I think it would be great if everyone posted their Greatswords in this thread so that every visitor could see different paintjobs and styles of this great unit on one place.
If you like the idea please post your Greatswords here.
You can name the state they are comming from and maybe even wright the story behind them.
If this turns out successful I think it would be great to do the same thing with Knightly Orders.

Cheers!

My Carroburg Greatswords

Those are really stunning. The banner looks great, and I love the detail of the Drum!

Yeah, however, some of us will be embarrassed to have our work compared to yours. I mean you can see the whites of their eyes and the pupils as well. Still I need to get cracking on my photography.

I solemly pledge to post my greatswords as soon as I get round to painting them first

I'm currently painting mine for a tournament held this weekend. The pics should be here early next week if everything goes as planned.

Ive almost finished making my unit of kit-bashed greatswords and have painted a few of them, will post pics when i get the chance

Bartuc · « **Reply #8 on:** August 08, 2007, 07:21:44 PM »

WOW!
Both units are just magnificent!

Superb paintjob MrChaos!

King, your Greatswords are totally different and very realistic. They are truly medieval!

Rufas, I think that as long as you are satisfied with your work, you shouldn't be embarrassed about it. There is allways someone who paints better then you (so what).

Thanks Captain Tineal!

I can`t wait to see more finished Greatswords here!

warhammerlord_soth · « **Reply #9 on:** August 08, 2007, 07:33:14 PM »

I think it will be a while before I post mine. Having seen the magnificent troops you guys produced, I dare not compete....

Great work one and all !

BAWTRM · « **Reply #10 on:** August 09, 2007, 06:57:16 AM »

Mine are still bare metal.

Though for the people on this site that have been to the Dutch GT with me that won't come as a surprise.

Great looking units, I hope mine will turn out as great as well.

Bogenhafen · « **Reply #11 on:** August 09, 2007, 05:15:11 PM »

Here's my Bogenhafen greatswords. Painted a good few years ago now.

Nightshadow · « **Reply #12 on:** August 09, 2007, 07:06:33 PM »

Wow guys, all very impressive!

Mine are also still bare metal. When I come around to painting them though, I'll post em here.

Bartuc · « **Reply #13 on:** August 09, 2007, 11:24:04 PM »

Bogenhafen, that is outstanding (as allways)!
I just love the guy with lowered sword!

Soju · « **Reply #14 on:** August 09, 2007, 11:38:27 PM »

Beaaauuutiful work Bogenhafen! You should make these guys a movement tray...

(Feeling sheepish posting his next to all of the others)

Here are mine! Marienburgers...

Soju · « **Reply #17 on:** August 10, 2007, 06:03:31 AM »

Sharkbelly! That is fantastic! I love it!

Hexenjaeger, I say again... fantastic unit!

Wow really great looking units! I especially like the use of the old reiksguard, a bit jealous now!

Bartuc · « **Reply #19 on:** August 11, 2007, 09:08:44 AM »

Hexenjaeger, those banners you make are absolutely fantastic!
As I stated before, I am a huge fan of your work.

Sharkbelly, that is well painted and very colourfull unit. I like the fact that you used only primary colours.
Just one thing dough, greatswords represent elite in an empire army so I think they deserve bigger and more representative banner.

Cheers!

Bogenhafen is one of my favorite Empire army painters, and this unit is solid indeed. The champ/captain? (the old mini) is the same as I use as a general, except he still has his eye-patch. How did you remove the lid and built it up again?

Firstly, thank you very much! I'll never reach the heights of Mika or Fiend, but it's nice to be appreciated anyhow.

Actually the mini is based on a different model to the one you think...
The head is a heavily doctored one from the hairy head sprue - the one with the topknot.
I entered it into the forum's first conversion contest, link here -

This shows the component parts as well as the finished mini, it actually looks better now with the dullcote on.
Any other questions please feel free to ask.

(You're not such a shoddy painter yourself Shadowlord!)

Ahem, we mortals shouldn't speak so loud of the painting Gods...

Then again, they do not paint REAL armies (read Empire).

Cool, but the body is the same though even if it is a different mini.

No I ain't I guess (thanks). My next project is to remove a few "early painted" regiments in my army to closer resemble the goodness of many armies found on this site (I wanted them up fast so I could wage war, but now that I am done with the basic pieces, I am remaking and adding a lot).

Albrecht Hexenjaeger · « **Reply #23 on:** August 12, 2007, 07:37:32 AM »

I wanna play against Bogenhafen's army!!! WAAAAAA!!!

(and thanks, Bartuc and Soju!)

Alasandril · « **Reply #24 on:** August 14, 2007, 08:03:40 PM »

Here's a couple of pics of my kitbashed Greatswords

They're built from Soldiers(only those bodies with Breastplates), Militia Swords and White Wolf arms and plenty of scrounged thigh armour plates

I will get round to doing something with the banner at some point
