This is a great cannon from game zone, spanish miniatures company. The 28mm crew figures fit in nicely with GW's figures. It is all metal and it was easy to assemble. steveb

This is the 114th transport regiment. Every army needs a supply unit to bring the supplies forward to the troops and if necessary fight their way through to those in need. I was sitting on a group of Mordheim dregs and no idea what to do with them, when I put the fact that they look like they are carrying things and remembered the story of the supply coloumn in Iraq? that made a wrong turn and had to fight there way out of a bad situation. So I took the dregs and added stuff to them, (anything I could find) made a standard and created the 114th transport regiment. I count them as swordsmen.

This the a unit of swordsmen from the highlands of one of the mountainous provinces. They are converted from the old empire command legs and various militia bits and all. They were fun to do, but I remembered why I usually put my scots in grey trousers. painting plaid drives me crazy.

This is the Royal Marching band, they count as halberds, there is one detachment so far, the cheerleaders and they count as swordsmen. I am planning on making a drill team/honor guard/drill team rifle armed detachment but just haven't gotten around to it yet. The thought of white rifles scares me, or is it the chromed helmets?

This is a unit of converted Kislev infantry. The bodies are the wood elves from the original plastic Regiment, the heads are dwarf heads from the same box and a little gs work here and there. The second unit used the same bodies but for the head I used the goblin head from the same regiment box because the helmet worked for me.

This is a regiment of sharpshooters, they were specially trained in Hochland and were issued a new Engineer college invention, the wondrous sausage and marshmallow roaster rifle attachment. Some say that engineer Roy L. Dufuss designed it so that he could stick his rifle in the ground muzzle down so that the butt stuck so that he could find his rifle in the tall grass. Any way the troops have found a new use for it, when recieving a charge they shoot first and then recieve the charge as spearmen their new roasting attachment being put to a useful use.

This is a border regiment from Ostland/Kislev it kind of depends on what day of the week it is. They are all conversions, inspired by a Polish/Eastern European style Mordheim warband that I saw on a GW site. The banner is two sided and I had to glue on a mascot stand/filler to keep the standard from falling over.

This is the crypt builders regiment of the army of Morr, some one has to build the crypts to hold the dead and they occaisionally have to clear out uncooperative occupants. so I guess you could say that they are combat engineers of a sort. I had to make use of unit fillers, I acquired this box in a group deal and didn't feel like buying another so I built up their numbers with unit fillers.

This is the Wissenland Eternal Guard. Long ago a Wissenland army was trying to escape a powerful foe, they had been ambushed and needed to regroup and go on the attack again. They needed to make it through the pass in the mountains so that they could join up with their reinforcements who were coming up from behind. The General called for volunteers who would hold the pass for the good of the army and Wissenland. Roland the commander of the Wissenland Guard stepped forward and proclaimed that the guards would hold the pass forever in order that Wissenland would survive. The guard stepped forward behind their Commander and gave three cheers. The commander ordered his guard into the narrowest portion of the pass. The guard stood in their ranks across the width of the pass with looks of grim determination on their faces. Knowing that they were buying time and life for their province and fellow soldiers at the cost of their own lives. As the army retreated they could hear Roland blowing his mighty horn to rally his troops over and over again as they repelled countless attacks, the call of the horn echoed through the mountain pass and finally was no more. The Army rallied, filled out with fresh reinforcements they returned to the pass only to find it empty, the ground itself was blood soaked and churned into a dark red mud, the only thing left was the banner of the regiment stuck into a cairn in the center of the pass, a last honor rendered by the foe who respected courage and determination. Now, when the forces of Wissenland are in dire straits, there are reports of a mighty fog bank out of which sounds the eerie blast of a mighty horn and then the shapes of the Wissenland eternal guard shuffle forth to add their might and undying resolve to the forces of Wissenland. Let the enemies of Wissenland beware the guard are ever vigilant. Long live Wissenland!

This is the huntsman regiment that I painted up for Wissenlander, in the great army painting drive so that he would no longer have to field bare plastic. I added Brettonian bits and stretched sprue bow strings to the figures that he sent me to paint. They look better on the table top, for some reason the camera was not kind to them.

As every army has a banner bearer, I think that every army should have a chief musician. Here is mine. The idea is taken from illustrations in several GW books of several edition periods. The figure itself is resin and was found in a souvenier shop in Branson MO. it was a fisherman bear. After removing fishing pole and fish and other small stuff, I GS a vest and hat and scratch built him a drum and drum stick. so here is my army musician. He is about 6 or 7 inches tall and I think could count as a giant or as the tsar's great bear for his stats. steveb

This is the Lustrian pike regiment with detachments. This regiment was formed from the survivors of the original expeditionary army to Lustria. In one of the final battles they slaughtered a Slann mage, the temple guard had broken and ran, the slann's last command to them was do not leave me! guard me! stay with me! and so on. By the time they had rallied the slann was dead and surrounded by these pikemen who incidentally had the same color scheme as the slann and temple guard, this caused some confusion in the guard ranks. In the end they decided to stay with the slann and guard his corpse as it was his last wish. The pikes had him stuffed and mounted and now take him everywhere with them. I count the slann as a unit filler for pikes and the temple guard as swordsmen with armor and shield, the other detachment is a unit of handgunners who learned to live off the land, as indeed the whole regiment has scrounged items from the battlefield in order to stay fully equipped.

This bigun he is an Empirial giant who is a corporal in the state forces, I am not sure which province or regiment, I think he ate them all or something, anyway if there is a battle he shows up to fight, his batttle cry is "I be showing dem sarge!"

I didn't like his bare butt hanging out so I GS'd bigun a pair of pants and a vest/jacket and a hat with feather, he struts about now saying I'se a proper corp'l now.
This is the nordland farmer's grange regiment and detachments. Their Colonel is 70 year old Angus MacDonald, yes he does have a farm and a dog named Bingo. The battle cry of the regiment is EEEIIIIEEEEIIIIIII OOOOOOH. The one fanatic that you see is Brewster, he is actually a graduate of the agricultural college of Altdorf and is a fanatic about crop rotation, so he wears a fanatics robes inorder to get people to ask him why, nobody asks twice.

The Jester was made from a night goblin with two extra hoods glued on and a little facial work, he was sent to this regiment by the elector count in order to cheer them up, but after too many it was a dark rainy night and these three merchants saw a farmhouse type of joke he was conscripted by the colonel and put to serve in the ranks. steveb

This is the Pygmy brigade of the Lustrian army. These are a long out of production figure by GW who pulled them from production because some people complained about the caricature nature of the figures. My brigade is currently made up of three regiments of spearmen and a regiment of huntsmen armed with blow pipes there are also two witch doctors that travel with them.

This is an Imperial Dwarf Spear regiment raised by the Dwarf Merchants of Talabheim. They help the Eperor defend the Empire. No one calls them shorty or runt more than one time. I count them as Empire spearmen and use empire stats for them.

These are the Hobbit spearmen of the Boar's Head Inn. A most favored spot of the Hobbit adventurers, when they heard that the forces of chaos would destroy their beloved watering hole in the next attack, they all immediately formed the Boar's head Inn spearmen regiment. So far they are undefeated and the Inn is untouched.

This is another pygmy unit for the Lustrian Legion. I was faced with having 15 or so extra witch doctors and decided they looked like drummers to me, so I decided to do a jungle drum like in old the old time movies. the rest I converted into spear/halberds. I think that it works well as a unit.

Thanks for the comments guys. Geekmeister, my banners cover way there is to be done, freehand, decal, printed, copied and painted over and so on. I have used kit banners, plastic sheets, paper, architects linen, lead foil, brass sheet and so on, Usually whatever is handy is what I use. Some times it works and sometimes it doesn't.

The Altdorf Black Skulls....... each swordsman in this regiment is a blacksmith, Each man forged his own weapon. the detachments are the apprentices. On their first muster (because of their smithing skills they are kept in Altdorf, but have formed a guild regiment to defend home and anvil) they reported straight from their anvils covered in smoke, soot and ash, one of the smiths picked up a folded cloth to wipe some of the black off his face and unknowningly used the new flag the Count was about to present to them, the soot pretty much blackened the flag, when the count picked it up he exclaimed "what kind of black skullduggery is this?" well the nickname "the black skulls stuck" Here are the black skulls from the Smithy guild in Altdorf.

Her first born was a set of twin boys who as they grew up always wanted to be great swords, unfortuneately they fell victim to unknown treachery and were found dead under the stairs of the tower. In order to honor them and keep alive their memory she formed her own regt of great swords. While the Official name is the Countess's own their common nickname is the twins, dust from their bones is used to paint the skulls on their flag, so in essence when the regiment goes into the field, so do the twins, the battle cry is; "death to traitors"
The unit is 40 strong and uses figures from several editions and bits from all over. I had fun doing them and hope you enjoy seeing them. steveb

a very early helblaster 1st or 2nd edition I believe. The original GW fluff had that the goblins captured it from the dwarves, but in my world, the dwarves sold it to the empire. It has a mortar and multiple cannon barrels, the front shild is troll hide and regenerates hits on the gun.

A female Ogre for my Oriental army, I love this figure, it almost painted itself. This was one of those rare one sit down painting sessions where everything seemed to go exactly right all the way down the line.

A dragon for my oriental army, I had an extra dragon laying around and decided to try and convert it to an oriental style of wingless dragon with long whiskers, it was a learning experience, next time it will be even better. steveb

Tip of the iceberg. Steve has more citadel miniatures than Games Workshop. Literally. He has more steam tanks alone than were ever actually made!

My brain just came our of my nose!
Tooo much to take in!
Love the converted Chaos Warriors / Foot Knights,
Also the Hobbits look really nice with spears
and the Reiksguard units !
How many years has this collection taken to create?

my first GW models were given to me by Bryan Ansell back before slotta bases. Although I didn't get into empire until years later, I used to be a Orc player, back in 87 I could field a thousand figures, painted and based. and since I had few to no opponents I had to make my own Dwarves and skellie armies to fight them, my empire figures were accumulated as a side effect of trades and package deals, then cam a day when I was tired of painting green and switched to empire. I pretty much haven't messed with my Brit 15mm Nappies or Conf ACW 15mms, or my german micro armor, or space fleets or traveler space fleets and role play since then.
So I would have to say its been a few years more than the average collector/painter. steveb
An army was said by Napoleon, "to travel on its stomach" here is "Cooky" the man who tends to that stomach. He learned how to cook tasty meals while living in captivity with the canibals of Lustria. Kind of a thousand and one nights thing. As long as Cooky kept the gustatory needs of the cannibals satisfied, he stayed off the main menu. Actually I think no one wanted to clean him before cooking, but he does make a good stew, if you dont look too close, and he brews a good pot of tea, and no one has to worry about stepping on any road kill. steveb

This is a paper pusher down from general headquarters with the latest list of rules and regulations, Although he doesn't look it he is very constipated, the last three times he went to the "officers outhouse, it was tipped and/or set on fire while he was in it, and one time a sunken powder charge was set off right while he was in the middle of his business. Now when he is in the field with the army he not only doesn't, but actually cant go to the bathroom. I saw a figure similar to this in an older White dwarf and thought I just had to make one for myself, I kind of like him. steveb

This a senior sergeant from the Stirland halbadiers, He has fought in almost every action that has ever been, it is said that he has passed up retirement 4 or 5 times. He is often called upon for advice by senior officers who were once cadets under his thumb. Now he is as often in the general's tent, as in the ranks. He can do, and get away with, almost anything at all. When confronted, his replay is usually; "I know nothing, I saw nothing" Here is sergeant Schulze of the stirland army.
(http://i212.photobucket.com/albums/cc225/STEVEB20/DSC04740.jpg)
This figure was sculpted and cast in resin, by Otaku, the right hand free was left out so that you could fill it in with whatever weapon, etc., that you wanted. I really like this full bodied figure, I am sorry my painting doesn't fully do him justice. Thanks Otaku, great figure. steveb
Traveling along with the army is the quartermaster corps budget analysis auditor, if too much has been spent by an individual/s he is authorized to cut the budget, and his dept goes right to the source and starts slashing, many a shady officer has deserted when notified that he was being audited. Here is the budget cutter, Bean Kounter. steveb

Due to budget cuts in the first brigade two of the regiments could only afford one musician between them, so thye decided to share, he marches at the end of one regiment and at the front of the following regiment, using a different instrument of each. His name is Spike Jones. the decal on the drum head is fro Imperial forge, good work I.F. steveb

yes to both, I did it during one of my lucid phases. Everything fell together with no problems. steveb
this is a pistolier regiment back from Lustria, they were part of the famous crossing of the Amos monutains where the army practically starved and had to eat their horses. They being head strong cavalry men refused to walk and found new mounts. I hope you like them. steveb

this is a project that I have been working on since the new falcon gryphon came out, my inspiration was my African Grey parrot. everytime I take pictures I spot more correction and things to do, this time is no exception,but at this point I fell it is good enough to field. I hope you enjoy seeing as much as I enjoyed doing it. the knight I think is an old Marauder knight, but I am not for sure, but he seemed appropriate for the job. steveb

And I like the others figs who's not professionnals soldiers. It's giving some realistic look to the army.

:Ohmy: Oh wow sir, very nice model !!! :::cheers:::

The griffon is EPIC! well done :eusa_clap:

This rider is the old marauder pegasus rider. A very nice model with a lot of character in my opinion. The black body of parogriffin seems a bit "flat" but the picture is very dark so it's hard to see.
Highlighting a big black surface would be very tricky anyway and completely out of my skills so ...
Very nice job indeed, makes me want to convert one griffin as well, will see if I bump into a good bargain to acquire one.

I am happy that so many like this gryphon, the photos do not show the black body off very well, In room light the body looks good, I painted black, then mixed navy blue (dark blue) with black and painted the muscle groups, I then went back and high lighted (I am not sure that is the right word for something so dark) the muscle groups, then washed with badab black wash. I had tried more intense blues, but they didn't look right, and grey was already a predominate color for this figure, and I wanted to emphasize the difference between the front and the back, that being that it is 2 different animals in one and still keep them homogenous. So I decided to use the panther black scheme, what I ended up with is a very subtle modeling that that definetly oes not jump out at you. I also reached a point where I did not want to paint on it anymore, the point of, "there it is, and to hell with it!". years from now I may go back and redo but not now. On to the next project. steveb
These are 2 siege cannons that I built by using several spare mortar barrells together, one is on the plastic mortar carriag, the other is mounted on an older metal carriage. I guess they could function as a mortar/siege cannon/howitzer etc. it was just fun to build in order to have something different. steveb

Some one recently sent me some bits as a thank you for a favor, mainly a section of fence, an LOTR statue, and several statues from the chapel, I had bits left of the shrine set and ended putting them together to make a new shrine for the Buggerhof town square, I do not know yet what it is a shrine to, it hasn't officially been dedicated yet. If anyone would care to suggest the mayor is open to suggestion, especially if the suggestion is wrapped around a gold pice or two. steveb

Here is the Wissenland Guard swordsmen regiment. I used the thigh booted militia legs, torsos from the pistolier, knight, and great sword boxes. Most of the heads are pistolier heads. I relied mainly on the militia sprues for the armor plated arms and sabers, this was an exercise in gray and white for me with as little highlighting colors as possible, They look really good on the table top, but so-so up close, mostly I had trouble with the faces, it might be that pistol heads and I just dont get along. steveb

Since he has behaved himself, pays good money and hasnt broke the furniture or anyones head, he has been allowed to stay, when asked any question his stock reply is Ah doon no, may I haf anuvver pleez?

It's not just you. I don't like the pistolier heads myself. I can't quite put my finger on it, but there is just something wrong with them. They are very oddly shaped and proportioned and I couldn't paint them very well at all. As long as you don't look very closely at their faces, mine look really good.

This is a sled gun for my Kislev forces, I used left over parts and plastic styrene pieces to make the sled, If my memory serves me this is very close to what was actually done in Russia in order to move artillery in the winter and over rough ground (sleds/sledges, do better on rough terrain than wheels) Anyway I like it, it is designed to be pulled from the back end so that the crew may prolong and provide covering fire in case of the need to cover a tactical withdrawl.

I think the model looks really nice, but if you are not sure you want to paint them . . .

I am very impressed by your army!!! A wonderful thread!
Why are you uncertain about the greatswords? I think your model is nice. The red contrast colour works really well. But as you're asking, I think that the colour scheme could be a bit more dramatic, perhaps one darker colour and stronger contrasts? Would that make it more fun to paint? :-)

Here is a new Stirland Sword Regiment, it is the combined remains of six regiments that fought at the head waters of the Little Stir river. They were decimated, only two of the six banners survived the battle, the other four were carried to watery graves by their color guards in order to avoid capture, maybe some day the river will return when the need is great enough. Miraculously all six musicians survived, it has been said that this is because they showed unwavering bravery by staying at the front of their individual regiements and rallying the men, this courage was recognised by the enemy and they were allowed to live, There are a few characters in this amalgamated regiment. not the least of which is Sampson, a native of Lustria who joined the regiment, because the green and yellow colors reminded him of his Jungle and his beloved bananas. This in itself is remarkable, but the survivors did kill an enemy hero and brought back his great sword as a trophy, it was the cause of many an argument over who was to carry it, when finally it was suggested by a local tavern wench that the "Biggest" Man should rightly carry the biggest weapon, and she was willing to judge the contest. Imagine everyones surprise when Sampson displayed his bigness, the bar wench declared him the winner, when she was asked how big it was she replied, I dont know he just pulled out enough to win. Also included in the regiment is the former quartermaster for the brigade, it is said that the swords don't get you, then his pen will whip you to death. steveb

an old timey metal giant, does anyone know where this figure came from? it was in the bottom of a box of figures that were at least 20 years old, I think it is at least as old as that, but it may not be, I enjoyed painting up this old fellow, I put a halberdier next to him for scale. steveb

The Buggerhoff (silent h) grenadier guards. Their red and grey uniforms pay homage to my old Nappy Brit troops. I had to do some chopping and adapting to get a variety of poses, but here they are ready to enter the fray with a barrage of grenades. It is rumored that they have a form of gas grenade that really messes up highly armored figures, but then maybe it is just propaganda.

I really love the limber from a few posts back (reminds me of work)! How can you paint so much it is ungodly! :Ohmy: Please oh please can you give us a total shot of your collected masterpiece?
cheers,

Hi Steveb.
Yes that is Indie circa talisman about 1985. One of the xpansions. He should have a hex slota base from memory.
Unsure on the giant, there is one that it reminds me of Maraduer from the early 80's it may be that one, if it is it may actually be quite collectable and worth a great deal... but unsure.
Liked your Grenadiers with the launchers, nicely done.
Your transfers for your banners? Armorcast stuff or something else? Lexi.
-
Petey thanks. Someday when I have 5 or 6 days free I will set up tables and take a picture. I do have other blogs which cover other parts of my army, the Emperor's Panzer Corp, The royal flying corp, and the Emperor's Kislev allies. when combined it will take awhile to set up, I haven't set up a blog for the Cav corp, but it runs about thousand figures. I kind of would like to see it all in a battle formation someday myself.
Alexious, thanks for the intel, I kind of thought he was talisman, but wasn't sure. thanks again. steveb

Your transfers for your banners? Armorcast stuff or something else? Lexi.
The transfers that I used on the banners and drum were from Imperial Forge, he is a member on this forum and also has a web site, I think he still sells decals and such, I haven't looked lately because it takes so long to use up all of what he puts on each sheet, it would really be worth your while to check it out. I have recently started putting down a layer of flat acrylic and while still wet putting the decal on it and then smoothing it out with more clear acrylic, it seems to provide a much better seal if you can get the decal flat without wrinkles, not always an easy task, but when it works, it really works well. steveb

There was a disturbance in the center of Buggerhoff (silent H) yesterday. A young Blue dragon stopped for a visit. After drinking near a barrelful of the trident Inn's best stout, provided by our wealthy neer do well ogre in resident, he flew on to whatever his destination might be.
This is an old figure of mine that I dug out dusted off and revamped with some new paint and all. steveb

A new Halberd regiment has joined the Buggerhof (silent h) forces. It is commanded by "dead eye dick" an ex engineer, who was kicked out of the royal engineers when he was caught with his p****r in the General's pickle slicer, she was fired also. No one questions his leadership or ferocity, just his common sense. I had been collecting the tall boot legs from the miitia box for a long while and finally decided to use them for this regiment. the flag was an idea from an ealier edition of metal handgunners parts used to modify the plastic figures of the time. I used elf banners because they have that certain character of movemnet that I found pleasing. steveb

A new gun crew has showed up from Nordland, they say they want in on the big nest egg thingie. When told they were hunting for a dwarf, they were thrilled, but when told that everyone was following a dragon, they refused to join the hunt. Their reply was that the gun was too damn heavy to drag through the woods and mountains, but they would stick around just to watch the fun. steveb

They are not actually after the dragon, merely following her. Moma is in pursuit of the black Tree dwarf. She seeks her eggs, that were stolen from her nest at the Imperial Zoo. Due to here size, and no need to hide, Moma dragon is easier to follow than the dwarf copter pilot. There is increasing pressure to resolve this situation, as there are rumors that the Imperial Dragon Lords from the S.D.L. (Sentient Dragon League) have the Emperor's ear in this matter. steveb

Grierson's Raiders.
There was an unlikely empire hero in the fight against the last great Waaaagh. General Grierson; as a child he was kicked in the face by a horse, it was feared that he would die from his injuries, but that was not to be his fate, As soon as he recovered he went to training on horses, he still disliked them imensely.At the begining of the waaaagh General Grierson was just a colonel of militia cavalry, after presenting a plan to the emperor, who really liked the idea. General Grierson (recieved a promotion) took all the light cavalry and rode clean around the Ork and Goblin forces, he raised heck with their supplies and communications, not counting how many wolf riders were diverted, and assigned to protect things from him, also to chase and apprehend/kill him if possible. The General's men were sometimes referred to as Grierson's ghosts. When the raid started he would not let the men take anything that rattled or made noise, no gunfire allowed. The weapons were to be lance, sword and bow. Everything was wrapped and muffled, the horses hoofs were covered in leather boots so that they did not clop or leave distinct tracks. In fact they relied on signals for orders,as no one was to talk or shout. No fires could be lit, so the men had to rely on
cold rations and ale. The Orks and Goblins spent more time chasing rumors than they did chasing the ghosts. Since the great waaaaaagh has come and gone, and the need for so many generals was not so great.General grierson took a demotion in order to stay in the field, he now commands a regiment of former slaves, they proudly carry on the name of Grierson's raiders, you will find themout on the frontiers of the empire. They still move quietly, and live off the land.

A hedge wizard has arrived in Buggerhoff (silent h), he is selling a line of love potions, protection amulets and many other concotions that are guaranteed to be 110% effective, or the second one is half price.

The Emperor has heard of the sad demise of the last teacher. It seems he sat on a tick, placed on his chair seat by a student. He died from blood depletion, the tick sucked him dry. The emperor has kindly provided Buggerhof (silent h) with a new teacher. To quote the Emperor, "the man is such a tight ass, he will never have to worry about anything ever getting him by the butt. The new teacher will start registering students next week. His name is Stalin Tookas.

A new wizard has been spotted in town. He says his name is; Knee Kahtoreny Boot, he reports that he is just passing through, and that he is looking for some real estate, upon which he plans to build a tower of solitude.

Captain excess has expired! services to be held in the Garden of Morr soon. It is reported that Capt. Excess tried to match our local ogre, "gimme anudder", at the Myrmidon tavern, and then down at the Broken Drum. They were kicked out of the Myrmidon, as being too drunk, but no one is too drunk for the Broken Drum. Unfortuneately the Capt. was not able to keep up with Gimmeannudder, but he was good to his word, "if I can't out drink him, I will die trying". Well........, his remains will be on display for a good fortnight as he is thoroughly pickled. steveb

Late breaking news, the bartender of the Broken Drum has been pulled in by the Night watch for questioning in regards to the recent demise of Capt. Excess. The bartender, Michael Finneus, denies any wrong doing. He has been quoted as saying "I told them that in their condition they shouldn't be drinking bugman's XXXXXX" highest rated brew." But they were paying with good gold and tipping generously.
The captain of the night watch has yet to issue a statement. steveb

The commander of the main bastion has just recieved his bastion defense cannon, the cannon was designed by chief engineer Leonard from DeVinci. the gun sits on a turntable base, all guns can be fired at once, or they can be aimed and fired individually.

I would have been done much earlier, but I dropped this in the middle of assembly and it took almost a month (it seemed like) to find all the pieces and resume construction, it is not the most photogenic, but I like it, and I hope some of you do also. steveb

I like it steveb, but the light blue parts photograph pretty flat - or are they awaiting more highlights?

I like it steveb, but the light blue parts photograph pretty flat - or are they awaiting more highlights?
yes, the light blue gets a wash and a highlight, the dk blue edges get a thin highlight, also a few other small touches, more bone on scoll work and lettering for instance. I just got tired of it and had to take a break, I dont think I have ever had to entirely paint something before I could assemble it, and then dropping the box of painted parts in a crowded room, well it became something that I wasn't enjoying doing. When my enthusiasm returns, I will give it it's finishing details, for now it is table ready. steveb
I also put together a great sword regt from reg state troops and a bunch of xtra great sword arms that some one sent me, it was easier than this wagon critter, although I couldn't get the camera to work quite right. I guess it must be my old shaky hands.
anyway here is Baron Gottit Cheep's Middenheim great swords. steveb

The baker's guild has fielded a halbadier regiment, the purpose is to guard their flour warehouses and bakeries. Some say it is to keep some apprentices busy. Thirteen dough mixing apprentices have been formed into a unit, their commander is the former chief dough mixer Bill Berry, he has gathered twelve dough mixing apprentices and they have named themselves "the Bill Berry's dough boys. In recent actions they gave a good accounting of themselves. The city grand marshal has said that he would be more than happy to have Bill's Berries as an auxilary in the regular city forces. The local wags has renamed this unit as the baker's dozen, although some citizens upon seeing the naked lady on their flag hustle their children off the street with admonitions not to look at that dirty (Baker's) dozen flag.

(Note : "Baps" is a British term for a bread roll. I daresay you could say "she has some fine buns" but baps is inherently more comedic).

Fantastic painting! I just love the two guys arguing on the back of Lumminark - "We will use the bound spell!" "Fool! We need the power dice for something else!" "But we can shoot the hydra!" "They'll just dispell it!" etc. etc.
-
Really Steveb your painting is improving in leaps and bounds........not that it wasn't already outstanding as it was mind you :mrgreen: The guy at the back of the luminark seems like on the verge of slapping hard his acolyte for some stupid mistake he did when fetching one of the potions needed for a ritual
-
I keep being amazed at the speed you're doing this at...

the WALTER is really impressive steve
-
thank you all, for the kind comments. The war altar looks even better in room light. I used warlock purple mixed in my blood red in order to create a highlight color, but under the photo flash, the purple/pink pops out. In reality, it is a more pure red with many shades and highlights, the warlock color does not standout, I was pleased with the results, this is one of the few times I have painted bits before assembly, because many of the parts would be inaccessible once assembled. Going back and scraping primer and paint off of glue points was a real pain. Does anyone have a solution for this? I know that if you dont do it the glue wont hold, and will shear at the first bumb, or jolt. Thanks again. steveb

I have been away from the Forum for quite a while and come back to find an old thread still going. Steveb, you have to be one of the most prolific painters I have ever come across. I'm just wondering when you are going to start offering vacation packages to come visit the "Majical Armoury of Steveb" so that players from over the world can come visit and marvel at your vast kingdom of figures.
-
Mr. Steveb, I really like the idea of that riding turrent.
There is only one little flaw with it, the construction underneath. If a goblin would get underneath the turret, then your mighty construction will fall :Ohmy:

Novgord, I feel the same. But the turret has never survived long enough to become engaged in close combat, I still subscribe to the old war wagon set up, each war wagon was fielded with outriders to protect it against close attack, not that it couldn't do the job most of the time on its own. I also try to use it behind the lines and shoot over the frontline troops, of course this makes it a large target, mainly it is just fun to field it and see confusion and panic flash across an opponents face for a brief instant. steveb

something I dug out and refinished, old war wagon, old-old style horses, chaos dwarf ? swivel cannons, and odd assoted crewmen. There are hollow tubes glued around inside the compartment, so that you can take the cannons and move them around, or change them with another weapon, as long as it has a rod in the bottom to insert into the tube. The cherub on the front was from a craft store. I had always imagined these wagons going into action with the stanks and outriders as a combination team. anyway I hope you enjoy a blast from the past. steveb

Reliquary of Sigmar, another old piece I have dug out and am going to refurbish/touch up. I used the silly putty mold, crazy glue and accelerator mold method to make some of the parts. The basis is the wagon part of the old war altar, roof is scratch built, with green foam moss, the dragons at the gables are from the old-old naval game, the rod that pulls the wagon is made from old battlemaster flag poles, I also used some rub on lettering, and a few other techniques and pieces. The old rule allowed for a reliquary as opposed to a war altar, mine was supposed to contain the bones of the second finger of Sigmar's left hand. When it rode into battle the troops were always heard to say they were giving the enemy the finger. steveb

I dont think that I posted these before, they were in the background of another picture. But here is "the Hochland long rifle regiment" Their nickname is; "the Johns" as in long johns. They are not usually seen in the parades that are held around Buggerhoff (silent H), since the unfortunate instance when the were told; to the rear march, well with shouldered long rifles everyone, but the last rank, was knocked unconcious. anyway here they are. I had fun doing them. steveb

2 captains, one metal, and one resin.
I painted these two at about the same time, if it wasn't for the bent handle on the hammer i wouldn't be abl to tell the resin form the metal one. If you are not sure the yellow one is resin. I will go back some day and replace the handle with a metal rod. steveb

The young Valten never had a mounted version, so it is not that. It looks like a Conan-type barbarian figure.

that is a chaos horse, so a Barbarian?

But Im looking at it and thinking...should the sword be bent like that...or is it an act of nature.
Hard to tell from here.
Great as always tho.

thanks guys, I guess that it is a grenadier figure, barbarian/conan, but now that raises two new questions for me, what did I do with the chaos rider of the horse?, and what did I do with that magnificent tiger that was the original mount of the barbarian?. I guess I will have to keep digging. I would like to say that the old grenadier humans are an overlooked resource for the empire, they used some of the same sculpturs as GW as I remember. steveb

I fear you have confused the The Knights Encarmine for a regiment of commoners and also that they are not in the Empire Heraldry book either.
From this very sites list of Imperial Knightly Orders and originally from a GW piece that gave conversion options for Knights:
The Knights Encarmine
“Founded by the rich dilettante Frederici Tolscano in 2310, the The Knights Encarmine are a flamboyant, foppish band of warriors. This may have something to do with the fact that the Order is comprised entirely of the rich and privileged. Still, wealth alone isn’t a guarantee of entry, as there are very strict and rigid guidelines concerning who may actually join the knightly order. Being a collection of rich and generally powerful individuals, the Knights Encarmine hold much political clout. As such, they have the option to choose which campaigns they will take part in — often the ones which require little actual dirty work to attain the most glory.
Each member of the order maintains a brilliant suit of red armour topped by tricolour plumage of green, white, and red. As the paint coating the armour chips away easily, the suit must be constantly repainted in order to maintain appearances. Members of the Knights Encarmine eschew the lowly shield as it is a “commoners defense” to hide behind a metallic barrier in battle. Instead, the Knights Encarmine practice a secretive two sword combat technique. One sword acts as a deflection tool, while the other strikes the deathblow.
Despite their often intolerable nature, the Knights Encarmine are very welcome when battle is finally joined. As the members of the Order incessantly hone their two-sword technique, they are masters of the blade. Foes fall in droves as the red-armored Knights plow through ranks of foot troops and mounted warriors alike. As long as a general can stomach the tales of highly exaggerated bravery afterward, the Knights Encarmine are a valuable asset to any army of the Empire”.

this is m the old time oriental rocket battery, 3 oriental and one hobgoblin who fight alongside because they love to make noise. We used to shoot them in the desired direction x3 d6, then use scatter for direction and 2 d6, repeat 2 more times before it hit then used mortar template, sometimes it came back and hit you, sometimes it hit the enemy, but the real fun part was that whoever it sailed over had to check for panic, with a better than even chance for mounted troops to scatter because of scared mounts. They were great fun. steveb

Nice rockets. I much prefer the historical looking style of yours to the GW Rocket Battery (nebelwerfer)!

again with left over bits I decided to create a gun emplacment as opposed to a mobile battery. I hope someone likes it. crew will follow later. steveb

Will buggerhoff (silent h) be getting any more fixed implacements ?

there are rumrs to that effect. there has been a lot of construction in the local mountain range, passes, and on certain fording sections of the river. Rumor also has it that Dwarven engineers have been seen in conference with Human engineers. And the aerodrome has been expanded, along docking facilties at the river port. No one knows for sure what is happening, there have been rumors of new units being trained at Fort lost in the Woods. The only thing for certain is that some of the city burghers and councilmen are acting like they are newly rich. steveb

I love it, the Old World's first "rail" gun!

These two young Paladins have recently returned from Araby with Lion mounts. Their mounts, Simba and Leo were much better behaved than their riders, most bartenders are happy to see them on their way.

I enjoyed doing these, if I had a source for more lions I might build an entire unit, I got these two in a trade. I hope you like them. steveb p.s. the blending on the one lion totally washed out in the photo light, it looks smoother in room light not so much contrast.
-
Cool :smile2: Really like the gold. The highlights on the lions looks a little to random for my taste but on the whole well done. But as you said that may be the photo.

Great idea! I'd love to see a whole unit...actually you only need one more for a 3 model unit. :Ohmy:

Honestly it's a bit bland with all the metallic paint, due to a lack of colour but I suspect the photographs have a lot to do with that as well.

My favorite though, is still the marching band. Such a great idea...

The recently postponed execution of chicken theif "snuffy smiff" is back on the schedule. Ed wacker the executioner has finally shown up. He reports that his horse was stolen while he was in the bushes "taking care of business". As a result he had to walk 20 leagues to get to Buggerhoff (silent H). It has been reported that some drunken wags have taken to calling him "the horseless headsman". Byline: Buggerhoff (silent H)Gazzette, reporter, I. Crane steveb

Can you do a quick size comparison of the dragon next to a empire regular dude. I was going to get one of these to put KF on as the Imperial "Steampowered" Dragon. Can't believe the bones dragon is so cheap.
Thanks :-P

The word on the streets of Buggerhoff (silent H) is that there is a band of beastmen running amok in the north woods. Commander of the night watch says that just between you and me they are not running amok, they are running a still. He further states that as long as their biggest offense is overcharging for their product he is going to leave them alone. steveb
As a side note, several of the wood cutters wives have reported seeing naked hairy butts pressed against their windows in the middle of the night, the night watch commander has named this the case of the moonshiners. Connection? we can only wait and see. steveb

Novogord, yes they are squats. I used to do 40K before I started empire, every so often I will dig out a box of odds and ends and will find things I never finished and give them a shot.

A new wizard just rode into town today, his name is Abelard and he is here to conduct an account/evaluation of the work being done at the University, all of the professors are a twitter and the senior staff members appear to have gone fishing, the only reply we could get from the secretary was "how the #%&@ should I know" acolytes have been seen polishing, sweeping and doing things they normally could not be forced to do. To keep up on the latest news be sure to buy a copy of the Buggerhoff (silent H) Gazzette.

There is a new regiment of wicked warriors in town. They are from one of the border prince's territories. They stay a lot by themselves. They are so bad, that they are known as the "father raping, mother stabbers". Their leader is a Brettonian exile who is known by the name of Edouard Puisse, he likes to be called "Eddie" his only friend is his dog "Rex". Eddie is unique in that he is an excellent swordsman, and very blind! having plucked out his own eyes. When asked why he did it, he refuses to anwer.
So over the next few days I hope to present "Eddie Puisse, Rex, and the father raping mother stabbers. steveb

Put frog in my aunt's chamber pot, uncle thought it was funny as hell, but I still got a whipping.

another giant has showed up in town for the convention?
this an old all metal giant, it is heavy!, still all in all it went together nicely and was fun to paint. steveb
-
IMO one of the finest models in GW's (well, Marauder's) history. Certainly their finest monobrow.
Lovely paintjob, too :eusa_clap:
-
another giant has shown up in town for the "conference", the local brewery has upped production, and the local ranchers have put extra guards on their herds. If anyone in Buggerhoff "silent H" knows what is going on please inform the constabulary, or the night guard, or the day watch, or the enforcers. please.

Still work in progress but just fiddly stuff left to do on it. It is an all metal giant, and I do not know who made it, anyone have an idea? steveb

It's a Reaper Hill Giant

Nice to see the Marauder giant in your collection, too.

shadespyre, thank you for the answer. steveb

This is a new comer to the Buggerhoff (silent H) he asked that he be called Richard Sasquatch, out of his hearing most people call him "that big hairy Dick" The local cobbler is excited, he says that Richard has the biggest feet he has ever seen and canot wait to make him a pair of shoes. steveb

Well you know what they say about folks with big feet ...
... they need big shoes.

I'm laughing my head off at only the first page. Sooo notifying this page! :-D

I have been working on a motley crew of miscreants, thye are all good sailors with hearts of gold. Unfortunately they lost their ship while it was docked in buggerhoff (silent h).
this first entry is, the ship's flotation failure detection team. If you see the rats go over the side then there is a good chance you will soon be joining them if you do not take action. For some strange reason they are all called Bens.

this next sailor is Fast Eddy from Brookland, Nahyahk???? he joined the crew claiming to be the best wheel man around. So the captain gave him a ships wheel to carry around so everyone would know who he is (in order to avoid him and his stories). When asked about his burden he is qouted as saying "fa gid aba id" whatever that means.
(http://i212.photobucket.com/albums/cc225/STEVEB20/second%20album/P1020635_zps20a2f06a.jpg) (http://s212.photobucket.com/user/STEVEB20/media/second%20album/P1020635_zps20a2f06a.jpg.html)
This next figure is Oly, he is the keeper of the ship's log. The carpenter wants his lumber back, but Oly says the captain said "keep the ship's log with you at all times" Oly strangely enough is able to write with beautiful penmanship, he just does not have a clue what to write, to be honest he just doe not have a clue. So as they were leaving the ship he remembered what the captain said and picked up a log.
(http://i212.photobucket.com/albums/cc225/STEVEB20/second%20album/P1020611_zps84f48d34.jpg) (http://s212.photobucket.com/user/STEVEB20/media/second%20album/P1020611_zps84f48d34.jpg.html)
my next character from the missing ship is, Albert T. Ross. He is the man everyone blames the missing ship on because in a fit of silliness he threw a shoe at bad luck bird and had the bad luck to kill it. The crew made Albert T. Ross wear the bad luck bird so that when bad luck came visiting it would know who to visit. Also after several weeks of wearing the bird he is usually found alone and down wind.
(http://i212.photobucket.com/albums/cc225/STEVEB20/second%20album/P1020641_zpsd544e407.jpg) (http://s212.photobucket.com/user/STEVEB20/media/second%20album/P1020641_zpsd544e407.jpg.html)
the next two characters are the Board brothers, they are twins from Nordland. Lar and his brother Star are identical twins, so in order to tell them apart the captain assigned them different colors, red and green, and makes one always stand to the right and the other to the left consistently so that now he is able to tell which is Star Board, and which is Lar board.
(http://i212.photobucket.com/albums/cc225/STEVEB20/second%20album/P1020640_zps07200373.jpg) (http://s212.photobucket.com/user/STEVEB20/media/second%20album/P1020640_zps07200373.jpg.html)
my next character is more of a fixture. Every ship has one. This is the ship's head. He complains that the crew treats him badly, he gets every shit job there is, and he really get pissed.
(http://i212.photobucket.com/albums/cc225/STEVEB20/second%20album/P1020632_zps2f9cad6c.jpg) (http://s212.photobucket.com/user/STEVEB20/media/second%20album/P1020632_zps2f9cad6c.jpg.html)
next is the diminutive quartermaster and some of his supplies. The captain was reluctant to let him sign the ships articles because he was only 1/4 the size of the crewmen, he promptly replied then make me the quarter master. Done deal. Here is 1/2 pint, the 1/4 master.
(http://i212.photobucket.com/albums/cc225/STEVEB20/second%20album/P1020628_zps901ffad1.jpg) (http://s212.photobucket.com/user/STEVEB20/media/second%20album/P1020628_zps901ffad1.jpg.html)
this not so good photo shows "Old Tom" Tom is the biggest gossip in the crew, he has spread so much s... around that the captain has put a gag on him. Now since he cannot talk he has taken to hiding in the apple barrel so that he can at least hear the rumors that are being passed around by the idle crew members. (ala Treasure island).
(http://i212.photobucket.com/albums/cc225/STEVEB20/second%20album/P1020626_zps95d9003c.jpg) (http://s212.photobucket.com/user/STEVEB20/media/second%20album/P1020626_zps95d9003c.jpg.html)
every ship's crew has at least one "Old salty sea dog" and here Louie who is the one for this crew.
(http://i212.photobucket.com/albums/cc225/STEVEB20/second%20album/P1020645_zpsacbb1622.jpg) (http://s212.photobucket.com/user/STEVEB20/media/second%20album/P1020645_zpsacbb1622.jpg.html)
everyone has heard 15 men on a dead man's chest, yo ho ho, and a bottle of rum. Well here is the dead man and his chest that they talk of. He is the fifteenth man to own this chest with that record no one else would take it so it is his forever, and next to him is his favorite libation, island rum. And come to visit is the ships mascot the Parrot (they knw that he is a vulture, but no one wants to tell him, especially after he learned to talk) named Yo Ho Ho. So we have the fifteenth dead man and his chest, Yo Ho HO the parrot and a bottle of rum.

Here is Captain Shorty, he is keeping an eye out for his missing ship, He says the next time he tells the crew fall in he will add "on deck". It was while they were fishing everyone out of the water that the ship disappeared. He says he is tempted to take a few men in a long boat and sail back home all by himself.
(http://i212.photobucket.com/albums/cc225/STEVEB20/second%20album/P1020606_zpse15ab93c.jpg) (http://s212.photobucket.com/user/STEVEB20/media/second%20album/P1020606_zpse15ab93c.jpg.html)
a swabbies job is never done, this sailor is know as the permanent mop jockey. If he leaves ship he has to take some decking with him to swab. It is a kind of a magical geas, he is reported to once have been a magician's apprentice and had some kind of inceident with mops and buckets.
(http://i212.photobucket.com/albums/cc225/STEVEB20/second%20album/P1020602_zps9fc5f11c.jpg) (http://s212.photobucket.com/user/STEVEB20/media/second%20album/P1020602_zps9fc5f11c.jpg.html)
here is the ship's cook Ram Saygordon, he is not much to look at and he does wear his best sauce pan as a helmet, but he can cook like no ones business, in fact when someone asks what they are eating he will reply its none of your business. behind him is his helper, two thumbs his helper. Two thumbs does all the heavy work and eats the scraps. Of course this is not healthy and he is always constipated, to the extent that he went around all the time saying "kant poop, Kant poop" the crew shortended it to K.P. so the cook's helper was henceforth called the K.P.
(http://i212.photobucket.com/albums/cc225/STEVEB20/second%20album/P1020601_zps4ecc2a34.jpg) (http://s212.photobucket.com/user/STEVEB20/media/second%20album/P1020601_zps4ecc2a34.jpg.html)
this is the ships look out, ooh ooh, the captain has trained him to sound out "ooh ooh" when he sees anything, the captain then gives him a bannana. He is standing in the crow's nest. The crow having subleased it to him previously and then disappeared, Ram the cook says it is none of your business where he went. down below is the cabin boy timmy cakes, he is so sweet the captain makes him wear a bucket over his head. In order to avoid scurvy the cabin boy is responsible for passing out apples and limes to the crew, since old tom now occupies the apple barrel.

@steveb: Lousy Lar Board and Star Board joke, otherwise a v. interesting update!!

I just finished painting up these pre-sloota GW empire figures, while the plastic is nice and can be kit bashed and converted to no end there is a certain beauty in these old figures, even the smaller preslotta ones, you can see that the designs were clearly established even then, I believe these were late 70's anyone know for sure?
Anyway here is a unit of stirland reserve militia that have been recalled for duty.......... steveb

Closer to 1985 I think - I had the very same figures out on my desk a couple of nights ago, both Citadel ones with slottas and later Foundry ones on round metal.

not converted, pretty straight up oly change was a brettonian infantry shield, seemded to fit his larger proportions better.

Mind. Gutter. Out.
And on an unrelated note, I'd be greatful if people could let me have any spare shields they have available. I've got approx. 100 state troops who are without shields and would like to properly equip them ASAP. My biggest problem? The shield bits packs have disappeared from the GW site..... :-(
-
:icon_eek: there be 14 of them ....wow :eusa_clap: :eusa_clap: :eusa_clap:

If I ever end up with that many Demigryphs - although I probably won't - my units will be organised in multiples of three on account of them being monstrous cavalry; that equals the same rank and horde requirements as monstrous infantry, correct?

:icon_eek: there be 14 of them ....wow :eusa_clap: :eusa_clap: :eusa_clap:
15 regular, and bruckner on the male for total of 16, hopefully I will be able to add another unit doing some customizing at some time in the future. steveb

I found a bag of DOW the other day and was pleasantly surprised to see it was almost a full regiment of Arabian cavalry. They were a pleasure to paint, there is just something about metal figures that defies description, I prefer plastic for conversion, but I prefer to paint metal. anyway here they are, Ali Baba's light horse. steveb

Great job with the old Desert Dogs Steve. Someday I am going to paint at least one of mine...

I went through my drawers and I think that I found all of my old metal white wolf figures. There is actually only 38, but I converted a valten on horse figure to be the grandmaster and I gave them a warrior priest to ride with them, kinda like the regimental chaplain althought some say he is a member of the inquisition who got lost and liked it that way. steveb

Unfortunately they never made metal musicians for any of the old 4th ed Knightly orders.
-
Who needs musicians when Hammers ring when rising and falling.
-
Oxycutor; strangely enough they did make a musician, but most folk use him as the commander, there is one in the front rank, 4th from the left, if you look under his left arm you will see the end of his horn peeking out, and yes the metal white wolves (I just wish they had made more poses) are much more impressive in metal than the generic looking plastic ones. although the plastics can be bashed into a good looking unit. steveb
-
This may be slightly OC, and if so, my apologies. I wanted to ask what you guys mostly make the Free Company into. I used several boxes of them to make a couple of Swordsmen hordes and the halberds from the same set to make a nearly 40-strong Halberdier horde, but I've also used them for Crossbowmen, back when Crossbowmen were still Milita.
The only thing I didn't use them for was as Archers, and that was only because I couldn't model them so they would fit two to a space in the old-style GW foam trays.
-
Noble, yes but that is okay. I would get rid of trays by GW, or invest in home made-i.e. upolstry foam and card board box cut you own holes any size you want, and then go crazy making archers out of mlitia, they make especially good rangers/scouts. Do not let a box of holes limit your creativity. steveb

Steveb I love how in your post you casually say that you "only" have 38. Cost me an arm and a leg to get 8! But since you say they've been in your drawer you might have bought them a long time ago.
What an impressive sight the unit is. Knight hordes are always great and the old-school White Wolves rank among the finest GW sculpts.
What made you give them red armor and silver barding? They were usually painted the other way around. Not that it looks bad, I'm just asking.
I like the little additions you gave the priest. But why didn't you paint up the mounted Ulrican priest? He'd fit perfectly in that mighty unit!
What you described as the musician was officially sold as the grandmaster. I always thought he was the grandmaster who just took his drinking horn to battle!

back in the day I could buy 5 knights for $21.00 ( METAL) lol those where the days :-P

Cam, you are correct he was sold as the grand master, but it is my very strong suspicion that when he was sculpted GW said he is too neat looking to be the musician, lets make him the grandmaster. I like him better as a musician, the horn is the same as used in other musician mounts. In the old rules (I do not know about the new ones) if you used the White Wolf grandmaster he became the general of the army, I would expect the "General" to more grand.
The painting scheme was an old one from way back in the 80s I believe, I intend to reverse it for my plastic wolves and total red for any 9th edition if they occur.
In regards to the ulrican priest, I do not know on what floor, or in which room on that floor, or which cabinent contains the box in which he resides or I would have used him. I do not always plan out what happens ahead of time, it sometimes just reaches a critical mass and bang I pick up the brush and paint whatever I have in front of me. The white wolves were one of those, it just hit me one day that I had a bunch of them scattered around so I gathered them up and started painting. One of the next units I am about to go nuts on is the old metal pistoliers I found about 20 of them in a drawer and have been accessorizing them, tomorrow I prime! steveb

Good advice; maybe I will take it if Warhammer as we know it survives this whole "Age of Sigmar" thing that's upcoming, in which case I may start assembling an Empire tournament army, probably including Huntsmen or Archers....
-
I guess what exactly he was sold as doesn't matter, as long as the opponent knows what (s)he's up against. Your grandmaster/Valten conversion is awesome anyway so I'd use that every time you need a grandmaster.
You're right that one would expect the grand master to be more grand. I guess that's why most people convert one...
Excited to see your plastic White Wolves when they're done. Any special conversion planned or will you just use the regular upgrade sprue?
You know, when you put it like that, it makes perfect sense to use the sigmarite Huss. I guess I couldn't even fathom the amount of figures you have. Bravo on getting so many of them painted!

The Sherwood Forest players Regiment has shown up in Buggerhoff (silent H) to entertain the troops. They are a fine group of entertainers, and they can hold their own in a fight.
First up is Maid Marion, and her stand in Marion the maid. Both are wicked good in romantic roles, archery, and close in combat.
(http://i212.photobucket.com/albums/cc225/STEVEB20/second%20album/P1020941_zpssob2ccqt.jpg) (http://s212.photobucket.com/user/STEVEB20/media/second%20album/P1020941_zpssob2ccqt.jpg.html)
Next is Will Scarlet, he is reknown for his musical skills as well as his archery, not to mention his amorous abilities. His stand in is absent today having been mistaken for Will himself by a jealous husband.

Next is the hero/star of the troop, Robin of the Hood and his stand in Arrow Flynn. Both are seasoned archers, both have been on the crusades, and both are good romantic leads. Their stories alone have thrilled audinces for hours on end.
(http://i212.photobucket.com/albums/cc225/STEVEB20/second%20album/P1020938_zps92lfavdi.jpg) (http://s212.photobucket.com/user/STEVEB20/media/second%20album/P1020938_zps92lfavdi.jpg.html)
Next we have Little John and his stand in Big John. They are the strongest men in the forest, great archers and fantastic close combat fighters.

In charge of the commisary and the comedians of the group are Friar Tuck and Father Brown. They are also able to hold their own with most swordsmen, and then deliver jokes and services over their fallen foes.

then we have the supporting cast and crew without whom the show would not go on.

Be sure to come to the performance tonight at Camp Lost in the Woods. The admission is free.
I hope you enjoyed meeting the Sherwood Forest Players. steveb

Just arrived today the three main character from e-bay Robin, John and Tuck. Was going to ask if there was any other members of the gang.
Did their not used to be an Errol Flinn looking figure blowing a horn?
Also could you show a picture of the White Wolf metal musician. Missed him from our collection of white wolves.

If anyone has any of those supporting players, I'll take a batch; they'd be great as a Huntsmen unit. Also, is Marion in armour the old figure for Repanse De Lyonesse?

People awoke this morning to the smell of freshly baked breakfast muffins, pancakes, bacon, eggs, ham, bangers, kashka, klep, hash browns, and toastem popups?. The first thing to come to everyone's mind was the hobbits are here, and indeed a new regiment had quartered itself on the town commons and was cooking and eating breakfast. The new regiment hails from the Cahokia downs, a little known area that mainly deals in horse race betting. The reigment is on its way to Fort Lost in the Woods for brigade training. steveb

A new tower has been erected in Buggerhoff (silent H) by the colleges of magic housed at the unseen University, you know that 14 story tower downtown that always stinks like someone set off a sulfur/stink bomb/burning sack of poop on the doorstep.

Until quite recently. It was released for Storm of Magic, as an arcane fulcrum, in a set with a Morr stairway thingy. Might even be still available in places. Or even on the GW website

There is a new mercenary sell sword in Buggerhoff (silent H) today. He is a little short on history but it is rumored that he was in a pirate crew for awhile and that he ended up in Marienburg. Whatever he did it must have paid good because he never seems short of funds, and is not actively seeking employment. He says his name is Brudder James and that his parrot is polly, (advice for the cautious, do not correct him and tell him his parrot is a raven, that last to do that is still in a coma). steveb

Some time back I found some parts of a kids game at a flea market. I picked up two half towers. In the game you set them and other scenery up and shot at them, they had parts that would explode when a trigger piece was hit by a projectile. I finally got around to gluing the two together, doing some modification work, some GS work, and some additions, like moss and a door etc. and a little paint. I think it makes a quite unassuming but nice wizards tower for that friendly little old wizard that never had an adventure. I think I will eventually mount it on a bucolic base with a mail box, flower garden, a small hedge, and gate. But for now it is ready for residence. steveb

That tower is such a good find, I always like to look around for inspiration but you have definitely picked a winner here.

I actually had that game when I was smaller. Siege or something like that. A great use for the pieces.

That's a great tower I really think adding terrain gives alot of character to an army

Weapons and Warriors Castle Siege, right? There pirate battle game is also a great source of material.

Sharkbelly, I believe that you are correct. I will soon be posting pictures of the tower on a scenic base. steveb

(un)Holy cow! Looks great, I especially like the blazing look of the runes on his wings.

Scary in a good way

Nice and shiny! What I really like about your work is that you have a very distinctive paint style throughout your entire collection, you can see the improvement from your early works but still they are all clearly realised by the same artist with the same style, no matter if the mini is an old small lead of a brand new giant plastic kit. Coherence, that's the word that comes to my mind when I look at your collection and to me that is what really makes a collection special and unique!
I could identify a Steveb paintjob among a hundred others at first glance, and that is not something you can tell of the work of many painters.

The semi-regular thread for jaw-dropping. :::cheers:::
Cannot say much. My painted Empire (ca. 4,000 pts) fits into a single display cabinet - which I planned when we moved to the present flat, to assure some visible space for my collection in a house dominated by women & things to their tastes.
Where do you fit the figures? How many do you keep for display or "at hand", which part must be kept in lockers and boxes?

Z, in an effort to answer your question, I keep my micro armour, napoleonics, ACW, other periods etc., and all unpainted in storage. the fantasy and scifi that is painted are all on display evrywhere. Finding storage for unpainted and wip is harder than finding display space for the painted because there is sooooooo much more of it. My wife does not like my stuff everywhere, she has kind of accepted it/resigned to it, but definetly not her cup of tea, on the other hand she does quilting and if you know someone who does that you will understand. steveb

No words to describe such amount of dedication. Only :eusa_clap: :eusa_clap:
-
Indeed. I second that! :eusa_clap: :eusa_clap:
Steve, coming to your house to see that collection would feel like a pilgrimage. I just love the amount of creativity you manage to put into every single miniature, and I wish I had even one-tenth of the hobby dedication and work ethic you have!
Some tips on getting the wife to accept the gradual creep of miniatures into other rooms of the house would also be useful :-D

ask her advice on paint schemes, storage, etc., Sometimes you can let her pick out a figure(s) for you to buy, I ended up with a forge world wooly mamoth that way, basically in effect involve her in some capacity so that she does not feel left out, or in competition with that other "thing" in your life. hope this is helpful advice. steveb

Steveb, did you buy that flat for the figures, or have they conquered the flat since? :-)
Some tips on getting the wife to accept the gradual creep of miniatures into other rooms of the house would also be useful :-D
You didn't ask me, but in case you've got kids, involve them. Since daddy and the kid share a creative hobby, mum never has complained. ;-)
I also second what steveb wrote about getting her involved. It hasn't need to be the minis, but the time. We often chat while I paint. She reads a magazine, and we dream and schedule. Peaceful moments with the family. As a warm-up for modeling and painting, I often give her a shoulder massage. Still, that hasn't made her to suggest I should paint more... :-P

I have been branching out a little, a painting things that interest me besides Empire, always all time favorite. Anyway this reaper giant appealed to me. steveb
This another vinyl/plastic giant, he is ridden by dwarves who have mounted steam guns in pods on his shoulders and has a steam engine on his back, to me he looks fearsome. steveb

Seems like good advice, and I will keep this in mind!
And I still haven't made my pilgrimage to steveb's place, and hopefully I will one day. All these photos since April have me reawakening my interest to do so.

chaos dwarf pounder, stomper, thumper. old time lead figure by GW, chaos boar/dwarf. this series of equipment is too neat to not use, so it will be joining the engineer division stationed at Fort "Lost in the Woods" just outside of Buggerhoff (silent H).

That dwarven stuff is great, has to be way before my time. What era is it from?
-
Doc J, some of it is marauder, and some GW, but all I believe is early 80's, the gnomes were from the very beginning and were part of the crew from the old lead gnome steam tank fighting vehicle, predates earliest empire stank. steveb

Alot of history there, that's before my time I didn't start playing until 2003.

do you have this early Tank Steveb ??

zak, this is one of two that I posess, I have done a few things to it like adding dragon head and removing bridge that sat in the middle. this was indeed made of lead and has been known to sag or bend under its own weight, and it was pain to assemble, but it is an example of how delightfully and whimsically gw was back in the gold old golden days. steveb

this the second one, I gave it a flying bridge with side mounted gun tubs, in the picture the bridge is sitting in front of the tank, the paint job is not very good, but it has sentimental value to me, I named it the Anna Belle, in honor of another dog that I had for years. steveb

Are those Gnomes? Ive been reading about warhammer Gnomes, its a shame they took them out.

the little fellers? if so yes. steveb

so what made Gnomes different than dwarfs?

basically they were not; muscle bound, grudge holding, gold seeking, opionated, knuckle headed like their cousins. steveb

Games poet, anytime you are in the area you are welcome to come visit. steveb
If I recall correctly, there is a game convention of some kind down your way, and I could see myself making a trip/vaca out of it, and making sure I stop in to see you for a visit. I hope to do so some day! :icon_cool:

this one of my ogres riding a spider that he raised from an egg. he has been bit so many times that he is immune to the venom. Strangely enough his name is Pyetr Pahrkr. This the result of finding a busted up gobbo spider in some one's junk bin and having an extra ogre rider and saddle. I think it works rather well. I haven't decided on basing and added accessories yet, I am also thinking of adding some gnobler spider riders as an auxillary unit. i hope you like it and invite any comments and suggestions. steveb

That's great! I won't write 'lovely' or 'nice' as they don't seem to be the right words.
Never asked before, but do you use your stuff in games?

I do not play very often, but when I do play, I use them, side note no games since the start of AOS, go figure. steveb
-
Re the AoS issue, I know where you're coming from. Luckily my players and I were already engaged on a (slow moving) campaign and we just carried on. I keep praying none of them will say they're giving up on WFB!
-
A REALLY GOOD IDEA steveb. I'm not sure why I haven't seen it before.
Gnoblar riders would look great too.
-
The Ogre spider rider is really awesome and I like the little backstory. That conversion is fantasy, its grand and that's what its all about. :eusa_clap:
-
This one of my Butchers that I built using bits from all over (mostly ogre kits), I hope to field him in a game soon.

Hi Steve - quick question... How many bird men do you have? Do you want more? I have a few, and they aren't going on eBay, and I don't feel comfortable selling them for a low price, so I would prefer to send them to a good home...
-
Of course the day after I post this, thy actually sell on eBay. I was even considering what other potential conversions I could do myself.
Ah well - I wanted to sell them.
Sorry Steve!
-
warlord, thanks for thinking of me, I am on holiday and just now saw this so I probably would have been too late anyway. But thanks again. to answer first question, I am guessing maybe around (I was having a senior moment, during typing the reply I was side tracked into a conversation abut Ogres, and when I said 150-200 I was thinking Ogres. Birdmen you are about right on I think I have about 50, I have never had them all in one place at one time in order to count them)150-200 all told. I will probably post more pictures after I finish a few more. steveb
-
You have 150 - 200!
Holy crop. I thought it was more like 50. I thought I was lucky having 10.
All good! Enjoy your holiday!
