Hopefully you've seen my other Outremer getting started posts - here's my final one (well there are only three factions in the book!) - a Military Order warband. I've gone for a Knights of St Lazarus theme as, let's be honest, they were (and are) pretty cool.
As always with these things, it started with some sprues and some metals:
In every warband there's a leader - and this one is led by Sebastianus de Marsico (left), a devout knight of St Lazarus. Of course, the Order hasn't neglected its spiritual needs and he is accompanied by (l-r) Father Clement, Brother Jacob and Brother Focard:
Sebastianus is made using Fireforge Games sprues (thanks to a box splitter) and the Men of God are from the Perry Miniatures Crusaders range.
The Knights of St Lazarus are, naturally, the first warriors I added to the warband. Here we have Gérard (left) and Octavian (right):
These were from a Fireforge Games sprue too. I wanted a couple of real heavy hitters so made these with double-handed weapons.
Of course, I needed a couple of 'classic' knight-types too, you know, sword and board guys! Here's Bartolmeo (left) and Raymond (right):
These are Fireforge again. I'm quite pleased with how dynamic these two turned out!
Now, in Outremer a fully armoured knight is quite slow, so I knew I needed some ranged punch to help keep enemies at bay. This is where some Sergeant-Brothers come in! Here's (l-r) Matthaeus, Marcus, Lucas and Iohannes:
Overall I think this is the warband I'm looking forward to painting up the most!
Excellent dude
