This is the start of my Norman army with a few pics of mounted and dismounted Knights.
I thought I would try out out a new system of painting in 15mm.I used a black shade method in that I painted the raised areas and left the recesses in the black undercoat.This system works great in a small scale and so far I\'m pleased.
Anyone else tried this method before and what do you think?

Mounted Knights led by a converted Duke William and Bishop Otto.

Sehr sehr schön. Ich finde, dass deine Bemaltechnik sehr gut wirkt, da du trotzdem noch mindestens 2 Highlights gesetzt hast. Für Ritter und Modelle mit viel Rüstung ist das eine tolle Technik. Für buntere Armeen mit mehr Stoff (z.B. Schweizer, Landsknechte, Mauren, Araber u.ä.) bin ich mir da nicht so sicher.
Mir persönlich sind es nur einige Wimpel zu viel an den Lanzen. Das erinnert schon ganz schön an den \"Kingdom of Heaven\"-Film, aber vielleicht war´s ja Absicht.
Von welchem Hersteller sind die Figuren ?

Great WORK!! I really like it.
Maybe you could have added little more variation in the base design, like grey stones, some lighter ground, some brushes, etc. Miniatures are great! You painted the banners by yourself or are they from little big men?
I used kind of the same technique with my 6mm WW2 Infantery, but of course it\'s still different with 15mm.

...die Bemalung ist nicht schlecht, die vielen farbigen Fähnchen stehen aber im krassen Gegenzatz zur faden bieblosen Basengestaltung. Warum hast du die Bilder hier gepostet + nicht in der Bildergalerie? Da gehören sie hin...

@Everyone
Thank you very much for the compliments!I appreciate it!

@Sorandir
Your right,I\'m not sure how it would work with a colorful army like you mentioned,but I think it still would.Your right I felt inspired by \"Kingdom of Heaven\" and went heavy on pennants.I wanted to add some color for contrast.
All the miniatures are Old Glory 15\'s.They make very nice 15mmm,but I don\'t care for their 25mm.

@ Wraith
I wanted to keep my bases simple at this scale.I\'m trying to complete armies at a decent pace and I\'m not looking to create super mini\'s,but your right a little more work on the base would look better.
They are Little Big Men,but I had to re paint most of it as edges show on the pennants and the shield color fades a bit.

@I wanted a colorful Norman army instead of the normal toned down one.I might post in the gallery,but I thought this scale would only interest people here and sometimes I\'m asked why I post in 2 places.I still might if more folks think I should.

Sehr schöne Armee. Ich weiss das die vielen Wimpel nicht historisch korrekt sind, find aber auch ne \"Ritterarmee\" muss bunt sein!!

@Everyone
Thank you for the support.

@Razgor
Well,my Normans are not Italio Normans,but I can play them as such to take on your Byzintines.  :diablo:  

@Lt. Hazel
That\'s what I was thinking.

@Sven
Possibly,if I can just remember to bring them the next time we meet.
