The colours shine, yet the camp followers have a rugged feeling to them. Outstanding!

This time I even love the sculpts, each one of them.  :laugh:  Are these something super-rare OOP, or do you get them from the Facebook groups or eBay at a decent price, like five £$€ per mini or the like?

Thanks! No, there is no rare or unreleased model here, you can rather easily find them on eBay. Still it took me some years to get the "turkey girl" at a decent price.

Very, very high standard there. Thumbs up. Absolutely amazing.
On a side note, are the banners custom made from scratch too or ...?
Well thanks. I use plastic banners most of the time: Empire or Dark Elves.

Love the old feel, the last Ogre I just got for myself to fill out the ranks of my Spearmen

I really like the Reiksguard with the double colors on their armor, nice work overall!

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:

Hi folks,
You're right, the front guy on the left is a MM60 Fighter. The other 9 are Marauder Miniatures MM65 Reiksguard references, slightly converted, but plumes untouched.

I like the hammer swap for halberd one. Very clever.

Thanks!
By the way, Victor, I like your icon or logo. I might borrow it for the standard bearer of the Reiskguard unit :)

More amazing models.

I’ve got to ask, what paints/colors do you use for the cream-white cloth?

Thanks! The basecoat is a mix of white and Vallejo Extra Opaque Brown, hightlighted with VMC Pale Sand, VGC Bonewhite or VMC Ivory.

Nothing new here (except the cannon on the left), but here is a recap of my activities this year...



Followed by the current state of my Empire army:

Thanks! The cannon is an old Citadel war machine. No modification here.

Fantastic looking army!

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?
