Title: The "Rest" of Averland **Arise from the DEAD! AGAIN! August 28**
Post by: Blue in vt on 14 November 2013, 09:05:25 PM: Howdy all,

I've been slowly plugging away on a commission for thebinman some of which you saw way back in the Last LPL (the Best of Averland). I've finally gotten around to attcking the rest of the warband that he sent me and here are some WIP photos...you can find more on my blog (http://bluesmarauders.blogspot.com/) and I will update here as I proceed. This group contains a TON of classic citadel sculpts from the early Empire ranges.

Post by: Franz_Josef on 08 December 2013, 08:27:07 PM: Love how you "integrate" the force with the non-human citizens (dwarf and halfling). After all, they are also part of the Empire.

Post by: Blue in vt on 29 January 2014, 08:04:44 PM: Well....Time to raise this thread from the dead! I have been slowly making progress on these and wanted to share the latest WIP picture. At this point mostly just niggling details and bases to finish off. A slightly more detailed accounting on my blog.

Post by: Blue in vt on 28 August 2014, 03:07:22 PM: I'm a bit embarrassed at how long it has taken me to complete this group but I finally have them boxed up and ready to return to thebinman. They were a lot of fun to paint...so many classic models.

Here is a group pic....detail shots on my Blog: http://bluesmarauders.blogspot.com/2014/08/the-rest-of-averlandpart-vithe.html

Cheers for now!
