More evildoers. This time they come from the steppes.
Marauder horsemen. This is a fine kit. If only they had kept the horses in scale, Empire Pistoliers suffer from the same malady. Not sure how that passed GW QC.
I like this guy’s pose in particular. He isn’t really plundering and killing just yet but, somehow poised to do so.
And here we have the marauders’ competition in the plundering and killing department. Another hobgoblin khan.
Kitbashed together largely from Empire Militia bits (the kit that keeps on giving).
And as proof that we are chipping away at Volganof, here is a bit of scenery. Walls and fences. We need something for all these knights to stumble over.
This was mostly an exercise in finding a good way to do the stonework around Volganof. Quite happy with it. Here is how I did it (on the off-chance you are wondering).
1) prime black (or paint black with cheap paint after priming white if you are complicated like me)
2) bleached bone 'dry' brush (not very dry actually, get a decent amount of paint on)
3) dull flesh tone 'dry' brush (like kislev flesh. this is the secret ingredient, I think)
4) agrax wash (thin. might get away without it which would cut down drastically on the drying time needed)
5) off-white dry brush (light, easy does it. I used pallid wych flesh)
(the columns and gravestones are just grey with a wash of nuln oil.)
The next update will be full-out wholesome Empire again. Knights Panther are parading around my paint desk and they are getting impatient.
