I haven't picked up a paint brush in years. Over the last couple of weeks I got the itch to start painting again. Sitting down to start painting I discovered half of my paints were bone dry. No biggie, so I went to my local game store to purchase more. There I found out that GW had changed all there paint names and the owner of the store no longer stocked the paints.

With the desire fairly strong to paint soon, I drove a hour to the next closest game store. Thankfully he had most of the paint that I wanted. My hopes are to post here every week or two with at least some progress. I have two main projects that im going to alternate between, Wissendlanders and halflngs of the Moot. Heres my first bit of progress ten halberdiers with command and a unit filler.

isn't it nice how the little guys just waited for you in a dark box all these years? Looks like you haven't lost your skills either These guys look quite sharp, classic goodness. Are the ones in the second rank conversions from spearmen?

Zygmund · « **Reply #29 on:** July 11, 2018, 07:18:09 AM »

What Naitsabe said: well-done classics!

Isn't the second rank halberdier pose the '92 Halberdier 3? So not a conversion.

looking great, but your first store didn't have any of the new paints? As there is a conversion chart available where you can match the new names to the old names.

Those look very good!

NICE

Naitsabes, Zygmund is correct those are all stock metal halberdiers. Most of my models will be metal figures. Except the drummer he has a plastic body with the old metal drummer arms.

StealthKnightSteg the local store didn't have any paint. He apparently stopped carrying GW products altogether and now mainly caters to card players. He is still able to order items but I would have to wait for it and pay retail.

Im currently working on three more ranks of halberds plus a warrior priest. Im hoping to have them done by the weekend. Everyone else thanks for the compliments. I appreciate it.

Love seeing a Wissenland army. Wonderful models and fantastic painting.

GamesPoet · « **Reply #35 on:** July 11, 2018, 06:31:01 PM »

Yep, these Wissenland halberdiers are so good, makes me want to make some units of them.

Nice.

Great looking halberdiers (yes, even the squished one

).

lt dougheim · « **Reply #38 on:** July 16, 2018, 01:03:11 AM »

I have a small amount of progress to report. I finished two more test models for the halberdier unit. Plus I painted a warrior priest to give the unit a little spiritual support. Just 13 more to go than I'll do all the base work. As always thanks for everyones comments.

Man, that's so Old/Middlehammer!

Zygmund · « **Reply #42 on:** July 18, 2018, 03:21:24 PM »

More classic goodness.

I think you have a really nice balance with the colours - relatively plain and muted, fitting for infantry, but enough highlights and colourful details to make them pop.

Thanks! I usually work with a small color palette with dark earth tone colors. I really avoided working with yellow, red or white on large sections of models because I had trouble with them in the past. You never get better without trying so Im experimenting with a lot of colors and techniques that I avoided in the past. Also the color scheme has a dual inspiration, the province of Wissenland and my favorite football team the Ohio State Buckeyes.

I love Wisseland. Its such a cool color scheme that we dont see often. Really nice paintjob and i love these old metal halberdier! Such cool and rare models!

lt dougheim · « **Reply #45 on:** July 29, 2018, 07:39:30 PM »

Slow and steady progress. Here is another five halberdiers ready for duty. Eight more to go for the finished unit. Alex-bbr your army has been one of the many inspirations to get me painting again.

What is the story behind those figures, are they older GW?

The halberdiers are all older GW models. I believe the were released in the early nineties. Heres a link to the stuff of legends, http://www.solegends.com/citcat1998us/c1998usp103-02.htm . They made 10 variants plus four plug in weapon style. I have separated the armoured and unarmoured models into their own units. When I'm done I should have four units of 25.

Army of Hochland · « **Reply #48 on:** July 30, 2018, 08:17:37 AM »

Awesome stuff. The Halberdiers were first released in 1992 I'm guessing when 4th edition came out.

This grey tone is awesome. Nice job!
