Knights of Avalon

 

Arthurian figures by Whittlesey
 

      

 

 

King Arthur is the first figure in what I hope is a range of named knights of the Round Table by Keith Over.

 

I like the look of Arthur in his Romano-British armour. Complete with dragon on his helm. Perhaps if Arthur existed this is how he would have been dressed.

The nice touch to this figure and others which will follow is the Heraldry.

Yes you can argue that Heraldry did not exist in the 500s, but nor did Sir Lancelot, the Round Table and all those wonderful stories. Taking Arthurian Heraldry which was created in the thirteen century and placing it on these figures will give the series a unique magical feel just like the Knights of the Round Table.

Keith's range of English and French Knights at the battle of Poitiers may be found  Here 

and at the battle of  Crecy  may be found Here
