On to the Handgunners!

In the meanwhile, I've discovered Prisma:

Those Demi's are great. Really lovely models and check out that tree! Perfect forest for those warriors

Thanks! Its been a while, but I'm still painting. Here's a Handgunner front rank:

We'll be playing another battle in our campaign after Easter. Its Relief of Carroburg, but Empire will only be spectators, watching as Elves and Chaos battle it out underneath the walls of the famous fortress. Should still be fun

Sounds like a lot of fun! Can't you lend the pointy-ears a hand, or at least a small ammount of black powder goodness?

RE.Lee · « **Reply #179 on:** April 12, 2017, 05:13:15 PM »

Both my opponents are bent on using Elves (Wood and High), so there's not much space for Empire troops. Greatswords will be displayed on in the trenches along one of the table edges, as I just love the look of them.

I love the kitbash handgunner 3rd from the left. Nicely painted too.

GamesPoet · « **Reply #181 on:** April 14, 2017, 01:47:04 PM »

Curious as to what bits were used for the handgunner 3rd from left waving his hat? The head is from the whitewolf knights heads, and it looks like the hand with the gun is from the 6th edition handgunners, but the rest?

Warlord · « **Reply #182 on:** April 14, 2017, 02:12:30 PM »

Its a Bretonnian Men@Arms body I believe?

It was a Bret Bowman to be exact! Both hands and hat are old Empire plastics. Its a nice simple kit-bash

I'm doing another 9 of the Handgunners now - some head swaps with the Pistolier/Outrider set to be seen.

Happy Easter guys!

I really like your Bretonnian bowman conversion to a handgunner, in my opinion the empire needs more models with gambesons and you are doing your part

well done

RE.Lee · « **Reply #185 on:** April 23, 2017, 06:15:27 PM »

Carroburg has been relieved by a combined Elf force today, Chaos goes on the defensive!

The handgunner are almost finished - 9 need finishing touches on the bases, another 9 some highlights.

Xathrodox86 · « **Reply #186 on:** April 25, 2017, 01:41:08 PM »

Those handgunners look like they're about to bust a cap in Be'lakor.

RE.Lee · « **Reply #187 on:** April 25, 2017, 07:33:28 PM »

Judging by his performance in the game - they didn't help!

I've finished both regiments today:

Now on to the IC Knights!

Your painting skills are improved piece by piece, these guns are very beautiful! Congratulations will be a fantastic army.

RE.Lee · « **Reply #189 on:** May 09, 2017, 12:39:05 PM »

Cheers!

My IC Knights are almost done - I'm bulk-painting 13 - but I wanted to show a nice shot from the Siege at Marienburg:

Rowsdower · « **Reply #190 on:** May 09, 2017, 02:12:56 PM »

Great stuff

Warlord · « **Reply #191 on:** May 10, 2017, 12:05:25 AM »

That is a great paintjob. Very moody too. How did you do the metal griffon?

If I haven't said so before, I want to say it again - I love those handgunners.

RE.Lee · « **Reply #192 on:** May 10, 2017, 12:56:37 PM »

Glad you like them! The Griffon is a simple Balthasar Gold, with an Aggrax wash, then Mithril Silver (or whatever its called now) highlights. Thanks to the highly detailed sculpt it turned out very nicely!

RE.Lee · « **Reply #193 on:** May 11, 2017, 11:12:17 AM »

The Knights pretty much done. Shields and banner to be added in undetermined future

On the the Halberdiers!

Xathrodox86 · « **Reply #194 on:** May 11, 2017, 11:56:37 AM »

Are these the Reiksguard? Very impressive!

Artobans Ghost · « **Reply #195 on:** May 11, 2017, 01:12:59 PM »

Those knights are remarkable! I absolutely love the colours.

Rogers Kul · « **Reply #196 on:** May 11, 2017, 02:30:39 PM »

I like your clean painting style. The heads of the handgunners are perfect

RE.Lee · « **Reply #197 on:** May 11, 2017, 04:50:32 PM »

Thanks guys!

The head swaps turned out really well - it helps counter the clone warrior syndrome these guys can suffer from.

The colour scheme on the Knights is in line with the rest of the army, so the plumes do appear a bit "Reiksguardish" but they'll be acting as regular IC Knights. The name of their Order is yet to be determined.

I'm not entirely happy with the arms on the champion and musician - I wanted some variety so they have the White Wolf ones but I'm considering changing them back to full-plate.

Doc J · « **Reply #198 on:** May 12, 2017, 10:42:25 PM »

I have to agree with everyone else I love the color choice. It really compliments the snowy bases and gives them a cold look. I hate to face off against them, they look like they'd ride my poor Stirland foot down like grass.

RE.Lee · « **Reply #199 on:** May 27, 2017, 10:53:05 AM »

The Knights have yet to see battle (at least in their painted state). Almost got a game in with the Empire this weekend but my friend ended up in the hospital (

).

I did get the time to finish my Halberdier horde, though
