Marienburg vs. the Undeadish (update: undead & spooky stuff)

[von Lucky]

They've come out very nice. The colours work well together.

[LordOdo]

A half rainbow could work very well for the emblem me thinking

[beefcake]

Nice paint job.
Those privateer press minis look huge in comparison. Good choice making them a demon or some sort of avatar.

[DeafNala]

The Little Guys look TERRIFIC; their rich & flashy livery seems appropriate with all that expensive armor. BEAUTIFUL brushwork & basing finish the look perfectly. VERY WELL DONE!

[CarlLeyland]

Amazing work and really interesting to watch your army develop....some of these figures are new to me. Thanks for sharing this.

[Dr. Moebius]

I wish I could keep up a project like this for that long time.

Great ideas, great paint jobs and great choice of miniatures!

My honest respect!

[Major_Gilbear]

I'm surprised that you ditched the green/earth tones on the halflings, but I confess that I generally prefer more striking schemes for fantasy regiments/armies.

Either way, very well done - I think they look excellent! If you're still after a device for them, I think a gold/yellow key would look pretty striking against those colours.

[von Lucky]

Agree - something yellow/gold. Maybe a knife and/or fork?

[von Lucky]

Or a spoon!

[Major_Gilbear]

A crossed key and spoon? 

[Thew1]

   Those halflings are superb zero23. Excellent models expertly painted. Some other ideas for blazons/emblems if you are looking at a militia or watchmen background for your hobbitry in arms could be a tower gatehouse, a portcullis (and these could be combined with crossed keys to Labour the point if reqd). Alternatively, Ripon where I grew up in North Yorkshire uses the emblem of a horn to symbolise the nightwatchman who still sets the night watch to this day by blowing a horn at the four corners of the market square.

Lovely stuff, keep it coming 

[ZeroTwentythree]

A lot of good ideas, thank you all for the input. I may end up using several of them in the future, as I have more hobbit (and human) units planned.

I like the horn/night watch. I don't think I will be used on this group, but I'm going to keep it in mind for another in the future. Keys & towers are good. I'm trying to stay away from some of the Warhammer cliches of spoons & chicken (or other fowl) legs.

I'm also thinking about using a rabbit or hare as another idea.

I think the yellow/gold/or at the bottom of the banner looks pretty good with the other colors, so I will probably be using that as a third color. Starting to seem a bit royal!

Background/concept for the hobbit units is still solidifying in my mind, so nothing's quite set in stone yet.

[ZeroTwentythree]

As far as rabbits, the first thing that came to mind was something like...




or




But I also like something like this, minus the lion...

[LeadAsbestos]

I'm a sucker for all things Watership Down, so you know what gets my vote!

[DeafNala]

I do like the Bunny with sword & shield also...maybe you could substitute a War Pig for the Lion. For an attitude you could use Gujosec's Snake-Hare:



...cool although creepy, eh?!
