Time to finally get back to the Empire. Had a classic Steam Tank I had been putting off as I got it off ebay in pretty bad shape. Did my best, but there are still some issues with it





I have no idea where this top hatch is from. Don't think it is the original



Painted the engineer up to use separately or perhaps on a war machine

[Zygmund]

Looking good!

That hatch indeed is not original, but fits nicely. Where might it be from?

It could be a hatch from the plastic tank?

[JoV]

That is exactly what it is  I have never had the plastic tank, but the screens of the sprues on the website confirm it

Next up, I somehow came into possession of a pile of classic outriders many years ago through an ebay lot. Tried my best to make them all look different, including converting one with a blunderbuss. This evening I discovered I actually have an 8th of these guys no less so I need to think up how to add an appropriate champion and banner bearer methinks

Another classic early 90s sculpt finished

[Rowsdower]

Great job
I love the sculpt of the 'grenade launcher'. Very Loony Toons esque
Great job on the old hero too. I miss the old hero minis. You could paint them straight out of the blister and didn't need to worry about sub-assemblies and billowing capes

[JoV]

Karl is superbly sculpted, as you would expect, which makes painting him super easy. However the casting on these old metal minis is the only area which sometimes makes me prefer plastics; removing mould/slip lines on a metal mini is a bit of a pain. There is a line running straight through the face of the Ghal Mharaz which i did my best to remove, but its still there.....

Nicely done! The different components come together very well.

Great job on all these classics. particularly the banners/shields.

keep them coming.

Empire Duelist I have had sitting around. Will likely go into a unit of militia

[Rowsdower]

I have always regretted not buying him, the fat merchant, scribe and bear handler when they were openly available

[Gorim]

Great use of the old Karl Franz model:) Never was a fan of the duelist model, looks too "pulp" for my taste.
