About 5-6k

Without Steam Tank or Arch Lector on Altar to bump it up.

Basically, while I like uniformity in some armies, my Empire army I see being made up of all sorts of different units, raised from local towns & militias and paid for by the local lord who pays for his own colours in the uniforms.

Threadomancy time, with some more recent additions...

My army went to war recently in an actual tournment (and got spanked, stupid evil dice)

Those greatswords are all kinds of colors.

yes... they look great. As a sort of a warband, a nice concept

Uryens de Crux · « **Reply #79 on:** April 18, 2011, 10:21:09 PM »

They are the personal bodyguard of the Baron of Wursterburg and as an elite regiment arent subject to the sumptuary laws of lesser soldiers...

Actually, there is a slight theme of Azure and Murray

Like it

What is their affiliation with the Knights of the Blazing Sun? (Banner)

Also, you might want to spent some time to update some of your bases so that the whole army has one standard look. That way it will look less messy with the abundance of colors on your minis.

Nice work though!! (where is the battle report?

)

Fixed it again

There are yellow/golden suns on a black background!!

Padre · « **Reply #84 on:** April 19, 2011, 11:51:01 AM »

Uryens has Solland liveried troops (Halberdiers, yellow and white) and played a massive part of the 'Solland Effort' story-campaign a coupla years ago. I got used to suns on his banners being the Solland sun. So I am merely guessing with his Solland affiliatiosn that he might be counting the banner as Solland linked.

Mind you, he could just answer here himself!

Uryens de Crux · « **Reply #85 on:** April 19, 2011, 12:16:39 PM »

The Sun in His Splendour is a common heraldic device, not restricted to just the KotBS (blazing squad knights lol). In fact the Sun in Splendour features on both Averland and Wissenland emblems representing the fact they stole bits of Solland - Solland itself noted as having the Sun featuring prominently on it's colours.

So, in short, it's the Battle Standard of Solland (or at least as I see it)

Sun in Splendour
Golden crowns
Knight slaying evil monster
Black field

Solland, not The blazing squad.

StealthKnightSteg · « **Reply #86 on:** April 19, 2011, 12:43:25 PM »

thanks for your detail description!!

I was not familiar with the solland heraldry but I am with the blazing squad (

)

Note to self: when creating my squad banner try to avoid likelyness with solland banner of uryens

Uryens de Crux · « **Reply #87 on:** April 19, 2011, 12:49:40 PM »

I think there will always be a chance of similarity, given the main themes. But if you want my suggestion while Solland has suns and crowns, maybe KotBS would have suns and twin tailed comets/hammers/crosses?

Wouldn't they have a red field too? Or is that the Fiery Heart?

Uryens de Crux · « **Reply #88 on:** May 02, 2011, 02:58:09 PM »

Well, the Free Company has finally invested in a War Altar/Carroccio, base needs finishing and there some minor details need finishing off too but its kinda ready to roll...

GamesPoet · « **Reply #89 on:** May 02, 2011, 03:06:42 PM »

The overall sense of it seems imposing and grim, suitably so for WFB.

Is that suppose to be a block of marble on the back?

Uryens de Crux · « **Reply #90 on:** May 02, 2011, 03:15:46 PM »

Never mind supposed to be...it actually is a block of marble...

Zoring · « **Reply #91 on:** May 02, 2011, 03:21:27 PM »

Haha, neat, bet that's a heavy War Alter, although i think the poor four guys pulling it are going to struggle!

Uryens de Crux · « **Reply #92 on:** May 02, 2011, 03:25:04 PM »

They are filled with the power of Sigmar, they can do anything...then die. But its ok, plenty more zealots where they came from.

Immovable Object · « **Reply #93 on:** May 02, 2011, 04:48:14 PM »

The fact that you've made this using an actual block of marble makes this the best model ever made.

Padre · « **Reply #94 on:** May 03, 2011, 03:32:38 PM »

I love it. We have to have my carroccio go head to head with your war wagon, though a marble block gives yours an unfair advantage in a head on collision!

Uryens de Crux · « **Reply #95 on:** May 14, 2011, 02:36:35 PM »

Finally a unit of ogres

Mechanical Monkey · « **Reply #96 on:** May 14, 2011, 02:48:42 PM »

Nice ogres

I've been trying to get that back right one for a while but just keep getting beaten on ebay.

Are you going to unit filler them ?

Padre · « **Reply #97 on:** May 14, 2011, 07:08:38 PM »

They're gorgeous. I fancy them.

So what? Does that make me a bad person?

Uryens de Crux · « **Reply #98 on:** May 14, 2011, 07:49:09 PM »

No it doesn't but I'd be upset if I was your Mrs...

GamesPoet · « **Reply #99 on:** May 16, 2011, 04:13:51 PM »

Like those models! Love how the front middle one has the colors of Solland. Well done!

Back in the early 80's I picked me up the one on the front left, along with one I don't see in the mix there. Didn't paint them then, got them base coated now, but still deciding how I want to paint them.
