Retinue Completed...I think

I finally got the last 2 units completed for my Baron's war retinue, the slingers and mounted serjeants. The slingers are the plastic peasants from Wargames Atlantic These are lovely figures and so easy to paint up.

The mounted serjeants are from Conquest miniatures. I really like these mounted figures as they are easy to put together and paint up. In keeping with the rest of the retinue I kept the shields to the dark red and cream combination.

After these were done I decided I wanted to add another small retinue. I will not need any peasants as I should have enough to cover a couple of retinues. I just need a few options on the serjeants and knights. I also decided to keep the shields uniform for this retinue. My idea being they can be a retinue of a Lord who is a loyal retainer of my Baron. So I'm thinking only around 300 points of troops. These can be combined with my Barons troops for larger games.

The first group of serjeants are done. The shield design is a simple cream with a pale blue stripe. A nice contrast to my Baron. The figures are a mix of Wargames Atlantic and Fireforge.

I did try to add some chips and worn marks to the shields, to highlight these troops are seasoned fighters. Think they turned out okay. The only other item I painted up was the cart I picked up from Iron gate scenery. Quick and easy to paint up.

I've also picked up a few more pieces of wattle fencing off Mitch which I'll need to get painted up in readiness for the games on the 18th.
