I've had the minis for this army since 7th edition Warhammer Fantasy but kept putting off painting them for one reason or another. Thankfully KoW has multibasing so the chore of painting up peasants is lessened slightly! On top of that the army is playable unlike the poor Bretonnians..
I painted up the Green Knight a long long time ago but a new base is always welcome. Now he's conscripted as a redeemer exemplar.
I wanted all the infantry to look like it belonged to the knights via colors. I can imagine that the nobility would bring along a contingent of lower troops or militia to a gathering of forces.
For the peasants I went for an easy trick of priming white, running a sepia wash over all the minis and then filling in the rest of the colors with washes. The sepia wash gives the other colors a bit of shading to work with and creates a more faded colors look keeping them suitably dirty.
Ah the knights. Each one with individual heraldry and for the most part painted up separate. There really isn't a nice easy way to batch paint these at all and it was super slow going. It took more time to do one regiment of these than it took to paint my first 1k of Empire of Dust!
And there's the whole 1k points along with a bit of the new city board. I love how this army looks on the table but fear how long it will take to paint the rest...
And as a final aside I painted up this little chap for our recent 40K Tournament. We have been running short on terrain and did a fundraiser tournament to fund two new boards and terrain for them. Some of our community including me volunteered to paint up peoples minis for a prize as well as others getting to choose the theme and colors to be used on the boards.
I'll be doing a full tutorial on the boards and terrain eventually but have some other sci fi projects to finish first. Here's a preview of just what insanity I'm working on for 40k though...
