I've used instead legs in plastic. I have also decorated the piece of armour protecting the horse's head with a skull and a feather.
In terms of painting, I have opted for relatively simple patterns, already used on the banner of the foot guards: thorns surrounding the interlaced initials of Adélarde de Montfort and her late husband Heinrich.
To be honest, I'm a little bit disappointed by the final result.
