15mm High Medieval Minis from Alternative Armies

I've been painting these besides working on my Hussite War minis and the odd fantasy or Italian Wars figures. I've based all these as singles so I could work on my color schemes and heraldic badges, but I have the rest of the units multi-based as that style has grown on me a little.

Sir Roland Hollowell, I think
this fellow
will be the leader of my retinue.

Sir Roland is getting on in years but
he insists on taking to the battlefield
to lead his men personally.

A less common version of a halved
shield design.

I think I'll use mostly muted tones but
with bright splashes like this
crossbowman's red surcoat.

I like the combination of muted green
and yellow on this axeman.

Decided on a striped pattern on this
swordsman, as well as his red
arming cap.

I imagine the ranged troops as being
part of retained garrison for Sir
Hollowell's castle.

As a group I think they have a cohesive feel.

I also have a few peasants that serve
as serfs.

Or maybe even fierce foot as a number
of them have hefty weapons like this
flail.

Either way they are likely to make a
mess on the battlefield.

Sir William Stout.

Recently elevated to knighthood,
Sir William has much to prove and
much to gain from a successful
campaign.

Sir Arnold of Bonen.

Sir Arnold is well traveled and
an avid tourney participant. While
he seeks his fortunes on the field of
honor his estate languishes.

Can't wait to get some more of these painted up so I can have some proper medieval skirmishes. I'll likely take the advice given in Lion Rampant and split the collection of minis in half and enjoy some land disputes between rival lords.

Still thirsty,
Chris
