First pics from my painting desk: Cardinals Fang, Ximinéz and Biggles - aka three warrior priests.

Hah, I didn't expect some kind of Spanish inquisition!

No one expects the Spanish Inquisition!

They should be, but were let down by slow painting.

Good start.

Don't know if it's the pics, but they could perhaps use some more shading.

somegeezer · « **Reply #7 on:** March 09, 2013, 03:01:20 PM »

Cheers

I think it's the pics. They were taken under my (rather strong) daylight lamp. It's something else I can work on ...

10 archers (the glue not quite dry under the static grass).

These are my favourite Citadel Empire minis I've painted so far (though it's pistoliers next and they're rather splendid, too).

DariusZero · « **Reply #9 on:** March 15, 2013, 06:43:32 AM »

Not bad.

GamesPoet · « **Reply #10 on:** May 16, 2013, 12:26:39 AM »

I'm liking the archers!

Cheers!

This plog has been a bit neglected as I've failed to finish a mini since March (real life, harumph).

Tonight I'll slop some matt varnish on the last of 5 pistoliers, marking 1000 points painted. Then I'll do a team photo to celebrate (and think about learning how to play again - it's been time).

After 2 months of real life doing what it does, a painted unit:

This takes me to 1000 points painted. I'll try to get a team photo (with my real camera) on the weekend.

Eltrummor · « **Reply #13 on:** May 19, 2013, 08:43:37 AM »

Wow! Excellent pistoliers.

somegeezer · « **Reply #14 on:** May 19, 2013, 12:23:10 PM »

The Pistoliers marked the completion of the first 1000 point block (there's a bit more than a thousand but a it's a bit character-heavy to fight with). So here's what I have so far ...

Pistoliers

Knights Panther + Grand Master

Fire and Metal* Wizards

Too many generals

3 silly and 1 sensible Warrior Priests

Artillery + Engineer

Team photo

Next up: 20 swordsmen, 10 halberdiers (get the unit up to 50), 3 demigryphs, Light Wizard and surprises for one of youse!

* this is a terrible metal-anorak pun for which I can only apologise.

Army looks impressive! I really like the priest models, what was the base for them?

Cheers The WPs are the Spanish Inquisition from Victoria Miniatures:

somegeezer · « **Reply #17 on:** June 05, 2013, 08:42:25 PM »

First 10 swordsmen (just 40 to go).

somegeezer · « **Reply #18 on:** August 29, 2013, 07:15:15 PM »

I aten't dead, just busy (and painting things-other-than-Empire

).

I'm not sure it's worth the threadomancy but here's some more state troops ...

Next up it won't be state troops

Novogord · « **Reply #19 on:** August 30, 2013, 08:22:08 AM »

Looking good

Now only 30 to go

Syphon · « **Reply #20 on:** August 30, 2013, 09:15:19 AM »

Nice! Are you going for a particular province of the Empire or just for what looks good?

andremmuller · « **Reply #21 on:** August 30, 2013, 09:56:46 AM »

Very nice indeed!

Despite the Sigmarite shields (and planned handgunners

) they're Middenheim. I'll admit that this choice was based on they're being blue and white, like my football club. A happy coincidence is that I rather like the Middenheim fluff (i.e. what little I remember from the old days, have read in the army book and Hammers of Ulric).

I'll be adding some iconic Middenheim models - priests of Ulric and White Wolves - as time permits.
