PanzerKaput Goes To Barons’ War

Here is a quick update with all that have been completed so far,

The Lord and his bodyguard,

5 Foot Knights

5 Spearmen.

I have on the painting table a further 8 Foot Sergeants and 10 Bowmen.

This should take me close to my required 700 points for Revolte in Rotherham on 25 March.

I have finished my second unit for my Kingdom of Jerusalem force and these are spearmen. I have got with shields for these guys as they look nice with them and also in the Baron’s War game these are functional and act as a saving throw, admittedly a slim chance but a chance none the less.

I have got for a paler blue on these guys but have kept them in the same colour range of the nobles. Hopefully this will provide a nice cohesive look to the whole force, the baby blues, lol.

I have created three banners for my Kingdom of Jerusalem force, but which one to use?

These are all based on the Cross of Jerusalem

I have made a start on my next faction but this time it is for Baron’s War: Outremer. I am basing these guys on one of my favourite films Kingdom of Heaven, the Director’s Cut, and on the Kingdom of Jerusalem.

I have gone for a sky blue colour as the main colour as I think it make them stand out for the crowd, bet now we will see a ton of them now, lol. Added to this is a pale yellow colour to add some contrast.

I am building a small 700 point force for a tournament in Rotherham on 25th March and this is the start of it, my commanded section and commander.

The Kingdom of Jerusalem, officially known as the Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem, also known as the Frankish Kingdom of Jerusalem, was a Crusader state that was established in the Levant immediately after the First Crusade. It lasted for almost two hundred years, from the accession of Godfrey of Bouillon in 1099 until the siege of Acre in 1291. Its history is divided into two periods with a brief interruption in its existence, beginning with its collapse after the siege of Jerusalem in 1187 and its restoration after the Third Crusade in 1192.

The original Kingdom of Jerusalem lasted from 1099 to 1187 before being almost entirely overrun by the Ayyubid Sultanate under Saladin. Following the Third Crusade, it was re-established in Acre in 1192. The re-established state is commonly known as the “Second Kingdom of Jerusalem” or alternatively as the “Kingdom of Acre” after its new capital city. Acre remained the capital for the rest of its existence excluding the two decades that followed the Crusaders’ establishment of partial control over Jerusalem during the Sixth Crusade, through the diplomacy of Frederick II of Hohenstaufen vis-à-vis the Ayyubids.

The vast majority of the Crusaders who established and settled the Kingdom of Jerusalem were from the Kingdom of France, as were the knights and soldiers who made up the bulk of the steady flow of reinforcements throughout the two-hundred-year span of its existence; its rulers and elite were therefore predominantly French. French Crusaders also brought their language to the Levant, thus establishing Old French as the lingua franca of the Crusader states, in which Latin served as the official language. While the majority of the population in the countryside comprised Christians and Muslims from local Levantine ethnicities, many Europeans (primarily French and Italian) also arrived to settle in villages across the region.

I have finished my Early Medieval Irish cavalry from Footsore Miniatures and I am chuffed with the way they have turned out. I’m planning on using these with my Irish army but also for my Welsh in my Barons’ War Game.

Well until the Irish list turn up for Barons’ War and then they will be used of Irish and not Welsh.

I planning on adding more to my Irish and painting some more of them.
