http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/446632.page

first is my captain, cousin of Wolfram Hertwig; Rudiger Von Meinstadt Baronschwartzher (the red baron!)
he is made out of spare bits and green stuff.

here he is with my RUBBISH knights(they keep dying). they have now been painted red like Baron's horse barding

great cannon

master engineer

greatswords

Ulric warrior priest (teutogen guard)

he was also my first decent attempt at non metallic silver and gold

still very WIP hangunners

59 halberds

with bsb

free company

scratch built steam tank

I know that the picture quality is poor, and i have a shaky hand, so i will try and get better ones later on.
please comment and criticise!

I see real promise here. The first thing that jumps out at me as needing improvement is finishing your bases/movement trays. that will raise the overall quality of your models immeasurably.

hope to see more soon !

sorry for triple posting
this is my ulric version of luthor huss, luThor huss

he has a scarred face, because there was a bionic eye on one side, and when it was removed, it looked like he had a scarred-burnt face. I know that he sound have a hammer, but I don't have the parts for one, so he has a sword instead

thanks

I just got the new book today, and on a completely different subject, where in the empire is Bogenhafen?

b0007452 · « **Reply #10 on:** April 14, 2012, 06:54:43 PM »

Bogenhafen is a wealthy market town in Reikland. On the edge of the Reikwald Forest, it's fairly central as far as Reikland goes

The town is dominated by the rich local merchants and the twon colours are white and purple, so I guess they're pretty ostentatious.

A good place to look for into is the early 90's Enemy Within books - Shadows Over Bogenhafen

Must be online somewhere, all my Empire fluff is based on Bogenhafen and this site itself has some interesting info. Tiny's blog has some pretty sick looking models as well.

theforgefather · « **Reply #11 on:** April 14, 2012, 08:54:46 PM »

actually, I have decided that bogenhafen dosen't really fit in with the background of my army. pity though, its a nice looking theme(even if it looks just like ostermark!)

Darknight · « **Reply #12 on:** April 15, 2012, 11:56:17 AM »

Make up your own province or town or whatever; paint it however you like.

theforgefather · « **Reply #13 on:** April 15, 2012, 12:14:32 PM »

i have, but i need to write it up properley.
basically, they are a select few soldiers from ostermark, who work on the border of kislev-ostermark helping to prevent intruders.
they are neglected from the Empire most of the time, but occasionally get some reinforcements

theforgefather · « **Reply #14 on:** May 04, 2012, 09:31:31 PM »

Hehehe

Reminds me of this...

I have painted a whole load more of halberds, but they are at the bottom of my box!!

GRRR!!!

I'll post them later on.

This is mainly also to raise money for a chaos dwarf army using the LoA list

Good luck on selling them. Mantic also have nice selection of Chaos dwarfs, albeit not so finely sculpted as the Forge world ones.

Ah, but I only ever play in GW, and only clubs will accept non GW stuff...

I play with non gw figs in a GW. They normally don't say anything if your just playing a friend but if you are doing a tournement or any of their events or just stop by for a pick up game with a random person they normally say not to use them.

theforgefather · « **Reply #24 on:** June 20, 2012, 06:33:32 AM »

Well, your GW is much less strict about that then...

They do say it has to have at least 50% GW stuff on it though...
