The Barons War VLOG #1

[@johnbailey8919]

Great video! My mothers family is Walton, and I have done research on the family name. Sir John de Walton also spelled de Wauton was indeed Lord of Mashamshire Argent Field = white/silver, a Chevron at the Nombril point Sable = black, and an Amulet in the dexter chief point of the Escutcheon = Sable. My information came from the The history and antiquities of Masham and Mashamshire by John Fisher 1865. Excellent painting, I'm jealous!

[@stigofthedump181]

Thanks for the information, I'll look at getting another mounted Knight done in that livery.

[@danbuman8422]

[@WargamingHistory]

Superb brushwork on them

[@midshipman8654]

Thats some beautiful livery. the folds in the cloth also add some nice dramatic accents.

[@stigofthedump181]

Thanks a lot!

[@johnbattyll6874]

Awesome work mate. Looking forward to seeing the next lot when they are done. Like the idea of adding the animals.

[@stigofthedump181]

Thanks, yeah adding little bits of scatter terrain is a great way to immerse yourself in the period and the game.

[@matam56]

Nice painting job ! Love it !

[@stigofthedump181]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@BattleBunkerHQ]

Excellent start on this project mate, I really like what you’ve done with the knights and the history behind them. Great painting, giving a very smooth cloth also. I enjoyed our live talk with Andy Hobday and Mark Farr and will hopefully be seeing Andy on Saturday. I look forward to the next one 👍

[@stigofthedump181]

Cheers Lee, its a really interesting period that i know sod all about really, so great to dig into. looking forward to Partizan!!

[@BattleBunkerHQ]

@@stigofthedump181 hope to see you there Steve 👍

[@vonketteringham]

Excellent. Making me think about my Lion Rampant project! 😣

[@stigofthedump181]

Your Lion Rampant project was ace! I may have to check out some of the claymore castings minis too.

[@PaintbrushPirate]

Great video, I love the colours you've used for the knights. It's always great to see more Barons' War content!

[@stigofthedump181]

Thanks, theres not a huge amount on the old youtubes is there? I thought there'd be loads!

[@motorbikekultofspeed1094]

Lovely models. Thank you for sharing. I recently placed an order for Outremer models after learning about the Baron's War. I've heard good things about the game. I look forward to seeing more progress on your models.

[@stigofthedump181]

Cheers, the Outremer stuff looks amazing! That may well be next on the list!

[@axisandaliens]

Great progress! I have a deep appreciation for anyone who puts in such a thoughtful effort with their paint schemes.

[@stigofthedump181]

Thanks, im really enjoying the research for these guys, its great to dive into a bit of local history too.

[@paulspaintshed3511]

Top job mate the project is coming along nicely. Have a look at the perry's medieval cottage that should work well.

[@stigofthedump181]

Cheers Paul, good shout, ill check theat out.

[@howarddavies3011]

Really interesting project. Like your approach. Looking forward to seeing how it develops. Need to check the rules out.

[@stigofthedump181]

Certainly worth a look Howard.

[@daniellane5224]

Loving your work!

[@stigofthedump181]

Thanks.

[@philRminiatures]

First class knights, well done!

[@stigofthedump181]

Thanks Phil.

[@MegaParillo]

I thought the family lost their coat of arms to another, older family?

[@stigofthedump181]

who? The Fitzallen family?

[@maryhinge6334]

Great work on these mate. I really like the fact you’re tying it all into real people. 👍

[@stigofthedump181]

I'm doing my best, but a bit of artistic licence never hurt anyone !

[@deda0713]

I just came across your channel. Your painting is amazing! Can I ask how you do your yellows? What's your recipe for painting? Also love how you white pops!

[@stigofthedump181]

For the yellow I used Averland sunset from citadel, shaded with skeleton horde contrast, then highlighted up with averland sunset with ivory from vallejo. I've found the trick is to keep the paint very thin in multiple layers, or you run the risk of the surface becoming uneven. Hope that helps, happy painting!

[@abitgamey9745]

they look great

[@stigofthedump181]

Thanks.

[@MedievalWargamer]

Love them!!

[@stigofthedump181]

Cheers

[@glenbrooks2269]

great video , what yellow did you use? it looks amazing

[@stigofthedump181]

It's Averland sunset from GW

[@robertfisher8359]

Small question. Did you just write the names on the bottom of the base? I like how that detail was included (on top of how fantastic the models look) and was thinking of doing the same for my own knights.

[@stigofthedump181]

Yes, I have just written the names on, I may make some proper labels though.

[@robertfisher8359]

Personally, I like having the names underneath. Btw, you asked about the minor knights. For the information I've been able to find (I've been doing a lot of digging for 12th-13th century knights and sergeants, since my forces are more medieval Germany, France, Italy, 3rd and 4th Crusades rather than England) the knights would still have the heraldry of their family. Sergeants would still have the heraldry of their liege (as the shields would be issued to them and bought/made at the expense of said liege). If you'd don'tmind some ideas, you could use the heraldry of some of the lords/knights from Brabant, Flanders, Holland (Brabant was renowned for providing the best mercenaries of this time, particularly spearmen). You can also make some Italians (Genoese crossbowmen were also quite popular, even if they didn't have their later iconic pavise shields), or some relatives from French holdings in Normandy and Aquitaine (the Plantagenets weren't the only ones with land across the Channel and the French roots seems to be very much forgotten by players). Where things got real weird for me was when I was working on some archbishops. The bishopric had 1 heraldry, but the bishop might be from a family that had its own coat of arms (such as when a member of House von Wittelsbach became Archbishop of Mainz). While it may be creative license, I'm putting the Wittelsbach heraldry on his shield, but the Heraldry of Mainz on his horse's caparison.

[@stigofthedump181]

@Robert Fisher interesting. I will certainly look at some of the French Knights, very good idea. Thanks.
