Wars Of The Roses - Painting Coat Of Arms

[@blahblah-hw3xg]

Hi Ken, that livery turned out great, one thing I would suggest you give a go is adding detail to your brushwork by using a thin 0.03mm pen, it gives very crisp outlines and can be used to fill in detail you just couldn't do with paint, I do love pen drawing so I guess I'm bias

[@3dWargamer]

o thats a good idea and will def give it ago

[@oldschoolfrp2326]

Looks great! Good example of how one leader and some banners will clearly identify the unit. The rest of the men can wear compatible colors and small badges. I liked how you dotted the red quadrants on the back as a reminder of proper orientation. I once painted a complex heraldic fur pattern right on a tabard then flipped it on the shield . .

Fantastic video ken Percy turned out great 👍 also like the gold on his armour too

[@freelancerblitz2579]

looking good, one extra tip is thin it with flow aid, seriously what a difference, youll find it so much easier

[@Frank-il3kt]

So cool you painted my family’s coat of arms Lucy Henry Percy, 1st Earl of Northumberland, 4th Baron Percy KG (1341-1408) (forfeit 1405) married, secondly, (d.1389), daughter of Thomas de Lucy, 2nd Lord Lucy and settled her large inheritance upon her second husband Hugh Percy, and his heirs male, on condition that they should always bear the arms of Lucy quartered with those of Percy.

As a painter of 28mm figurines purely for the pleasure and fun of the painting I was horified by the to me apparent slap dash painting of the coat of arms and then at the very end you showed the completed figure based up and in the full unit and I thought actually that looks really bloody good. If I was using the figures to wargame with I would be very happy with that paint job.

[@oldschoolfrp2326]

That’s the difference between painting a figure and painting an army, different techniques for different purposes. After starting with RPG character figures I’m still trying to learn better ways of completing larger units.

[@MiniatureRealms]

Nice work dude, the unit looks great!

[@smoothbrush4722]

Fantastic free hand painting.

[@jeandesroches1523]

The video is one of the better ones. the knight's basic colors was fine, the heraldry painted did not look at all like fish and a lion. But you did say at two feet the knight would look good. Well at two feet the heraldry is great. I can definitely see fish and lion. Well done. I believe in the two feet to look at miniatures and the figure stand out in a unit.

Brave to do mate and braver still showing work in progress! I am not Brave enough to do either. Well done

[@3dWargamer]

Cheers dom thanks very much!

[@paulbenson9015]

Thanks Ken very helpful....I think I might give it a go!

[@basicminiaturepainting]

Wonderful tutorial ken

[@mikesongs5274]

For that scale it looks super impressive.

[@BitesizeWargaming]

Great work Ken!

[@teessidetyrants1989]

Very cool

[@vonketteringham]

Looks very effective Ken 👍

[@templar976]

Freehand went a lot better than expected. I wonder how they managed to pull them off in real-life medieval times. Did they use some sort of stencil or did they just hire a very skilled painter for each flag, shield and livery?

[@j453]

Very cool👍

[@emmahynes7777]

You seem like the right person to ask judging by the lovely job you did there! I've got a warwick miniature pewter shield that I want to paint my coat of arms on. I'm new to miniature painting and it's going in a doll's house. I'd like it to look as though it was an heirloom/display piece. In your more experienced opinion should I use gloss or matte enamel paint? Red/gules and gold are the colours.

[@beeeeeesbury]

I'd say matte, but it's up to you!

[@MagnusDivision]

Dumb question but are you using magnets for the arms? I have a hard time with Perry figures and lining up the two handed weapons and its giving me fits.

[@SolventAbuseUk]

A brave attempt practice will make perfect

@@3dWargamer you will get it just keep doing it looks nice already

[@SolventAbuseUk]

no offense meant

[@BigSauce_]

did you do a custom tabard? I'm trying to find a way to make tabards myself for livery colours but haven't found a way that works so far!

[@3dWargamer]

No it's one from the percy family

[@BigSauce_]

@@3dWargamer I’m sorry, I meant the tabard on the model itself! Did you sculpt it/use some kind of method to add it on? Beautiful paintwork as always

[@3dWargamer]

@@BigSauce_ it's from one of the perry kits it's a command sprue I am sure u can by it direct from them

[@BigSauce_]

@@3dWargamer oohh I mistook the basecoat for Milliput or something like that! I see

[@Volgan16666]

Far to down on yourself Ken. Nothing wrong with those figures in the slightest.

[@benji4801]

did you do stalingrad part 4 yet?

[@3dWargamer]

No still not yet still have it all ready to go I am in the middle of moving so will be doing it once I move as will have more space

[@benji4801]

@@3dWargamer all right. thank you, great video!

[@reimundhoek1626]

I'm sorry, but I don't like your painting technique, especially since you should always start with the lightest colours.

[@3dWargamer]

Fair enough
