[@MedievalWargamer]

Brilliant work Martin!!Love them!SO happy there is another channel doing Medieval!

[@7thson726]

Thank you my friend 👍😀 really pleased you like them, hoping more people will start gaming the period as well

[@gunner678]

I have this set waiting on my shelf, so now inspired, i shall crack on. Great video, very helpful.

[@7thson726]

Cheers, really pleased you enjoyed it, it's a great kit 👍

[@mattmale7183]

Basilicanum grey is one of the best multipurpose paints ever invented. I'm surprised I'm still only on my first bottle. Another great video mate, I'm just catching up with all these.

[@7thson726]

Its a great paint, so many applications 👍😃 cheers bud

[@philipplace9990]

I never get tired of watching this! Beautiful results...

[@7thson726]

Thank you, glad you enjoy it 😁👍

[@jekylthorn8969]

Great vid! Reikland Flesh Shade is also gorgeous over golds and reds!!

[@7thson726]

Thanks 👍 this is very true, in fact most flesh wash/inks give a lovely tone

[@Rapman21]

Beautiful work. I’m going to look into the contrast paints.

[@7thson726]

Cheers 👍 they are definitely a very useful tool to add to the array of paints already available

[@NicGamz]

Absolutely excellent! Well done, thank you for a great video. 👍

[@7thson726]

Cheers mate 👍 thanks very much im really pleased you enjoyed it 😀

[@southaussielad2496]

Going to give this colour scheme a shot, it's very similar to the palette I use for my 40k orks. I have about 20 3d printed knights and a bunch of sergeant's to paint for kings of war. Great video I love your presentation style, please keep them coming👌

[@7thson726]

Thank you so much, glad you enjoyed it, let me know how they turn out 😅

[@NSYresearch]

They are soooo.. good looking bits of kit. Love your style of painting.

[@7thson726]

Thanks very much 👍😀 its a great kit, glad you like them

[@philRminiatures]

A splendid period to play...and a great job, most impressive armor !

[@7thson726]

Thanks very much 👍

[@commandosolo_193]

you make it look too easy and then I try and it looks like a five year old went crazy with colors. Great job, wish I could paint half as good as you.

[@7thson726]

Thank you my friend, its all practice, i try to break things down to make it as simple as possible for me so i don't forget how to do them 😁

[@vicsminiatures7949]

Wonderful work! The figures look great and thanks for sharing your technique

[@7thson726]

Thanks very much , glad you enjoyed it 👍 will be doing a few more soon for other troop types 😀

[@ModellingforAdvantage]

Cracking job on the horses, like the effect going over the leadbelcher with the contrast, gonna try that myself I think.

[@7thson726]

Cheers 👍 its something that I've been playing around with, you can use other colours to great effect as well such as black templar

[@ModellingforAdvantage]

@@7thson726 it works well.

[@gkspain1]

This guy has turned out real nice, all the best, Garry

[@7thson726]

Cheees mate 👍 glad you liked it 😀

[@emmetminiatureswargames2424]

Great stuff, one of my very favourite periods. Painting six of these chaps at the moment.

[@7thson726]

Excellent, they are a great set 👍😀

[@BootsontheTable]

Very nice job Martin

[@7thson726]

Cheers mate 👍 nearly finished them 4 to go 😀

[@MillersMiniatures]

Look brilliant mate.😁👍 Great painting tutorial. Definitely need to get some contrast paints. Saves so much time.

[@7thson726]

Cheers bud 👍 they definitely save time and are a good tool to use alongside other paints as well

[@GP_uniquehandlefail]

For a guy who loathes painting horses you sure do a damn fine job of cavalry. Like the new set up as well!

[@7thson726]

Haha thanks, i hate painting them but love how they act in game 😀 glad you like it, decided it was time to change things a little 👍

[@peterlittle6651]

Great video and info Martin thanks.

[@7thson726]

Cheers Peter 👍 glad you liked it

[@leont66wargaming31]

Nice one Martin

[@7thson726]

Thanks mate 👍

[@bernardspencer9876]

Made it look easy. Will try it

[@7thson726]

Thanks very much 👍😀

[@johnmartin8382]

I work at Bosworth and I'm busy painting up two armies at the moment.

[@7thson726]

Awesome 😃 are you basing the armies on the Bosworth campaign or have you gone for the ealier battles. Its been a while since I've been to Bosworth, hopefully when the lockdown ends 🤔

[@lesliebeilby-tipping6854]

Great stuff Martin be good to see these in a battle report.

[@7thson726]

Cheers Leslie 👍 they'll be uses in the next one definitely. Got it all booked in ready to go 😀

[@basicminiaturepainting]

Beautiful work martin

[@7thson726]

Thanks very much 👍

[@maryhinge6334]

Great work there mate. A very simple method too. 👍

[@7thson726]

Cheers buddy 😀 i try to keep it straightforward for all the basic stuff then i can add more intricate details if i need to 👍

[@owowowowowowowowwowowo]

Damnit Martin I’m soooooooo tempted to make a force for Wars of the roses but I must resist ! Great video and great work !

[@7thson726]

Haha sorry dude 😀 why fight it, you know it'll happen sooner or later. Glad you liked it mate 👍

[@BattleBunkerHQ]

I really like this Martin, cracking work mate 👍

[@7thson726]

Thanks mate 👍😀

[@beeleywood7796]

Dam you sir, not only have you got me hooked on Napoleonic's but now on painting mounted knights.

[@7thson726]

Haha sorry 😅

[@RockinL7BuckingBulls]

Can’t wait to see your battle report .

[@7thson726]

Cheers mate 👍 will be in a week or so 😀

[@billroy7860]

Great video (just like your other WotR videos), so much so that I am now waiting on a delivery from Perry's of their Yorkist Army set!

[@7thson726]

Haha awesome 👍😀 and well done on picking the Yorkists

[@AbuHildago]

as always ... great paintjob. If i could wish me a paiting video from you i would choose "paiting a mini in white". Painting white in my opinion is very difficult.

[@7thson726]

Thanks mate 👍 funny you should say that, my next painting video will involve a white tabbard 😀

[@matam56]

Awesome !

[@7thson726]

Really pleased you like it 👍

[@granapriego]

Good work mate.

[@7thson726]

Thanks buddy 👍

[@damjan4435]

Can these be used as Empire knights for Warhammer fantasy? Mainly for scale, because the models look so good

[@7thson726]

I think they could be, they would have smaller hands and the bare heads would be smaller but they should fit well 👍

[@randolphmagee]

Interesting and enjoyable video 👍

[@7thson726]

Thanks mate 👍 glad you enjoyed it

[@AzraelThanatos]

Only thing that I can see which stands out to me is that you didn't do anything for the socks beyond a single layer. Seems like something that might need a wash and simple highlight there...or base slightly darker and highlight to that layer.

[@7thson726]

Yeah im not sure why i dis that as i normally highlight again to add more definition. In my last painting vid on ECW cavalry i did do that, can't remember why i didn't here haha 😅😁

[@andrewlinnik9724]

On the first round I saw an knight with the sword and the hand raised up.There is no such knight in this set. Is that a conversion? Thanks!

[@7thson726]

Hi there, yeah he is, that arm is from the light Cavalry pack I think 👍

[@andrewlinnik9724]

​@@7thson726Thank you for your lesson!!! You inspired me to paint miniatures!!! The lesson is cool👍👍👍😉

[@pancakepayneypayne6499]

very nice

[@7thson726]

Thanks mate 👍

[@2007bing]

Look awesome! Do you paint crusaders?

[@7thson726]

Thanks mate, i haven't, but i have a plan to make a kingdom of Jerusalem force at some point 👍

[@christiangoldenlok3758]

How do I drybrush like you? Im on tthat stage and Im unconfident

[@7thson726]

Drybrushing can be tricky. I find the best way is once you think you have removed enough oaint onto a paper towel to start, don't. Go back to the towel and keep going until you see barely any paint coming from the brush. I always brush from top to bottom as well to catch the edges light would hope that helps 👍😃

[@BrushQuill]

You painted it all wrong! Joking!!! Great guide, nice and simple to follow. The knights came out looking awesome. Just wondering if it wouldn't save you time to spray the rider silver?

[@7thson726]

Errrr, basically, yes haha but i didnt have any and i couldnt be bothered setting up the airbrush just for him 😀 glad you liked it 👍

[@Kachina74]

Is this good for a begginer?

[@7thson726]

I'd say so 👍

[@Kachina74]

@7th Son Thanks, I've done a few of of Perry's sets, but I feel that I'm still a begginer

[@7thson726]

@@Kachina74 take your time, make sure the glue is set on the horse before you position the rider or the horse armour and all should be well 👍

[@johnclarke9498]

That is very good :)

[@7thson726]

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it 👍

[@norm977]

Thank you.Do you use a protective varnish and if so what sort. I am finding my matt dampens down the armour too much.

[@7thson726]

I do, i use the fhe Citadel Munitorium Varnish, its not totally matt 👍

[@andybrown4396]

cracking vid, ive just got the mounted men at arms a few days ago! what size brush did you use?

[@7thson726]

Cheers, glad you liked it 👍 i use something similar to the army painter character brush for the majority of the model swapping to a 00 brush for detail work 😃

[@cobachtruth8791]

Your videos are better better dude! Please do a "how to play" nevermind the billhooks in September!

[@7thson726]

Thanks mate 😀👍 im definitely thinking about it, jve just finished my first read through of the rules
