Brothers in arms: Painting an Agincourt era knight

In this video, I provide an updated guide to painting metal armour with Vallejo air metallic. I demonstrate on an Agincourt era foot knight.
The model is by Claymore Castings and available here:

Your tut's just keep getting better and better. Would love to see an '80's era British soldier and how you'd tackle DPM.

[@PaulMclauchlin]

The sculpt is by Paul Hicks. Claymore Castings are a really lovely set of miniatures. Very nice work btw.

[@UrSilverLining]

BRILLIANT! best episode yet. could you consider doing a Augustan era roman or something similar, so long as u r redoing your old videos anyway. thx

[@pauldaley9626]

looks really great.

[@billybrooks1365]

Love that background music.

[@wssmagazine]

GodsJesusHolyBilly4 Thank KZbin for their wonderful free background music tracks. :-D

[@RobertChisholm]

I'll have to try that gold technique next time i need to paint bling.

[@Filippo5]

I loved how you did the metal areas, usually I use the citadel colours for metal, even if I prefer vallejo in general. By the way, would you consider to do a tutorial on blending? Great work as always, by the way cheers

[@wssmagazine]

87MrPippo There is a tutorial on blending (generally). It's under my technique series. Also, normal Vallejo metals are awful, but the Vallejo air paints are another story. They are excellent - better than Citadel in my opinion.

Love if you could do something SYW maybe Prussian ;) Keep up the great work

[@JoseDanielMassterOzymandiasMx]

Great!

Hi Congrats on another great tutorial. Quick question.How can one sort of break up the ummmmm monotony of a medieval knightly army. I tried going over the metal work with a sort of smoke ink or blue ink just before the final highlight but nothing seemed to work. They can't all have had the same alloy and If I'm painting individuals I sort of want an individual look though part of a fighting force- Ideas??? Thanks :):):)

[@wssmagazine]

panzerleader49 Have you tried doing some black type armour? I did a tutoral on an Elizabethan soldier with dark armour on, but they were using it much earlier already. If you are going to incorporate colors, that's a good idea too, but you prolly want to start earlier in the process. Try mixing just a hint of blue or purple into all the layers you apply to the model.

yeeeeeeeeeeeeeessssssssssss FINALLLLLLLLLLY

[@jimsmodelmaking308]

Hi Is the wash you use in this video just a black wash as I can't find anything with the name you call it (transcribed as Nall Oil). Thanks.

[@wssmagazine]

+Jim Fisher It's nuln oil. It's the standard black wash available from Citadel (Games Workshop).

[@jensich3300]

Can you make a List of colour, step to step,please ?

[@stephen1098]

What brushes do you use? The one in the video has a great point.

[@wssmagazine]

stephen gache Winsor Newton Series 7. Size 1 or 00

[@stephen1098]

Wargames, Soldiers and Strategy are they the standard or miniature ones. I need to order them. they look so much tougher than my dick blick sables

[@wssmagazine]

I usually use the long nibbed standard ones because they achieve a finer, thinner point. They both work well though. Really up to you. I recommend trying both and seeing which you prefer.

[@wcwindom56]

when painting knights etc, do you handpaint the heraldry on shields and coats?

[@wssmagazine]

+wcwindom56 Yes, I do, when relevant. I'm not a huge fan of decals.

[@wcwindom56]

+Wargames, Soldiers and Strategy Have you done a video of it. That is the part of painting figures that gives me the most trouble, so sadly I do use decals IF i can find some for the specific type figs I'm painting.

[@wssmagazine]

I have done various free-hand work in a variety of videos, which does include some shield designs, though I don't think ever specifically on a high medieval knight. I hope to do something like that in the future, but of course, it's quite time consuming. :-)

[@greatwhitefalcon]

Hi! Did you plan to paint a mounted men-at-arms figure from Perry minis Wars of the Roses? Would be really awesome!

[@wssmagazine]

+Falk Hvit I may eventually. I don't do mounted units as often since they are so much more work, so you'll have to probably wait awhile.

[@greatwhitefalcon]

Thank you very much for your reply! I will wait gladly. I am preparing an army of hungarian knights from Perry figures, and I have learnt a lot from your videos already. Thank you!

[@wssmagazine]

Maybe if I can find a knight with an armoured or covered horse, I'll do that sooner, since it's different from other horses I painted and wouldn't involve so much horse flesh (always tedious).

[@spitandfire]

+Wargames, Soldiers and Strategy I believe the mounted men at arms box set from perry miniatures has plated horses.
