The Empire's Renaissance - Update: Halberdiers, Halflings

[Elbows]

Superb.  Nothing like a big block of halberdiers to get ya going.

[Frugalmax]

They look great!

[Lost Egg]

They look grand and I love the idea for the slogan and flag.

@Elbows: Indeed! Well, mainly the impetus to do them was that I got them. Despite of some fanciness here and there I still managed not to spend a lot of money on this army so far, kinda sticking to the idea of "painting what I got". Splitting the unit up was no option, because I knew I'd never paint the rest, and I kinda pride myself in being able to paint large batches of figures at once. And there's just nothing better than a large unit of infantry, with pole arms, right? Probably the largest unit in this army.

@Frugalmax: Cheers! Yeah, I agonized for what felt like ages to decide which colour scheme to go with, but in the end I just went with Ostland again, simply because it's such a backbone unit and due to its size would look weird if this mostly-Ostland army had a blob of an entirely differently-coloured dudes in there.

@Lost Egg: Cheers! Yeah, using that flag design isn't the most inventive idea, but I made it look a bit fancy, and it looks nice. The idea with the slogan hit me as I was cobbling the flag together on the computer (well, just mirroring it really).


So now that this is done, I guess the next point on the to-do list would be to go back to the halfling rooster riders and finish those. Maybe I can get some work done on them this weekend.

@white knight: Cool, thanks for all the info! I made sure to pass it on, because I find that sorta stuff interesting. Do you happen to have photos of the imperial elves?

I do here:

@white knight: There may have been a mishap with what's to come after the colon; at least I don't see anything there.

Right, the halflings are table-ready. Last update on them has been three weeks ago, so about bloody time, I say!








Loads more stuff COULD be done, but oh well. At some point they gotta be done, right. Hope you like them!

[LouieN]

Really amazing and very unique. 

Don't cluck with these halflings. 

[Lord of Moria]

Terrific work! They look stunning. Cheers

[Frugalmax]

I hear "Ride of the Valkyries" when I look at these guys. Great work!

Edit: I just saw that Rick posted the same comment on a different thread that is actually valkyrie themed. I must have read that the other day and kept it in my subconscious... or the idea of little people riding giant chickens just necessitates a dramatic soundtrack.

[Battle Brush Sigur]

@LouieN: Thanks very much! Very happy with how these units turned out.

@Lord of Moria: Thank you!

@Frugalmax: Cheers! Ride of the Valkyries fits so many impressive sights, including chicken cavalry!



Well, let's brace for the big maintenance, right? I shall see you on the other side, gentlefolk. Up the LAF!
