Now, it looks good without, but if you should want a rougher texture to the stone, I've heard you can get that from pressing a real rock into the foam.

Turns out like this

I did do that on the front side (a little bit hard to see, because it's all black), but I plan to add more. Thanks for the tip anyway

A small update:

I'm still unsure what to do with the area above the machicolation.

The top level got a new floor and I'm working on a guardrail as well.

I have also added even more structure to the stonewalls, but this will only show, when I paint it.

The army is really impresive, clean painting and the castle is icing on the cake!

I think the 2nd variation is the best.

I finished this empire Hero today, who will be the Captain or 'Sigmarpriest' for my (Riccos Republican Guard) Spearmen unit. The conversion is based on a Lukas Braganza mini, which can be seen on page 1 of this thread.

ChumpChange · « **Reply #57 on:** October 30, 2010, 04:47:43 PM »

Oh yeah, it looks like Braganza (sp), the old metal unit champion arm for 6th edition handgunners, and a new greatsword head. It looks fantastic. The best part is that I own all these bits and can blatantly steal your design. Keep up the good work!

Geekmeister · « **Reply #58 on:** October 30, 2010, 04:51:08 PM »

Wow- it's not often you see a model which you can't tell if it's been converted or not but that's definitely one of them! I might also steal that idea.

King · « **Reply #59 on:** October 30, 2010, 05:35:10 PM »

Yep I second the previous posters in that:
1) The idea & concept is great (the painting too)
2) I am shamelessly stealing the idea as well (consider yourself robbed of your IP

)

Good overall looking,but imho the skin seems too flat and the metal paint seems a bit thick

I don't see those problems to be honest but thanks anyway. The paint is definitely not too thick.

I have finally decided how I wanted to front to look and here is the result:

This is an old "memorial medal/coin" from 1890(!) from some kind of exhibition, which shows the coat of arms of Emperor Franz Josef I. of Austria. I liked that CoA and so I had the idea to use it as decoration.

Delthos · « **Reply #65 on:** November 16, 2010, 11:24:41 PM »

That's a very cool use of a coin! My silly ass would have used a dremel to cut the coin down so I wouldn't have it to use again in the future! Way to go on not being like me.

Tiny · « **Reply #66 on:** November 17, 2010, 01:27:42 PM »

Great clean painting style. Those crossbowmen look ace. Shame we can't give them heavy armour and shields eh?

Bring back DOW!

As soon the gate is done it is time for a group picture.

Today I've got a 10 men unit of Knights to show, who are finally finished.

Knights Panther:

I have played around with Photoshop for a bit and this is the result - a 'tribute' to the Artwork of the Empire Armybooks:

One word: beautiful.

Zak · « **Reply #70 on:** November 21, 2010, 03:16:43 PM »

i agree with that one word!!!!

Silver Wolf · « **Reply #71 on:** November 21, 2010, 03:19:21 PM »

Nice job ! I really like the artwork...

Shadowlord · « **Reply #72 on:** November 21, 2010, 04:39:56 PM »

Lovely with the cloaks and top notch paintjob as well.

Silver Wolf · « **Reply #73 on:** November 21, 2010, 05:12:19 PM »

Oh I forgot to ask ... Which blue color have you used ?

General Tomerix Rotenkopf · « **Reply #74 on:** November 21, 2010, 06:23:01 PM »

Very good looking knights, and powerful too!
