Later Hungarian Generals & Royal Banderium

As the final part of my new Later Hungarian Army I needed to complete suitable command figures and the Royal Banderium. I still have well over 150 unpainted Medieval knights and commanders left over in Project Lead Mountain and I had a sort though and picked out eighteen castings that I thought would be perfect for the Black Army of Hungary see here for details https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Army_of_Hungary I had already done a painting experiment to create knights wearing blackened armour so I was confident of the final result. I used a mix of mostly Minifigs castings plus some Naismith/Roundway figures and a few others that I cannot identify. After some research I managed to come up with suitable flags and pennons for the lances. The DBx lists allow for four knight generals including a Szekler & a pair of Royal Banderium bodyguard elements. Here are the pictures of my completed figures. I have plenty of generic knights for the High Medieval period so I do not need to create any more elements for this army.

As part of Project Lead Mountain, my ongoing painting attempt to clear out all my unpainted 15mm metal. either to add to my collection or sell off because I should not have bought the metal in the first place I have also been refreshing and rebasing my older figures and finishing left over castings to match elements already painted.

Here are the lasted ancients elements I have been working on as part of my Feudal Era collection.

Project Lead Mountain Continues 10th May 2016 Installment

Latest Installment Of Project Lead Mountain

I am still desperately trying to clear out my unwanted metal. I have been disposing of the surplus stuff over the last three years via EBay search User ID Dyson690 for my current offerings.

In the meantime I have also been painting up the 15mm metal to either add to my collection as I create long unpainted armies or to finally finish off missing options in armies I already have. Alongside this I have also been slowly working through my older figures and refreshing them with new bases to bring them into line with my newest figures.
