Grenadier Foot Knights

A quick post to show a couple of old Grenadier Miniatures foot knights that I recently painted up. The one on the right was painted a while back, possibly over a year ago at this point. I've had four other knights base coated and gathering dust ever since. The other week I decided it was time to change that sorry state of affairs and get another painted. That rapidly turned into me getting two done thanks to these being pretty straight forward models.


I originally bought these back in the early 90's on the strength of a review in Games Master International magazine. They made up a full unit of 15 knights and were a part of my poorly thought out Bretonnian army. It's really nice to see these few given a new lease of life. Two more waiting in the wings but for now I have other things I want to work on.

  1. I always loved this Grenadier range, yes they are exaggerated figures but were beautiful sculpts. Great metal work, well done.

    1. Mark Copplestone really added the best sculpts to Grenadier's catalogue. Everything he made for them is just so paintable.

    3. Cheers :) I used layering and washes. I wrote an article on how I did the model on the right which appeared in Wargames Illustrated last year.
