Byzantine Cavalry, Heavy Infantry, Camels, Pilgrims and More - Project Update - The First Crusade 09

[@TwisstedSage]

Interesting as I am presently in Portugal & just did a tour of a Templar Castle. Constructed in 1130,in Tomar Portugal as a bulwark against the Moors. When the Templars were tortured, murdered & disbanded by the French king, the Portugues king transformed the remaining members into a new order to save them & prevent war with France. The Castle was expanded over the next several several centuries into a çonvent until the state took over last century. Lots of Templar t-shirts, toys, nick knacks & passable weaponry to be had. Great models & painting as always. YES, camels are a hoot !! Hugs

[@7thson726]

That's really interesting, always enjoy the pitted history of castles and if the templars are involved then there is definitely an increased level of interest 👍

[@philRminiatures]

Spectacular and superb!! Love the camels, fanatical followers, and the mantlet with inflirtators...Inspired and gorgeous, thumbs up!!!

[@7thson726]

Really appreciate it mate thanks 😁

[@basileusp5494]

Your bases are fantastic, and your paint jobs always pop! Love all of your work, but the Byzantines are my favorite. Thanks for sharing your work!

[@7thson726]

You're very welcome, thanks for taking the time to comment 👍

[@vhcsPT]

Amazing work, congratulations. Reconquer produce aone amazing miniatures, but you did an amazing job.

[@7thson726]

Really appreciate it, thank you 👍

[@MiniatureRealms]

Stunning looking army mate

[@7thson726]

Thanks mate, taken a while as doing both at the same time but I'm really pleased with how they have come out 👍

[@tomisopp975]

Excellent as always, I know that I repeat myself but as I am watching all the videos of the Crusade project (kind of binge watching atm going on), I just can repeat myself- Great stuff, I like all the ideas, I am in "love" with the camels. :) well done

[@7thson726]

I really appreciate it, thank you, and I'm glad you're enjoying the content 👍

[@roguetrooper5401]

Stunning work as always look forward to seeing the completed armies when finished if there is ever such a thing as finished in this hobby

[@7thson726]

Haha no 😁 I just tell myself that soni can justify starting the next project 😅

[@liberator2408]

Fantastic figures mate, i have a few Reconquer figures that i need to paint sometime 🙂

[@7thson726]

They are great fun to paint and really help tell a story 👍

[@gromit368]

This camel unit is in my stash waiting to be painted. The Reconquer Designs figures are great with excellent detail and dynamism. Thank you for introducing them to me through your videos. Inspirational work as always. Cheers.

[@7thson726]

You're very welcome, they are great figures 👍 thanks for watching 😁

[@ShaunTame-re5us]

Beautiful painting and composition on the bases and I particularly liked the camel unit. Thank you. Great video.

[@7thson726]

Thank you 😁👍

[@Chrisbo123]

Such awesome looking miniatures (again) the colors, the basing, it just fits perfectly! I‘m gonna steal your „scenic basing“ style for my anglo-saxon hastings project

[@7thson726]

Thanks very much, I would love to see that, could do some awesome things with cracks in the shield wall, Normans that have been pulled from there horses and dragged behind it and where the Saxons are starting to break formation, I'm going to stop because I sense this way lies another project 😅

[@Chrisbo123]

@@7thson726 haha, yeah i`ve seen some very nice mini dioamas on blogs around the internet doing exactly that. And btw: another HC project dealing with the battles fo 1066? i`d totally watch that ;-)

[@Alopex1]

The koursores are absolutely amazing!!! Simply gorgeous! :)

[@7thson726]

Thank you 😁 I'm really pleased with how they came out

[@marctitley7020]

These are looking really great. Look forward to seeing them on the field.

[@7thson726]

Thanks very much, a few of them are in the next battle report 😁

[@The_Ben_M]

Awesome Job Mate! Might have to get you to print me some of those stunning models for my army!

[@7thson726]

They are lovely, problem is once you start you don't stop 😅

[@basicminiaturepainting]

Such beautiful work Martin

[@7thson726]

Thanks mate, I'm really glad you like them, hope you're keeping well 👍

[@grahamswargamevault2635]

wow, so good, great work Martin.

[@7thson726]

Thanks Graham, glad you like them mate

[@sansmere]

Great work! I would have the infiltrators already compromising an enemy encampment or built up area at the start of a game as a breach that needs immediate attention maybe costing points if unsuccessful.

[@7thson726]

Perfect idea, they are one of the most thematically fun bases I've worked on in a long time 👍

[@paulspaintshed3511]

Great work all round mate. Love the infiltrators very dramatic. Defo do more byzantines.

[@7thson726]

That's the plan now 😅 glad you like them mate

[@paulbenson9015]

Outstanding Martin! So many visual aspects and stories, Well done!!👍

[@7thson726]

[@cumbria99]

Wow your work keeps getting better and better. Inspirational stuff.

[@7thson726]

Thank you, really appreciate it 😁👍

[@lionheart3916]

Fantastic work Martin, I really like the dynamism in all of your units particularly the camel riders. I need to get some myself 👍

[@7thson726]

They are a very fun unit to paint 😁

[@BootsontheTable]

Looking fantastic Martin. Especially like the camels although they will do nothing in the game you know!

[@7thson726]

Not giving anything away but no matter what they did they looked great doing it 😅 no matter how useless

[@ShipWreck68]

Beautiful. Im never so brave as to use those bright of colors.

[@7thson726]

Thank you, took a while for me to adjust, but it's alot of fun 😁

[@NapoleonicWargaming]

Where did you get the crazy outline bases from? Great stuff, sated my need for camels!

[@7thson726]

They are great fun to paint. I get them from Big Red Bat bigredbatshop.co.uk/collections/all/bases

[@grantpavitt3198]

Fantastic painting great figures 😊

[@7thson726]

Thanks buddy 😁

[@thetreatment498]

Excuse me.. THIS IS AMAZING! I am completely new to this and you were recommended to me. How are you printing in such a massive scale? And what is this game you are playing in your channel? I love it! Also yes do more Byzantines! They have great units to make. You can make flamethrowers, bombers, and more! Great content, subscribed.

[@richardbradley2335]

He use Hail Ceaser for ancients and the spin off set Black Powder for napolenoics. Printers can do many figs at once like resin printers. Any questions about gaming just ask ok

[@7thson726]

I use Hail Caesar for gaming, and you can fit a fair few on each build plate and as long as you are careful with placement almost no failures 👍

[@7thson726]

Thanks for the subscription 😁 welcome aboard

[@talesfromshedhq5208]

Wonderful stuff as always. Can i ask what Big Red Bat bases you use? Are your standard units on FK&P13b? Cheers

[@7thson726]

Hi there, thanks very much. Yeah I use those the most and FK&P6 👍

[@stephenbarker7793]

Martin, great video. Ive used your technique for painting brown horses using Gore Grunta Fur. What colour would you recommend for the camels. Didn't catch it in the video. Thank you.

[@7thson726]

Really pleased you found it helpful 👍

[@YorikKurland]

Great review Mark!🐫))))))

[@7thson726]

Thanks buddy 😁👍

[@robandrosehobden3344]

Fantastic job on I don't really brilliant especially the camels great stuff as usual well done🏆🏆🏆🎖🎖🤠🤠🤠

[@7thson726]

Thanks so much 😁👍

[@tumbleweed1970able]

if it helps it was usual for Byzantine cavalry to remove there lance banners , pennants prior to battle to keep the safe and clean and not get in the way but they do look great , i have some most units without and some guard units elite troops with

[@7thson726]

That's really interesting, if I do a second unit I might do them like that, make them a bit more battle worn 👍
