Title: IV Hochland Batallion
Post by: Alex-bbr on March 25, 2015, 02:08:01 PM
IV Hochland Batallion

Hi guys,

I visit your forum since few months now. I really like to see some blog painting. I saw so beautiful army and units here ; it was a lot of inspiration for me.

Anyway, after have been only spectator, I want to show you today my favorite army of WHB, my approximatly 5k of Hochland army (depends of the heroes and lord). I love this state for his color schema and his fluff.

Heres the pictures :

As all army who are never finish, this one is not too. I have still some stuff to add. Like more knight, Demi-gryph, more infantery. But I have enought to play some cool battle for the moment.

Don't hesitate to comment, I will really appreciate it.  :::cheers:::

Hope you like it!


Alex

Nice Demigryphs! As a man of bold colours, I agree with the bright green highlights  :::cheers:::

Also, might just be for photographic purposes, but I like the 6-demi unit, should be a hoot and a half when crashing into an enemy unit!

Wow Im really liking this post,  the first picture in the line-up sets the tone. When I saw the size of the army I wrongly assumed anybody with an army this obnoxiously huge must be an American, then I checked Paris, France and I was even more amazed  :lol: Great army, how long has it been in the making? The veteran Handgunners are my favorite.

Alex-bbr, bbr= Bieber like Justin? Just wondering.

All in all cool army.

Haha, some of the best painted and largest armies shown in the Internet are painted & owned by Frenchmen. There sure is dedication and skill there. I guess there's a language barrier, though, which cuts a portion of communication.

Hi Doc J and thanks for you message, really motivating. Haha no, i'm not american indeed! I starded the Hobby in 2001, but I started to really build this army only in 2008. So approximatly 8 years for this result. But I have an O&G army too, same size.  :-D

Haha, I don't know if we have the largest and best painted army, I guess we can find large and fine painted army in all country. Personnaly, the best empire army painted that I never seen were here, on this forum, and give me a lot of inspiration, so you see. :) But I guess in France, yeah, we maybe have a solid "tradition" of Historical wargaming, like Napoleonic War (of course) or something like that.

But you know, my painting is not a hight level too. My painting technique are really simple. I'm just fast to paint large army, but I can't spend too much time on one single model.

If you want to learn french  :icon_mrgreen:, I share to you my original post on the french warhammer forum. There is much much more pictures, fluff and illustration for each unit of my army : http://www.warhammer-forum.com/index.php?showtopic=229682

For the next time, be ready to see more oldschool models!

Thank you guys!  :smile2:

In my opinion, empire metal and plastics troops from 90's have really better look than the 7th plastics ones. It was a great time for the hobby!

I propose you today a Marshal BSB on horse.  :ph34r:

Awesome army! I particularly dig the unusual armour design, black metal with gold edges.

One unrelated thing just occurred to me. Why does the Aldebrand Ludenhof model have "Karl Franz" written on his sword? Was that model maybe meant to represent a generic Empire general when originally created? Or is that a converted model with another sword?

Your right sir, its a another sword from the demi griff kit. The original one was ridiculous small, so I remplace it by a bigger one!  8-)

Thank you guys, I always appreciate your feedback.

@ Zyggmund : The spearmen project proceed Swordsmen is so simple. Juste cut the head, replace but another one, cut boths hands, add a hand with a sword from 7th state troop or 6th militia, add a shield, and that it! The 6ed spearmen/handgunners are always usefull. They can be use for lot of things.

Now, I start to work on my pikemen, but I hesitate for the color schem. So I painted 3 different color scheme. Please tell me which one you prefer!  :-)

(https://img15.hostingpics.net/pics/684125DSCN0536.jpg)

(https://img15.hostingpics.net/pics/132323DSCN0537.jpg)

Title: Re: IV Hochland Batallion

I still love the black with gold trim armour, and I love the little touches like extra horse plumes, head swaps, big new knight helm plumes, horse tail swaps, stripey lances, gold rim shields and demigryph banner. So nice.

I've been thinking for a while I should comment, but I haven't really known what to say. Your painting style is unique and interesting to say the least. Use of flat colours with sharp-edged highlights, such as having a lone stripe of a ligher colour either running along an edge, or on a raised section. What to call it? Post-impressionistic? Somehow it looks disturbing in some places to me up close, which is weird considering how sharply contrasting highlighting I've used myself, though only with black wash as the darker colour followed by re-highlighting with the base colour, that might affect things. I bet they'd look great though at typical viewing distance on the field of battle.

Hello guys, nice to see you like this cavalry!

Konrad von Richtmark, thanks for your comment. I have indeed a very particular painting style. Also, I try do find the best time/quality ratio. I don't like to spend tens hours on one models.  :smile2:

I was browsing this great thread, and my eyes fell on the battle pictures on the page before. It seems you play with big blocks, and from what is visible in the photos, your opponents prefer the same. At least the Orcs & Goblins player.

I've understood you play T9A, and I've understood the meta of that game has been lately leaning towards MSU tactics (many small units). Could you talk a bit about your tactics, and if you go with the feeling and looks first, or if you've tried different gamistic combos and actually prefer the big blocks games wise?

Hey Zygmund, thank for your message, i'm glad your interest about my army and my playstyle. Your right, I play in 9th age in V2.0. This is a great game and a good version, really balanced. Empire army book is one of the most balanced i've never played (and I play since the 6th WHB edition).

Your right too about big infantry block, this is what I prefer to play, for fluff and playstyle raison. In my gaming club, the meta seems to be indeed big infantry block, instead of MSU. My tactics is based on heavy synergy : orders, hatred, prayers, buff wagon, detachment, death warrant, alchemy master and flaming banner on infantry blocks (for rerol to wound). I maximize the synergy combinaison, making a "simple" troops like block of spears a real theat for ennemy. I always play a minimum of 2 warrior priest, each in a block of 50 spears and 40 imperial guard, with 2x20 swordmen covering the flanks. Artillery force ennemy co to come to me, let me make combo charge and crush the ennemy.

The 40 imperial guard with great weapon impress me a lot, crushing everything go in her way. I like to give them the +2 armor save from alchemy, giving them a 2+ armor save!

But I always play different list, as I have a lot of unit in my army. SInce I finished my cavalery, I played in this moment a full cavalry themed list :

15 knight, Banner musician champion, legion standard : 667 points
11 Knightly Orders, Banner musician champion, banner of speed : 668 points
4 demi griffons, banner, cavalry lance and shield ; banner of discipline : 490 points
4 demi griffons, banner, cavalry lance and shield: 455 points
5 reiters, pistols : 180 points
5 reiters, pistols: 180 points
10 reiters, repetear guns: 360 points
1 warrior priest, plate armour, horse : 230 points
1 warrior priest, plate armour, horse, black steel : 275 points
1 knight commander, shield, soonstalh, lucky charm : 375 points
1 marshal, horse, chield, BSB, karadon courser, banner of speed : 355 points
1 mage adepte, horse, divination, magical heirloom, light armor: 265 points

(https://s31.postimg.org/ekik0nra3/20180310_110049.jpg)

I did 3 games. First, 4-16 against VC : it was really close. I leave his vampire to 1 HP !

(https://s31.postimg.org/uvinx4gob/20180310_160635.jpg)

20-0 against Ogre Khan (combo charge turn 2 on his death star, crushing them in one turn, and turn 3 it was over) :

(https://s31.postimg.org/tt8hell0b/20180324_154303.jpg)

And 5-15 against VC, again a very close game, and AGAIN living his vampire general to 1 HP!

(https://s31.postimg.org/3nh8c5zgb/20180324_181613.jpg)

A great potential list, difficult to play, but really fun.

Hope I answered to your question. :)

Thanks for the insight! I need to re-try my big blocks approach in T9A, some day, some year. Got some miserable results in spring 2016, and have since floated towards the MSU. But in principle, big blocks synenergy for Empire should be great.  :-)

Okay guys, back in the business!

I finished my Witchhunter on horse from White Knight Miniatures (https://whiteknightminiatureimperium.blogspot.com). I recommand you their products  :wink:

I also start my next unit, 30 imperial guard with sword and board. Since we have the option in 9th age to take our imperial guard (greatsword in the 8th edition) with sword and board, we have to convert or try new figure because there is no dedicaded model for this (except reiksguard on foot of course, but OOP and very expensive).

So I figured I have to found something that I can put together with my GW models with no big difference in terms of scale and design.

I founded the lannisters guardmens from the game A song of ice and fire, Cmon. Here is the first guy :

How do they compare scale-wise?

Just a litlle taller than GW models, but we don't see a big difference. On the other hand they are much better proportioned.

In the last pic you can see the comparaison Cmon / GW. The champion on the middle is a marienburg champion from mordheim. There is a difference barely perfectible.

In conclusion in my opinion, you can perfectly mix Cmon and GW in one army.
