Hey guys,
this will be a progress log for my Middenland army.
Some of you may already know me, as I posted a similar log over at asrai.org, documenting my progress painting wood elves. For those interested, the log can be found here:

We are starting in september at 500 points, with a 500 point increment every 2 months. The objective is to help long time players get a second army painted, or help new people enter the hobby.
I decided on a Middenland color scheme with strong blue and yellowish white, complemented by bright purple. There is also a background story, that will guide my troop choices throughout the campaign.
Wilhelm’s TaleStanding atop a snowy hill, Wilfried was looking north, into the depths of Drakwald forest. A year has passed, since he last stood at this precious place..
He still clearly remembered his perilous journey through the wintry forest, walking along a crooked path that would take him straight to the top or Erlenberg. He recalled how eerie the hill was, covered in silent impenetrable mist. The smell of sulfur in the air. And his shock, when he saw scattered, burnt stones, where the cloister gate stood, just a few days ago. All too well did he remember the fear that gripped him, when he saw black stains of blood and pale, motionless bodies. All hope seemed lost, when he stumbled through empty corridors, smelling of burnt flesh, hearing nothing but his own footsteps.
He would never forget his surprise, when he entered the chapel. In the corner, just behind the altar, stood a man clad in plate armour, wielding a two handed warhammer, covered in drying blackened blood. What struck him most were the man’s eyes, burning with bright inner fire like molten metal. Thus he met the man, who would change Wilfrieds life. Ludwig Eberhart.
He briefly looked towards the ruined chapel wall. A year ago, he and Ludwig prayed to Sigmar here. They swore revenge and took the first steps of a long and perilous journey. Much has changed since then and they wandered wide and far before finally returning to Erlengerg. The ruins were already overgrown with tall grass, but today, they were no longer alone. Wilfried held his sword high and a hundred loyal men roared a thunderous cry of triumph. .My list for 500 points is as follows:
Ludwig Eberhart, Warrior Priest, GW, Armour of meteoric Iron
2x 5 Archers
12 Halberdiers, Std, Mus
15 Flagellants
Mortar
So far, only the archers are finished. I will be glad if you vote on Coolmini.
