Thank you Von Trinkenessen, have copy of the blue flag. So wish the 'A' is of Altdorf could be accessed according to a posting in 2009 you could get copies of the Empire Flags from "White Dwarf" 146 and 147 there.

I might have those WD's in my possession. I'll check it out and then send you scans of the flags.

Xathrodox86. Yes please if you can find them. Sent you PM with my e-mail.

Need suggestion for the Captain of my Deadcember painting project.
Earlier this year I mocked up a Knight of the Order of the Sacred Scythe. [some else I have in mind for my "Fall of Altdorf."]
Will be small unit 5 figures only, with nice dragon banner. The Knights and horses will be in their best bib and tucker, as it is the "end of times".
Need suitable figure to command. Any suggestions.


Sorry about poor quality of photo. Flash and silver paint don't go together.

Better picture of Scared Scythe Knight. Thinking of changing helmet as well.
Still looking for suggestion as to a champion figure.


Thanks for the WD xathrodox.

The helmut is great, but I think you maybe right - perhaps not practical with a scythe.
Regarding a champion, surely that would just be built similar, but without a helmut - maybe use the plastic captain beard with eyepatch head?

surely if you've figured out how to wield a scythe in mounted combat, you are awesome enough to wield a scythe in mounted combat while wearing a giant horned helmet  :mrgreen:

(( Fidelis von Sigmaringen,

Were you thinking that the knight was waving his hands in the air, like he just didn't care?

Scrubber,

How did you get the oversized, super-horns on his helm?  Those are wicked awesome! ))

I was referring to a - small but perhaps telling - spelling error.

Ok point taken about the scythe, need to shorten the handle length. Also thinking about adding black/dark grey cloak.

Caroline. Helmet is from the Demi-griffon set, but you only get one in the box.

My sense is the length of the handle is fine.  The idea that he weilds it one way from the saddle, yet another from foot works for me.

Made up the two ordinary knight. The musician is going to have like a tuba made from chaos horn around his body, so can still use scythe and shield. Not made my mind up about standard yet. Should he have standard pole in left hand and scythe in right. Shield strapped to his back or just banner pole in right hand and shield in left. Champion may be the Elector Count of Hochland yet. Any thoughts.

I want to increase the size of some of my empire mounted knights and find myself short of some bits.
Need 10 swords in scabbard and 16 pennants. They need to be from the knightly order box.
Have money willing to pay.

I can have a look.
I may need 2 shields in return (specific knightly order design).
Let me check tonight.

Also, that Terrain looks like chocolate cake.

Ok, i have them.

If you are willing to do a bitz swap to australia, sounds good to me.

Its the shield from the knights box, the one with the cross, and the little skull in the top corner.
I only need 2.
If you have any of the knights helm with 'mohawk' style plumes, up to 6 of those would be welcome also.

If you can help with those, would be great. If not, then i can still send you what you need.

Hi Scrubber,

Sorry, time has been rare over the holidays.
Took some time today to catch up.

PM sent.

Oh, and I did get your previous message, so I have your address.
Will be sending tomorrow.

Sorry for the wait!

Hi scrubber, my bits arrived too. I was considering adding some extras, but time escaped me. But i have your details, so at some point you can expect an Australia surprise in the next few months. Just me know if you plan on moving!

You sure to have checked eBay.co.uk?

There are some Chinese shipping bases worldwide. If you can't find them on the UK site, try the US site, ebay.com.
