28mm The Baron's War (Footsore) - Part II

Today I finished another miniature from Footsore Miniatures The Baron's War range, a bannerman of Henry de Beaumont, 5th Earl of Warwick. Beaumont was a commander of the Royal Army and saw action at the siege of Lincoln in 1217, fighting for Henry III. Being from Warwickshire I'm pleased to have some local representation in my Loyalist army. 

It was a pleasure to paint this miniature. The detail from sculptor Paul Hicks is just superb and it was great to have a go at painting some brighter and bolder colours for this wealthy warrior, he really stands out on the battlefield amongst his more drab-looking lowborn companions.

As I wasn't entirely pleased with my initial attempt at using static grass for basing the first pack of Baron's War spearmen, I chose to stick to a proven formula this time and followed the free PDF basing guide from The Army Painter. I'm much happier with the results and I will be using this for all my Baron's War miniatures going forward. I will probably go back and alter the first batch of spearmen as well. 

This bannerman is one half of the first Foot Knight Command pack, I hope to finish the other figure (Beaumont himself) this week. Thanks for looking!
