Medieval - The last box

The final box contains more cavalry figures. There are two groups. The first is a unit of old Britains Herald mounted knights. I imagine the serious collectors would turn in their graves if they saw what I did to my veteran figures. Originally they looked like plastic toys, so I slapped on some paint and used some decals that came from Warhammer. Some of the paint is flaking and the transfers are a bit yellow now, but they remain my favourites:

The second group is a load of Britains Deetail silver knights, again tarted up with a bit of paint and transfers on the shields:
I had to put bases on my cavalry figures as they tumble like dominoes when lined up in close order.

These are the last of my painted and based figures, although there is another box that contains a castle and around 50 unpainted Deetail foot figures that I might get around to painting at some stage.

  1. ah, Herald, that's better! The one at the front in red was the first Herald knight I was bought (inspired by seeing Bedknobs and Broomsticks in 1971) although mine had a yellow caparison. He's still up in my loft, battle worn and repainted as a crusader! I must say the enhancements show how good the Heralds were.

  3. Those Herald are lovely! I've only ever seen them in pictures. Its interesting how the older toys are usually more accurate figures.
