Engineer Army in the works (Pics...)
« on: March 11, 2004, 02:08:45 PM »
As some may know I'm working on an engineer themed empire army. I've posted the army list in THIS thread.

Now I want to show the units I've finished so far. I plan to finish the army in the next two month, and I will post any progresses in this thread.

Any help or advises for the army development, the painting or conversions are very welcome.

I hope, the pics work here...

The army so far...


A unit of handgunners...


Three engineers with HLLRs and the champion of the heavy cavallry with experimental weapons (in this case that means a mini battle platform with halflings armed with spring-loaded spears - :shock: )


The war-balloon of course...


My unfinished "Von Zeppel" stank...

Simply stunning painting and converting Vimes!
Love the spring loaded spears!
Some of the best and most interesting conversions I have seen for an Empire army!

Cheers,

Dante

Beautiful paintings, just one question, should the ST not be the same colors as the rest of the units?

Very, very cool. I once again say that anyone who docks you points on composition after seeing an army like that is completely braindead.

You're a freakin' lunatic, You know that? :shock:

I wouldn't even have the patience for such conversions, and even less for such a high painting level... :D

Thanks a lot, folks!

@Winger
As Kaz allready said, the stank isn't finished yet, but it is the next one on my list...

@Hagen
I had to use the last free week, and my girlfriend crams for her exam (she currently hasn't much time for me), so...  :cry:

I've done the only thing a honest man could do with his spare time - I painted little toy soldiers!   :D


The exam ends in two weeks, so I think (no, I hope :twisted: ) it'll slow down my progress...

@all
Thanks again for your comments!

Yep, I'm still using it too (although thinking of updating it with the new model as it has far more detail!).

I don't think anyone said it was worse, it's just different.
I think it makes people a little nostalgic to see the older models again! :D

............ dont have any words for these conversions and the painting skills.

but wouldnt that horse fall backwards?

if that was me i would have been lying on the floor half of the time :)

but just some wonderful ideas in there.

someone asked if the Stank should have the same colour as the rest of the army: i think it isnt finished ;)

Heiglot- *hurries off to do some converting and finishing of those banners*
