Good paint job. I like the subdued colours.

I first read it as " An Elector Count with his internal revenue!"

and thought to myself that those be some fierce taxmen.

I like those old models.

Good one

Just paint 'em whatever goes best with the rest of your army. Anytime I've painted a rare model, I've never really painted them in any special way, I just made sure the finished job was just a little nicer.

You know you're gonna paint 'em blue ....

You sir, are an eBay maniac. That is however a fantastic price for a war wagon. Looking forward to seeing it done (probably in about 15 mins).

Kaboom and the crowd goes wild!

Here is no 1

It's like working on an ancient artefact , unearthed from millennia past,

mr chumley warner · « **Reply #1915 on:** February 23, 2012, 03:13:15 PM »

and the 2nd treat !

Hauptmann Gustl · « **Reply #1916 on:** February 23, 2012, 03:25:37 PM »

Nice knight models, really great to see such rare pieces. But what about the horses and their size. To me they are looking like ponies. Could you please post a pic in which it comes to a comparison between the current barded horses and those steeds (compared to the pistolier horses those do not fit at all either). To my mind the question we have to deal with here is: Shall those beautiful gentlemen be combined with the current crap and fit in the army scheme or would you like to keep rider and mount together for nostalgia (or for another obvious reason: not lowering the value)?

mr chumley warner · « **Reply #1917 on:** February 23, 2012, 03:27:50 PM »

they are blatently ponies lol!

I think they were made for comedic value by Marauder, and never released in shops for sale because the steeds are so small.

I still love them though and will be keeping them as they are!

Knights on ponies, lol

White Knight · « **Reply #1918 on:** February 23, 2012, 03:30:05 PM »

I don't think comedic value was involved. In those days, like with many historical companies, horses were considered a bit of a waste of metal and systematically undersized.

mr chumley warner · « **Reply #1919 on:** February 23, 2012, 03:33:19 PM »

Do you think that If I give them my very best paint job ever yet seen, that they will hold their value (£150 for 2 ouch i paid!)?

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #1920 on:** February 23, 2012, 03:37:19 PM »

Is it the knights that are rare and valuable rather than the horses?

If the horses are worth a lot, I almost regret giving four of mine away!

nuttunen · « **Reply #1921 on:** February 23, 2012, 03:39:54 PM »

Correct me if I'm wrong but weren't warhorses in the middle ages rather small... most tapestries like show knights with their feet practically dragging on the ground.

Anywho those minies are awesome to the max!

mr chumley warner · « **Reply #1922 on:** February 23, 2012, 03:43:40 PM »

From what I have seen in 2 years of e bay searching, is that the Steeds are the rarer pieces.

The riders torso and legs go very occasionally , but fetch less money.

gave away 4 , ROFL

imagine in 10-20 years time, these will be so rare

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #1923 on:** February 23, 2012, 03:47:10 PM »

Damn. To another forum member even!

Ha ha.

I still have four left, plus two painted ones being ridden by dwarfs (they make great mounts for dwarfs!).

mr chumley warner · « **Reply #1924 on:** February 23, 2012, 03:48:22 PM »

lol

I think you could have expected £200-300 ?

hehe
