Hello Gentlemen,
At long last I’ve pushed through the Landsknecht pikemen unit from warlords miniatures. Do you hear that? Here they come.

Wir zogen in das Feld,
wir zogen in das Feld, da hätt’n wir weder Säckl noch Geld.
Strampedemi!
A la mi presente al vostra signori!
Wir kamen nach Salzenmund,
Wir kamen nach Salzenmund, da hauten wir die Orks in Schund.
Strampedemi....
Really a labor of love but, also quite fun to play with the colors. I put in some GW guys to fill up the unit to forty. And, of course, the standard bearer is very classic GW. I imagine when the GW boss saw this glorious model for the first time he decided Empire puffy clothing was the way to go. And so it was for ~30 years (admittedly, I wasn’t actually in the room when that decision was made).
The musician is straight from the box. The champion is warlord metal. Here are some more close-ups.
See the guy on the very left in the last picture? That is Bob, he alone saw the dragon coming.
I’ve also painted up the last special character for Volganof, the venerable Captain Schwarzhelb (or Schwarzhalb in other sources). He makes a unit he joins unbreakable…if he lives that long. I will find a better unit for him to join, he will not command the pitchfork brigade.
Alright, what does this do to the Official Volganof Counter?
The official Volganof counter:
966/969
Hah! Almost there! Three demigryphs to go.
