The Black Order - All Things End

[Kitsune]

Lovely. Understated, too, which makes things really meet the aesthetic

Lovely job on the herald - apologies if you’ve answered it elsewhere, but where are your standards from? Can recognise most pieces but not the banners...or are they scratchbuilt?

 

[Knight-Captain Tyr]

Thanks very much all. Really appreciate the kind words! Very motivating

Good question - from memory they're all Fireforge. Selianin's banner is actually a Fireforge infantry pike with the banner from Fireforge's Living Dead Knights mounted sideways (or upside down depending on your point of view). Seems to have worked OK.

This is truly a great thread to follow, the models and story are  very inspirational. Seeing the name Cimbri surfacing was fun,, as I spend many summers in the the real life village, and grew to adulthood in its harbour.
Spending the autumn storms in that town, I can really get the feel of the inspiration of your army. Keep up the work you do.

Thanks! Yes I wondered if anyone would get the reference I really like that it's apparent. Cheers for the kind words!

Managed to get a mounted knight painted up tonight - probably the one I'm least pleased with pose-wise, but hopefully the rest will be more pleasing:

Love the shield!!

[Gibby]

Great model and excellent painting. The horses from that set look suitably chunky!

They look great

Hot on Ruric's heels, here's the completed unit!

Those are absolutely superb pieces of work!!

[TheCaptain]

Very cool.

[Ogrob]

They look great! Love the weathering on the shields.

Hot on the heels of the cavalry, I finally found a ballista I like - from Zombicide: Black Plague. Checked out other manufacturers but they mostly lacked the size and weight I wanted my siege artillery to have. After playing For Honor and seeing its super-sized siege artillery, I wanted something that fit a similar aesthetic - big and brutal.

Oh yes, and I made a unit card for Kings of War that a friend was kind enough to turn into a laminated final product. I've blurred out most of the essential rules to keep it board friendly:

[Gunner Dunbar]

Man, I love this project.

[Swordisdrawn]

Brilliant work

[FreakyFenton]

The man about to release the bolt looks awesome! 

[Ogrob]

Love it! It's not easy finding nice siege of the non-black powder variety-
