Title: Show us your hero: army general, hero, a special character
Post by: DariusZero on March 17, 2013, 04:17:12 PM: And because any hero can be the army general, you can show not just the current general but also any other hero/champion, that might suit that role, even if he/she doesn't right now. Like grandmaster, archlector, grand teogonist, captain, elector count, Karl Franz and other special characters, especially those.

In short any (painted) hero that is not covered by other show us threads.

Post by: Darknight on March 17, 2013, 08:38:46 PM: I have posted this elsewhere, but I am unjustifiably proud of it (he did come second in one of the monthly competitions, I think - he certainly placed) so here it is again. Your fault, Darius (as Alexander was wont to say . . . )

Here is my Templar Grand Master - Count Vladimir Hunyadi of Sylvania-in-Stirland, member of the Order of the Dragon by birth and now First Arch-Warpriest and Templar Grand Master of the Order of the Eightfold Cross of Melite, Champion of Myrmidia, Beloved of the Goddess and First Son of the Maiden.

For some odd reason I always this Mordheim Captain for my general.

I guess its because he is not too fancy looking.
Title: Re: Show us your general
Post by: DariusZero on March 17, 2013, 10:35:51 PM: @Darknight: One of the best looking generals and my favorite conversion of that mini.
@Battlekruse: Your general is showing some character. No wonder he's in command.

And here's mine , Grandmaster of The Knights of the blazing sun, the old metal fig, that I finally painted not so far back - after it had been laying in the closet for some years.
This is a new pic, that I took with my new photo camera, so the details should be better viewed than in the old pic.

Post by: Alleton on March 18, 2013, 01:24:28 AM: It's painted, though the base needs finishing in this pic. (It has been done in a basic way.) I am considering doing a more elaborate caparison on the horse, and maybe adding a cape on the general, but Haven't quite made the decision yet.

My General; Justius De'parque.

Title: Re: Show us your general
Post by: Lion of Flanders on September 19, 2013, 03:17:27 PM: Thanks! It's mostly a stock figure who's name escapes me. I added the Minotaur head to his cloack to make it the cloak of Anraheir and enhanced his hair as you have to have wild hair if you want to join my Cult of Ulrich army. The army's sigil is the white wolf on a red/black background.

Ulli and Marquand I think - the other guy had puffy sleeves and a rapier.

Yep, that's the guy! And the rapier dude became the general of my Averland Army and my homage to the real "Lion of Flanders", Johan Museeuw:

Post by: cjp on February 02, 2014, 05:26:55 AM: I originally entered this guy in the witch hunter comp last year (or 2012? i forget). Anyway, I specifically refrained from making him as over the top as many witchhunters typically are, so he could see double duty as a hero/captain too. Could easily see him joining a unit of pistoliers or something. :)

Not sure if he's popped in any of the modern Empire fluff but he's certainly mentioned in the older stuff, specifically the Warhammer Fantasy Role Play Guide to Middenheim.

I can just see this guy as Karl Franz on foot(maybe houserule the shield?) leading a 30+ unit of Greatswords; or you could houserule Greatswords to have hand weapons and shields instead and use the old Foot Reiksguard figures?

That is a conversion from the inquisitor with inferno pistol and power sword. Basically just requires a lot of cutting and scraping with an Xacto knife.

Post by: Noble Korhedron on June 26, 2015, 11:21:40 AM: Reiksguard 1485: Interesting pseudo-Scotch knight; also, in the picture of the Wizards, does the model with the feathered staff actually have one, or is he converted?
Title: Re: Show us your hero: army general, hero, a special character
Post by: Reiksguard 1485 on June 26, 2015, 06:57:05 PM: Thanks Noble Korhedron. The kilted hero was converted to be a knight of Albion who settled in the Empire after the Albion campaign.

In answer to your question, yes the shadow wizard does have the winged staff. He was just painted straight from the pack.

:biggriin:

So, the first guy is an ordinary GW Empire Captain.
I loved the style of this miniature so much that I had to buy as soon as it was released.

I got this second guy as a surprise when I was buying a bunch of used random miniatures. He was in a pretty bad shape, so I decided to fix him.

They both still need some finishing touches. I was thinking of trying out wet blending on those capes.
