Got another 10 Militia painted up: 5 archers, 5 handgunners. They are much more enjoyable then those 6th edition spearmen.
I only did 2 shades of highlighting instead of 3 to save time and see how it would turn out. 3rd highlight is really needed to make them pop in my opinion.




 

The archers pants in light brown I decided to try highlighting a bit less, not too happy with it.

[The Peacemaker]

Just got my 4 thunderwolf cavalry in the mail today. I couldn't resist immediately putting them together. Then I figured I'd snap a couple pics to show my excitement.
Heh, Ive had 3 demi-gryphs for about a year now and only half put them together. Thunderwolves are more exciting.

Going to use pistolier bodies for the riders. And obviously knights of the white wolf theme for the head and arms.

[The Peacemaker]

Well, a few hours later and this is what I've got.
Tomorrow I'll finish the 4th one who is the musician and choose heads for all of them. Now its time for bed.




-----------------------------------
Edit: Got the riders all finished. Got the bases constructed from smaller bases and some coffee sticks. Just have to add some orcs on the bases for my white wolf knights to fight and they will almost be done.
I'm debating on weather or not to put shields no the knights. Either strapped to the arms or saddle.

Those look great - especially the fella hanging off. He looks like he's really about to thump someone with that hammer.

Thanks.
The mounts I got off ebay for $8.25 each. The pistolier legs and bodies you can bitz hunt and get five for 5 bucks. Then you need the parts from the knights of the white wolf kit which means a basic box of knights. And the bases are pretty easy to make out of anything.

So I basically got 4 demiwolves for cheaper than a box of 3 demi-gryphs. Works out to less than 40bucks for 4.

And surprisingly there is virtually no cutting or trimming. The legs fit on the wovles just perfect.
I did trim the seats a bit and put the wolf medallions on the chest pieces.

I thought about the WYSIWYG and putting lances on them but meh, rules change so much that I just want them to look cool and they will count as whatever I want them too. And logically, wolves don't seem to be suited for using a lance, they seem to be more for getting right into combat and chomping it up, so hammers seem more ideal.

[jimbeanie]

Well they do come with hand weapons so maybe you could say you've modelled them at the point where they've dropped the lances. You could even model broken lances on the bases or stuck in victims.

[The Peacemaker]

Here is my grand master. Using pretty much the General of the Empire kit and an old shield. I filed down some of the iconography on the horse.

I'm fairly proud of him. Very crisp and shiny. They highlighting on the feathers is a bit hard to see. And the pistol on the horse I had glued on when I first got the kit and intended it as a general.

nice

Hey everyone. I've been slowly painting over the last 2 years. The main reason I haven't posted was because filesharing sites were a pain to upload too - files sizes, so I had to make colages first, etc.... And the one i had made an account needed me to merge or provide phone number or some other crap I didn't want to do.

But I found google+ and its super easy to upload too. And then its super easy to copy image location and post it here.

Also my painting skill has improved so I can paint alot faster now.

This is my Empire Captain in Wissenland colors of course. I've touched this guy up a bit and painted his backside cloak more so I'll get more pictures later.


My huntsmen of Wissenland.







Luthor Huss



Steam tank and Engineer



Light Wizard from reaper min's



Life Wizard I use for Empire



And a Knights Hospitalar (a Bret)

And here is a link to my utube channel where I show off models I've completed and various conversions and works in progress. I like using video as an easy why to show 360degres of the model.

https://www.youtube.com/user/ThePeacemaker848/videos

Only got 3 videos so far, 5-10min long. ...I don't do it often but if people are into converting I suggest you take a look.
It also shows off those demi-gryphs I was working on in my previous posts. I'll get pictures uploaded when I do my next pictures taking session.

[The Peacemaker]

High Priest of Ulrich wearing the Armour of Meteoric Iron and the Mace of Helstrom!!!!



Heavens Wizard I'm not too proud of. I'll probably revisit this guy when I want to attempt some freehand work.






And links to more pics of the Witchhunter and warrior priests.

Ah what the heck, here are a few more humans to look at. Not exactly from the Empire but close enough.

[The Peacemaker]

Just a really cool Empire dude. Aka mordhiem freelance knight. I'll eventually paint the mounted version




And here I improved upon the decals on my Knight

[Noble Korhedron]

@Peacemaker: That "really cool Empire dude" is the Mordheim freelance knight on foot.

[RE.Lee]

Nice stuff - I'm loving the High Priest, such a characterful miniature!

[GamesPoet]

Very good here!

[mottdon]

Great work!  I like how you represented the AoMI!

[The Peacemaker]

Finally after all this time I got the knights that I showed on the first page.

Quite a bit of conversion work on the knights. Cut all their legs down to a reasonable length. Cut all the helmet stuff off. And obviously the greatswords and the bird.



First free hand work I've ever done on the banner.



The banner guy's armour is painted with Grey so its my first non-metalic metal. Although it was kinda easy since it the raised edges are easy to paint.



Light Wizard Conversion I did a long time ago back when Empire had a light armour that could be taken by wizards. He is magnitized so he can be foot or mounted.

[StealthKnightSteg]

 

Awesome!

[Doc J]

I like this whole army and the light wizard is a pretty cool conversion

[Mightymatt88]

Really like how the knights have turned out. The absolutely awesome conversions look completely seamless under the paint. I really like the way you've done the horse armour too. The black and silver combination provides a striking contrast.

[The Peacemaker]

Hey guys.
I've been regularly painting but have not uploaded any pictures here because it does take a bit of time to copy paste all the links to get visable photos here.

Here is a link to my google plus pictures:
https://plus.google.com/u/0/photos/109698579068393928190

Its actually pretty good hosting option for pictures. It gives you the highlights of your pictures which basically is 1 photo from each entry, then you can click to expand and see all the photos.
And you don't have to do a ton of scrolling.


But I do want to ask if people still would like to me upload photos here the old fashioned way. I won't post all the angles but I'll post the important ones.


I figured I'd post some click bait:

[Fidelis von Sigmaringen]

Well done! And please continue posting here.

[Gankom]

I myself like seeing all the pictures in the thread. Especially such fantastic models like this.

[Michael W]

Nice stuff.  I particularly like the knights.
