(Sort of battle report p.9) Warhammer assorted-ness.
« on: July 12, 2020, 10:32:47 PM »
The first 3 paint jobs for my repaint and finally get on with it Empire project.

First off someone to lead a unit of greatswords, I've gone for the Carroburg scheme and don't actually own any greatswords, but nevermind.
Next is a warrior priest, on the grounds I like warrior priests, even though I'm building the army for 5th edition and they just count as heroes. Plus I've been reminded I hate painting eyes.
And finally, a battlestandard bearer from Reikland, (or possibly Pottsylvania.) done as a test for a way of painting the armour.

Thankyou, I did these around a training course, so I'm hoping to get started on some of the units now.

Cheers peoples.

Rather than painting like I was supposed to, got a bit distracted and bodged together a detachment of greatswords. Swords mostly from the freeguild sprues with the bodies from the original state troopers sprues, very obviously not meant to go together and needed some filling to fit. Heads are a mix of both.

After a few distractions I've finally got the Carroburg greatswords detachment finished.

Now just a few dozens more things to paint and I'll have an army.

Yup, have a feeling I'm going to build a block of halberdiers this afternoon while watching the cricket.

With starting a new job and then hurting my back 3 days later my progress may have gone negative speed.
Recently I've managed to get some more painting done, the Knights of the white wolf are the first of my knightly units to be worked on. I'm not adding the wolf cloaks as I don't like how they look, there's also a test horsey to decide if the idea I had works or not, (it's very shiney) I'm undecided how the banner is going to be finished but it won't be left as it is.

The horse armor looks a bit like the dragon armor worn by Gary Oldman in Coppola's Dracula!

Really nice seeing another classic square bases project!

Horses armour works really well  :)

How about a simple white hammer motif for the banner?

Cheers chaps, just have to pain the other seven horses now.

Maybe, I'm planning to look through my old transfer sheets and see if anything suitable jumps out.
