Title: Talabecland Swamp Patrol
Post by: Freigare on March 15, 2024, 12:50:07 PM: Hi!

As I promised in the presentation thread, here I come with some pics of the last men (on foot) I painted. I have also painted some Knights recently I’ll post here soon. Oh, and a master engineer! But first the state troopers!

I wanted to thanks @Herostratos. Probably he won’t read this post, but his work was such an inspiration to me, even for the post title!

When 8th warhammer fantasy ed. came out many years ago, I also painted some talabecland men. I used to read this forum and I found Herostratos painting posts sooo inspiring. I liked his minis so much! Then I left the hobby until this last year.

The pics of the state troopers: (hope link works)

Here is a pic from the empire captain on foot that usually goes into the unit. I made a conversion with a hammer from the chaos warriors box. The miniature is a resin cast I made from the original I have (unpainted).

As you may notice, many troopers has puffy sleeves. I took also this idea from Herostratos, thanks again man!

That’s all for now! Hope you like it, and hope inspire others as much as Herostratos inspired me!

Someone seems to have swapped your pics for a photograph of some cosplayers up a hill?

Those models and pictures are amazing. Wow. As Zyg says, an absolute pleasure to look at. Congratulations!
