Thank you!!

Thank you! Right you are good Sir!

Thanks! It is amazing what you can do with these wonderful kits!

Thank you! Much appreciated!!

Thanks so much! I have loved working on this army and likely will be returning to it in the near future :)

Great idea! Sounds like a fun project :)

Thanks for the kind words and I am glad if the video offered some inspiration for your own projects :)

I wasn't familiar with S gauge but that could be an option. O scale two rail is a good option as well. I went with a compromise between realistic look scale wise and economical. Definitely lots of ways to go! Thanks for the comment :)

Thank you so much 😀

Thank you! Sorry for the late reply!

Thank you! I hope it offered some inspiration! Good luck with your project :)

Thank you! I find it best to prime white when painting bright colors so that is where I start. Then I base coat the entire model in the various colors and then occasionally use a citadel wash that is near to the color of each base coat color. For example, on the yellow, I used seraphim sepia by GW. If a wash is used, that is the only time. I then just paint using thin layers and gradually bring each color up until I reach the lightest shade as a highlight. It is a pretty old school style of painting but I think it matches the era that these miniatures and the look that I fell in love with back in the 90's. Hope that helps! Have fun with you project!

Thank you!!

It probably would be easier in xps foam. I didn’t have any on hand and I have never used it for terrain before so I was more comfortable with the clay, which is super cheap. I have a terrain book describing the process and I follow a gentleman in the UK that makes buildings for war gaming this way on commission and have been blown away with the results he achieves. I wanted to give it a try myself. I found it to be intuitive and enjoyable. I like the heft that the clay provides and I think as my skills improve, extremely realistic results could be achieved. I would say for very large pieces, like a castle, foam might be batter. If you have xps foam readily available and are interested in going that route, give it a try! Both mediums can give very good results. Good luck with your project!!

Thank you! It’s been a labor of love! I hope to return to this project over the winter😊

I primed in white. Base coated with Coat D Arms Tan Earth. Washed with Agrax Earthshade. Highlighted with Vallejo 70-882 Middlestone. I spent a lot of time experimenting to achieve the uniform color that I was looking for and am happy with the result. Hope that helps and good luck with your Soviets!

Thanks so much! The bases are hand cut from 1/8” pressboard that I purchased from Home Depot. I used basswood strips from Hobby Lobby to make the tray edging. I also magnetized the bases of the miniatures with rare earth magnets. The movement trays have thin sheets of flex steel glued to the bottom that I purchased from Litco. This configuration hold the knights in the movement trays even if turned upside down. This helps prevent damage during play, transport and storage. Let me know if you have more questions😊

Thanks for the kind words! I really enjoyed working on this army. It was my first Bolt Action army that wasn’t Western European green bases so it was fun to do something different. Urban bases are very time consuming but can result in very characterful bases😊

Thanks for the kind words! This project has been a true labor of love. I hope to be returning to it this winter😊

Thank you! I thought the basing flexibility was the best choice for me

Thanks you :)

Thanks so much for the kind words and I am glad I could inspire you to build you own army!! I have had a blast working on this army and will be returning to it in the months to come. It is truly a labor of love and I know it will be a continuing lifetime project. I have so much to paint for this army yet and am excited to return to my Bretonnians over the many years to come! Be sure to share pictures of your army in the various facebook groups or via youtube. Enjoy the journey my friend :)

Thank you! I have more Bretonnians to paint and look forward to doing them. I am currently on other miniature projects but will likely be back to this one in the months to come. I will be sure to post up videos when I do!! Thanks for watching :)

Thanks for the kind words! Much appreciated! There are 25 5th edition Questing Knight sculpts including Hero, Champion, Musician, and Standard bearer. I was super lucky to get the full set for $200 USD. At that time they were not bringing such crazy prices that seemed to start during Covid. The guy I got them from had gotten them from someone else years back and, as he was no longer interested in painting them and looking to start a Bolt Action army, he made me a good deal. It was a good deal but a fair price at the time. Oh how prices have changed! It was just dumb luck that I was buying a lot of 5th edition Bretonnians a couple of years before they became so desirable.

Thanks James! She already has developed a bit of a story through game play and the size of her arms must be an indication of her monumental toughness lol! Hope all is well :)

Thanks! I have seen the the Sarissa train. Thanks for the heads up! I am actually considering it for my Stalingrad table I am currently working on. I think it would fit in well. Good luck with your train project and have fun!!

Thank you! Brexit has really caused trouble for many people ordering from the UK. What a shame. Good luck with your project!!

Thank you! I did make the bases. I used a variety of sizes of Woodland Scenics ballast, bricks form Pegasus Hobbies, and thin sheets of wood cut into plank/board widths and broken into short pieces. It was fun to try something different from my standard green summer/spring bases.

Thank you! Yeah you would think 28mm would be more the same across all manufacturers. Most of my army is Black Tree Design to help keep them more uniform but I couldn't resist adding some infantry from other manufacturers to add variety. Overall I am happy with the results!

Thanks Justin! Not as impressive as your Napoleonics though!

Thanks Jim! I had lots of fun painting these.

Thanks so much! I appreciate you taking the time to comment :)

Thanks Sean. I was happy how they turned out though it is surprising how the quality diminishes when looking at them that closely on video lol!

Thanks Christoph!
