Loose!

Today I had every intention to paint Parliamentarian cavalrymen. 

Then I sat down and painted Song of Ice and Fire longbowmen and a herald, because uhhhh they were mostly done and it was easy and it's very hot in the office where I paint and... um... anyway here, some longbowmen (and a herald):

These are all Perry Miniatures WR1 plastics

The sigil on the herald's trumpet is that of House Baratheon of Storm's End; it's Renly's badge

I gave them the sorts of names that people have when you don't have surnames or family names

Painting those damn prancing stags on the flag really tested my freehand capacity

Together with the lord - Ser Padraig Chulain - and the standard bearer, Sally Strongarm, this little block of six figures is the first chunk of the Baratheon-aligned Ruckus warband:

 

House Chulain, a minor noble house, is famed for its longbowmen, seen in the family words, "Aim True"

 

So I guess I'm on a sudden medieval fantasy kick. I really need to pick up a couple of contrast paints and some more Agrax Earthshade I think, in order to do the New Model Army cavalry justice. So I'll try and grab those this week - I really really want to try and get those horse done this month.
