By Fire and Sword project - Holy Moly Empire!

[mweaver]

I wanna see the Holy Moly Empire vs. the Super Dungeon Explore thingies!

Ha I'm just working on a SDX project myself - but the first set.

@mweaver: Nevar!

@mellis1644: Yeah, those are really cool minis to work with indeed.


Boom, I'm back!

Well, this project went a bit differently to how I'd planned it. The thing is that I decided to base all the units at once after painting and I didn't really post any updates because the units just don't look very pretty unbased. :p They're also mostly cavalry, and I put the riders on the mounts after basing. Basically what you missed is pictures of brown horses standing on brown earth. So nothing exciting.

Anyway, I'm all done now. Here are some impressions and I hope that I get proper full army shots online soon.







Hope you like them so far!

One of the best 15mm armies I've ever seen! Good job mate

[Anderson Collection]

Great work well done.

[mellis1644]

Really great work.

[Codsticker]

Awesome work as usual Sigur.

Well done!  I witnessed a demo of the Fire and Sword rules at Historicon 2+ years ago and they looked good but I didn't want to shell out the money for the rule book.

@chema1986: Thanks very much!

@Anderson Collection: Many thanks!

@mellis1644: Cheers!

@Codsticker: Thanks, Sir.

@vcina: You know, this is exactly the reason why I didn't go for it. If it was a softback black and white affair with less artwork I'd gone for it as well, if only to look at what bits I could grab and use for other rules sets. The huge tome put me off a little to be honest. I had a test game at a friend's last summer, and the rules seemed to be serviceable, but the fact that the books are pretty expensive and the fact that it covers a time that's a bit after what I'm actually into (thirty years war) made me think twice.


Some more pictures!

light guns:


Old-style musketeers:


Some more Habsburg cavalry - mounted dragoons and unarmoured cuirassiers:




Hope you like them!

[mweaver]

I do indeed.  Very striking, esp. considering the scale.

@mweaver: Thanks very much!

Here's some more of the unarmoured cuirassiers you've seen in the photo above:



...and now for some odds and ends.


Peasants strewing caltrops. Very fun minis which I haven't seen done before:




...and of course the way all this insanity always ends. Casualties:




Hope you like the minis and I shall see you soon!

[GamesPoet]

A very good looking army going on here!

[DintheDin]

Striking units, absolutely gorgeous!
Especially the massed cavalry!
And the horses! I love the horses!

Have you looked at Totentanz Miniatures? http://totentanz-miniatures.com/product-category/guerra-30/

They are a Spanish company that does, amongst other things, TYW in 15mm, along with a very nice range of Ottomans.

[mweaver]

When you're right, you're right, DintheDin.  Those are gorgeously painted horses.
