Actually they quite literally did roll off the paint tray at one stage, which led to many curses and frantic scrambling for the gesso to patch up the chipped bits in the undercoat, but that isn't what this post is meant to be about.
This is the last mounted Hearthguard unit from the Conquest Games plastic minis box. These guys aren't in chainmail and I've given them the round shields, so technically they are lighter than their compatriots, but in SAGA terms, they are riding horsies, so they are Hearthguard.

Backing them up is one of my favourite units:

These guys were on the painting tray with the Cossacks, and it has taken me almost a month to finish all of them, but I'm finally there. I'm expecting that the next figures on the tray, 16 Norman Spearmen and half a dozen Black Tree Designs Saxon civilians, will be finished in a couple of weeks or so.
