Looking good. keep on posting as you go, Ostermark is sovery seldom seen that I would like to see more, are you going to do any Ostermark specific units? and forgive my ignorance but what is Ostermark noted for? Looking forward to a reply.  Steveb

I'm doing a multi-provincional army so I don't know if there will be any place for more Ostermarkers. Still I'm thinking about an Ostermark count.

Me too, units from everywhere, colorful pageantry is not just reserved for those pretentious Brets. None the less an Ostermark army would be very unique, in my experience it is seldom seen.  Keep posting.  teveb

Stunning banner  :icon_eek: How did you do it?? Any WIP pictures please?

Sorry no WIP pics , but it was quite simple. I took a soda can, cut it, bend it , put GS in few stages and than prime it. Freehands are also easy. First paint the main coat than do with base colour for the shape of the panther . Later add eyes, nose and spots. Finally use black paint to make contours. As for the commet start with fairy orange, than add yellow, bleached bone, white.

Hey dude! I love those ogres obalix, asterix and their little doggie getafix, great conversion work,  Have you ever seen the real lead asterix miniatures including all the character and Romans? There were two different versions put out, but you did a wonderful conversion.  I also loved Herr Hinkledorf with his picklehaub and monocol, makes me want to click my heels and say Jawhol mein Herr.  Was the helmet a 54mm bit? or was it scratched? good job, steveb

Everything is this army is nice, I like the United theme, and how you have tied the bases together so they look like they're from the same army.

However, with the Stirlanders, what makes them Morr followers? And why does the Champion where tiger skin?

I have no problems with it, they look cool, but I was just wandering?

So my Stirlanders pray to Morr due to battles againts the living dead. They want him to take them back to the underworld. The captain has a tiger cape beacause he is a veteran who fought in Kislev or he has lot of money.  :happy:

When you think about, there really aren't enough warhammer regiments featuring Elvis, Mr T, The Black Knight, Black Adder, and  Baron von Munchausen. 

If I may make a small suggestion?  Take out the brazier, and convert a miniature of Michael Knight/David Hasselhoff.  He's pure 80's cheese, and Germans looooooove David Hasslehof.

Yeh, but they seceded. It's like saying Altdorf is in Reikland.

How dare you! Nordland? Those slack-jawed half-wits? Nothing but sniveling dogs and usurpers. I'll have you know that we Endals were a cornerstone of the Empire for many long years, we formed the province of Westerland, a grander province by far then Nordland, the whole of which cannot amount to the splendor of the city of gold.

Gustavus is friend of Baron Munchausen (the guy in the middle of the 1 row) .In the movie he has an ability to inhale air and exhale a powerful huracane/tornado/wind.

Indeed it's a chaos marauder. The cloak is also marauder one only without the skull and fur. The shield is a standard 20 mm round base, GS, blister pack plastic and paper clip. The spear is a modified marauder knife with GS, mounted on a paper clip.

Its great stuff Chris.

Don't be disheartened - often it feels a bit weird just repeating how good you think something looks, but rest assured we love what you are doing.

I think you did a good job on Leonides. I think his abs like a tiny bit too linear, but just great.

I like the Fire Wizard - a bit colourful for me, and not sure about the fire eyes, but I do wonder how you made the body for it?

The Arabian is great - do you have any shots of the front of the body not obstructed by the shield?
For some reason though the sword looks... chunky?

The body I used for the swordsman was the first one from left

They maybe took me about 2-3 weeks 1-2 hours a day. I don't know. I didn't count. The moustache was very easy to do but the GS wasn't very sticky, so I needed a tad more patience.

The custom Volands Venators look good, though I don't like the look of the long lances, where you connected 2 different pieces together.  I also prefer the look of the original Voland's figures, compared to the empire knights.

Quick question, where are the heads from?  I recognize a few as Knights Panther heads, but can't quite deteremine the basis of the others.

Because they each have 2 Str5 attacks in the first round, it's best to maximize attacks, thus fielding them 6 or 7 wide.

No. I have never played, but soon I will have 2 weeks of free time so  it's going to change.

The rules for the War Elephant are in the Campaign Booklet.
Before I played in Animostiy 3 I used the rules for Ogre Rhinox riders for my DoW Araby army.  People have been humoring me and allowing the A3 allies rules for games I've played since the campaign.  Actual camel riders! Woot!

P.S.  @ Chris:  A war elephant is a unit unknown to warhammer.. but a chariot has a base of 50 by 100mm (2by4 25mm bases)  giving you the chance of giving it chariot stats and actually use the model if even just for the fun of it... (The model would also fit better on a bit longer base so to see ;))

  Nice.  If you want Arabyans you could always use LOTR Haradrim they come in packs of 24 for like 25 dollars.  I use them and they are nice, although a bit smaller than regular humans.  But they work out nice and I use them in my army as spearmen.

Plus, if you put them in the Elephant howdah, it'll be harder to tell they are smaller than the WFB models than if they were in a ranked up unit.  :-D

The base is to bright (Bloodstone and Dark Flesh aren't the same colours).Don't know what to put on it. Maybe a dead guy or some equipment like shields or something. Also I have bad experience with painting over white so I will use decals on the barding, but I haven't decided which ones yet.

It really kills em that GW went to the effort to do those fine Tuetogen models and then makes them obsolete within a very short time span.  I know they're commonly fielded as greatswords, but it seems a waste to abandon the established fulff for such fine minis.

The traditional red and blue Kislev scheme would be fine, but really any color scheme with nice color harmony and contrast would be good.

I like the Gold wizard best. The yellow is great, but most of all I like the the red orb and the green bottle which are very well painted.

I had no ideas for the captain until I saw an old plastic knight of the realm, like this one (only with red bulls):

Few minutes of searching through the bits box, assembling, GS, painting. BAM! The captain was made. I think I've captured the essence of Ostland.

Awesome job on the Griffon. Its amazing.
However, the way it is placed in the chariot and the plinth looks a litte bit off, Im sorry to say.
A bit like he stuck a statue in his flat-bed truck and drove off. I certainly dont mean to flame you, and I have great respect for your skills, its some awesome work done on the piece.

Or building the pedestal up higher so he really overtowers them?

I agree with patsy.
Rank and file are trained to operate like clones under direction of an officer. All men act under the command and the officer directs the regiment.
This a very disorganised looking regiment.

Forming 'square' to receive a cavalry charge? There was some training for this in the ECW 'London Bands of the New Model Army', but as a hollow square, with your musket detachments moving inside. No idea if it was actually used.

I've seen this type of formation before on pike modelss, and it looks great, but it makes it bloody difficult to form them up close to other troops, or get the charging enemy force in base-to- base!

In the end it comes down to aesthetics or practicality, and which you prefer/are aiming for.

If surrounded, yes, it did occur with pikes before the bayonet came along, but with such a small body of soldiers it would just look futile.

By all means, but in my opinion the aethetics is in the hands of practicality.

I'd say you need at least twice as many men to pull this look off without the unit looking uncoordinated.

Post by: Geekmeister on August 16, 2010, 07:40:40 AM
All I'd say is that some of the models need to be turned maybe 45 degrees towards the front of the unit, because at the moment it looks a little like the units prepeared for flank attacks not frontal attacks. All in all though, I think you've done the models great.

I made the orc from the new archer set


I really like the pose... for a human.  A race that can sow an arm back and it grows back to place... well I think Orcs aren't that dramatic about their injuries as us hummies...   (although .. if I was an orc and not willing to fight...  this looks like a way to get out of it. Sneaky.. like a weedy grot)

@chris: welcome back.  :::cheers::: Looking forward to see this blog going again.  and of course.. congrats with finishing high school!! :happy:

Sorry for threadomancy, but I've come back, at least I'm trying. Here is a freebie warrior priest (you get 1 spare torso from the greatswords set and 1 pair of additional legs from the archer set). He is already painted but I must finish the base. I'll try to upload the finished guy in a few hours. For now wip pics.

Edit: finished pics.

looks great! having just one looking okay is the toughest challenge. you passed with flying colors. once you have a good size unit it'll be even better.

I wonder if there is something for the little cross bar you could use instead of sprue. that looks the part for the vertical part but some details would be nice on the horizontal piece. I guess, when in doubt, use a skull. but there must be a better solution.
Title: Re: United Empire Army * 8th November - Test Legionnaire
Post by: steveb on November 09, 2016, 04:05:39 PM
the use of hot water, or candle heat will allow you to bend a bar or rod of plastic to shape, into a wings curve or arc at the top. however that being said, your style works quite well.  steveb

Title: Re: United Empire Army * 8th November - Test Legionnaire
Post by: Darknight on November 10, 2016, 05:12:21 PM
I would consider making a simple mold for those wings. If you made a single-sided master on a piece of plasticard, you could pour a silicone mold and then cast up as many as you need, joining them together back-to-back to make double-sided wings.

You could also miss out the central support and use a piece of bent brass rod on the model - just cast up the feathers themselves.

Post by: patsy02 on November 16, 2016, 06:15:28 PM
Agreed, it looks good. Producing N of them seems like a pain though. Also, you practically have to bolt and weld hussar wings on if you want them to stick. They have a high rate of transport attrition.

Nice unit of archers!

I don't know if the photos eat up contrast, but I think a little bit more could be done with shadows and highlights, especially with the fluffy red and white sleeves. They dominate the figures because they are the most colourful spots, so any extra work would likely immediately pay out. Just a suggestion.

Gotta love the few live Empire projects still going strong here. Keep the good stuff coming! :)

The High Elf chariot wheels work well - better than I expected.

Because gunners don't have to march all the time or do silly exercising. They have time to polish there pride and joy, the piece they are connected with, their primary piece of equipment.

That's why most cannon most definitly will not look like this. 

The interpretation of the artist of this piece, I guess, is a piece that has seen constant action for days.  I cannot think of any other reason a cannon would be that filthy by any soldiers standard. :closed-eyes:

@Chris:
First: Woodgrain is something I never attempted. I truly love what you did there.
Second: Go counter natural in thinking.... you did alot of effort on the woodgrain... but a cannon that used at the barrel and dirty overthere and so clean on the rest of the piece....  grime the chassis of the cannon a bit more would be my advise.

Cheers,

Henerius

Probably yeah, if fired enough in one battle. You can get a lot of carbon build up on guns, with even modern smokeless powder. However I would think that other parts of the gun and crews hands and faces would be grimy too.

Empire artillery, now with bases. I have replaced the wheels on the mortar and cannon, and repainted the helblaster volley gun. Also, I have acquired the classic models.

Nice!

Warrior priests are my favorite in the Empire model range. Probably have around ten of them, and Luthor of course. I just cannot seem to justify taking them in my lists, so I mostly use the models to spice my Flagellant units. What are you going to do with four of them?

Put them on a shelf. I don't play and focus only on the painting and modeling.
