Ion Age Retained Knights

Been a while and only a few spam casino comments to delete over all those months. Anyway, I painted something for myself at last so here it is. Three Alternative Armies Ion Age retained knights from their 28mm range.

Really enjoyed painting these and a great bit of old school goodness. I remember when these were first released back in the very early 90's. Liked them back then but never got any. Picked these and a bunch more up on Ebay a few years back and then of course discovered that Alternative were still around and that the range was still in production. Thankfully I still got a bargain so at least I didn't over pay for my Ebay finds.

I'd like to try and maintain focus on these for now. Got two more prepped and ready to start. If I can get some more done after that that would be fantastic but I am eyeing up other things in my lead pile so we'll see.

Ion Age Retained Knight Noble

Quick and lazy post here, mostly copy/pasted from my Facebook page.

Found this part finished and stuffed in a tray of models recently. It's an Alternative Armies/Ion Age Retained Knight Noble in 28mm. I started it perhaps a couple of years ago, wasn't entirely happy with it and just put it to one side. Decided it was time to give him a new lease of life and get it finished off. I repainted a few things and retouched some scratches and chips.This model is a bit bigger than the regular knights and a fair lump of metal in comparison to a space marine of pretty much the same era (yeah, I know MK7 marine armour was in by then).

 I remember these models first being released in the very early 90's when they were sold as Free Company Crusaders. Loved the look of the armour but never got around to buying any until I bagged a bunch on Ebay a few years back.

At some point I'd like to paint up a full squad of these but I've got plans to paint more fantasy stuff so that will have to wait.
