Continuing to plough through my Baron’s War figures I had a pleasant surprise in that I had a knight to paint which I had overlooked. Although these figures take longer to do, which then meant less time spent on my diorama project, it was much more fun to paint. I’ve got out of the rhythm of painting knights so I had to stop and remind myself, especially when it came to doing the freehand star on the shield.
In search of a name I once again delved into my family tree and came up with the name of Sir Tobias Denning.

Excellent job mate, lovely yellow!! I know a lot of painters don’t get on with yellow so well, but you make it look easy 😊👍

Thanks Alex. I used to struggle with yellow but for some reason once I base coated using Vallejo Model Color Iraqi Sand it became a lot easier. Don’t ask me why! 😂

Excellent looking Knight TIM, and that must have been a nice surprise finding one you had missed, without all the extra work of a horse with the mounted ones.

The shield freehand is very nice Dave. As others have said, the mustard/Iraqui Sand tabard looks the role. Sounds like you had more fun painting this one as well – a needed boost for you it sounds like too. Cheers!

Thanks Mark. The Knights are much more fun and rewarding so it was nice to find one I’d overlooked.

Toby looks great, mate! I certainly wouldn’t want to poked with that sharp object he’s carrying either. I’m glad you enjoyed painting him and it seems like he was a nice find! 🙂

Lovely job on the yellow, it’s a colour that I really struggle with but you’ve made it look easy 🙂 And again the heraldry looks amazing.

Thanks Anthony. I’m lucky enough to have some colourful names in my family tree that have a nice feel to them when it comes to the era.

Nice, especially that yellow which is just smooth perfection. I have to admit that I enjoy the bright colours of the heraldry on the chaps compared to the drab peasants that you’ve painted.

You and me both which is why the peasants have become a labour of love lately. I like painting the bright colours so much more.
