Hello all, I'm back...  and have started a new Empire project. It's been now more then 1 1/2 years ago since my Hochland army was stolen/lost on my way home from Eurobash 2009. After that, I had a quite busy period: having moved from Rotterdam to Leyden, getting married. You know, the usual stuff that keeps you occupied.

However, now that my life has calmed down again I found new energy to start a new Empire army (my wife also pushes me  and she stared a Beastmen army (which I have to paint because she is visually impaired (I'll make a blog on that aswell))) so I thought I'd start a new blog here on my new army.

As the title of the topic already implies. It's a Averland army. I really loved my Hochland army but you can imagine that after more than 3000 points of green/red models, you kinda get bored with it. And as my armies are usually quite themed around the province (and Hochland being a poor province) I though I'd go for a rather rice province. Plus black and yellow just looks wicked 

Unfortunately, my models are no longer of the old style. I do have a huge Empire bitsbox which I can use but mostly it will be of the newer models combined with parts of the old style. Afterall, some "Warhammer history" in an army always looks nice.

But not to keep you waiting any longer. Here I will present my armylist. Pictures will follow soon, but I do not have anything painted yet (I do have some stuff assembled which I will show soonish.

Well what do you think?

Looking good. I'd bump the numbers up on those Swordsmen and Halberdiers a bit. Say 10 more halberdiers each and at least 10 more swordsmen in each unit. I look forward to seeing your Crusaders of the Suns Light knights, sounds very interesting.

Well done for making a new start! Good choice of province too.

It was such a shame that you lost the old army.

@SKS: Yes, I meant that 

Hey LochNess !


I am willing to donate 30 6th edition state troopers (NIB) to your army if you want them.


You know, for the little bit of history.


Just PM your adress.

Thanks Midaski Unfortunately I already had an appointment for that day (it's our national holiday the 30th of april)  However, next year I'll be there. If not, you can come and drag me to St Niklaas.

However, I can show you the beginnings of the display base. This base is for my usage in my displaycabinet where a part of the models will be shown. In the back, I'll make the outskits of an Empire settlement. Using foamboard a row of buildings will be created with in the middle a sort of citygate. But first I'll complete a unit of swordsmen to get used to painting again. More on that later

Thats a grand, impressive army!!! Start painting!
