With the second guy, I think the reason why his coat of arm has a cross through his coat of arms is to make it look different. The way coats of arms worked back in the day (and how it still works) is you had to make a chance to make the coat of arms your own. This change could be a massive one or it could be as simple as putting a cross through one quarter.
It could be. I think some of them also adopted more , especially the Scottish, as they became allies with the French. Adding Fleur-de-lys as they gained lordship over French fiefs. In the case of Stewarts, there was two of them in France with very similar coats of arms... I often confuse the two ;)
Really nice work on the heraldry here. Do you paint the body, and then attach the arms, or full assembly, and then an agile brush? Do please keep up on this project, it's been a good one to follow.
Thank you! I build everything first. Usually I paint shields separate unless they’re bucklers. So the heraldry is done when the minis are fully assembled and I have to work around arms and the like. I just find it better this way so I don’t screw up with glue and I can also use green stuff to patch up arms and weapons etc before I prime it all. I’ll keep updating it! I’m doing more cavalry next. ;) thanks for watching
The scots generally stayed out fondue Hundred Years war between 1406-1430 and for good reason. In 1406, in a attempt to keep his heir safe from the political intrigue of Robert Stewart, Duke of Albany, King Robert III of Scotland attempted to send his heir James to France for safety. English sailors captured the ship carrying James and brought him to London where he was held in the Tower as a prisoner. In April of 1406, King Robert III died. Meaning the 11 year old James, a prisoner in English hands was know King of Scots. James would be a prisoner for the rest of the reign of Henry IV and all of Henry V's reign as King of England though he was treated more like a guest and seems to have become a friend and companion of Henry V by the final years of the victor of Afincourts reign. james even accompanied and fought in Henrys's 1421-1422 campaign in france, attended the cornination of Catherine of Valios as Queen of England, and sat with the King and Queen did in the feast afterwards (sitting to the queens left while Henry day to her right). He also accompanied Henry on the royal progress and was with the English king when Henry died. He then was one of the commanders of the escort that Brought the body back to London. James also married Joan Beaufort one of Henry's cousins(a daughter of one of Henry IVs half brothers). He was released early in the reign of Henry VI in 1424. The Scots agreed to a truce during his captivity to last at least till England had received the final ransom payments from the Scots for James which happened in 1430. This is why Scotland which took a active part in the hundred years war was not as active during the Agincourt era.
I used vallejo and citadel paints. The base coat is vallejo oily steel washed with citadel nuln oil then layered with gw iron breaker and edged with runefang steel

These are amazing. How did you get that beautiful yellow?
That's some crazy levels of freehand. Do you use micron pens or are you just insanely steady handed.
I didn’t use micro pens for these ones. I used a size 0000 brush lol. Very very small.
Tutorial when?
Not sure I'll do one - there is much work to do but maybe one day in the future.
how do you do your metals that shine is insane
Wow really nice paint job on those foot knights. what paints do you use? and how do you get that look on the armor?
I used vallejo and citadel paints. The base coat is vallejo oily steel washed with citadel nuln oil then layered with gw iron breaker and edged with runefang steel
What was your paint recipe for the armor
