Many thanks chaps  :)

They can be a bit of a chore to do sometimes but generally they’re enjoyable.
cheers

Cracking job, and always good to see imperial ogres.

Also, the small round shields for the swordsmen seems to fit them really well.

They seem more practical to me for ‘renaissance’ sword fighting.

These are most excellent Jim. Very nostalgic!  :-*

Kudos to you as these units are all well done.  I don't have the patience anymore for units.

I love those troops there - some excellent conversion work on them.
My armies:
- Henry VIII's army (WIP) 15mm
- Ancient Germans (28mm)
- Ancient Belgae (Gauls with German allies) (28mm)
- Massilian Greeks (Greeks and Gallic mercenaries/subjects) (28mm)
- A few EI Romans (28mm)
- Handful of WW2 British (15mm)
- A load of old 1993-1999ish Warhammer Orcs and Goblins

Late to the party, but let me join the chorus and say that this is a pretty awesome project. The collection of miniatures from different ranges really works well with a coherent paintjob.

I especially love the use of the Green Knight's horse here. And what is the black symbol on the blue and yellow flag? Is it a tower perhaps? Hard to see from the presented angle.

And can't wait to see what you'll be doing with some 40K minis :)
Miniatures you say? Well I too, like to live dangerously...

Sorry mate, totally missed this. It's supposed to be a powder flask, the intention is to have an object representing the unit on the respective flags (I couldn't be bothered to paint crossed muskets  lol )

I managed to finish off a languishing dread and a another unit for my Rogue Trader Imps. I'll probably do a command squad a la the 40k Compendium but I'll be using them for Xenos Rampant.

On the dread I added a new plastic las-cannon baffle to the front of the original metal one just to make it look a bit more convincing.

Kind of forgot I even posed that question, but yeah; now that you explan it, I can actually see it :D

And heck yeah, another RT Dread!  :-* Is the reddish brown a camouflage pattern, or is it more weathering?

Love the old-school grey scheme on all the units.

I now regret ever trading away that old egg-sentinel I had lying around for ages; yours looks ace next to the other units.

The Rhino is also really cool; straight from the painting suggestions leaflet that came in that old Rhine boxed set. I did my first one in the Tundra scheme on that very same sheet. That illustration was later also put in the Compendium I believe.

Proper RT stuff. And with Grimdark Future and Xenos Rampant, these forces can now actually be played again too! 8)
