Title: Pfeildorfers - an Empire OOP army
Post by: Jaeckel on February 28, 2018, 08:49:30 PM
Hi folks. Here is a project I started two years ago. The initial intent was to build an army based on Marauder Miniatures only. But as time goes by, I include more and more Citadel models designed by Aly (and sometimes Trish) Morrison.

For the background, I use the sourcebook written by Mad Alfred (http://www.madalfred.com/) for WFRP, where Pfeildorf is the former capital of the Sudenland, and now a Free City.

My first completed regiment is a band of flagellants, or two bands of 8 if you follow the 3rd edition Warhammer armies book.

The second regiment I consider achieved is the militia raised by the most important guilds of the city: cobblers, shearers, tailors and tanners.

The City Watch is not totally finished: I plan to extend it to 32 models, just like the militia (each flag corresponds to a district of Pfeildorf):

Same thing with the mercenary swordsmen. Still an on-going project:

And finally a few shooters:

That's it for the moment :)

Well, thank you all! Below some details on the militia and the guild masters of Pfeildorf. You may recognize citizen from the Marauder Miniatures range, a Talisman merchant and old Citadel villagers and Dogs of War. The shield bearers are slightly converted Marauder Miniatures halflings.

Yup. In particular the ugly wizards (or Magic Users) that should have been released by Marauder Miniatures. I have already one painted (the one holding a cup), I still have to find ideas for the other ones!

Fantastic painting! These are some of the best looking Empire units I have ever seen (and I'm not even that fond of many of these old models).

I'm curious - how long does it take you to paint 1 miniature? And have you written any painting guides/tutorials by any chance?

Thank you for sharing!  :::cheers:::
Title: Re: Pfeildorfers - an Empire OOP army
Post by: Jaeckel on March 03, 2018, 03:49:06 PM
I think I spend a few hours on each model, maybe 4 for a simple one. I wrote a lot of tutorials with my friend Haekel on this website: http://haekel.free.fr/ (http://haekel.free.fr/). But it takes a lot of time, and I gave up when I started my first army of dwarfs (https://jaeckelalone.blogspot.fr/2015/12/2000-pts-painting-odyssey.html).

I'm not normally a big fan of the Marauder sculpts, too far before my time for nostalgia, but then I'd never seen them painted like this before. Your painting style is just perfect for these, making the odd and sometimes slightly comical proportions seem intentional, like the lovely illustrations on the covers of the older Discworld novels. Plus I love that you put so much thought into the backstory of the units, the guild militia is amazing.

Truly special.

Thanks again. Last details on the (almost) completed units: the City Watch (actually the Guild of Lamplighters and Watchmen). So far, the regiment gathers elements from two separate districts: Mórrsfeld and Söllhafen. Mórrsfeld is the district where the prison of St Quintus stands: excellent opportunity to paint an executioner (the ogre), the warden (the guy holding keys), a jailer and the chief interrogator, plus a few guards.

As you can see below, I've changed my mind with the standard bearer: on the left, the initial one (painted before the completion of the second district), on the right, the final one (painted with the same colors as Söllhafen's standard):

Unreleased marauder minis ! With slottas removed
Well, I've succeeded in keeping the slotta for the legionary, but unfortunately not for the crossbowman. As I do not plan to sell them, I don't think it's a big deal in the end :p

Bought them on eBay two years ago I believe. From a guy who also sold the ultra rare Nuln spearman and the Guard Captain... I still have two unreleased Marauder models to paint.

Amazing stuff, i just cant believe you cut the slotta TAB's off the unreleased Marauder models! HAHA

In 50 years time, they might be the only surviving models of their type.

You will not be able to proove authenticity.

I thought I was Oldhammerer by adding some 3th edition miniatures to my Empire army, but this left me speechless! I think you own many models I'd never seen painted, truly essence of Oldhammer with such cool unreleased models and top painting! Keep it working we want to look through more  :happy:

Also, welcome to the B&P  :::cheers:::

This army is just incredible. It is insane how much better the old sculpts look without RED! everything and goblin green bases. Of course it helps that you are a master painter too. The Reiksguard look really beefy, not all of them are reiksguard sculps? Or are they even older generation foot reiksguard than the last ones?

The front rank guy on the left is one of the MM60/61 Fighters, with a plume swap if I remember correctly - but there are some clever weapon swaps of the two Reiksguard releases and again I think some of the plumes have been 'standardised'. 
Great unit.   :eusa_clap:

What I didn't see in the piecemeal progress was how unified your colour scheme is. The hues vary a lot, but the minis blend together superbly. Care to write a word about how you plan & achieve this, if you haven't already?

Also the bases are great. That mossy green - it's painted mostly directly on the base, or is there some scatter and grass there?

My army is currently progressing at a very slow pace... Blame the cavalry, it takes a lot of time to get decent results on horses...

OK, this is the result of the last two months: Grand Baroness Etelka Toppenheimer, riding a unicorn, and Commander Baron Ulrich von Burnau, on a more ordinary mount.

(https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-xEFDs4HIX0s/XKBw8U9u8KI/AAAAAAAAFdM/tKYOvsSMqScNdKcAlPzLZK-0IzdAR_-BwCLcBGAs/s1600/session3.JPG)

The Baroness is a mix of several models: torso from Mordheim Sisters of Sigmar's Matriarch, legs, lance and shield from the Empire General plastic sprue, unicorn from the MM83 High elf mage, and throne from the MB15 Imperial Hero riding a Pegasus.

Before:

and after:

As for the Commander, the preparation was limited to the sculpting of a piece of armour to make the junction between the torso from the Imperial Hero MB15 and the legs of a MM66 Mounted Reiksguard.

Not being active as a user, I enjoyed your marvelous models and painting skills so much that I simply had to post about it! Thanks for sharing your work!

It's the best painted Empire work ever seen ,

But then you cut the slotta TABS off some of the rarest minis ever on earth LOL

You have the Marauder fighter sculpts , never released, only a couple in existence, even Aly and Trish Morrison dont have them LOL

and you cut the TABS off  :-P :biggriin:

I did the same with my wood elf army, cut off all TABS and mounted direct onto Scibor Temple Ruin Resin bases, but then i realised that you can use a very small drill , and make a cut into the bases and insert the TAB, to any resin base, !!

It just takes time

Time to re-animate this post!
I've joined the third Old World Army Challenge (https://oldworldarmychallenge.blogspot.com/) (OWAC), which consists in painting 1000 points of army in 6 months (we're currently at mid-course).
I've started a new imperial army, to paint models that didn't fit in Pfeildorf's theme. A bunch of fools and fanatics who followed Pieter the Pious in Araby and met an unknown but probably fatal fate.

So far, I've been able to paint three regiments:
- Empire citizen:

Post by: Zygmund on April 23, 2020, 10:19:55 AM
Love the Flagellants!

How clever am I? I've finally come up with a possible point of criticism!
These six flagellants have three pairs of virtually identical hair (grey, orange, peppered black). The hair is very well done! But I'd differentiate them a bit. Or a lot.

Also the mortar & crew are excellent. The mortar is from LAM/Bruegelburg? I think I have at least two of the crewmembers. Some day, I'll paint them...

Title: Re: Pfeildorfers - an Empire OOP army
Post by: Jaeckel on April 23, 2020, 10:42:52 AM
You're right for the hair. To be considered if I convert new hermits. And you're also right about the cannon: produced by Lead Adventure Miniatures, a little bit oversized compared to the old Citadel crew.

Well, it was still doable end 2019, early 2020 (I can't remember exactly when I ordered this cannon). Unfortunately, I don't see the website where I ordered it anymore. Still, you can follow this link:
https://www.miniaturicum.de/BRU-62-Cannon-Death-Bell-1
but the item is currently not available.

And thank you all for the nice comments.
I've already started next month's entry: Pieter the Pious and zealots carrying the war altar.  :dry:
Title: Re: Pfeildorfers - an Empire OOP army

Another place to buy some:
https://shop.battlefield-berlin.de/katalog/showarticles/394/1/bruegelburg (https://shop.battlefield-berlin.de/katalog/showarticles/394/1/bruegelburg)
But the mortar is not abailable there either.

LAM launched a new website/webshop in 2019, but it is now under maintenance.
https://lead-adventure.de/ (https://lead-adventure.de/)
My understanding is that the borthers behind LAM do it for hobby, and have had other responsibilities increasing for a couple of years now. Things move slowly, but I think they're dedicated to get things functional again.

Doesn't matter, as I don't play with them. I've used the following "count as" to make 1000 points.
Monks = halberdiers, knights = reiksguards, beggars = flagellants, war altar = Lvl20 wizard and armed citizen = swordsmen.

Beautiful  :eusa_clap:

Second from the right is my favorite. That guy has attitude.

Sometimes with those old sculpts though...I mean even in 1985 it must have been obvious that some of those feet look run-over-by-truck. Do you think this has to do with limitations in technology, maybe something off in the mold making and they couldn't affort/be bothered to fix it? Or is that on purpose? Heroically pancake feet?

Well, usually, nobody cares about the feet :)
