Title: Chumley Warner's Empire. 3D printing
Post by: mr chumley warner on November 25, 2010, 05:02:12 PM
 ::heretic::(October 2012) Slight change up here, i'm adding a catalogue style picture page at the front of the whole PLOG as a sort of reference of my work, and a barometer of how my collecting is going!

Here is the first completed GW Marauder treat unit.

Hi All,

I have created this topic string to contain all my work, rather than posting several thread topics.

Hopefully people may want to bookmark this, as I have a fair few pics from the last 18-24 months since getting back into Warhammer painting.

First unit I painted after a 14 year gap, was these knights, which I re-based today, in a simple coloured sand.

Not the best painting standard, but a solid 10 man sledgehammer in game!

Nordland colours, with an Inner Circle which includes the OOP DOW Gen Sculpt from 1990's..

Just added some more pics.

I got a custom built trophy cabinet maker to build me a glass case to house the army, which is awesome as a showpiece.

Let me know what you think?

Your painting skills, colour tones & style are fantastic, and the fact that you use Mordheim + old OOP stuff makes it even more awesome.  The old models are so full of character that it seems a pity to have to take them out of their display cabinet for a game.  Everything is top notch chumley  :eusa_clap:

===========

Hi The Musician is actually a Greatsword Drummer I think, OOP.

The 2nd from right gunner is an OOP Estalian GW model, they released a few with these SPanish style 16th century helmets.

If you can get hold of them, they are superb models.

Thanks , I used a wash of bleached bone on the horse, and pink on the robes, and a mix of gryphon sepia+vermin brown+bwarf bronze+sunburst yellow for the gold metal, then kept washing the model with light washes, dry each one with a hair dryer, then seal with purity seal, then highlight,

i work really fast, total absorbtion!

I've managed to get hold of the OOP General Rutger model.

I've taken off his lance and customized him using a metal Runefang as shown below.

Also used Green Stuff to remodel the arm having gotten rid of his shield.

I will undercoat when it's dried, and use him as a knightly order with Great Sword!

They do have a certain charm. I've got one disassembled and I need to give it a soak in some acetone to get all the dried superglue off it so that I can reassemble it. I got it second hand and it was not assembled very well and some of the parts had broken apart. You've done an excellent job in assembly. I don't see very many gaps at all.

I undercoated with Skull White followed by a 100% coat of watered down vermin brown,

from there I had my base, eg. I then added boltgun metal to vermin brown for the silver, and washed those base areas, and for the gold / bronze i used dwarf bronze+iyanden darksun,+ gryphon sepia+vermin brown, and washed the gold areas, and for the wood i simply washed with 3 stages,

I need about estimated 10 more hours on this one to finish.

He's a young cocky engineer, out for a raz in the steam tank!

I am excited to paint my duelist.  Do you have the one that is kissing his sword too?

Also, do you have this guy magnetized so you can use him on foot as well?

no magnetization, i dont believe in it , like to keep mine in a cabinet mostly for viewing

Looks fantastic!  Great use of a dyanmic, tight-pants model...  Paint looks dynamite, as usual.  If I could offer some minor CC, I might consider another wash/shade around the rivets to make them pop a little more from the similarly gold edging.  Overall, though, an amazing centerpiece!

I have now ordered a Screaming Bell Base, the only GW standard base able to fit a STANK on it seems!

I had to botch the current base together and it looks aweful.

This is still a WIP so I have at least 4 more hours of painting and enhancing highlights , adding hatch, base work, adding flags, converting etc

Well if you install the hatch his ass is covered and therefore the enemy will be less impressed.

I think he stands a bit too far out of the stank....I know I know he wants to show his butt and his mighty cod piece but if you don“t mind destroying the mini I would cut off his legs and place him a bit further down. (Or drill a hole in the stanks top).
Title: Re: Chumley Warner Empire Images
Post by: mr chumley warner on December 16, 2010, 11:07:52 AM
I see from the mechanical diagram they give you with the original box, that you can mount the hatch in either orientation, so i can still have the ass out.

To be frank, I hadn't noticed the ass until people on here mentioned it!

I agree he stands high , but I sort of like it now.

I've finalised my xmas eve , 2500 pts army, see parade ground,

Put the hatch on the front like a russian tank.

Best of both worlds, his codpiece is now armoured and his ass can be admired by his supporting infantry...

Gents I don't mean to state the obvious, but has anyone noticed that these Teutogen Guard models are the goddam best sculpts in the empire portfolio (apart from Valten the Exhaulted on horseback and Ludvig Swarz) !!!

I haven't included the command in the pic as they need to be assembled,

I think a very light coat of white spray, followed by very light coats of paint indeed , the detail is amazing!

Post by: Delthos on January 07, 2011, 09:38:27 PM
I'm really not that big on those miniatures over all, but wow I see what you mean. Those faces and heads on them are outstanding. They are full of character and very expressive. The rest of the sculpting on the miniature is pretty average though, as far as GW miniatures go. I've never really liked the Tuetogen Guard or the White Wolves much. I'm not a big fan of the Space Wolves from 40K either, so I think it's just that imagery they share that I'm not big on.

I like what you've done with his face and hair. It looks really nice. The wolf pelt is a little too gray. I'd look to add some extra color in there. If you take a look at some wolf pictures, you'll see that even gray wolves seldom are solid gray like that. They will have yellows, tans, browns, blacks, and white in there. Right now the armor and pelt look a little too similar for my tastes and something is lost. I supect you aren't finished with the hammer so I'll reserve any comment on it.

3 million years of human evolution, and most of it spent developing new brain neural networks to identify and understand features of the human face

Title: Re: Chumley Warner Empire Images
Post by: Delthos on January 08, 2011, 02:28:44 AM
Alright, that is better now. The bronze edging sets the armor off from the wolf pelt much more now. I still think the pelt is a little too consistent in color, but adding the blue to it has given a little bit of luster that it didn't have before. I look forward to seeing it completed. I can see the Wolf's head needs some work to finish it yet as well.

From your earlier pics, I was going to comment that the hair was dynamite.  I almost like it a little more ruddy than the final polished manes and beards.  That said, it is still extremely well done.  I might add some work to the wolf heads on the shoulders (likely in your plans) to distinguish the various textures and colors on the head - especially around the mouths.  Armor looks fantastic.

As a WIP picture, these definitely show promise.  Congrats, again, on their acquisition, and know that I'm watching for their completion!

Well done!

Both of those warbands were produced by the Specialists Games department, I believe, so they would have had very low numbers produced. They were produced very close to the end of the official Mordheim Magazine's life. I suspect they probably are some of the rarer GW miniatures.

You are building an impressive collection 'Harry' - enhanced by your painting.

The Ostlanders didn't appeal to me when they first came out - I bought 4 of the minis ( 1,3,6, & 8)

However I do have lots of the Kislev ones, and several Averlanders - the latter too I have seen go for between £8 - £11.00 each on ebay in the last year.
The Reiklanders, Middenheimers and Marienburgers were the first sets, and are slightly more common, but of course then there were the Sisters of Sigmar - another 'popular' set.
 
Ebay heartens me on a regular basis as I watch my boys' inheritance grow in value ..........

Although No 1 Son is pretty aware of the hobby, I think I had better start cataloguing the valuable ones just in case I keel over suddenly.  :engel:



Of course anyone wishing to dispose of Mordheim figures should really approach me first as I am sure I might have other Empire classics you might find attractive.

i got 11 models so i guess 2 are duplicates, which i will have to sell on e bay

If you do decide to sell them, would you be so kind as to give me a shout before you put them on ebay?

I believe there is also another rare warband, ''Averlander''

which I saw go in it's original box, last year, for £100+



I've got 4 or 5 of the Averlanders but they came to me in fairly awful condition. A few of them had really bad swaps but they should be easily fixed when I finally get around to painting them. They are lovely models.

Recipe so far: Take 10 General plastic left arm standard pole arms, chisel the ends to a point, then take 10 Chaos metal Halberd arms, cut the axe heads off, and drill a point in the axe, to fit the shafts you prepped earlier.

Use of red , green, blue and brown , and black washes to highlight and shade, then mithril silver on the edges,

I want a real weathered looking old medieval halberd!

At this stage I can say that the clothing will be white / bleached bone ,

red tassels and feathers,

the armour will be the same style indeed!

I might use some forgeworld weathering dust that i have also,

A simple trick i learned through experimenting.

I tried every light base colour in the GW range, with black wash over the top.

Astronomican Grey has the best surface adherence and result.

So u get a quickly base coated model with depth.

(http://i1027.photobucket.com/albums/y335/richardapplin/nicos.jpg)
Title: Re: Chumley Warner Empire Images
Post by: mr chumley warner on February 02, 2011, 04:11:22 PM
so babab on top seems to give an even solid coat, forms the least puddles and holds detail and depth,

then u can work washes of your base colours onto the model, and build from there, maintaining the depth in some areas , as the black lines will still be in the recesses if you work neatly,

i've had no formal training gents, so excuse me if this is babble!

I work from home sometimes, and travel about the UK and Europe, sometimes I get drawn into 2 hour conference calls with Taiwan , so I have a sweet headset , and paint whilst talking!!

It actually chills me right out for a stressful sales role, i can be painting then take a difficult call, and then just go back to painting,

instead i used to sit there grinding over and worrying about some issue or other, no i just paint , then wack out a massive e mail real fast typing,

also have a new IP Phone with headset, so London office call me and i can paint and talk

lol

oh and also, - i wake up at 6 am and paint till 9 am where possible,

no one would believe i have been more productive since painting and working, but i had my best year in business last year lol

This unit was recruited out of Nordland by a corrupt Elector Count, Fritzl Von Schminkler.

Fritzl was tasked by the Governer to recruit 500 fighting strength Halberdiers, and only promised payment upon delivery of the troops,

he cut corners and sought the employ of men from the North lands, beyond the Sea of Claws.

Paying in gold crowns, he soon ran short , when he caned his personal stash , he turned to using these troops to loot and pillage local villages.

Never questioning the origins of the weaponry, he even allowed a small unit to bring to bear Chaos Marauder Halberds, an act which in some states would have seen him hanged, but in Nordland, the governor was more than happy to accommodate these  rough edged thugs!

Very good paint jobs in this thread - very good indeed!

There are two things that annoy me in the converted halberdiers:
1. The weapons are so heavy the men probably cannot use them effectively as halberds. They would count as Great Weapons on my table.
2. Identical left hand sleeves, and greatly varied right hand sleeves.

Sorry, I just had to poke.  :icon_redface:

Number 2 will probably go away when these are painted, if you choose balancing schemes & colours. Number 1 is typical GW over-sizing, and will probably look good to most people who keep on bying GW models.

They are rather large weapons but if you compare them to a real-world halberd then they're about the right sort of height, maybe just a little weighty in the head. They do make a wonderfully striking unit though, I love how armoured you've made them, as it makes them look more realistic.

I undercoated with Skull White followed by a 100% coat of watered down vermin brown,

from there I had my base, eg. I then added boltgun metal to vermin brown for the silver, and washed those base areas, and for the gold / bronze i used dwarf bronze+iyanden darksun,+ gryphon sepia+vermin brown, and washed the gold areas, and for the wood i simply washed with 3 stages,

I need about estimated 10 more hours on this one to finish.

My image was doing quite well on CMON, 26 votes at average score 7.7.

Then some one decided to make a malicious 7 votes all at an average of 3/10,

I calculated this , as when i check CMON the score was 6.8/10 for 33 votes,

so to drop from 7.7/10 to 6.8/10 with 7 votes, u would have to vote 3/10 every time,

so some nasty person scored me 3/10, 7 times, must have been using a proxy server to switch IP

i've removed it now

why is there such nasty people in the world ? lol

Post by: Delthos on February 11, 2011, 09:06:28 PM
Not to be a jerk, but there could be multiple people who really don't like your paint job on those miniatures. I don't think your stuff deserves a 3 rating, but I can see people only giving your stuff ratings as low as 5s, even if I'd never give them that low of a rating. It sure would seem like it would be one person for it to drop in short order, but unless it's happening to all of your pictures I wouldn't think it is just one person who doesn't like you. Especially with only 30 or so votes. It just seems odd to me to remove them because people are starting to rate your miniatures a lot lower than you expect them to be. Sure it sucks, but unless they are going to continually give bad ratings, over time your rating should normalize and get closer to where its rating should be.

Here's why I don't get worked up over it. I find that the stuff that deserves to be in the 9-10 ratings and stuff in the 1-4 ratings, will always get the overall score that they deserve. Their quality is so good or poor that even inexperienced painters can recognize the quality and will rate them accordingly. Anything in the 5-8 rating range is really a crap shoot on what rating it will wind up getting. I've seen the same miniature posted two times by the same person and on one it could have a 6.2 rating and on the other it has a 7.9 rating. Nothing has changed, they were just reposted. This is because anything in this middle range, something that isn't flawless with perfectly blended shading and highlighting and a good color scheme, and yet doesn't look like it's been painted by a monkey with a Q-tip, is very difficult for many people to give a good objective opinion on. It all depends on who's rating them and when they are rating them and what mood they are in. At the end of the day, I think any thing in the 5-8 range probably has a margin of error of about 1 full point, from where it actually should be. I find the ratings I give tend to be very close to what the average rating for a fig is. From time to time I find some that are vastly underated or overated and I've found myself giving a rating as much as 2 points higher or lower than the average. Some people are blown away by everything they see and give 10s to things that don't deserve them. I see this when people comment on a fig and the comments shows a 10 rating while the miniature is averaging between 7 and 8. I've seen the opposite as well, although underaters tend not to comment unless its a really bad fig. I guess I'm just saying its far too subjective to get worked up over. If it bothers you so much, maybe Cool Mini or Not isn't the best place for you to post your work for critique?

Those Halberdiers turned out fantastic! Very nice colours, very nice use of parts. I like the blueish hue worked into the metal and may well steal the idea, if you don't mind. I definitely would not mind if you used them as Greatswords against me in battle, but I can easily see why you would want to use them as Halberdiers. The poor sods sitting in the back rank is just killing me though! True, their weapon pose suggests they should be, but now you have to remove them first!! Ahh! The pain.. Anyway, beautiful work and very inspiring. By which I mean, I want to paint cool figures now and you may well have provided that needed push - thanks  :biggriin: .

As for the new unit, we HAVE a unit of crazy hammer wielding bald headed loonies: just put 10 Warrior Priests in one unit - would set you back a good 1000 pts and therefore only be fieldable in a 4000pt battle, and you are crippling your army in 1001 ways, but hell, good luck getting a spell through  :ph34r:

That's neat how you didn't extend the flock to the edges of your RoB board pieces.  Did you do that so less would rub off with use?
Title: Re: Chumley Warner Empire Images
Post by: mr chumley warner on February 27, 2011, 01:31:01 PM
To be honest I rushed the ROB designa nd painting, and didn't really give it much consideration.

I wanted semi coverage of flock, rather than the whole thing flocked, but not because it would shed less, just because it was quicker !

Ideally I need to spend a couple of hundred Euros on the Monolith Icon store, to buy in some nice scenery, like a Colluseum and aqueducts etc.

Took some work with greenstuff and tools to set them right, but that's what you get from a 1997 sculpt I guess.

Just considering colours

they sent me 14 bizarely, but only 8 x bows?

I don't need a standard or musician for this 10 man detachment

i had to send back the 4 models for replacements, so just 8 at the mo in line,

They are not decals, but downloadable paper banners. It was a project I did for the Dogs of War Online website.

Hey Chumley,

first of all you work is splendid and very inspiring. I am a big fan.
One comment, I think you are missing 2 pieces on your canon, 2 bitz in dolphin shape to glue on the top of the barrel, you should see 4 empty holes right now where you are suppose to glue them. My English is not good enough to find the exact name of those.

Have a look at others people canon to know what I mean.

I think the canon look odd without it...

Not a conventional technique, but it helps so that the paint will not wipe off in your hand over time when you are working on the models.

Total speed painting, must be 8 hours in total for these 8 men so far.

They need more work, but 80% done

Excellent paint job there as always. I'm not sure which pictures show the more accurate color. These last ones where it looks darker, or the previous ones where it looks lighter. If it's as dark as the last picture, I think that looks better than the ligher color of the Pegasus in the earlier pictures.

Now if you could only do something to make the Pegasus look even less Bretonnian. I think the Bretonnian Pegasus is a great Pegasus model, it's just so much work to make it look "not Bretonnian".

Post by: Delthos on March 15, 2011, 08:20:40 PM
Yeah, he's way too small to be of use. There just isn't a good Pegasus in the GW offerings, in my opinion. I'm probably going to use the Bretonnian Pegasus myself, it just really bugs me having to do it!

it's tough getting the armour right on these old models, as the sculpts are quite messy, with bumpy bits and flash a plenty etc

I worked in about 10 layers of washes.

Enjoyed seeing that sword unit a bit back.  Thanks for the work in progress shots of the crossbowmen.  Really like the pegasus paint job!

And that single figure above is very well done.

Dear Mr. chumley,
You've absolutely inspired me with your army. I went through all 15 pages of this thread with my jaw hanging open. Truly incredible work!

I'm only just starting my Empire force and its color-scheme is almost identical to the yellow/blue combination of your Handgunner unit, steamtank, and Captsus. I would love to know how you achieved these wonderful blues and yellows. I notice that you use washes extensively and its something i've still not quite got the hang of yet, so some extra detail or advice about using them to get those colors would be amazing.

Thanks so much for sharing your work!
Title: Re: Chumley Warner Empire Images
Post by: mr chumley warner on March 16, 2011, 08:46:34 PM
cool, for the Blue,

Start with Regal Blue, then highlight with shades of enchanted blue, wash with blue wash and babab mixed, then blend in between down to chaos black in the recesses.

Highlight up to white on the raised edges.

Enchanted Blue is the key , it seems to work very well in it's own right without much work.

My armour technique is learned over time experimenting , i use white spray undercoat, and base with boltgun + vermin brown 60/40 mix, then wash with babac , then a layer of red wash, then gryphon, then devlan mud, then a blue wash in the recesses , highlighting with a watered down mithril and up to very thin white lining .

A good trick for the yellow is to start with a washed down layer of snakebite leather as the base on top of white,

then shade upwards after washing with gyrphon

I heartily approve, I would do more of the same myself if I had sufficient militia halberd arms.  Wouldn't it be a more perfect world if GW did a large sprue of just one weapon, arm and weapon together like the militia halbard (I have trouble gluing the blades onto the shafts in the line editions, and making them look good) with a variety of arms and positions? Cant wait to see them painted. steveb

I've found they don't bother replacing bits any more, especially if it's something boxed. They just send the whole kit these days. I think they started this when they stopped doing bits orders for everything in their catalog and only doing specific bits.

I bought a Karl Franze last year. He was missing the banner pole. I called them up and had them send me a new bit, expecting just the banner pole, I got the whole kit. So now I have a second Karl Franze I can mount on a Pegasus or Horse. I also got a 2nd whole deck of magic cards when one was missing from a deck I bought when they were first released last year.

Q: I want to use the wooden framed base of the war wagon, without the walls , as the base for my WALTER.

I have noted some people have done this in conversions,

it gives you a raised platform, which is great,

but needs to seperate the wall from the base , as i think it's one part in total,

do you just cut through the metal to seperate ?

That's one thing that Catholic ceremonies have in abundance, ritual, customs, and so many rules. Everything is ritualized and highly symbolic, even little things, and they are all important. Sounds like your wife is pulling out all the stops though, more than even the average Catholic wedding. Catholic weddings are quite impressive though. You better take a hit from an energy drink before you start the ceremony! Nothing worse than the Groom falling over during the ceremony. Your wife will never let you forget about it if you do.

I think you're right about the hat. Theres an awful lot of blue down the middle of the model making it hard for the eye to distinguish the seperate parts of the model. I would either go black or maybe the bone colour you used on the shirt for the hat. You'd have to be careful if you went with the bone as it might blur into the flesh.

I'm not completely sold on the hat color, but it does brighten it up without over powering it like it would if you went with any lighter color. The black was too dark and brooding. I like that the face is still obscured in shadow and is indistinct. It's very appropriate for the model.

I like the addition of the Cherub. It helps balance the composition better. There was sort of a void in the back there that was off-putting.

What's with those mold lines you left on the wheels? That's a sin worth getting burned at the stake!

I don't think it has any defined purpose or design. I'd say it is a bit of a mechanical familiar, even though it comes in the General box. I believe it comes from some of the GW artwork. It was just something odd drawn in and somebody ran with. It reminds me of some John Blanch stuff.

No worries , I like critique.

I'm still thinking about putting some patterning onto the yellow reins!

It's always tough as it can make or break a model when you add some decal/patterns in bold.

Post by: Immovable Object on April 19, 2011, 08:12:03 AM
To be honest Chumley, I didn't think this was going to work out from your earlier WIP shots. As is so often the case though, I was wrong. I'd echo what has already been said about the reins and Im not 100% sold on the bronze/gols headpieces of the horses but thats just personal preference and I dont think they do anything to take away from the model as a whole. Where did Brutus come from by the way? I must have him!
Title: Re: Chumley Warner Empire Images
Post by: Weilyn on April 19, 2011, 08:21:08 AM
The GW people added little crosses to the reins:
http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/productDetail.jsp?catId=cat440090a&prodId=prod20010

I did the same thing when I painted my general a few years back, and it did break up the flatness.
Not entirely sure if it would work on your model, but it might match his hat.

When seeing the first pictures of the war altar on its base, I was going to comment on the wreaths being the same color as the head adornments, but glad to see they've now been made green, and it looks better.  I am also not sure the color of the adornments works, but at leats things eem toned down a bit with the green wreaths.  And I like the addition of the dog.

I think Brutus is a Mordheim Witch Hunter dog , that's what Ebay stated on the auction!

Mordheim WHD look like Rottweiler's with a harness. Got two on my desk and just debating on where to use them atm (sorry not for sale)

What hammers did you use for the WH - are they from the Chaos Warriors? Got my AOW hunter today and one of the gun's is a bit of a manky and was doing to do hammers or swords.

I like the scheme and the War Alter btw  :eusa_clap:

I did the champ NMM ages ago now. Looking at it I think i would prefer to change the Halberd Axe Head ! It's a nice mini apart from the Halberd

I believe that the figure is a very early GW figure from about the same time as the high helm knights, In fact I believe the same sculptor did this figure, I believe but not sure he was just labeled as a "fighter" at that time GW named each figure with a silly punnish name.  But I could be wrong.  steveb

big unarmored horses tht looked like horses, although they seemed to dance on air. Knights of which many had tall skinny feathered plumes, which broke off easily with a little rough handling, another reason they are rare and unusual. they had downward pointing, tapered pointy feet, good body proportions, pretty much decoration free, very much historical in style, also at the same time they made some fantastic panthers and reiksguard much different from the later metal ones of the same name, I will be posting a unit of tall helms soon, with some of their other friends who are riding with them. It tickles me that all the figures in the unit are older than 75% of the forum members.  steveb

Chum,

Are you going for a headswap for those guys? Halberd swap? I think they might look great just with these 2 changes but I am not sure how feasible it is (never seen this mini in real life).

I wish I could get hold of a box of 30 Altdorf halberds, I missed a bid on a box a few months ago, couldn't wake up on time...

The Altdorf ones are different to the Battlemasters , the BM ones have a fixed shield.

It's gonna be tough to remove the heads , I might try!
Title: Re: Chumley Warner Empire Images
Post by: King on May 12, 2011, 10:41:23 AM
Chumley its not that difficult to do a head swap on these models as I did it myself.  This way the rank and file halberds will look much more interesting & less like a copy and paste of the same guy all over the unit.  However this is my take on it & I understand that some people like to have the same guy in the same position all over a unit as it makes the unit feel as if it is arrayed in order on a parade ground...........so it is up to you really & I know you will do a nice job on these guys whatever you decide  :engel:

Post by: steveb on May 12, 2011, 02:22:26 PM
regarding the head swaps, I am not saying it can't be done, but due to the scale difference you might not be pleased with the result, about the only bit that I have found that works with these battlemasters, is the armored sword and armored left arm from the militia kit, although the heads of the first plastic state troops might do since they were a tad bit smaller than the current troops.  What I would suggest you trying, is feather/plume swaps, it will make a difference when you mass the troops  together, the plumes are quite visible, as opposed to changing the body as in a head swap. You cant change the pose very much and the feathers stick up there for all to see. Just a suggestion, I am sure that whatever you do will turn out just fine.  steveb

Post by: Mariner on May 12, 2011, 04:24:57 PM
Wow, Battlemasters, I forgot all about that game!  That kept me very busy on Christmas when it came out, loads of models and that sweet watchtower.

For the head swaps, I have about 30 spare plastic Perry mercenary heads if you want them. They're slightly smaller than normal GW scale, so they would probably look right at home on the Battlemasters figs. Just shoot me your address if you want them and I'll get them mailed to you.

Post by: noibn on May 13, 2011, 11:37:10 AM
Very nice work indeed... You know, the more I see your work mr chumley, the more I want to adopt the Nordland colors for my own army. My only critizism with this particular paintjob - and I know that I'm nittpicking here - is that the spacing of the stripes on the lance are a little uneven at some places. It's not a big thing, the only reason I mention it really is because the standard of your painting is so high that there is really isn't much else one could critizied on that model.
Title: Re: Chumley Warner Empire Images
Post by: mr chumley warner on May 13, 2011, 11:40:58 AM
Nolin - your correct, I used medical tape, to wrap round, to make the lines crisp , but the lance is oddly shaped, and it didn't work 100% as planned.

Also I agree with Shadowlord, the sculpt is pooooor

I saw it on the GW website, and thought it looked nice,

but it's small, tricky, detail is scratchy and generally annoying.....

My aim is to present 140 Halberds next game!

one block of 70 with a BSB using the mask of EEEEE (causes Terror!)  and a WP using Crown of Command (stubborn), and then two blocks of 30 with FC.

i figure a 70 man block with terror and stubborn , buffed by magic, and WP spells like unbreakable , might be the anvil that i need !

140 Halberds! That would take me another 10 years of painting.

Take a picture all together when they are painted, please. It will be an impressive sight.

Very nice Knight Sir, with the right colors. (I better get started).

I hate to be a stick in the mud...but I hate to see you wasting your considerable talent on such horrible miniatures... :Ohmy: I hope they were cheap!

I think the battle master stuff is just terrible...but YMMV.

At least I can say they look good...for BM figures... :engel:

FBjorn had inspired me to buy and paint the MC mini!

Took me 2 hours last night and 2 this morning, plus time taken prepping and undercoating the other day.

I undercoated white, painted a wash of cream, then used ink wash dark brown on the whole model, then it was easy, just picked out the amazing detail with colours and left the shadow in place..

I'm just reading Brain Greene's ''the elegant universe''

time being the 4th dimension, if you travel in 3 dimensions your motion through time is diverted to movement ,

in this manner you sacrifice speed through time for speed through space, and in doing so age slower compared to a relative onlooker.

I only studied Physics to UK A Level, and then Master of Engineering, but I recall enough to make this book a really good read.,

I didn't know for instance that Photons from the Big Bang have been proven not to have aged ...

It makes perfect sense now to me reading this,

It was a Middenland army BSB - Teutogen guy with a different metal standard. The hands are in a slightly different position to the normal TTG SB.

They occasionally appear on ebay and can command silly prices too.

This months July Painting contest entry,

''Anatoly Krakoff'' ; Kislev Young Blood Wolf Pack Initiate.

To join the ranks of the experienced Wolf Pack Handlers you must first undergo a gruelling ordeal, 7 days and nights in the snow covered mountains, fighting off wilder beasts , with only your Wolf and your Sabre to get you through!

Some men each year never return, lost to the cold, or mauled by feral beasts in the night!

Every man comes home with mental scars, but those who are successful, make the ranks of the ''Wolf Pack'' , amongst the bravest units of the Kislev townships.

They are often deployed by cunning Kislev generals to scout ahead of the forward line, and engage small enemy units, sniffing out enemy scouts, and setting their Wolves charging an opponent, then following in with a deadly strike from their Sabre Swords!

''Borg Beagle'',  townsman, a farmer, from the City of Kislev.

Every family man in Kislev is bound by law to own a shield and sword, and be ready to take arms against the Marauding Chaos Hordes from the Northern Wastes; at a moments notice.

Farmers, traders, blacksmiths, craftsmen, fishermen, young and old, are always ready for battle.

Circa 1500 Imperial Calendar, there was a large westward migration from the eastern steppes, and of particular importance was the arrival of the powerful and wealthy Gospodars. Torn with strife, the Empire was in no position to contest these lands, and the superior arms and tactics of the Gospodars drove the Ungols to the west and north, who in turn absorbed the Ropsmenn completely. Over the following century, the power of the Gospodars grew, and the city of Kislev was founded.

The Gospodars brought with them the religion of the bear.

yeah I looked at the model, and thought how good it would be to have his upper torso on legs, but before I started i admitted that it would likely fail.

I had to hack across the whole one side , where his cloak and arm are , remove half the model etc.

Botch job , but i love the design of his head and the hat etc, so I just had to make him into a Kislev Boyar.

Years ago in 1990 I bought the Marauder Fighter Pack from Mail order, all 30!

I took it to school to show friends, i was only 11 i think.

I recall that I somehow lost one model on the bus, accused some lad of stealing it, then found it the next day outside my house in the grass !

It was F28, the guy with the funny hat.

Anyway, i've just bought him on e bay, stripped him, and undercoated , ready to join the Kislev horde!

Nostalgia my friends. :)

Honest ..

The Armour is pre mixed in a pot , with vermin brown.

Once the undercoat and bases are done, then you paint every model at once,.

undercoat is army painter grey, then wash heavy black and brown...

Basecoats: so Tallarn flesh each man, then armour on each man, then blue cloth, then browns, then orange, then wash all of them, use hair dryer at every stage to dry,

wash again,

highlight is simple also

job done

Nice run-down - how many layers do you highlight?  Is it normally just a mix of the color plus white/off white?

I think I shall have to try a grey undercoat - I mostly use black nowadays.

Different highlights for different colours. Armour for instance, is Boltgun + Vermin base, then washes, then Mythril Highlight.

Flesh = Tallarn Base, Washes, then highlight with Dwarf flash , then cheat with eyes using 0.2mm dot ink pen

almost finished 40 Kislev models now!

It's set me back around £150 - 200 so far for the unit, all lead.

The darn Mordheim Kislev Captain model keeps selling on e bay for around £30+ , i just haven't managed to win one yet!

That will finish my Kislev warband nicely if i can get one!

Your command group looks great (as everything you paint).
The whole group harmonize all together.
The tufts of grass is really nice touch to the base.

certainly beefy Halberds, arguably too beefy for the 28 mm models.

However I love the idea that Empire Halberds should look nasty and dangerous!

Will you be using him as a R&F or a champion?

Title: Re: Chumley Warner Empire Images
Post by: mr chumley warner on August 09, 2011, 03:29:27 PM
i consider myself a cheat ,

spray grey primer, then wash all over,

pre mixed colours, like armour with brown to give it a rusty edge ,

then use mass washes and a hair dryer to speed up.

Art Pen to dot the eyes,

highlighting with a small brush speedily ,

then also the black BG i use to photo the model is really kind to the shading, and absorbs excess light nicely, so the pics always look ok.

i use GIMP Photo Tool to adjust the brightness and Contrast automatically

etc


it's fast

I MUST try that hair-dryer trick!! Also, these Ostlanders, will they be champions and/or characters? Or are you just painting 'em for the sake of painting 'em? Not that there's anything wrong with that, it's just I have so little time that anything I paint is generally going into my army somewhere.....

I think that's about right, i have been painting Empire since early last year, I think maybe march time in hindsight.

Before that I had a quick few months painting High Elves in 2004, then prior to that 40K/WH/Epic in 1989 - 1995/6.

Gamezone Germany,
I have seen these many times on the GZ website and have never been impressed really. They just looked shoddy to me and not worth the coin for them. But now that i have seen them nicely painted, like you have done, and my opinion has changed 180 degrees. This is why mini sellers need to get there line painted and put on their site. If painted to a decent standard it could only improve their sales. But Mr. C, well done paint job indeed. They do look very good. Love the blood stain detail work as well. Enjoying the painting link alot. :)

As a newbie to the site I have been looking at some ideas for my empire army I started a little while ago so it looks a little different from the normal stuff, a little conversion here and there nothing fancy. I have been well impressed by the models and had a look to find some for my self and found a uk web site for the game zone models plus some other ones which are very interesting and could be used in warhammer or 40k. http://www.artemisblacks.com//index.shtml This one made me rise an eye brow http://www.artemisblacks.com/dragonblood/images/DBM011%20Princess%20of%20the%20Evening%20Star.jpg.

Its very interesting to see your process. I'm beginning to understand exactly how you can crank out the units so fast!

I'm not digging the single blue stripe on the the feathers of your red Greatswords. It just looks out of place to me. It really clashes with the scheme and I'm drawn to that stripe everytime I look at them. I'm sure that wasn't your intent. Other than that, they look great.
Title: Re: Chumley Warner Empire Images
Post by: mr chumley warner on September 02, 2011, 07:18:13 AM
you can indeed paint fast if you let the washes do the work,

I'm starting to think painting about 5 rank and file in one go is optimum.

That halberdier looks really good but please don't use the same arm unmodified on 30 models, it starts to look bad!

In my unit of free company halberdiers I've repostured the arms a little. check them out (http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6151/6173565238_ffa29da155_z.jpg). Another great idea is moving the hand+ weapon on to a new right arm.

I might have to take up fantasy writing if this is the benchmark of success!

The only book I've read of his I liked was the one in the first three of the 40K Heresy series.  Trying to get through book number 5 of the same series currently, which is also by him, and its really dragging.  Tried some of the Ultra Marines stuff by him and couldn't finish.

Looking really good, especially when you consider your painting speed. I also start to like the conversion more and more when I see them grouped.

How do you do it? 1. Basecoat everything 2. Wash it all (preferably one wash on the whole model 3. Highlight prominent areas once ?
Title: Re: Chumley Warner Empire Images
Post by: mr chumley warner on September 30, 2011, 08:20:58 AM
I tend to go with one colour as an undercoat.

In this case a brown spray, because from brown i can easily get to skin tones, leather clothing, rusted armour and wood, red and gold and cream cloth.

So once they are under coated together and the sand applied on the bases, it's easy to get them finished very quickly.

Don't forget your handy hair dryer :)

I use a standard GW brush for everything, apart from some highlights.

I like the way the skirted halberdiers look sort of old-fashioned, almost ceremonial or something. I would totally convert and field a unit like that if I could afford the bits.

Though now that I think about it, giving them tall fur hats and green skin could be pretty great. Then they could be the Tsarina's Ice-Witch's personal guard. "Oh we loathe, the oooold one. Oh we loathe, the oooold..."

Yeah, just sink a ton of cash into some Vostroyans for the heads and you are good to go.

An Oz themed army would be a really cool army. The Pegasus riding wizard would be represented by the Wicked Witch of the West on her broom, and likely a death wizard.  I'm not sure what to do with Dorothy, someow a Wizard doesn't feel right. I'd make the Tin Man into a Captain on foot, probably the BSB and give him AoMI. I'd make the Scarecrow into an Engineer. I'd use the Cowardly Lion as a Warrior Priest. Mr Warner's halberdiers as Witch's Castle guards. Build some with Greatswords instead of halberdiers to get the variety in there an have more troop types. Build some little people for the Urban Army, most likely as swordsmen. I'm thinking some apply trees for canons and helblasters. I'd model a small tornado and call it my steam tank, or maybe use it as a Helstorm. Did you notice what I just did there? The rational being it flings houses out that land on the enemy units! Just need to find a way to work flying Monkey miniatures into the army, maybe they could work as Pistoliers. This could be a really fun army to build. Too bad I've already gone too far on my army as it is. I've never read the book so I don't know how many other things there, are but the movie alone has tons of material for use.

Saw that guy get sold on the swedish version of Ebay some days ago. Now that I see him here I kind of regrets that I didn't bid more for him... And I will probably regret it even more when I see him all painted up with your skill. Damn!

Got one of his friends though!  :happy:

It's a toppled scarecrow. If you look closely you can see the smashed pumpkin that was its head. Hmmm, maybe I've spent too much time poring over the Kislev contingent supplement, that I know that off the top of my head...

Anyway, the painted horses certainly make those pistoliers stand out. Clever idea!

I posted my Pistoliers on CMON, and they have been slated.

I compared similar scores with other Pistolier images, and some of the other images getting the same score had paint out of place, smudges , looked wrong etc.

Are your Pistoliers completely red, or just their front quarters like those GW Kislev with their painted on patterns you showed earlier? I can't quite tell from these pictures. If you posted the same three view picture you posted here, it could be affecting your score as it's kinda small and you can't make out details. Ultimately I think the red horses are affecting your score. Maybe it's the pictures but the white on the horses is contrasting really strong with the red on them. The color of their manes seems a little out of place as well. Taken by themselves I think the horses look good, and the pistolier riders look good, but I think they aren't working together so well. I'm a little surprised as you usually pick colors that work well together.

Also I just noticed, did you paint the horse's eyes white? If you did that's something that you almost never see, unless a horse is scared. They have very large iris/pupils. They usually fill almost the entire eye opening, with maybe a little of the white showing in the back upper portion of the eye. Take a look at some pictures of horse heads to see what I'm talking about.

I dunno, althou I see where you're coming from I'm not sure I'd agree that any of the things you mentioned should really effect the overall score. I don't know what the consensus over at CMON is but I tend to judge paintjobs primarily on how well a given technique is pulled off. I personally find say, a smooth color transition - whether it be wetblending or layering - much more relevant than what pertiqular color combination was used. Certainly, there are extreme cases where it's valid to question the artists choice of colors but not in this case I think. The horses and the pistoliers armor look very crips in my opinion. If there's anything draging them down I would say it's the basing, mainly because it almost looks identical on some of them, with the tufts of grass on the same place etc. But that's really nitpicking it...

My two cents anyways
Title: Re: Chumley Warner Empire Images

Mr C W, if you are put off by some ones opinion, or lack of enthusiasm. Then you need to stop and ask yourself; why am I painting? is it because it gives you pleasure to create, to solve paint scheme an technique problems? Are you happy when you paint because you are exercising a skill that few people have been blessed with?  Do you enjoy the majesty of massed ranks of colorful troops you have painted? Do the unique sculptures make make you appreciate the sculptors skills?  Do you like taking a figure and converting it into something usually better, something that is uniquely yours?  If your answer to any or all of these is yes, then you shouldn't be concerned with value or worth that anyone else attaches to your work.  You shared your world, that should be sufficient, besides some other sites (un-named) are more than a little pretentious.  Keep doing what you are doing and sharing. steveb

Leave it to Steveb to put things in perspective.

The simple fact you are 50 pages in this thread and have such a following should give you better indication of your skill and your inspiration than an arbitrary grading system made up of different people that aren't even judging by the same standards. I for one look to you (And many other members of this forum) as both a well of ideas to make my own imagination work harder, as well as a goal to aspire to in my own painting endeavors.

Addictive behaviours give short term relief to long term issues, and not usually in a good way.

Painting military figures by itself can be addictive.  The trick is finding balance with everything else in life.

Don't worry Chumley.  Your painting is plenty good enough and is obviously enjoyable by folks here.

(posted elsewhere on the forum) and it worked like a charm :) under 2 hours from sprue to table top :)  Some fantastic stuff here, I really like the DE combo halberdiers.  Your pistoliers many may consider an acquired taste, but it is a fantasy army people :) I really like the paint job, don't know if I'd done it for pistoliers but that's me (If they were my kislevites?.....)

Remember - nothing better than seeing a huge fully painted army arrayed for battle with more guns than you can poke a stick at :)
Also...
Coffee is for painting, beer is for gaming :)

CMoN is a bit of an eye of the beholder, some great stuff some cr@p and the ratings don't always reflect this...  this aside though...

Agreed...  Consistency is somewhat lacking in votes, and as a good friend said who used to use CMoN quite a bit had said, it is just a much a judge upon your photography skills than it is your painting skills.

Coffee is for painting, beer is for gaming :)

Yes, but do not make the mistake of too much coffee before painting, you can get shaky.  "Darn, my troops look like they've been painted by an overactive, hyper 3-year-old, but I can stay up for days painting them!"

just don't mistake your brush cleaning mug for your coffee mug, brush water tastes nasty. Although coffee will clean a brush fairly nicely.  :blush:steveb

Made that mistake once   :blush: 
Now I use completely different containers for my beverage, and paint water, unless I am at work on lunch, where I use a styrofoam cup for both.  Though admittedly, I put my drink way on the other side of my desk so I don't get confused...I am thinking pop/ or tea would not clean brushes so well.

I have to admit being a bit upset by the score I get at cmon sometimes too.  :blush: I expected to get 8 on my latest addition there (after I really put an effort on my latest greatswords), but it ended up at about 7,6. Could not help myself thinking, wtf I spent hours and hours on these guys and some people rate it 7, bah.... But then again, if you look at the best stuff at cmon. Stuff that are rated around 9 is amazing, while those rare rated 10 seem impossible. comparing my own work with those I realize that I'm not there yet (and will probably never be). With that said an 8 is a pretty high score at cmon considering that you get to see the best painted minis in the world there. Plus the best painted minis over there are not part of armies. These master painters spend ridiculous amounts of time on one mini.

I like your stuff alot, keep it up!
Title: Re: Chumley Warner Empire Images
Post by: mr chumley warner on October 17, 2011, 03:07:43 PM
u just got an 8 from me, lol

i had an army pic on there not so long ago, it reached 8.5 with 52 votes...

Then some guy decided he didn't like me, and kept logging in using a proxy server, voting 1/10, as my score started tumbling, even though it was on there for months at a stable 8.5 , with no additional votes being added.

CMON is rubbish actually.

Whoever programmed their site, allows for multiple voting from IP addresses,

you don't even have to be a logged in member to vote,

you can vote twice from one IP, then go via a free proxy and vote twice, and keep doing this switching your IP.

I saw a guy on there selling an e bay auction for a greatsword, which was voted 9/10, but an obvious 6.5/10 in reality,

blatent proxy voting

it's rigged completely,

in fact i am going to mail their admin now and voice this blatent fact

Title: Re: Chumley Warner Empire Images
Post by: mr chumley warner on October 17, 2011, 08:57:04 PM
First of all. Don't be too serious with the scores. We've had countless of discussions about them and yes the system is flawed but the majority of it is not through cheating as it tends to even out in the end. Most of the vote irregularities comes from people posting on forums, facebook, blogs and having fans. You can vote as a nonmember but there's a few algorithms in place that takes care of some of the sniping and inflation of scores.

One member - one vote, is one of these things that have been up for discussion and there are arguments for and against the proposition. The compromise that was implemented some years ago is that if you are a member you can also see the registered score next to the ordinary so it's blatantly obvious if something is amiss. For example my latest mini has an 8.1 score with a total of 36 votes the registered rating is 8.0 with 16 votes. And that's the usual case, not a lot of difference.

The biggest help to the scores would be if more people voted.

if the paint/washes you apply is a consistent thin even coat, then you apply the hair dryer, you can achieve a quick above average quality .

I feel like a cheat in some ways.

All done using a standard GW brush, and only a fine detail brush for the eyes and some highlights.

I've removed all my images from CMON now.

Their admin won't reply to me, he knows my last mail was correct.

I basically told him that their system is flawed in cases where good will is bypassed.

EG.

1. Competition voting.
2. E Bay Sellers voting.
3. Personal grudge voting.

In each of the 3 above cases an individual will possibly make multiple votes to scew the scoring in their favour, and CMON's site doesn't protect against that by ensuring 1 vote per logged in member, which would be the obvious solution.

Totally flawed.

eeek

I think I ahve finally found a glass cabinet capable of holding all my models , it's 6 foot tall, 2 foot wide, 1 foor deep, with 5 shelves,

going to view it tomorrow hopefully
congratulations, those things are fabulous, keeps the dust off, an imperative so that you dont damage them trying to remove accumulated detritus.  Do you think I could rent it to place my Cav Corp in? I think they might fit if we pack them tight.  steveb    :biggriin: :biggriin:

Worse yet, sentencing them to a life in the case, never to be played with for fear that some harm may befall them. 

If they did befall from Dwellers, and you don't have a stroke, you could just write some awesome fluff for the unit...Just think of the tales that could be told at the pub by one surviving member of the regiement that got brought down from the Dwellers below...it would add to their noteriety, etc...

Had the fellow bring solid brass dice into a game at the shop I was managing at the time,. Like you said rolled like Thor hitting the table and unleashed a small earthquake loud enough to stop the rest of the players on other tables. I walked over there examined the huge dents in the wooden table  and models scattered everywhere. “WHAT WERE you thinking I asked the knucklehead”  He said he thought it would be funny, I told him the funny thing is he needs to apologies for the broken miniatures , my boss for his table splinters, if not he can leave until he does!!

Next step after the 2nd wash dries, I spray the models with purity seal.

This gives a matt sheen.

Then I dry brushed the bases with bleached bone.

Man, you are fast and good in the same time. Washes really make the difference between solid and excellent. Personally I don't use THAT much for rank and file. But if you are willing to put in the extra effort, the resulsts are smashing.
 
By your opinion how do GW and Gamezone halberdiers stand together on the table? Not n the same unit thou.

I'm thinking to get some Gamezone to make an elite halberdies with extra armour. Sort of like count's bodyguard. do you think it could work?

They look great. Interesting to see your method step-by-step. Thanks. Do you always use those two washes (black + blue & black + sepia), or are they used in this example because of the particular colour scheme (yellow + purple)?
Title: Re: Chumley Warner Empire Images

I guess you must just be good with a brush. If my colours are too watered down it seems like they can't help but running everywhere. Do you know how you stop this happening?
Title: Re: Chumley Warner Empire Images
Post by: mr chumley warner on November 20, 2011, 11:02:02 AM
It's a good point you make, I guess I have unconsciously developed an eye for the right consistency of paint on a palette.

Indeed too watery will lead to running.

It's more about the amount of paint applied to the brush.

I think that only practice can improve standards.

Thanks for the shameless plug Mr CW. Glad you're getting on well with the bases. The artillery look fab.

Also, great to see a step by step. Very similar to my own style of painting using very thinned paints, just much faster as I don't have a hair dryer... Or any hair for that matter.

Keep up the sterling work.

Post by: Timbor on November 21, 2011, 12:23:01 PM
Looking good!

One question I have always had - when you water down your paints to a watery consistency, how do you add highlights without having the paint just run into the recesses?  I have always had a problem preventing that...
Title: Re: Chumley Warner Empire Images
Post by: mr chumley warner on November 21, 2011, 12:25:37 PM
using a fine detail brush , you only have a fine amount of paint on the brush, and highlighting usually involves drawing the brush along a raised area , like the edge of some armour,

therefore I don't see how you would have a chance for paint to run into a recess in this circumstance?

it's all about the amount of paint on the brush and it's consistency.

then i will plan to paint the raised areas with very light colours, using the shade which the wash already provided

I have always wanted to collect an imperial army using the miscellaneous pikemen on the site  :-(

Kick-ass highlighting! That halberd in the center back looks like it's been done in NMM, nice crips straight lines. I'm guessing it's not pure mithril there, am I right?
Title: Re: Chumley Warner Empire Images
Post by: mr chumley warner on November 23, 2011, 09:23:51 PM
Mythril + white indeed.

Purity Seal gives them a duller look , hence maybe in some light they look NMM.

Stupid IF Felsh to Stone spell at just the right time. Those damn greatswords were unkillable!

And regarding the two halberdier units, they were facing like 6/700 points of Iron Breakers and Dwarf Lord...if they hadnt lost I'd have been upset.

Funniest though was my dwarves running down and killing Volks general...on his horse...with his knights...

Very interested in comments regarding colour choice here?

What do you recon?

I'm stuck at the mo,

also the Valten model is not suitable as the metal sculpt arrived and he is sandwiched to the horses head etc, and has a metal robe also,

so comments regarding a suitable rider for KF would be very welcomed

I've always planned to use one of the older White Wolf knights as my hero on griffon/dragon (modular if possible, to ride both). But, I tend to like slightly more understated figures for my heroes:

One of the hammer-swingers here:  http://solegends.com/citcat9x3/c92344empcav-02.jpg

You could use Borgio from the DoW range. I converted him to have a lance for my Empire, and I really like the look of him:

http://madponies.net/images/empire/oti.b.jpg

Maybe something like this Perry standard bearer, standard swapped for an axe or hammer or something:

Or the heroic chap in the middle here?

Hmm, Im not familiar with many wayyy OOP models, but the old MB15 pegasus rider is pretty cool:

http://www.solegends.com/citcat9x3/c92420marempheropegasus-01.htm

The problem is a lot of the older OOP stuff has a more 'simple' sculpting style.  I think you need something from the 90's and onwards to match that dragon.
Title: Re: Chumley Warner Empire Images
Post by: steveb on December 09, 2011, 06:55:25 PM
I would use a combination of general kit, Karl franz head (see silicone/greenstuff molds) and engineer/pistolier hand weapons. and any other bits that you may wish to throw in from anywhere, of course he would have side weapons/sword/hammer etc., but I would give him repeater pistols like the engineer ones, reason being, what do you think he would probably hit if he was swinging a big sword from the dragon's back? or imagine a hammer blow breaking a wing or bopping the dragon in the head=a quick change of allegiance by the dragon. obviously hand guns would extend the reach of the rider and still allow hand to hand combat with the survivors.  just my opinion. steveb

Purple:
Purple may represent sexual frustration or a need to appear unorthodox, and is a favorite color of artists. Historically, purple has represented royalty, and in darker hues suggests magic and mystery.

With only one dragon and no mating going on it is very fitting I guess.

The young KF, made his name with acts of insanhe bravery.

He once fought off a horde of 200 Chaos Marauders single handedly , atop his Dragon, whilst flying north of the border!

He spotted them out on his day off,  and engaged at will!

lol , your right,

he's almost standing up to hit some1 with his runefang,

i'm sure the dragon must weigh at least 5 times KF, so i think it could take his weight in reality,

I think I have to agree with Soth on all 3 points on this Chumley  :|  The rider looks like he is surfing on the dragon nearly like the old wood elf eagle riders did and I think this is the main let down.

Post by: Deuce on December 16, 2011, 02:14:40 PM
That looks like Theodore Bruckner from the FW range. He looks perched very high up there - I think the positioning is causing a lot of the problem. The saddle rises very high above the back of the dragon and it's positioned above the forearms which looks strange. If the saddle were slimmer and he were seated further forward it might look more natural. I think this is a problem with the dragon plastic kit as the rider on there also looks a bit weird.

Perhaps a higher throne-like back on the saddle might help to offset the height problem, if not?
Title: Re: Chumley Warner Empire Images - The Young Karl Franz
Post by: mr chumley warner on December 16, 2011, 02:39:23 PM
Ok so, section sawed from neck of dragon, neck angled forward to allow more room, to mount KF lower down directly.

Armour highlighted further, and purple emblems changed to red.

Human beings often have tunnel vision,

people think they have created something good, or are good at something, but fail to see the mistakes, or that they missed something crucial.

You get wrapped up in your own ideology too easily .

I like criticism, it gives you insight into how to improve

Whar really could help is if you create something bulky up in front of him....a shield or another big and chunky device and put some reins on it ...those reins you could put in his empty hand.

Title: Re: Chumley Warner Empire Images - The Young Karl Franz
Post by: Alleton on December 16, 2011, 04:28:36 PM
I think the sword might look better as another color, it kinda gets lost in all the armor when you look at it from the side. Very excellent painting however, I hope one day to be near this good.

Post by: Siberius on December 16, 2011, 05:59:57 PM
Yup, the colouring on the armour is making it look better and the sword change really helps too.

I have to admit, I too feel like it is just missing some reigns, especially as his hand is kinda out there not doing anything. The difficulty would be where  they'd attach on the dragon. Not seeing a really obvious choice, though maybe a 'bit' like on a horse mouth could work...

The model is much improved after your alterations. I wouldn't have been able to pin down what I didn't like about it first time around, just that it seemed 'unbalanced', but now it looks good. I like fantasy models to still look like they would 'work' in a physical world.

An excellent addition to your fine collection. Will he be fielded in battle?

I think it would be neat putting the chain around the dragons lower neck right where you can visibly see the glue and mould lines then placing a shield over top! I think that would look great! Anyways love the brazen armor and the bold purple shows courage incredible work; I hope to one day become as good a painter and modeler as yourself!

That means he will be surprised when my 4K pts includes KF on Dragon!

Do you think KF on Dragon can hold up 50 Orcs single handed?

Try someplace like Michael's or Hobby Lobby (Not sure what they would be called over the pond, a craft store of some kind) check in the jewelry making section, they often have spools of different type/color chain. Or as an alternative, you could buy cheapo necklaces from those little coin operated machines you see in the entrance of grocery stores.

You painted it! Lovely work!

I have objectively judged your paint job according to the following, widely recognized criteria of Ludenhof-painting (0-10):

Spending ”ages” on snobbish facial expression: 10
Blackness of armour (good choice!): 10
Degree to wich caparison is chosen over the usual barding (unexpected but works well!): 10
The little shields with cherubs and whatnot at his shoulders: 7 (Would have loved to see some more colours on those)
Boldness of not matching falcon sword hilt to crest (falcon crest!): 10

In addition, you get an overall +100 pts bonus for your general drive and wonderful impulsivity, as well as for providing us with vivid descriptions of the angst-laden experiences that fuel your artistic genius:

- i'm on a train and need a number 2


BUT, I will also have to penalise you for this (-100 pts):

I don't like Hochland colour scheme  :mrgreen:
  ::heretic:: ::heretic:: ::heretic::

But overall, that is still well over a 9!

He is OOP as far as I know, they remade Leitdorf (Oddly enough as fluffwise he's dead AND you could make him from the general kit) I wouldn't mind seeing them make more of the older sculpted Electors in finecast. They may so keep an eye out.

Here I looked it up as you still didn't say way TFT is.

Thin Film Transistor (liquid crystal display)

From what I just read, they are a varient of LCD and they have a better image quality than a regular LCD.
Title: Re: Chumley Warner Empire Images
Post by: mr chumley warner on January 11, 2012, 08:35:47 PM
Stop pulling me plank gents, all Laptops have TFT DIsplays in, as do most PC Monitors.

An LCD is basically an LCD TFT, eg. a liquid crystal display with a thin film transistor logic layer.

Each pixel has a small Transistor which switches the cell to allow through a certain amount of light in the desired colour.

I just had this horrible thought that somehow all along Warhammer Empire has been a dream world, locked in time 30 years back , that I somehow accessed, where people have never heard of TFT displays!!

Started age 8 with some old school kit, humbrol etc, 40K aged 11 to 16 on and off, but my painting style lacked quality.

I recall aged 16 starting to paint a deathwing terminator quite well, and feeling i was about to get good!

Then women, d rugs , alcohol , study, university all took precedent,

I got back into this for the painting initially , with a quick spell in 2004 for a few months, but then again a couple of years ago,

Just ran with it as you can see from my PLOG,

the first models i painted  2+ years back were the Empire Plastic Knights,

you can see my effort in the PLOG at the start,

i didn't know the difference between panthers and reiksguard , so the shields and heads are all mixed up, but the colours and blue and yellow - nordland ish...

http://t0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcT3GDbIcdu7Zbi246ss_28Q6utekKakkuCam7RIKSSlyI_0wU7H (http://t0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcT3GDbIcdu7Zbi246ss_28Q6utekKakkuCam7RIKSSlyI_0wU7H)


I have tried painting horse eyes like that, but they usually end up looking like a black dot.  Making them look a bit more like a human eye helps to differentiate the eye from the rest of the face, IMO.  If anyone asks, just say, 'hey, its fantasy!'

7 Artillery pieces , some scout and vanguard distractors, and a solid troop base, plus flaggie trap ,

hoping that the opponent will be forced to advance on me,

HBVG's protect the flanks and War machines with 1 engy each ,,,,,

the Walter and Genesus smash the enemy on the centre left, and can deal with anything given my loadout.

The army can handle monsters, elites, large hordes, characters and fast movers

I like the symmetrical (or semi-symmetrical) approach, it might distract your opponent if they were hoping to deploy against a "main" strength, I think I will try it next time. I've been away for a while, what is the Genesus business? It sounds like a general on a Pegasus. Is there a particular item combination that makes him awesome?

Genesus   (gen on peg)   130
FPA + Sh      15
Holy Relic      45
Sw of Power      40

=====================

I use him to get in for a scrum!

He can tie up enemies,

2+ save + 4 + ward and St 6 ,
Title: Re: Chumley Warner Empire Images
Post by: mr chumley warner on January 17, 2012, 07:13:30 AM
I'm hoping that the pistoliers and huntsmen will provide enough distractions to see some enemy units detract from the main force or get held up for a few turns .

Giving me a chance to pound them more with artillery.

The Walter, Genesus , and Greatswords move forward and engage key targets

ideally hordes of 100 Goblins etc, which they can work through in time,

the heavy duty Orc's in units like 50 off will be softened with multiple artillery , and then crazied/halberded / magic attacked,

leaving the cannon+ hbvg's to eat monsters,

the VHS on Walter will pick out and eat enemy characters

I'm just not comfortable using the Hochland, it's got less chance of killing an enemy character than a bolt of lightning from the blue!

You would require 10 engineers stood there with Hochlands to make a dent!

Even then a strong character with good Ward Save would stand up to it easy!

Basically you should see little to no white, unless they are upset or scared. I usually just do almost the whole thing with a brown ink or smoke glaze, and a dot of white for a reflection. Or, just a big black/brown dot that takes up all but the corners, leaving the wee-est bit in white.

It is not problem for GW standard it is about price because every person would say when he should pay : "It is to much for me" (even if you ask ok price), But when is work of that person (even if is lower then yours) he will say:" That is good price for you"
So I think that is question about standardization of price for some level of painting (how much hours cost, materials and can painter make it enough for living and be professional )
Example for about GW standard you ask about 8-10 pounds per foot soldier etc. (so if someone wish he will know either to paint or asko for commission)
If someone fix that question you will know the answer  :engel:

The emperors chosen guard, a standing unit of 200 able men, plucked as elites from successful battles up and down the land.

Any member must pass a rigorous entry test, and only a small minority each year make it through, some even die  in the famous forest marathon, a 30 mile trek through dangerous beast filled forests!

Although they no longer fight alongside KF, they are called upon when the Empire is threatened by a superior evil.

Clad in Full Plate, these men fight with sword or axe and shield , with such skill and finesse that they move as swiftly as a man in leather armour.

I've got 5 or 6 units (of around 20-25) of those old models, that for the most part need stripping and re-painting.  The trouble for me is they're all a bit mix'n'match style wise, some could pass happily as Empire, some look Bretonnian, others just look out of place, and they're all odd sizes as well.  I think if I set in my mind that they were mercenary units, who just used whatever armour they found adventuring, or had passed down from ancestors, maybe in my mind I could fit them in easier. 

Then again, I need to get paint on hundreds and hundreds of models, so in all likelihood they'll never get re-done

I'm on a similar mission, but with the advantage of having a got a lot of them from when they came out, but with gaps here and there.  From 4th edition onwards, the only stuff I'm missing are the Estalian style handgunners and swordsmen, a couple of the Horse Archer variants, one of the Mordheim Witch Hunters, which is still available from GW online, but you can't pick which if the 4 you get given, and I don't want to buy 10 to get the 1 I want, and end up with duplicates. And some of the rare multipart Sisters of Sigmar variants. I think I have pretty much everything else from 4th onwards.   And quite a lot of the Marauder Miniatures stuff (Which back then would have been used by anyone no-complaints, unlike the is it official or not arguament you get with Forgeworld these days).  And I've got lots of the Citadel Fighter series, some of which was labeled as Empire towards the end of 3rd Edition.  And a handful of pre-slotta stuff which really aren't worth chasing down unless you're truly obsessed and minted.

Of course I'm saying this to illustrate what I've collected, and to show off a little bit,but let me be clear, I'm not selling!  Sorry!

Anyway, decided to see what i could do in one hour, and managed to save 8 of them, by applying some better base coats and then a massive wash to hide the dry brush nastyness.

So far not bad for 1 hours work?

13 more painted chaos warriors arrived from e bay,

i got them real cheap, and expected to touch them up to basic gaming standard,

however the guy seems to have glooped them all by dipping them into some kind of gloss varnish, which in some places is so thick it's not funny~!

i might have to abandon ship and bin them all!

I have to say the new shape chaos plastic models are bulky, lacking in decent detail, and generally boring to paint,

they are just like blobs!

rubbish!

sod chaos!

I'm not sure you are looking at the same Warriors of Chaos models I'm looking at. They are big and bulky, but certainly aren't lacking detail. I've not painted any of them yet, so I can't comment on how boring they are to paint.

wash blue and babac

hair dryer

Best Ogres sculpts ever! I love what you have done with them and it makes me want to get back to my own...I've got 2 left to do.

The only thing I'm not fond of are the bases on these figures.  I would paint the side of the base topper to look like the rocks not the side of the base...makes them look thick and weird IMO.

That is of course a VERY minor critique...over all they are the mutts nuts!

I would agree, I save my green for my 40k Orks.  I was thinking to save some money on paint, I would paint my Empire in the same scheme as my ork army at the time (which was Bad Moonz/ Averland)  But, I have since decided to go with purple and white for my Empire.

I'd believe it. Makes me cry a little on the inside. Hairdryer wizardry notwithstanding, nobody should get such good results so quickly.

And yeah, I agree that the metal knights are superior to the multi-part plastics. I think the plastic kit suffers from being from so long ago - GW multi-part kits nowadays tend to be excellent.

Post by: Deuce on February 10, 2012, 12:19:32 AM
I don't mind the plastic knights - I find some of the newer plastics too cartoony, but the knights are a bit bland. They can't compare to the old metal knights, though. Pretty much everything put out for the Empire in the 90s was fantastic. I get very jealous reading this plog!
Title: Re: Chumley Warner Empire Images
Post by: kwest on February 10, 2012, 12:59:21 AM
Backtracking a little bit to the archers... I think the bret ones would fit in okay if you did some simple conversions.

They're all wearing knee length jackets, tights and plimpsoles so the biggest things that make the brets stand out is the repetative poses and the heads/arms (which could be easily swapped out if you have some spares). Once you did that and used the same colour scheme the unit should blend together pretty well.

It's shame that my talents are not worth money.

I actually have a short attention span, especially with work, hence I am in sales.

I focus on winning a deal, and then as soon as I win, i'm fighting for the next one.

My painting is like this, I want to achieve a good result fast.

using a combi of babac + ogryn flesh,

babac + gryphon,

babac + asurmen blue,

over a mix base of scorched brown + boltgun ,

then highlight skull white + mythril 50/50

Title: Re: Chumley Warner Empire Images
Post by: Hoodling on February 13, 2012, 10:49:31 PM
Presumably "babac" is Badab Black?

3 stages of washes with nothing in between... What happens if you mix 3 parts black with 1 part each of ogryn flesh, gryphonne and asurmen, so it can be done in a single stage? Will the result be noticeably different? Will it not be dark enough because it's still only a single layer of wash?

I'd find a pre-mixed pot of that as my dedicated "armour wash" to be far more efficient than having to mix 3 stages and apply them one after another.

Also, it's somehow a relief that you have not yet finished this unit. Probably just because you're perfecting a new method, but hey...
Title: Re: Chumley Warner Empire Images
Post by: valmir on February 13, 2012, 11:40:12 PM
The stages need to be separate, because an important function of the washes is that they tint what's below them. Therefore order becomes important.

Thanks for the description. That bears no resemblance whatsoever to anything I've tried. I think I might be able to adapt it to do what I want...

Thats cheap enough (assuming not recast). I paid almost that for one (equally I picked up some of the rarer variants for £1.49 inc p&p, so make of that what you will).

Its worth remembering that unreleased minis can be more common than some of the limited releases. There seem to be 20 marauder mm66 knights for every mounted Battle Lord and Retainers, even though both same period, and the Battle Lord was general release.

Same guy had 6 or so on a couple of weeks ago - no bids on any of them!


Now, the Mordheim Jester with no legs...that is a model I'd love to get my hands on, and that is purely because it looks a great sculpt rather than its rarity.

Nice knight models, really great to see such rare pieces. But what about the horses and their size. To me they are looking like ponies. Could you please post a pic in which it comes to a comparison between the current barded horses and those steeds (compared to the pistolier horses those do not fit at all either). To my mind the question we have to deal with here is: Shall those beautiful gentlemen be combined with the current crap and fit in the army scheme or would you like to keep rider and mount together for nostalgia (or for another obvious reason: not lowering the value)?

Post by: mr chumley warner on February 23, 2012, 03:27:50 PM

I think they were made for comedic value by Marauder, and never released in shops for sale because the steeds are so small.

Correct me if I'm wrong but weren't warhorses in the middle ages rather small... most tapestries like show knights with their feet practically dragging on the ground.

Quote
Analysis of existing horse armour located in the Royal Armouries indicates the equipment was originally worn by horses of 15 to 16 hands (60 to 64 inches (150 to 160 cm)) -wikipedia

Anywho those minies are awesome to the max!

Not entirely true. They ha to be pretty strong to be able to carry all the weight of the knight in armor and their own barding. If we follow the idea that a horse cannot carry more than 30% of their own weight they had to be pretty big. (link with XVth armor)

That's true, but rich people had less stuff to buy too. No TV, no tablets, no sport cars, no wargaming.... an armour was considered a good asset for everybody that could afford one.

And BTW great collection, I love it!

Now I'm as big an Empire fan boi as you'll come across and have a massive desire for OOP figures. However these knights aren't to my taste despite their rarity. The look far too small and wide with the horses heads being a parody of a horse. I'm glad your pleased with your purchase though ;(

I think you've done a great paintjob.

However you may have answered your own question about why you have never seen them painted on the interweb ..............

Seeing the knight seated does make the horses look particularly small and they would make great mounts for halflings or dwarfs.
Seriously though could anyone use them that way knowing their 'sale' value.


Title: Re: Chumley Warner Empire Images - 2 painted MM66 Knights.

Paintjob is good, but yeah, they really are comically small. Still, all that matters is that you're happy doing them.

Seeing the knight seated does make the horses look particularly small and they would make great mounts for halflings or dwarfs.

I will probably use at least one of mine in that capacity (it helps that I don't have the knights). But I will refrain from converting them just in case.  :engel:

I use as much water as possible.

To the point where it's just about settling on the model without forming water droplets,

eg. the crux point at which uniform coats break apart,

too much water and you know about it, because you can't get a coat on without it breaking up

i probably paint everything with at least 50% water addition,

thin and quick, hair dryer, then more washes, hair dryer, then more wash!

then purity seal,

then quick highlights with very thin brush

then quick basing,

job done ,

speed speed speed

Ok so the bidding got intense,

someone tried a last minute snipe, but I had stacked my bid high as a buffer.

So I won 20 Kislev Winged Lancers, 1 Boris on Bear.

9 Seperate metal bear mounts, lots of horses and the Kislev book.

£165 inc postage.....

=====================

I will have to sell some of these back on e ebay ,

I'll probably keep and paint 5 bear riding Lancers and Boris,

Maybe 5 normal lancers on horse,

and sell 11 lancers + 4 bears

plus the 7 i already have = 18 lancers to sell i guess

LOL

I have a feeling the metal bear steeds were Kislev , but only available in the rear of the old catalogue's , not in shops etc

only steve B can confirm!

ive seen he has like 80 of them!

all my holiday is allocated this year, 2 stag do's 2 weddings, 1 week in Cyprus, and 1 week tbd in europe, then xmas manditory factory down time,

i'll have to arrange a UK game event

lol

maybe in my garage

2 vs 2 empire against evil

That's a shame, all your stuff looks great and I'd love to fight against it!

You should try and get some time off around end of april/early may every year. The eurobash is always great fun. Beer and warhammer for 3 days... and Soth is really the finest host ever.

Yes.  There were never any specific Kislev troop bears, only the Tsar Boris model.

Having said that, the Wood Elf ones were often used for Kislev conversions

LMAO at your calling it the "finew*nk version", although I will probably find myself using said models. I will be buying them for as cheap as I can get, no way am I paying GW hobby center prices if I can help it. The reason I will be getting them?! Weight!! Back when most of my characters were metal, as were my 20+ greatswords, pistoliers and helblaster, my gaming bag used to feel like it weighed a ton!!

Is it the B&Q value stuff? Thats what I use and its bloody awesome. Not quite as good as Nitromors but less than half the price. Needs a good clean with a toothbrush afterwards though and can't be used on plastic as you end up with a pile of goo.

Hi, I like the result you achieved on the armor with the turquoise wash. It's really nice but I don't know how much it fits the model. I think that it is too decadent for a miniature like that. It's an imperial knight with colored feathers on a really colorful horse, I think he takes care of his armor and avoid it deteriorating like that. I would see that effect more on some Undead or Chaos knight than on shiny imperial noblemen...
But that's my opinion, and the painting stays spectacular no matter what!! Great Job

I could trade for some OOP 1987 Reiksguard Knights, 2 of the old schoooool ones and horses, or a Kislev lancer Sergent with mace on horse,

also i could throw in 4 metal Landsknechts from some new company recommended on WE, cant recall name, they look awesome. Also I have 3 bizarre unknown flagellant metal models I found on e bay when drunk,

Indeed.  Size wise, it almost looks like you could fit a demigryph on a normal cav base for a super cool character...  I'm still annoyed beyond belief that the TGM can't ride one... Grr....

That aside, I'm looking forward to your paint job, Chum!

Demigryphs would just about fit on cav base, but don't think they would rank up that well.  For me as a collector more than a player, I don't care much about the rules, only whether thematically any models I do are sufficiently Empire enough

It is very unlikely any character will ride a monstrous mount because of the complexities of the additional wounds; the advantage gained by a Demigryph would simply be the attacks of the mount. Have ANY army book had the option to put a character on the back of a monstrous mount?

Fair point - but that is a legacy. In any case, my question was poorly phrased (for which I apologize); have army books had the option to put a character on a montrous mount which is found in the rank-and-file unit entries? That is, is there an option to put a character in a unit of monstrous cavalry mounted on the same sort of animal, or is it a fudge?

Personally, I would LOVE to see characters on MC and I don't think it would be too difficult to work it out - use the highest of the two W characteristics? How does it work for Pegasus? BUT it might end up being expensive to fit a character on there if the W bonus is lesser. There was a discussion thread that a Demigryph would be worth about 55pts to a character - you could get a whole other DGK for a little more, right?

Post by: Fandir Nightshade on April 12, 2012, 02:01:27 PM
I think you pay 50ish points for a demonic mount.

You use the lower Toughness and this makes Eagle riders of the Elves less awesome than Pegasus riders.

You use the higher of the 2 wounds profiles and the rider's toughness I believe. 

Honestly, 45-50-ish (45 naked, 50 with barding maybe) is probably right around the right number for a character's demigryph mount.  That means the rider is worth roughly 10 points in the unit, which seems pretty fair.

So I bought the Luminark Kit and assembled the wagon.

The detail is amazing, the model glides together , it's genius.

The horses are excellent also, I'm thinking I could do with 20 of them.

The only issue is that I can see it taking me 20 hours to paint, even using my hair dryer speed paint cheating.

So I pitty people who are slower , it could take people days to finish, and will leave a lot of people abandoning the project, especially younger ones, school age etc...

Especially considering it's only actually 120 pts.

Anyway , hats off it's a superb model.

40 hours per week, 6 quid/hour ~ £12K,

not far off

If you worked on that wage you wouldn't be able to eat in a restaurant ever , or drive a car

Interesting perception of wealth. I earn 15.5, and have enough money to do more than "scratch" a living, with a wife and child. (Fine for me starting out at work, and without a useful degree! Compared to the % of other people unemployed at my age group.)

Hobby spend- albeit second hand or special offers. I play hockey, go on holidays (including eurobash) we go out for dinner etc.  We don’t have a car, but when we get a mortgage we will be saving £250 a month over the rent we pay at the moment.
Thankfully my wife is a great bargain hunter. We got our pram for £60 second hand. It was still £400 in the shops. So if you earn 60k, you probably just go “lets spend 800 quid” and then you feel like that is what you need.

You don’t need 60k, but humans spend what they earn. You maybe even feel like you can't afford kids.
I always get annoyed at the bbc articles Written by people earning 40k complaining they are poor.
I also don’t understand the mortgage argument.

If you don’t have a mortgage it means: You are really wealthy and bought a house without one. You are older, and have paid your mortgage off (neither applicable to most people). You are renting somewhere. You live at home. Or you are homeless.
So for most people not paying a mortgage means you are paying rent.

I do have those. And far higher loans to pay back as well, but that's irrelevant.
And my post was intended to point out that it's rather funny when you intend to say somebody pays poorly, you in fact say they DON'T pay crap.


It was certainly not my intention to offend anyone gaining the quoted amounts or less, and people who know me will testify that I respect all people, regardless of their income.

@ Finlay,

Totally agree with everything you have posted mate,

You can see the amount i spend on models,,, I'm just as bad with other stuff, like £50 on the grand national on saturday!

People do live within their means ,

and spend everything they earn,

you budget against your salary basically,

I think it's easy to get stuck in your own bubble,


The problem for younger people now who didn't buy into housing before around the year 2002 is that it doesn't matter what you earn , because buying a house is so f'ing expensive !

Yep.

@ chumley. budget against salary is fine, but then when/if salaries fall, people should realise they have to cut their spending. and it is perfectly viable to do so!


I am in a very lucky position in the housing market because my parents worked so hard and were very successful.

================

Did your folks buy you a house in the past?

==============

My mortgage with my wife is £670/month, so with bills added , like £120 Council wa*k tax and water, eleccy etc, we are down £1100 a month

The UK is pricey

Severn Trent tried to shaft me £550 annual water recently for a 3 bed semi D, lol

I made them install a water meter , and the bill suddenly dropped from their estimated 550 to 350, after a month, ******ers!

lol

===

I'm trying to pay off our mortgage by a reasonable age,

i'd love to take a less well paid less stressful job,

anyway must dash ,

up at 5 am tomoz to visit head office in London for the monthly sales meeting pain !

Title: Re: Chumley Warner Empire Images
Post by: Finlay on April 16, 2012, 04:54:45 PM
No, I am renting at the moment, in Exeter, at £700 a month. £100 council tax. South west water = the highest in the country. Annual bill for a 2 bed maisonette was £800 quid. We are getting a water meter put in on tuesday!

But I have some money fom my dad's pension pot, which will be taken out of my inheritance, to buy a house now. Parents will live off the sale of the family home which is now too big for them.
We can borrow 100k on me and my wife's salary, with repayments of 450 a month, and we are looking at buying a really dilapidated 5bed house and doing it up with the capital.

We should have mortgage paid off at quite a young age- 35 year mortgage now pays it off at 60, and we are never going to earn less than we do now! (early repayment), and having kids early means they should be out the house when we are still reasonably young, and then we can enjoy that time together. that is the plan anyway!

at my job I get 40 days off a year, good pension, good working conditions, and flexible working time. I commute to work in 15 minutes on my bike. So I am very time-rich.

Post by: Byronic on April 17, 2012, 04:04:41 PM
Belated congratulations on being featured bud, nice one :) I'm surprised that you haven't been before, they could probably cover empire for the next 2 weeks with the contents of this thread, even at 3 posts a day!

I'm quite happy that GW included me.

It's a small bit of recognition.

Would they believe me if I told them that the Mordheim Freelancer Knights took me 90 minutes though?

Probably not bud, when they featured my terrorgheist I told Dan in the email that took me a day (maybe 6 hours for you at your speed? :)) and in the article it said it only took me 3, I think they probably get their fair share of people vastly underestimating the time they've spent on things and so take it all with a pinch of salt, which I guess you can't blame them for.

Have you sent in much more of you other stuff?

That horde is one of the best units for the Empire I've seen, absolutely outstanding as ever!

I'd tell you to keep up the good work, but you don't seem to need any more fuel for your machining out models :)

Sorry, Chum - but it's pretty obvious. The two images are not merely similar, they are pixel identical when lain over each other, with the only difference being on the ankles. Certainly, the shots would be similar - but not identical.

Also, the filenames of the two images are IMG_5543 and IMG_5543-1, which suggests a simple shopping of the image.

2. Those blue icons on the horse neck armour - are they twin-tailed comet symbols?

1.  The large wheels go on the front as the rear axle is lower to the ground than the rear, it should mean a level platform though.  It may be that chumley has positioned the lascannon with a lean.  And front is determined by having the loops for the chains that the link to the horses, to pull it along

2.  Yes, they are part of the sculpt

go light brown or cream, then heavy wash , hair dryer...

once that is dry , the shadows are there for you ready,

all you have to do is start adding colour then ,

it's fast and effective

I could only identify this one , as having been a green designed by GW ...

I don't know who cast it etc.

The other 2 models on e bay I couldn't find any verification of .

No idea how much the hard tools for metal models cost.

Lots I expect

Title: Re: Chumley Warner Empire Images - Unreleased Empire Spearman :)
Post by: mr chumley warner on April 26, 2012, 04:42:25 PM
from another post i found

=================

Main issues: Capital and Tooling $'s and volume.

Metal molds are low tech. I believe that GW uses rubber molds to produce metal models that they can make in house. The molds break down over time and require replacement but are cheap to make compared to the plastic molds.

It takes longer to produce metal models than plastics. You pour your motlen metal and wait for it to harden then remove them from the mold. The forces you to make them in smaller batches and the parts can become easily distorted if they are removed from the mold too soon.

Originally Metal molds allowed for greater detail then plastics, but as the more recent plastics have proven, that gap has all but closed.

Plastics require a significant "non-recurring" cost in the form of Machinery (injection mold machines) and tooling (machined metal matched dies). This makes it very difficult to justify making any low volume models in plastic. The models have to sell at a price and volume where they make back the cost of the tooling and cover the cost and maintenence of the machinery without pricing it too high for thier target customers' budgets.

Plastics can be made quicker and in larger batches with fewer quality problems than metals. So the per model cost is cheaper but then you spread your non-recurring costs across them and the cost can be similar or higher than metals depending on volume. This is why the majority of plastics are rank&file/troop units because they will sell at the highest volumes allowing them to pay for themselves and make a profit while remaining at reasonable prices.

The process and cost of making the tooling for plastics has become more efficient so we're seeing more and more plastics coming out for units that are outside of the troops/Rank&File units. But its still more cost effective to leave named characters and other low volume models as metals. So we'll still be seeing them even though plastics are more desirable to most of their customers.

Love what you've done with Radagast, esp his base, the higher base almost completely disguises the fact that he is a smaller scale than the other models, might have to try something similar to elevate mine, as he looks a little shrimpy amongst the plastic rank and file.

Btw is the skirmish tray home-made or did you butit from somewhere?

Btw very nice 80's knights  :eusa_clap:

Very little is known of the lands referred to as Grand Cathay since travel and trade between the Old World and Cathay is so dangerous.
"The capital and seat of the Dragon throne of Cathay is Wei-jin. The worship of Tzeentch is legal and widely practised in Cathay, albeit in less extreme forms than the worshiping practices of the Northmen. To the east of Cathay across the sea lies Nippon whom Cathay has often warred with. The Cathayans have built a giant wall called the Great Bastion to keep out incursions of Hung raiders from the northern Chaos Wastes. The Cathayans have fought many wars against the Dark Elves and their fleets, though little other contact with the more traditional Warhammer races is reported, save for traders traveling overland (along the silk road through the Dark Lands) from the Old World. Other locations mentioned in Cathay are the Mountains of Heaven, where giant animated statues of the Cathayan Gods guard temples, in much the same way as Ushabiti do in Nehekhara."

Whether this depiction of the land of Cathay is true or not has yet to be seen.

While little is known of Cathay's military capabilities, it is known that an army of (supposedly) 100,000 men were assembled to invade Lustria, the home of the Lizardmen. Out of these 100,000 men, only 1 man returned. It is unknown whether a follow-up campaign was initiated.

Love the 80s Foot Knights, great models and lovely job  :::cheers:::



**For stripping metal/plastics I use Brown Dettol (has to be the brown stuff). Fill a small container with half the bottle and leave overnight or for a day or two and then carefully use a toothpick to slide the paint off. It can be time consuming but if you rub it with a toothbrush it can turn the paint into a sticky ball and it's hard to get off. It's a cheap and safe way of doing it, a big bottle is only around £4 and is a good alternative to simple green which is an American product  :-P

For example I've had this Halbadier mini (see picture below) in this pot for around 6 months, he wasn't needed and I forgot about him. Has done no damage to the plastic

http://i.imgur.com/qD0PA.jpg

As you can see from the picture there are areas where the paint needs picking out and sliding off using a toothpick, if you brush it it tends to smear the paint across the miniature into a sticky mess and can be harder to remove.

Hope that helps  :::cheers:::

What kind of camera do you use?  If it happens to be a DSRL camera you can most likely shoot your pictures in RAW format, and manually set your white balance afterwards. Is so nice to never again have to worry about yellow pictures, because of wrong white balance.

Don`t know if its a dslr you are using, but thought Id mention it, just in case it happens to be the case.

Dslr= digital single lens reflex -- the ones that look like a camera should :smile2:

As for the Valten minis I prefer the pose of the second one. Both look great though. Also on a side note I think the Warhammer Quest Barbarian would make a nice young Valten, change his sword for a hammer and he would look great as well.

I like him, as usual Chum.  2 comments - I think the eye shadow is a touch dark, particularly under the eye.  If you're going for the exhausted champion of Sigmar, then you're good.  A little highlight on the top of the cheeks may help?  The second bit concerns the gold and the hair.  Looking at the shoulderpad vs. the hair, it appears that they are very similarly shaded.  Any chance you could brighten up the gold?  I like the more neutral hair color.

As always, just personal preference ;-)

I had a flirt with CMON again, bad move. Posted Valten on foot, and he got a reasonable score for the simple paintjob.

Then I improved the image and added some detail, re posted and he got slated, like 4/10, the same score as other models which are painted without any highlights or washes etc.

Ridiculous.

So I used a cunning proxy server , routed via china, and gave myself 40 votes at 10/10,

stick that up your bum CMON,

They have this inner circle of judges who always vote straight away.

You get a flurry of votes within the first hour that your image goes live, usually 15-20,

if those people see you re post or simply dont like your work, it gets tarded.

Now I recall why I hate that website !

I'm gonna post a really bad model on there and give it 500 votes at 10/10 , then sit back and laugh, and take all my other ones off.

I also didn't like the Yellow Robe, something wouldn't let me stop thinking about changing it.

So I tried red, then wasn't happy, and had to add some runic symbols and a band of colour, then the hat had to change , and the beard LOL

happier now

Wat u recon?

Now that was not the usual 2 hour monkey job!

That looks even better than it did before. Definite  :::cheers:::

The only thing that bugs me slightly now is that his grey robes are kinda too light for a grey wizard. They look like something a light wizard could wear. I'd really prefer them a touch greyer. Less white looking. That is literally the only thing I am unsure of though. Overall, it is spiffy.

Much better with the red. What I like best is the runes you did. At this size on a 28mm figure! You must have really steady hands.

Do you still use an actual brush for teeny work like this?

Also, the NMM is great. I never know how to do NMM because I lack the understanding of how the light would fall. But I think I have a new reference now if I ever want to attempt it.

ok so for the sword, i paint it all Enchanted Blue,

then I decide where the light will be hitting each edge, and paint pure white in a small area on each edge section.

i then work 50/50 Ench Blue and White on the 2 or 3 mm between the white and Ench Blue , and Black in the dark areas , equally just a few mm ,

using a very fine brush i basically then start using a graduating scale,

so next to the white and 50/50 ench blue / white comes 75/25 white /ench blue etc,

some of the edges get pure white lined,

in the dark areas i blend from ench blue to black,

i have on my ceramic palette a wodge of watery blue and watery white, and mix shades in between as i go ,

some times i blend, but mostly i think i am creating the effect you see by use of very fine layering,

it then gets a very thin gloss water varnish,

seems to work well on camera ,

as you can see it's only the 2nd blue NMM sword i have done,

i'll try some more colours next , maybe a yellow and a grey NMM weapon,.

I chopped off the sword and re positioned it , so that in photos you would see the blade , rather than it being a flat cross section,

you can check other peoples Kurts on CMON , who didn't re position the blade.

The NMM looks great as far as I can tell!  Can you explain your thought process behind all the bright contrasting colors?  Makes the model look like a bag of skittles to me, regardless of how well it's painted (the Green on his helmet and the purple cloak look swank, I don't know about the yellow).

I like your stab at it.  I would have painted the horse white or black so the barding would stand out better,  since the horse is a similar color it looks like it and the barding are one.    I think some of the golds need more reflective contrasting darks to give the appearance of metal.

''I like your stab at it.  I would have painted the horse white or black so the barding would stand out better,  ''

i just mocked up a white and black horse by using a brush tool,

the black looks off, but your right, the white makes the model better,

i'll implement this soon and re post!

Post by: Dosiere on May 24, 2012, 05:54:34 PM
Disclaimer: I am not usually a fan of NMM, and I usually avoid giving feedback about a paint job I will never have the skill to pull off myself.  However, my take on it:

Positives:

The sword and armour of the knight look great.  The sword in particular looks awesome to me.  Actually, the more I look at it I think the silver armor looks just as good.  Wish I could do that!

The non metal stuff really pops, in a good way.  The purple, green, and red are all smooth and highlighted well. 

Hopefully Constructive Criticisms:

The green is highlighted with too much white.  It looks fine on its own, but the red and purple are not highlighted to the same degree and next to each other it looks off.  I would have used more yellow than white when brightening up the green, or maybe just not highlighted it quite as much, unless you take the red and purple to the same stage.  I hope that made sense.

The red and gold armor of the horse needs a little work.  It just looks like red and yellow to me, rather than NMM.  The similarity of the horses tail to the gold armor illustrates this I think.  Most NMM jobs I have seen are done by painting the armor with the light highlighting it from a certain angle, just like you did with the sword.  It looks like you highlighted the gold and red armor all over, which makes it look just like anything else painted yellow or red.

Finally, I really don't know about the colors.  Everything on its own looks great, but it's hard to keep your eye on any part of the model for long.

The armour looks very good! So I can't really figure why you have painted the sword in blues rather than silver...
Also the gold need more highlight of something almost white, as well as some dark brown shading.

Hi Guys,

I know I have moaned before about CMON, but I put a few recent images up.

Anyway, yesterday every image was simultaneously voted on around 10 times, using 1/10.

My Empire Heroes Ride Out image went from 7.7/10 to 6/10 etc.

I asked the admins to look at the voting history and retract the obvious hatred votes from the evil player hater i seem to have aquired!

They actually did , and today me pics are back to normal scores before they were tampered with.

It's the same t*at that caused me to withdraw 30 images previously.

He just votes via proxy servers, 1/10, refresh, 1/10, refresh, 1/10, refresh etc etc

I really like your heroes, by the way. The golden parts on Kurt's wings = magic!

Post by: mr chumley warner on May 30, 2012, 07:41:53 AM
yeah i had a dialogue with one of their admins who insisted that I was wrong and that people can't proxy vote.

So I told him I would show him how it is done, and picked an image which to be fair had 3 entries from slightly different angles, all 9+/10, and then routed via china on a switching IP proxy server and spam voted 1/10 about 30 times...

He didn't like me, lol

Feel honoured that some f*ckwit has chosen you as a focus as he has nothing better to do with his life than log on to servers and vote on a model thats true stalker behavior  :ph34r:
Just a quick question why have anonymous voting the logical way would be 1 account1 vote and to get the account you must submit one pic to show your not a bot/griefer ?

This is exactly what I stipulated to the Admin at CMON, why don't you specifically allow for 1 vote per registered logged in member at one chosen IP address for that member.

They gave me some fluff about how overall in the grand scheme of things voting averaged out.

Which I replied was nonsense as clearly all my images had been targeted by a weirdo !

I assume that manipulated pics, voting pacts, vendettas, proxy-voting etc. will impact on the voting results in a system like that. The results won't just reflect others' opinions on the quality of your paint job.

I know you're pretty stressed out, but maybe you should consider entering real life painting competitions, if you want to paint more competitively?

There is a good number of people out there contaminating the gene pool who gain sick pleasure in ruining peoples fun be it in online games with glitches and mod's or trolling on facebook, so why give him the satisfaction of winding you up when you go on cmon? you have a huge amount off possitive feed back from the guys on this site, if you fancy more feed back why not ask this sites admin if they could do a cmon type page in order to top up your tan from basking in all that glory  :icon_redface:

Post by: ZeroTwentythree on June 10, 2012, 04:00:59 AM
I'm going to commit a bit of heresy and admit that I actually don't like most of the MM humans. I find the proportions to be too far off, even for GW, and the poses really static. Even when they look like they are supposed to be swinging weapons, the limbs are stiff and not reflective of actual human motion. I'm more forgving (and fond of) the ogres, dwarfs and hobbits from the same series simply because there are no real life equivalents to compare to. :wink: As far as the humans go, I think that some of the old GW "Fighters" range captured a lot of "character" and uniqueness, but with (marginally) better proportions and sense of movement. But that series was sculpted by larger group of sculptors, too.

Not criticizing the painting here at all, as it's top notch.  :::cheers:::

There are a few gems (in my opinion) in the MM series, though. In fact, I am still hunting for the middle guy, with the greatsword...

Completely agree with 023 about the look of those old models, and even in liking the guy with the greatsword! The guy next to him in Chumley's picture, the one in plate with two weapons also looks good IMO. Dynamic pose but not so much the unrealistic/unnatural pose.

And of course, great painting as usual!

I have to agree with the fact that the models are not proportioned and the movement not realistic, but the weapon, the armors and the clothes are IMO way better than the ones now. They are clearly historical but still fantasy in some way, not like the stuff now that has went too far into the high fantasy/manga style...

I too was sceptical about that model, never really liked it, but those purple flames look really good. They do make him look a bit evil though, together with the skull staff he could be some chaos cultist.

I like the purple lighting effect except for the face. Makes him look clownish, or like he fell asleep with his face in a raspberry pie.

Love that mini. Flames look oddly great in purple too.

As an aside, looks better photographed against the black / grey background than the white.

Well I still can say that this mini in my opinion is not of the best gw has made. But I really like the additional colors used!! It gives a different point of view and looks much better that been with normal fire color!

Love the mini - I agree with you Mr CW. The model is much better in your hand than in the photos GW have put out. However, although your paint job is up to your usual very high standard I dislike the colour choices - sorry no offence meant just my honest opinion. I have no issue with the flames being non-conventional colours but the choice of non-traditional colours for the robes of a bright wizard is something I can't get my head around. I stress again the painting is great and better than what I could do its the colours you've used for the robes that is my issue - had you considered red or orange ones ?

I also have this model half painted as I am having "fun" with the flames in the newer realistic but inside-out to my way of thinking and traditional painting style. Keep up the good work Mr CW as I have a slightly competitive nature (in a nice way) with regards to your blog with regards to collecting and painting although I stress I am losing very badly.

Not to be a curmudgeon but don't flames work the other way round. They are white at the base and red at the extremities.

I also, personally, don't like the colour scheme. Purple flames good, blue roads bad. I know that the blue/purple paint scheme you are happiest with, but seriously, what kind of bright wizard would wear blue. Assuming he didn't have an accident when doing his washing with some jeans.

I think he would look better with either very light yellow or orange clothing.

Black background defo better for snap.

I approve of the wrong colored and inverted flames! There are real world examples of different colored flames as well. Putting copper in a fire produces a green flame. Maybe he's got something on his clothes that make the flames burn purple and not just from magic. I don't know what element would cause purple flames if even there is one, but flames other than yellow/orange/red are definintely not out of the realm of possbility.

I know lots of people don't like the fig, but he's one of my favorites. I hope to get one for myself someday.

EDIT: Ah there it is Potassium Salts make flame burn purple!

I got most of mine in the good old days when you would find metal minis sold in batches on ebay of anything from 5 -20 models, and if you paid more than a £1 a figure it was expensive ............. :closed-eyes:

These days I will trade - I have several duplicates of figures and will consider swapping the spares for ones I haven't got.

However I do have to say that Chumley's enthusiasm and work has revived my interest in them, and I have retrieved stuff from boxes in dark dingy cupboards and done some sorting out and counting, and I am looking at some sort of inventory so I know exactly what I do have.

I don't think it was an issue of the imagery being "solidified" so much as Bretonnia and Empire being too chronologically similar in earlier editions of the game (as well as WFRP.) One was based on 15th century France, one was 15th century Holy Roman Empire. When 4th edition came out, they just notched Empire up to the 16th century, presumably for a bit of a different look.

I've been looking at how GW used to paint their old 1980's Fighter F Series ranges in White Dwarf.

They used to use Blues, Reds, Yellows and Greens all in one unit, which is quite bizarre but also quite liberating for a painter!

I'm definitely interested in collecting all the old Fighter Series.

If you look at the original White Dwarf listings, around White Dwarf 85-90 the Fighters which appeared in adverts were later amalgamated into smaller general listings, in the catalogues from 1989-91.

Originally they had fighters, paladins, dogs of war etc.

Later they listed them as Adventurers , mixing up the models , hand picking some from earlier releases, like the scenario stuff - tragedy of mcdeath for instance...

I would anticipate needing about £1000 to collect the entire range.

It has to be about 200 models.

here is a thought for you!

If you own enough of the 1980's - 1990's Citadel Fighter Series, and the Marauder Series, then paint them all; you would have enough different troops to be able to simply hand pick 50 of any troop type for a battle.

You would effectively have 300 - 400 painted metal models with various weapons.

Eg. I need 30 archers , no problem.

I need 60 Swordsmen , easy

It's got duplicates of the sergent, the man catcher and the guy eating a sandwich!

Any1 want to swap me an HF2 for one of the above??

They are mostly old 1960's and 70's builds , with horrible toilets, and crumbling car parks.

The third guy in from the left is my favorite model. With the blonde beard and the greatsword. I think my freind showing me that model is what got me into warhammer anyway  :icon_mrgreen: someday I need to get one

I get the same thing with models like the Warhammer Quest noble or the Mordheim Elven mage. Or when I discover some old computer game I absolutely love and already own in some back corner of a shop.

Yes! I hate it when models are facing diagonally. Even in the days of the 6th ed starter set, models would rank up perfectly fine facing forward, but everyone would glue them at an inexplicable 45 degree angle.

Probably because back then there were only diagonal slotta bases.  Well sort of, you could cut out a parallel slot, as the base gave you the option, but it came with the diagonal alredy cut, and cutting the parallel, weakens the base and leaves gaps that have to be filled.  Matches were good for that though

Wasn't until around the time those halberdiers were phased out that parallel slot bases came along, and of course solid bases for the newer plastics.

To be honest they do need trimming and filing a bit to fit into the parallel slots, so it's a bit of effort, though finding any that are unglued into diagonal slots is very rare

Liking the video. Some of that old artwork is fantastic, along with the superb painting of course! And that Iron Maiden song goes very well with the Empire! I'm sure if they got a bit wet, those colours would run though :-p

Yes! I hate it when models are facing diagonally. Even in the days of the 6th ed starter set, models would rank up perfectly fine facing forward, but everyone would glue them at an inexplicable 45 degree angle.

Probably because back then there were only diagonal slotta bases.  Well sort of, you could cut out a parallel slot, as the base gave you the option, but it came with the diagonal alredy cut, and cutting the parallel, weakens the base and leaves gaps that have to be filled.  Matches were good for that though

Wasn't until around the time those halberdiers were phased out that parallel slot bases came along, and of course solid bases for the newer plastics.

To be honest they do need trimming and filing a bit to fit into the parallel slots, so it's a bit of effort, though finding any that are unglued into diagonal slots is very rare
The 6th ed figures came on solid bases though to be glued freely. I'm amazed at how many I see on ebay that have been glued on at an angle. The first thing I do on buying any is to detach them and reglue so that they're facing forward. With the handgunners you could make a feature of it, but on the spearmen it just looks stupid.

I'm trying to track down an affordable source of parallel 20mm slottas for rebasing older figures, since most of them seem to come by default with the diagonal ones. Very frustrating. (That said, I have just had to stick a WK Dwarf on a base diagonally, because there was no way to rank him up otherwise).

With the plastic halberdiers I put as many as I can onto "unit filler" bases so that they rank up more nicely, but I'll still need a few on the 20mm bases and they're proving a pain in the neck, as they were obviously designed to rank up diagonally (for the love of god, why?)

...

So, yeah, Marienburg militia. Those are very nice. But then you knew that.

Maiden are the only band i've ever found who have spanned 4 decades and still going stronger than ever, and who when I listen to their tunes, at least 50% are amazing,

maybe i should do a version with blood brothers also , let me go and see!

You're forgiven of course, primarily because those halberdiers look excellent, and because they don't rank up without being placed diagonally.

what i have learned is that as long as your base coats are thin, they don't even need to be accurate ,

a 3 stage wash will totally fix any glitches ,

hair dried each time,

therefore you can speed paint very fast

the highlights accentuate the colours and finish the job,

i recon i could nail 50 men to that standard in 12 hours

I always try and base a model so that their face is looking forward, i.e to the middle of one edge, And if their body is facing another direction, it doesn't matter so much, as you tend to look at where the face is looking anyway

Post by: FR1DAY on July 08, 2012, 08:15:11 AM
in 6th edition with it's totally game breaking rules. Have a HBVG really made it better as well. Long run up ram and then next turn blast the unit in the face. Just don't charge a unit with a vampire lord with GW in as he turns it into a pile of scrap in one turn. It used to have 30 hit points, took damage of model strength + D6 minus 8 for its armour if i remember.

They are very empire but have never given one ago in 7th or 8th. Really should i suppose.

I normally don not add so much detail.  I have a lot of that stuff still lying around. not the gun obviously.  :engel:

There are other variations as well aren't there?

Sigmar's Hammer (Had a different Chimney top, and no turret or main gun)
Old Reliable (Had a standard mast, Helblaster gun barrel and different equipment sprue)
Implacable (Had a mortar, steam gun and different equipment sprue and chimney top)
Von Zeppel (Different chimney top, equipment and of course the shooting platform thing)

Someone who has these would probably be able to say what the full differences between them were.

Some1 offered me a model which has never been released , and said that they would only sell it to me if i didn't sell it on or advertise it online.

He wanted too much for it .

It's not for gaming reasons , it's for the display cabinet element.

They look nice IMO on skirmish tray arrangements. You can see them individually.

If I play a game i use normal movement trays.

Post by: mr chumley warner on July 19, 2012, 03:44:34 PM

It fascinates me that every person has a favourite Warhammer army type in mind, eg. for me back in 40K days I would only ever have considered Space Marines, it felt natural. Then 3 years ago getting into painting Warhammer, after a 20 year break, I looked at the GW website and thought, Empire, for sure, only Empire suits me.

On the other hand I know a guy who was 100% Eldar and only considers High Elves, and another guy who is Chaos crazy.

If I ever watch Lord of the Rings I always ask people who they would be if they were in the film, for me I would be Boromir, even though he dies ! lol

Why do people gravitate towards certain armies?

Is it a psychological profile thing?

Title: Re: Chumley Warner's Empire - The unseen MM61 model
Post by: Delthos on July 19, 2012, 08:37:52 PM
For me it's not a psychological profile thing, at least I don't think it is.

I have Empire, Warriors of Chaos, Tomb Kings, and just a little bit of a Daemons army. At one time I had Bretonnians, they were my first in fact. All very different armies that play differently. Currently I'd say Empire is my favorite.

For 40k, I have Eldar, IG, and I suspect I'll get Dark Eldar at some point. The Eldar are two fast finesse armies, but the IG isn't. Eldar were my first 40k army. Eldar by far are my favorite 40k race/army.

So just basing it on first armies, Eldar have a different play style than Bretonnians do, so I don't think it is a psychological profile thing. Sure there has to be something that draws you to an army or turns you off another. Who knows? Of course, I'm a person who gets more than one army for every game I play, so maybe that in and of itself is part of the psychological profile?

medical establishment has little or no thorough understanding of ultimately treating psychological conditions, mostly medication is used to mask the symptoms,

I'd say that grown men obsessing over toy soldiers is "a psychological profile thing" altogether.  :-)

Anyway, I have always liked the Empire best. I guess different people look for different things in their armies: aesthetics, gameplay, strength, variety etc.

BTW, it is really interesting to follow your collection project. I don't always comment, but I try to keep up and look at everything. Very informative and superb painting as always.

I've got two as well, plus a third with wings the same as the old Deathclaw. 

My oldest one though, is old enough that it's pewter rather than white metal, so a little soft, and the top heavy nature meant the legs got really weakend, and bent out of shape.  I've now got a piece of clear tubing a bit of old paintbrush protector holding it up as a kind of third leg.

I had re-pinned them and that strengthed it for a while, but it eventually started leaning forward, and now there is severe metal fatigue.

Anyway, some inspiration for how to paint it, check out my plog, I used to have it white with rainbow wings, then did a more sensible scheme for a conversion competition

I have this model, but I seriously converted it into a horse (new hooves, removed the wings etc.)

I have since cannibalized it for parts, but I still have the guts of the model . . . I am thinking some kind of "shattered statue unit filler" is indicated!

I can understand removing the wings and making it some kind of (very) imposing horse for a general or something but remove the hooves? Why?

Very nice Chumley, really like the pattern on the feathers.

For a short while a variation was sold for High Elves.

Much like the old Eltharion was a wing swap of Deathclaw (almost, slightly different griffon)

http://www.solegends.com/citcat1997/1997p162-02.htm

Those two wing sets were interchangable

Mystery solved! Those are the same as the Empire mounts but with the wings swapped over. So I have an Elf pegasus with an Empire rider. I still can't believe I never noticed that!

Anyway, Mr CW has done a lovely job on that model, you don't see many non-white Pegasi and I am more than tempted to copy him :)

However, I suspect you have more painted than me, certainly a higher percentage painted.  I struggle to find time to paint, and can't seem to get much done at a quality level I am satisfied with in that little amount of time

Nothing particularly rare in there, those are 4th edition spearmen, nothing limited or rare at the time they were in production.  I think that's way over value really.  I know the 4th ed spearmen don't turn up as often as a lot of other 4th ed stuff, but they're not that rare.

My armour recipe for Silver in brief:

Skull White SPray Undercoat

Boltgun Metal + scorched brown 50/50 base.

Wash Gryphon, hair dry,

Wash blue watered down, hair dry,

Purity Seal spray ,

highlight Mythril + White 50/50

-==============

sometimes I mix this up and try different mix than the scorched brown

but generally I like my armour to look weathered and rusty ish..

Don't see them for sale that often plus the large number of them would create a high price but even so that's incredibly high. Someone obviously wanted them badly  :lol:

Does anyone know why they are referred to as Ersaltz /Ersatz on some ebay listings?

Edit** just found the answer myself, looked at some of my 4th ed plug foot soldiers and they have Ersatzsolder on the tab (Ersatzsolder - Militia drawn from urban areas. Can be armed with halberds, spears or pikes)  :::cheers:::

Statements like that really bug me sometimes. That's got everything to do with your painting style, relying on washes of paint so much. Of course it's going to be more difficult to finish to a good standard with black primer/undercoat with your style of painting.

Those crossbows definitely don't have the look of your normal work though. They are definitely duller and less bright.

I need some1 to prove to me that black under coating works, as when I try it, i feel that I have to add more layers of paint to achieve colour, and in doing so detract from the quality of the finished model.

Title: Re: Chumley Warner's Empire- Xbows
Post by: Delthos on August 14, 2012, 03:45:14 PM
My problem is that you are making a generalization about black primer, implying that everyone will have the same problem you have. That's just not the case. You make that claim based on your experiences and your technique. However, it doesn't take into account other people's experiences and techniques, which by all accounts are very different from your's. Sure your technique is fast and produces good results, but it is by no means the only technique nor the best technique.

It doesnt matter what color primer I use, it takes me the same amount of time and effort to get a model to a state I like. My preference is actually for gray right now as I can see details easier when painting, as white and black make details more difficult for me to see. Other than the short speed improvment gained from seeing the details easier in the first place, prior to putting on my base colors, my style doesn't change how much effort it takes to get to a final product I'm pleased with.

For you, white is best, for someone else black is best, but I find it highly unlikely any one will ever be able to prove that one color primer is always best nor one color should never be used. Please just stop claiming absolutes.

I have used both black and white primers. I find that using white or a light colored primer forces me to paint better.  With black I would miss areas on the mini and just saying it would look like shadow, now when I look at them I see all these black voids where I was too lazy to paint. When I use white primer areas that I missed with paint immediatly pop out at you and I correct it.  I do use black primer for my knights though, and some scenery.

Not to toot my own horn but I'm fond of how these turned out...from a black basecoat.

Now I would never claim that my system is anywhere near as quick as yours but I prefer the much more saturated colors I achieve using black primer (or dark Grey) over white. YMMV...different strokes for different folks and all that...

I agree with what Delthos is saying and I think Blue proved the point.

Having said that, I prefer white myself. I use a lot of washes. Also, a model undercoated white is more inviting, it feels classic and nice. (A purely subjective remark, of course.)

Anyway, good work as always, Chumley. I like the wizwagon a lot. Xbows do seem a bit dull compared to your normal results though.
Title: Re: Chumley Warner's Empire- Xbows

From one of the older How to Paint guides

Quote
Black is often used by people who want good results relatively quickly and , as such, is ideally suited to painting a large number of models at one go. The chief advantage of a black undercoat is that the deepest recesses can be left black to provide the darkest level of shading - this gives a very pleasing look without a great deal of effort. However some colours don't paint well over black, and all colours will tend to look less bright, which means it is sometimes necessary to repaint selected areas white and then apply your chosen colour.....think of black undercoats as best for mass painting and for painting models that are going to end up very dark or black, such as Dark Angels or Black Templar Space marines.

I prefer to paint onto white as I find it easier to paint lighter colours, such as yellow or white, without too much effort and use washes for shading and depth. However I'm not a great painter, I just use what I find easiest to paint onto  :::cheers:::
Title: Re: Chumley Warner's Empire- Xbows
Post by: Blue in vt on August 14, 2012, 08:13:00 PM
 :::cheers::: thanks guys.

An alternative that I think someone here suggested onece was to prime white and then wash with black...therefore filling in the dark recesses with black but leaving a brighter undercoat for the rest of the model...seems logical to me though I haven't tried it myself.

Cheers,

Blue

''more inviting, it feels classic and nice.''

Agree 100% must be personal choice, but a black model looks dull to me, uninviting, and uninspiring ...

Even my Teutogen Guard with Black Armour were undercoated White first.

Black is like a reverse paint job, start with dark shades and work lighter,

With White it's all base coats , then wash for dark depth and contrast , then highlight,

I need to experiment by giving myself a character to paint from black ,

i don't own chaos black spray though, LOL

Exactly. If you start with a white prime, you need to be very precise about laying down your base coats and managing overlaps. Otherwise, you get these odd white gaps between colors... so black has the advantage of not having to deal with that.

The one major disadvantage with a dark prime is that you've got to underlay white or a bright color (or use super-pigmented paints like the old Citadel Foundation paints) to get coverage that's worth a flip.

I'm never 100% precise and the white gaps you talk about get naturally filled by the layers of washes ,

I need some1 to prove to me that black under coating works

Sorry to jump on late mate, but black undercoat works for me. I use it for bringing up metallic and silvery armour parts; when I need bright colors I simply cover the target areas with an additional layer of thin white undercoat after the drybrushing - something you need to do for the adjoining parts after drybrushing anyway.

GW in the 1980's would leave clues for collectors to sculpts which were duplicated with minor differences.

It adds intrigue and collection value.

The tale of the two Barbarian Princes for instance.

One of these sculpts only ever appeared in a White Dwarf listing, but was never in any of the 80's official catalogues!

I think that is because Conan had a big influence on those sculpts. Look at the old Savage Sword of Conan comics and you'll see that he is regularly dressed just about the same. A loin cloth, a big belt, a necklace, and a helmet.

Hello there!

I am very sorry for the inconvenience that this has caused you. Our engineering team is troubleshooting the problem. There was server issue that started on the 2nd of September that is causing many issues on the site (503 error page, images not loading on the site or where they are linked out, gray boxes, slow loading, etc), and our engineers are hard at work on getting that server fixed, as well as a disk drive rebuilt (as it had crashed during that time).

Let me assure you that your account and photos are fine, and will be made available again when this is resolved.

I don't have a time frame for when this will be resolved, but hopefully it will be very soon. Thank you for your patience and again, I am terribly sorry for this inconvenience!

Way way back in the day my friend and I both bought the Heroic Fighters set around the same time.  I was always jealous that he got the two horned Harald in his which looks better then my single horned one.  I also just noticed the hammer is angled differently.

Stuff of Legends isn't an official resource, nor is the collecting citadel wiki. 

GW/Citadel's own catalogues never had the full range.  There was stuff that only appeared in one White Dwarf, Citadel Journal.  20 years ago, it wasn't easy to put together a catalogue with Word processing or Desktop Publshing.  No PDFs or anything like that back then.  Cut and paste was a literally using scissors and glue.  Mail orders would very often come back with offers forstuff you never saw elsewhere, on pastel coloured paper foldout sheets.

Not to mention, stuff sometimes was only mail order or only available in shops, seasonal one offs.  Even now they still have mail order exclusives, games day specials, limited as part of a big box set etc.

Variations could be prototypes put on sale in limited releases, you know there is a lot of unreleased stuff, and the further back you go the harder it is to keep track.  You can be sure to find good resources on everything from 4th edition of warhammer onwards, there's a lot of stuff for 3rd, put the pre-slotta and early slotta stuff often had drawings instead of photos, the first photos were low-res black and white, product numbers have changed for each thing, packaging as well.

You say you're collecting everything for Empire, but you're setting about collecting everything Human, including on top of Empire - Kislev, Norse, Dogs of War (Tileans, Estalians), stuff that pre-dates the current warhammer world setting, that was for D&D and that kind of thing.  A lot of the Empire style - the Landsknect look didn't really get locked in as the style until just before 4th ed around 1989-1990. Before that, it's generic fantasy human. 

I'd also like to get everything for Empire, which I have mostly got from 4th ed onwards, but I'm not that fussed about stuff from before that wouldn't necessarily fit with the current stuff, unless it's stuff I've still got from when I started, and stuff I always wanted back then, but could never afford or get hold of.

how do i get me one of them?!!!

I'm pretty sure Harald with one horn is the more common of the two, so Im sure you'll be able to find one.

I found this on the collecting citadel site, though I could swear there are variations of the other Heroic Fighters as well:
http://www.collecting-citadel-miniatures.com/wiki/index.php/Casting_Variants

I do happen to have an extra one horned Harald as well as a flat winged Lord Aquila...  maybe if you have some old Orcs or something...

Here's another little minor variation I came across for you to ruminate on.

I don't know how well the picture picks it up but the guy on the right has his helmet wings sweeping back and his head is tilted up more.  The guy on the right has flat wings and his head is tilted down.

Is it possible those very slight differences are as a result of problems with casting on earlier models, or changes to make the moulds last longer, rather than specifically to sell it as a different model, where in some cases you can clearly see much bigger changes as if a model was mostly done, cast, then variations sculpted on top of the base model.

It could also be that the model or mould has warped slightly rather than intential changes

I strongly suspect in the case of these Fighters the changes were made to improve casting performance, I can see were flattening the helmet wings and removing the horn will make the model more two-dimensional and there for less casting errors.

I don't know about selling but if you have any old orcs or duplicate fighters of your own I might be up for a trade on the two Heroic Fighters.

On a collecting theme, i have almost collected all 16 battle lords, and all 14 paladins, !

Gonna nail each mini collection one by one,

also have 1/2 the 42 Barbarians they made, and perhaps 50 out of the 100 fighters

I'm a collector also, but no way near as hectic as you with "gotta have them all", I just buy what I like the look of and all the limited editions.

It's amazing but in 1998 there were so many variations of bretonnian knights available, especially questing knights but now they are IMPOSSIBLE to find and I want them all :/

I've got pretty much everything empire I want so far.

Here is the big question.  Who here would convert a limited edition if they had duplicates?

I believe that every figure should be converted, no matter how small a change, to make it unique; so I’d convert the original and only buy a duplicate if I saw a second conversion option.

Just curious, is there a specific catalogue you are going by? In other words how do you figure there are only 100 Fighters and how do you know when a collection is complete?

For the past few months (do to a lack of real hobby time) I've been collecting Orcs and Goblins, mainly going by the 1988 and 1989 catalogues.  The problem I run into is for every other model I check off the list I find there is a variant not really catalogued any where.

I personally regard the 1988 catalogue, as the definitive guide to the Fighter Series of 1985-87.

It has 4 pages of them, plus separate Dogs of War page,  which get tainted and amalgamated in later books (re-listed with missing models as Knights etc) , but from my research are best represented in the 88 catalogue in their entirety.

There are certain things I am learning , some via WE.com, like the multiple casts of the Heroic Fighters series, or that Agnes was cast with a metal flag as a second rare variant.

People have also seen my PLOG and messaged me about models which i was unaware existed like GW Resin unreleased empire models from the last 10 years.

I have turned down a couple as they wanted £100 per model,

but they were genuine one offs

I'd be wary of giving such a large sum of money to someone claiming they had a genuine copy of a rare model that I previously hadn't heard of. However, you are a clearly a man who does his research so I'm sure you won't get stung (too badly :P) doing this project. Its so good seeing all of these old models (many are great, some of them not so great) painted up to a decent standard and photgraphed properly. Some of the old catalogue pictures, etc. were really grainy and nasty.

Depends on what you mean by misfire. If you mean you rolled a single misfire on the three dice for each HBVG, then no, the odds are a bit better as you are actually rolling three dice for each HBVG, not just one so the odds of getting a single misfire on three dice is better than getting single misfire on one roll. If you were talking about them misfires on all three dice, then it is actually much lower odds of getting 5 misfires. If you had been talking about firing Great Cannons, then yes, your probability of five misfires is 1 in 7776 chances.
Title: Re: Chumley Warner's Empire - GW AD & D - Battle Lords
Post by: mr chumley warner on September 09, 2012, 01:56:29 PM
It was as follows,

1st HBVG.

Roll 1 = 6 Shots
Roll2 = Misfire (re rolled by engineer for 3rd role.)
Roll3 = Misfire (the re roll).
Roll 4 (3rd barrel) = Misfire.

Black Powder roll of 1 = remove HBVG1.

2nd HBVG

Roll 1 = Misfire (re rolled by engineer for 2nd role.)
Roll 2 = Misfire (the re roll)
Roll 3 = can't recall I think 6 Shots
Roll 4 (3rd final barrel) = can't recall maybe also 6.

Result halved for shots...

The dice gods can be fickle. It's like when your 5 reiksguard are holding up a unit for an awesome flank charge next turn. All you need to do is make 1 2+ save from 5 wounds, and you roll 5 1's :(

My dear friend, you need hammer (which is not artillery), you have anvil but not hammer, artillery is good but there is not enough  strength or toughness, so strong unit of knights with grandmaster is good also, try it  :engel:

Guys if u r reading this, can I suggest you buy the 1985 Paladin Sculpts?

This one I just painted has so much character and detail, it's far better than new plastic or resins....

ps: Light box with black background looks great.

Maybe you are ready to take the final step into mini-fig madness and start commissioning figures. I'm sure Mr Copplestone could sculpt you up a nice little Battle Lord.

Has any1 come across a 4th sculpt?

Probably releases from the late eighties' "Collector's series", which saw common sculpts released with a slight variation, most typically a different head sculpt. To my knowledge there doesn't exist a definitive guide to these figures.
Even the CCM wiki is an ongoing project:

That's quite an undertaking.

What does "every model ever made entail". Give us a list of the stuff you don't have. You need a thread with just your painted pieces all in a row rather than like spread out through like this thread. Are you planning that?

Looking at the primed gryphs I hope you filled in those gaps on the legs and armour!

The paint job on the armour looks solid, but are you done with the gryph?  It looks pretty sloppy.  And I think you did it with your other demis, but there's so much you can do with that base since the model doesn't take up much room.  Boris' base looks so empty.

Negative comments aside, those are some crazy oop models, it's great to see how far gw has come in their sculpting.

Cheers

Very nice work, I like the coloured armour, I think that's the way I will go with mine. And I quite like the understated base, rather than trying to cram stuff on as must be tempting.

Whose flowers do you use? I think I should add those to my growing list of basing options.

Wow, Boris really fits well with that DG, it looks like he was made for it! I always find him a bit ott when on a horse but this looks really good. I've got a Boris lying around, he might get himself a new mount as well!

I didn't do anything with the shoes or some of the jerkins, shield backs, etc.

The whole unit was undercoated watery brown , then a 3 stage wash and hair dry ...

the shoes are basically what's left of the brown washed 3 times,

that's how i managed to paint the whole unit in 10 hours

Those Priests were early 2000s - 6th Edition. There were Warrior Priests before then, but they looked like this:

I have the one with the huge axe bottom right. I always hated him - his legs look too small for his massively armoured upper body. Almost like the figure would break if you shook him hard.

Never seen the other ones before - they don't look quite as daft.

Just to prove how i cheat !

after a very thin white spray, the whole model gets a coat of mournfang brown mixed with water and carroburg crimson wash 

sitting it on a radiator helps thin the paint wash as it dries

Weird. I have all of those heroic fighters apart from the first. If they came in a set I must have lost him along the way. Unless he's lying in a bits box somewhere, which is entirely possible.

You've done a marvelous job painting them. There is detail on 'em I never saw on my own!!

lol

I'm making my own Warhammer / Citadel historical Slotta catalogue on WE.com.... As you can see.

As I complete each collection, I will post it up!

My GW Barbarian/Viking/Norse collection is looking quite solid now,

not too many to go,

also Paladins and Lords of Battle are 1 model off completion.

Fighters - i ahve about 100 of the 125 ish

I have that figure.

He came in a two pack and they were listed as duelists.  I added a scabbard coming out from under where his left hand is, as if he's holding the top of a sword.  I've always pictured him dressed in black and red, but haven't painted him yet.

The second figure in the bubble pack isn't in the picture provided.

Yep, that's the one.  And I was incorrect on their title, not duelists, but instead, swashbucklers.  Think I still have the packaging, too.

Its very doubtful that I'd be willing to sell either of them.  I like the figures, and they represent NPC characters being used currently.  The one with the pistol is being used as an Estalian inquistor, and the one with the sword and dagger is being used as a privateer captain.

Thats one unique looking figure.  Carrying a mace and a book, one might think he was a warrior priest.

And he has two different shoes!  No wonder he's been painted in Stirland's colors. :icon_wink:

Is that a sword on his left side?  And what list of figures is he from?

Suppose that'd be an appropriate use for that figure.  Similar to my use of him as an Estalian Inquisitor.

Yeah trying to get everything Empire in the late 80's is quite problematic being how many of the historical lines over lapped with Empire of the period. Anyway if you start on this insane venture soon I know I have a few F4 Men at Arms types about currently as place holders in my old Bretonnian units as they neither look the part for 16th century Empire or 14th century Brets.

True.  They have more of a 15th century look to them.

Foundry is marketing them as "Wars of the Roses".  Wondering how well these will look standing next to Perry's more recent plastic figures.

Well doing so side research on my own seems you would most likely be best off just buying the Foundry WotR range since it is a complete copy over from the old C26/F4 range of late Medieval Men at Arms/Retainers much as you did with the Viking/Norse earlier. Also SoL doesn't cover those entire ranges as I have a few citadel stamped slotta minis that I can't find there but are in the Foundry catalog on solid bases.

Keep up the good work on the insane quest, it's nice to see such a wide range of figures and it's a shame that most models these days don't have all these little deformities and additional casts that make the citadel range such a pain in the ass for you to collect :P

Well, used to live in Evesham and I worked in the old wargames store about 9-10 years back but went to college in Stratford and know quite a few of the guys from the Stratford club if you ever frequent it. So basically if you ever shopped at the Evesham store we've probably bumped into each other ;)

Although to be honest I'm sure word would have gotten around about a project like this so maybe not :P

Hi Sir,

I don't know the stratford club?

Is that a wargames club?

To be honest I had a 20 year break from warhammer , and got back into painting 3 years ago to give me something for my brain to feed on other than work!

It spiralled randomly into gaming and this PLOG..

I literally only bought some EMpire Knights 3 years back, and had no pre conceptions about warhammer , as I had only played 40K back when i was very young.

I came back from a break in the hobby too last year after 7 years out so know what you're going through with getting into it and it taking over a bit ;)

There's a wargames club in Stratford (or at least used to be unless they've all been absorbed by the other local clubs), one in Redditch, Evesham, Worcester, Cheltenham... loads in the area ;)

The palette you've chosen is stunning. Subtle and realistic. That, and the fact that these are my all-time favourite Empire figs (it was the 2nd boxed set I ever bought) means I'll use your scheme for my own Heroic fighters- when I get around to painting them, that is.

Nice idea with the framed pics Chumley.

I am beginning to worry how long the first page of this thread will take to load.  :biggriin:

Hopefully we will have sorted out a proper Gallery for the site soon, as your pictorial compendium would make a fabulous centrepiece

How about turning them into a pdf file too?   
I'm sure a lot of us would be eager for such a comprehensive guide to the figures.

You can thumbnail the images, too - that works very well. You just need to make a separate, smaller, file for the thumbnail. That is what I always do with my images so people on slower connections don't need to download a massive pic of my dodgy painting.

In the years before Sigmar united the Empire Barbaric factions dominated the lands, fighting for territory and waging wars with all manner of enemies.

Now such Barbaric types still inhabit the Northern Empire under teh Rule of Karl Franz.

My growing GW 80's Barbarian collection reflects these brave warriors.

I also have to repeat my compliments about the presentation from earlier in the thread.

The project and the painting is excellent, but the way you are now presenting them as sets is really wonderful.
They do need to be made into pdfs and then into a document.

It is a slotta base and it says GW1987 and then rather amusingly 'cavalry' on the other side.

The sword one you have was pictured in WD96 I think and may be listed as a C11

They are different sculpts and not a small change. The sword one has the legs around the shoulders, the spear one has more of a piggyback pose with legs round the waist.

Chumley ... have you started buying older Empire knights yet?  Found a package of 3 that I might pick up for you if you need them.

They are certainly not GW 28mm, nor 28mm, probably 25mm at best.  One of the horses has a sad paint job thats slowly been wearing off, but little if anything else has been painted.  One figure is a guy brandishing a sword in the air and no helmet, the other two have helmets and lances, if I recall correctly.

Chumley ... have you started buying older Empire knights yet?  Found a package of 3 that I might pick up for you if you need them.

They are certainly not GW 28mm, nor 28mm, probably 25mm at best.  One of the horses has a sad paint job thats slowly been wearing off, but little if anything else has been painted.  One figure is a guy brandishing a sword in the air and no helmet, the other two have helmets and lances, if I recall correctly.
Like the High Helms etc from 1987?



I have a few.

If u do buy them, send me a pic.

:)
What do those look like?  Think what I saw might be older.

cant locate image, but it's these ones on the old white plastic horses

I always liked this figure.  Have one, but haven't painted it yet.

Imagine he's a noble with extensively trained with sword and shield, and that's his hunting gun on his back.

Picked up those 3 "Imperial" knights today.  Not sure I've ever seen them before.

The horses have a single slotted base and each horse looks exactly the same.

Two of the knights have imperial style skirts, like that Marienburger shown above, with breast plates full helms, and a feathered headdress that sticks up and rolls down their backs, carrying lances which need to be glued on, as do the arms with shields.

The third figure is one piece, except for a cloak that can be affixed to his back.  His shield has a raised templar looking cross on it, and he's in full body armor, no skirt, no helmet, sword arm in the air brandishing the blade.  His air cut is like he had a bowl put on it.

I'll borrow someone's camera when possible, and put up a picture when I can.

It's a little skill I like to call "reading":

Blue silk shirt, scarlet pantaloons, yellow sash around his waist. Long dark blue cloak. He wears knee length soft leather boots and ALWAYS a  trademark hat (colour never described as far as I remember) which sometimes has a feather in it. Whiskers is black with white front, paws, muzzle and wing tips (!) and can communicate (telepathically?) with him.

Yours is nice too though ;)

Let me know if you get your hands on Corum. As a hint, his full name means The Prince in the Scarlet Robe! ;)

I'm game for a few less GW stores and a few more miniatures.  Although, at least with the plastic, they can be seemingly converted more easily.  Pluses and minuses, like anything else, I suppose.

"Character and charm" is one thing, but the lack of technical skill is another. Many of these models are nice because they are unusual or characterful, but they are not as well-designed in certain ways as more modern figures.

Now, if one wants something which is kinda zanny etc. that is great, but many of these old figures ONLY have that going for them.

Uhh..  flipping through a 147 pages of a thread displaying the most awesome miniatures GW ever made, your statement falls flat.

It depends on what you consider awesome. Do I like a lot of these old figures? Yes I do. Would I ever field any of them in a army these days? No, and not because of the fact that they expensive and hard to get. Sure they are fun figures, but the proportions are terrible and just not up to today's standards. Sure modern figs have lost the individual character these old figs had, but I think modern figs are sculpted much better. I much prefer modern figs for my armies. Now where I would like these old figs is using them in games like Talisman or even as RPG characters. In that regards I think they work most excellently.

Also a good paint job does wonders in making a bad figure look better as well, as evidenced here by Mr Chumley Warner. I've seen plenty of these old figs painted horribly and I guarantee you wouldn't think the figs are so good had you seen those bad paint jobs.

From what Cumley is showing, I'd say that the variation in quality was much wider in the 80's. Some models are just plain crappy, but others really seem to be works of true inspiration.

I'm amazed at how many figures Citadel was making in those days. :icon_cool:

They didn't have a couple hundred stores to support back then. All their profits could go into having new miniatures sculpted and cast. Now it's a totally different environment.

The production mechanism is totally different now. They've oriented towards producing massive amounts of a small set of models. This requires a lot more up-front design for their injection molding system, as opposed to a lot of easily cast rubber molds for metal models. Tooling's remarkably easy for the metal figures, but now that the costs of the metal are high, and the market (and thus demand) are much bigger, they're going the route that makes more business sense.

Shame for the hobbyists, but now we've got a LOT of small designers making FANTASTIC stuff, like our very own White Knight's models.

Exactly, they could pretty much dump figures out there.  There wasn't as much of a need for quality control since they were producing massive batches of smaller sets.

Also,while much of what has been presented here is very cool, even within the models Chumley is painting there are total garbage sculpts that a great paint job doesn't really help with.  Those lords of battle, most of the chaos lines, old elf models, most orcs, all of those lines were utter garbage.  The old models had character in places, but the quality was inconsistant.  Just as new doesn't mean best, old doesn't automatically make a model characterful.

As for old school quality, yeah there was a variance but some of the figures made now by GW are terrible too, just look at the latest monkey faced state troops...and the new ones lack the character of these older ones.

Some of the newer miniatures look great but there is a definite shift in style to something akin to the art direction found in World of Warcraft/Diablo3. This is particularly evident in the Ogres and Orcs/Goblins which are just terrible in comparison to the older ranges.

In the perfect world GW would bring back the proper mail order that has everything they have ever done on order. That way we can pick and choose between the best of the new and the best of the old.  :::cheers:::

If that were a profitable way of selling miniatures you can be guaranteed they'd still be doing it. As it were it was only catering to us old fans and not the current new players. The selling of old miniatures like that is a thing of the past and you will never see it again from GW.

And the same could be said for the currentand recent  dwarf linse...just atrocious...they just make me cringe to look at...and I'm a dwarf fan...they were my first army and are by far my largest army.  I'm not saying that all old models are great...I'm saying they had character...something that mass produces multipart plastics will never have...unless they are skillfully converted.  Which is something I have no interest in doing.  Old metal beats modern plastic 90% of the time IMO...YMMV.

Now, if one wants something which is kinda zanny etc. that is great, but many of these old figures ONLY have that going for them.

This is pretty much true.  A lot of the older figures are just beastly to paint compared to the new plastics.  I have an all metal skaven army and some of those sculpts can give you fits to paint up nice.

But just look at the old jes Goodwin wood elves.  That range is better than every other gw wood elf release in the last 20 years.  Same goes for the Orc and goblins.

For me the bottom line is that I would rather paint the new plastic, but I would much rather look at the old metal models.  They are so much cooler.



EDIT

I forgot to mention that the GW is only recently creating models that surpass the old stuff.  Think about the skaven models from 6th edition or some of the previous warriors of chaos stuff, it is pure garbage.

what do we mean by the old Orc line?  Because the stuff from the late 80s has still not been surpassed by current gw Orc and goblins.  The current range is really lacking in my opinion.

I feel like you may be talking about the Orc and goblin stuff from the 90s, which I would agree was rough.  A lot of the stuff from the "red period" was way too static and lacked the charm of the really old line. 

Same with chaos.  The realm of chaos stuff is classic compared to the 90s models or even today's.  Just think of how poor the plastic marauders look.  I'm even bored to death of the plastic warriors.

But when it comes to the Empire (at least), I think they made some really great stuff for Mordheim. Witchhunters, freelance knight etc. That was around 2000 (?). I can't wait to see Chumley getting there!

The red weapon period was so atrocious.  The only armies that really have comparably decent models from that period and today would be dwarves and empire and maybe Brettonia.  And in those cases, I think it is a case of the interesting and characterful appearance.  You can get away with poor quality if you have a model that kind of tells a story purely in appearance.

I actually prefer the previous editions demons to the current line.  The axe wielding Blood Letters and the Juan Diaz Daemonettes are worlds better than the current line.

THat was the red period, and like I said, with the exception of Empire, Brettonia, and the Dwarves, the models were terrible.  Even Brettonia doesn't get a pass on their knights since they had those terrible dioramas on their heads.

More ultra rare minis located on a collectors site.

I have been reliably informed that the top collectors in the world don't have the Nuln Spearmen and Guard Captain, and my chances of obtaining them are about 1:10,000..

Interestingly ... the horse my figure came with looked different than the one in that picture, and so I pulled it out this morning, and confirmed that it is.  Although the horse I have is the same one that came with the other two figures, too.

Plus, get this ... it looks like the figure in the picture doesn't have a shield, and maybe instead a nob to put on one of those plastic ones?  Or maybe this is just because that picture is too small to see the shield clearly.  However, with the figure I have, the shield is molded as part of the figure.

I got a call out to my sister to see if I can borrow her digital camera.

Someday maybe I'll buy my own. :icon_lol:

Seriously, I just checked again, and on the back side of the sheild its clearly been scuplted as being strapped to his arm.  There is also a cape that can be attached to a small hole at the top of his back.

The other two knights have arms loose with shields attached, but what's interesting about those is each shield has a slight crack in the metal at the bottom, probably some sort of molding issue.

The 3 horses for those three riders are all the same, and one piece with a single wide slot at the bottom, no armor, but instead more of a Bretonnian look to them, yet without the hood, and being able to fully see the horse's head.

At the same time, the two other knights that came with the guy in the picture look like they could be Empire or Bretonnian, and such was the style of the various figures back then.

Ah!  The closer view shows that the figure I have is not like that one, so it can't be the same one.  Too many differences, including the head being tilted to the left in that image, and the figure I have is looking more straight forward, while the one I have has a monkish hair cut.

Hmmm.  Seems I still don't know what I've got.  Need to put up a photo. :icon_lol:

A good painting station is a most, and you can easily rock the cradle with one foot while painting.. Also of  importance, in a year or two you really want to move everything to at least 5' above the floor. Toodlers are strangely attracted to painted miniatures.
Also, you might have a harder time convincing your wife that 5000 point battles are a must; we do 1800-2500 points as they more easily fit in the family schedule.

It's not the end of mini-things for years. I've got two and while I slowed down, it definitely wasn't the end. It seems Chumley has found something more expensive than collecting old Empire miniatures though! Congratulations.

If taught properly you don't have to put your miniatures up high. I've never had a problem with my 4 year old playing with any of my miniatures. As a matter of fact he almost never goes in my game room without me being in there too. He knows they are off limits without question. Now writing on the walls is another thing all together. Other than my game room, I don't think there is a wall in our house that he hasn't written on.

Well, the army I am working on is Nordland themed, so the rider will be some version of yellow and blue. AS for the beast, not sure yet, I like the tiger stripes but may go something simpler. My painting skill isn't where I would like it to be yet so I will probably continue working on state troops till I get comfortable with my ability to not mess up the model.

Post by: mr chumley warner on December 19, 2012, 07:35:06 PM
I bought them on e bay already painted,

but quite badly ,....

basically the paint was thin enough to rescue them..

The guy had under coated black , but then painted pure shining gold on parts of the armour but not others...

I decided to give the armour on each guy a base of Tausept Ocre and Shining Gold mixed to complete the armoured suits, then i washed the whole armour in a dark mix of nuln oil, with blue wash, and hawk turquoise ,

for the head dresses he had simply painted them red and dry brushed yellow, so i then washed them all with a brown mix, to level out the shading ,

that's where i am at currently

Went 5K against Chaos ,

he brought 200 marauders with great weapons to the table and 50 chaos warriors with great weapons..

My double stank impacted 24 hits on his warriors flank in turn 4 lol,

Other highlights included routing trolls with an IC Knight horde , and using RG Knights to smash his marauders

i used a list which gave me +1 dispel dice and 5 chanelling dice

That's just how mr chumley warner displays them. He uses skirmish movement trays so that you can see them better in his display cabinet because most of his miniatures are such individuals.

Post by: steveb on December 31, 2012, 11:02:25 PM
some truth in that, in fact they were made for mordheim use as a warband and were never meant to be ranked up. in fact a person could go crazy trying to rank them, you almost have to do 40x bases as small dioramas/unit fillers in order to avoid a mess.  So in my opinion skirmish is the way to go.  good job so far. steveb

I can definitly see the highly detailed forgeworld models not being suited to your method of speed painting.  As Fidelis said, I think if you had gone for one color on the armour it would look a lot less cluttered and busy.  Can't fault the sculpt though, it's a great model!

I've always found that forgeworld models are much more sharply detailed and harder to paint (I suck at painting anyway) I would have gone for a simpler paint job but I like basically everything but his armor.

I don't like this finecast , it's too fine detail, almost so much detail the model is cluttered, not smooth.

That's how I feel about a lot of recent GW models, like the Demigryphs and the Wizard Wagon. All that busy detail sucks any joy out of the painting experience. If I was starting them both again it would be one colour, drybrush, wash and done. I'm putting hours of work into what I'm sure will be a very average looking Hurricanum atm :(

Interesting aquatic feeling result on that mini though, high marks for that.

E Bay action!

I'm overdrawn but hammered down $$ on 2 1980's unlisted Waizards, at least CCMWIKI doesn't show their images anyway ,

also landed the Mordheim Merchant model and 4 Pan Tang infantry which are massively rare and collectable, plus Bronzino's Galloper Gun * 2

Or they could just be a Reaper sculpt someone labelled RARE OOP :)

Na these are legit, both slotta , both from a collector i buy from, both tabs with GW like writing on...

also one sculpt looks like a variant of 2 which are listed on CCMWiki as CO2 Wizards,

CCMWIKI has about 10-15 GW CO2 wizards who are named but with no image,

Ok so I bought a second wall cabinet, just to show off my Citadel GW 1980's Fighter Collection.

The definitive collection from the 1988 catalogue + all the slotta CO1 fighter release of 1985 and the unlisted 1984 first slotta based CO1 compendium additions.

Not including the elusive and possibly non existant Nuln Spearman, Agnes with Flag etc...

It's around 200 models to complete the collection, I'm at 160.

I loathe the genre but enjoy Steel Panther as they are in part mocking it...and mixing in Community Property or Girl from Oklahoma when someone keeps playing tons of hair metal on a bar jukebox is extremely enjoyable.....

then washed blue + black, then heater, washed brown + black, then heater,

Just curious, since I know nothing about collecting rare minis and how much they are worth....but does painting them increase or decrease their value?  Or is it irrelevant?

I know with some collectibles the goal is to keep them as "minted".   Not the case with lead figures?  :icon_question:

Post by: Timbor on January 30, 2013, 01:33:50 AM
I think purists would prefer to see them unaltered, still in original blisters but thats quite rare to see.  I wouldn't mind one being painted, as paint can be stripped easily enough, and I collect stuff with at least the intention to paint them.  If the miniature is modified or converted though, that tends to decrease the value in most cases.

It all boils down to who wants it, and for how much...

Cheers Codger .

Regarding painted minis adding value, I think it can add value, if the paint job is good.

It's rare to see people sell good looking well painted empire minis on e bay.

They are usually commission painters looking to sell a nice unit or army for top dollar.

It would be interesting to try and sell a unit painted well to see what it fetched

Thanks!  I was just wondering if the situation for rare minis was similar to things like rare coins or antique furniture, where any modification to the piece will most certainly reduce its value (e.g. re-finishing an antique table may lower its value drastically).

So...no such situation for a rare lead figure? Paint away!
Cheers,
Perfesser

PS: you may have already posted this (apologies if you have)...what's the most you've ever seen a miniature figure sell for?

I don't track and monitor anything on e bay apart from human/empire 1980's to present day slotta.

For sure I have seen some rare auctions.

Unreleased flagellant £85,,

Mcdeath went for £105 the other day,

The rare original dragon goes for like £800,

Groups of Mordheim models , the rarer can go for £250 ish

By the end of Turn 6, Empire had 2650 Left on the board with O and G having 1500 ish.

 :::cheers:::

Victory ! Praise the HBVG, praise the CHickens!

Early on my Knights absorbed all the Orc artillery, and also the brunt of lots of attacks. At one stage a pump wagon slammed their flank with all the nasty upgrades, and took down 8 Knights!

Also Foot of Gork stomped them 3 times , losing 11 Knights!  :eusa_wall:

My Meat Grinder formation played amazingly, the +1 to Hit and 6 + Ward and Hatred ranks of Halberds, saw off Trolls, Giants and Orcs!

Gelt died to a stone thrower in Turn 5 with a roll of 2 to make his save ! URGGGG

Never leave home without 2 Stanks and 2 HBVG's gents!

I can control one flank , with 2 Stanks sent forward to hold it up.

Then on the opposite flank  I nail down a savage charge by IC Knights in horde, and in the centre I leave a Meat Grinder block which can absorb hurt

The chickens are there to buffer every assault, and fend off nasties

Chumley, your blog and painting have kept our collective interest for ages now and the old lead is truly madness  :eusa_clap:

I don't think I've commented on it for ages, but like many I often have a look to see what you're up to next and i always like to see Your mega batreps as they look great seeing so many painted models on the table too.

Love the look of the OOP white wolves, I've got 10 of them myself and they crap all over the plastic add ons available currently.  the snow basing sets them up nicely and the armour looks great, I really like how you left the unpainted metal on the horses head.  My only dislike (the only one out of all you stuff) though is that the white wolf banner top is missing and has a 5th ed state troop "rag banner"

More please, great stuff

The market price for that model is £25.

I had it confirmed by various sources whom I tried to acquire it from,

I suspect you will find the auction ends in the region £20-30

Good luck, I already got one!

Too much for me to pay for a model that is so new! ;) Shame, cos it looks nice in your paint job and would be a nice addition to my forthcoming Vampire Counts, perhaps.

Chumley, your blog and painting have kept our collective interest for ages now and the old lead is truly madness  :eusa_clap:

I don't think I've commented on it for ages, but like many I often have a look to see what you're up to next and i always like to see Your mega batreps as they look great seeing so many painted models on the table too.

Love the look of the OOP white wolves, I've got 10 of them myself and they crap all over the plastic add ons available currently.  the snow basing sets them up nicely and the armour looks great, I really like how you left the unpainted metal on the horses head.  My only dislike (the only one out of all you stuff) though is that the white wolf banner top is missing and has a 5th ed state troop "rag banner"

More please, great stuff

cheers bud , i think there are a lot of viewers of my PLOG, so it's nice to keep it rolling !

1 million hits is the target !

These white wolves are awesome! Your painting style really suits these models. Love the deep red horses. What technique do you use for your deep shading but still keeping the colours rich and bold?

hey mr. chumley, I am really enjoying this blog! it's great to see somebody actually living up to sky-high ambitions.

for the white wolfs, is that the "standard" standard bearer? I am sure mine didn't come with those handkerchiefs tied to the pole. so, are there two versions?
Title: Re: Chumley Warner's Empire Collection = 80's updates

This is the only painted version of the C02 Wizard Ivan Bloodblast I can find. Have you got him, and if so what the heck do you make of the end of his staff? The above pic is unhelpful - basically, I can't decide how to paint it. Is it flames or what???

Post by: Shadespyre on February 13, 2013, 06:58:43 PM
Yeah, that's what I thought but it's not sticking up at the right angle. Then again, the fox familiar doesn't really look much like a fox either ;) Thanks for your input - I may have to GS it to make it more fiery. Then again, I was thinking of painting him as a Shadow Mage (I don't have one yet, and he doesn't look like a Metal Wizard really!) so maybe flames aren't great.

Anyhow, back to your own minis... as you can see above, I have a real problem with deciding what the heck colours to paint stuff. You use a massive selection of colours on your stuff, how do you go about deciding which fighter, say, should be which colour?
Title: Re: Chumley Warner's Empire Collection = 80's updates
Post by: mr chumley warner on February 13, 2013, 07:45:17 PM
There are combinations of colours which look good, and which look bad.

As a general rule:

Use 2 complementary colours in a scheme, Yellow + Blue for instance.

Also use metallics and White and or Black and Browns and Flesh in any combination with the colours.

It's pretty much that simple,

If you add a 3rd colour it goes wrong often, unless it's a spot detail, like a pendant or gemstone etc

I remember rouge trader Orcs had giant hands and tiny bolters. From looking back at old models, the early 90s when Jes Goodwin came out with High Elves and Eldar is a clear point where the quality of sculpts really stepped up. But that's the era I started the hobby so I've got more nostalgia for it.

The old model sculpts generally portrayed Empire soldiers as wearing FPA ....

It should be State Troops FPA and Militia Light Armour,

I don't know if it's your paint job or if the face is actually really well sculpted on that one, but his face looks very good. The rest of the sculpting is pretty well bad as per the rest of their figs from that era.

Just wanted to say thanks to everyone who has been selling me individual models via PM, you are helping me to amass a definitive Empire/Human slotta collection. The plan to get every model ever made is looking positive for me, i have about 900 models now.

I'm quite close to completing every Barbarian / Viking and 1988' catalogue Fighter, making good head way on Clerics from 85' and the Wizards from 85/7.

I'm about 80% on Mordheim, 70% TSR,  70% Halflings, 90% Marauder humans, 95% all post 1990's modern characters, 100% paladins, heroic fighters, lords of battle, 90% knights, 100% kislev.

Travelling Players, Townsfolk and villagers are my weak spot, where I am about 40-50% complete.

Keep the offers coming all!

I promise to keep my photos and collection unique to this website.

Keep up the good work man.  If nothing else, your quest has shown the rest of us how many different minis were sculpted in the past, and how crazy of an idea it is to collect one of them all (let alone paint them).  If anyone can do it, you are the man.  :happy:

Of the top 8 in that picture, with the exception of the wizard, the legs and torsos are separate pieces, as is the right weapon arm.  So the mounted and foot versions are exactly the same torsos, but ususally with lance arms, and legs suitable for mounting on a plastic horse.

So if you can get hold of two versions of the mounted general, and some ordinary legs, you can then a foot version

Post by: mr chumley warner on April 03, 2013, 09:53:18 PM
Yep was me!

There were 2 !

I was watching Californication, and thought f it, i'll have both.

Neither are listed on CCM Wiki or Solegends , but I searched yesterday online and found a reference to the sword guy...

The handgunner is a mystery , but looks GW / Mordheim,,,

If you can help me locate him I would be in debt

Ok guys, so I got this one finally , already painted on e bay, and then touched up, washed and highlighted etc.

No one has ever been able to identify this model, and it appears no where I can find anywhere online in any reference.

It's always been listed as a GW Fighter 1987 when it appears on e bay, but I can't validate it!!

Nice detail, I assumed it was cast like that.   :eusa_clap:

£85 for a halfling, seriously, in terms of cost per weight of metal that must be some sort of record???

Any idea on these three guys, I can't find them online though the middle guy seems familiar. I assumed they were Comp 3 sort of age (with the cast on shields) but I need an expert to identify them...

Anyway, turned up , queued for an hour to get my WP, then me and the wife left as we had to head for Cheltenham,

So I didn't get to do anything there ..

Post by: mr chumley warner on April 08, 2013, 08:09:16 PM
I think it's more for 40K players, as 90% of the stuff was 40K related.

You can speak to the Forgeworld Designers in person, and see some new stuff they are working on.

Obviously it's a GW money spinner, so expect to queue for ages to buy anything etc.

I guess they threw in a WP to bring in some WH players!

For sure it's worth getting a rare ltd model , and meeting some designers.

I would have love to have gone to a FW open day as I have more of a hankering for syfi than fantasy. It looks a interesting model still not sure if I would get one yet but seeing it painted up makes it easier to decide as you can see the details better than having a grey model on a white background which you get on some of the FW gear on their site

Is it wrong of me to hope you soon get back to new miniatures? I'm not really big on the classic stuff as I think they look lame. But was a big fan of your work before.

So here's hoping you're gonna do some new models soon! Which is of course totally your choice to make ;)

Weird. The darker models are actually likely to be older castings with a higher lead content, so they should be more valuable if anything - they are older, and lead is worth more than tin! I am actually wary of really shiny old models as they may actually be copies. And I can make any metal miniature shinier than you could possibly want through the miracles of science anyway... pretty pointless if you want to paint them of course!

As an addition to empire maybe, Halfling Militia etc.

Nice barbs!

Re: halflings, there was a Halfling Allies list back in the day. IIRC it had just militia with bow or spear or sling or hand weapon, and elite archer scouts. And your leader was a hero on a pony. Base stat line was WS 2 BS4 S2 (?) I4, T would be 3 in today's money. The Allies lists were intended to add onto other main army lists, a bit like the Storm of Magic vampire and daemon pacts, so wouldn't have a full range of troops and characters.

I enjoy coming back to this thread.  One thing, I love your first Reiklanders the most that you painted.  Did you paint the white similar to how Warhammerlord_Soth painted his (with a simple wash and drybrush) or did you use a different layering technique up to an off white?  Much thanks.

A unit like that would only amount to 3.330 points, incl full command and two detachments of 100 militia barbarians and 100 halberdiers! That still leaves room for a couple of demis, helblasters, buff wagons and an AL on War Altar.You would only have to upgrade to 6k or 7k. Fill your core with a 1500-2000 points IC knights horde and youre good to go! :)

I also have the 2 mounted Barbarians from 1987 waiting to be painted.

I see some one was inspired by the Merchant Marienburger! I cant believe I just now noticed the peg leg, great looking sculpt. The hilt of the sword appears to be curved somewhat, dunno if thats a finecast thing or not. As usual, great work, great color. Only things I'm not sure about are the basing (happy flowers  :icon_biggrin:) and the sword hilt (since it appears to be the same color as the rope connecting his shoulder pads. Can we get a back shot?

Forgeworld stuff is normal resin Mr Chumley, which also is less than happy with heat. You have yet to full experience the problem of real Finecast and heat which I wager is far worse as it is generally softer.

But on the glued down note, as it looks as though every thing is glued to the big bases, they are purely for decoration and never an odd 5th/6th/7th throwback game.

I've been spending about £500 a month on Warhammer,

it's crazy

don't tell my wife,

i'm gonna tone it down very soon,

i'm starting to complete certain collections anyway, like the barbarians,

almost have all the 80's clerics also,

so it's gonna get harder to locate the rarer models once I have completed most of the GW Slotta human models

numerous 80's models and spent some ££ on 2 forgeworld event WP's , all within the last few weeks

I“m working on a unit of spearmen with the hammer and buckler guy as a champion. I“ll keep you updated. Also love these. Bought most of the middenheimers when I was playing Mordheim back in the nineties. Missing the guy with halberd thou. The young bloods are quite cool too. Especially the crazed girl wielding two "carpenters hammers", I keep her in my flagellants unit :)

Yes, I daubed the one with the two handed hammer for my Middenheim army, and a couple of the youngbloods too, including the lady with the hammers. All the Mordheim models are well worth collecting.

The were mostly bad sculpts if you ask me, and I had tons of these during my Mordheim days.

The only one I kept is the one with the lantern (the best of the lot).

And yes Chumley, I sold most of te models as well as my awesome Mordheim table (have you seen it?).

You however, paint these better than they "deserve".  :closed-eyes:

WHAT?
I have the zwei hander sword guy as my elector count/general. Bought him direct order from warhammer world back in the day.
They are an ok set, although the axe guy looks like he has a skirt,  and the wrong eye guy has the proportions of a baby- massive head!

double hammer guy is good too

I think a lot of the Mordheim and Warhammer Quest stuff was the best stuff GW has produced, the Ostlanders aren't that great but the Reiklanders, Marienburgers, Middenhiemers, Witch hunters and Averlanders along with a lot of the WQ characters were the best minis GW have produced.  :-P

Anyway great work like usual looking forward to seeing more Mordheim stuff  :::cheers:::

I agree , the detail is superb ,

it's a shame they went to Finewank when they proved how good they can make metal  :eusa_wall:!

I don't like the feel of Finewank, it's more detailed, but almost too detailed IMO, and it melts, and it's weird.

These Kislev fanatic models gave Kislev armies the ability to field units of Handgunners, Xbows, Halberds, Swordsmen with Shields,

It's pretty versatile

you could have a whole empire army in kislev

Yes and no. The different hand options were of course nice but the range had, including Youngbloods and Champs, 5 poses for regular troops and 3 poses for missile troops, always find a unit gets a bit dull if you start repeating the same figures over and over.

Also just the thought of amassing enough Mordheim Kislev mini for a whole army hurts the wallet...I ended up with a bunch spare and the average price on those babies is like $20 each.

I can imagine! When I saw them last they were doing some kind of early days tour, with songs from the albums up to Powerslave. Rime Of The Ancient Mariner came up last. Was incredible. Would have been even better with DiAnno on some of the earlier tracks, or maybe not ;). I love the two first records thou. DiAnno is touring Sweden from time to time. When I saw him in Karlskrona some years ago, we were about 100 in the crowd. It looked like he was on drugs lol. Was a bit pathetic. The local band that came up before him was better.

Great WP by the way!  :::cheers:::

@ Martin, I also puzzled at the guy in the middle some time ago, and now own him.

He's unlisted in any online medium. Could be a GW CHaos Warrior or Empire release , no one can prove.

I'm pretty sure the dude on the right shows up somewhere either as Norse or Viking or Barbarian.

Guy on left equal mystery, don't own him.

=========

NO wise cracks about the Nuln Spearman or Agnes with the Flag, those are folk lore models that don't exist.

==========

If I can get these 3, I will have a full collection of all 1987 GW Fighter models which were officially released.

Chumley this is awesome work! last year I dusted off my 4th edition empire army and decided to start collecting again filling in the gaps. I never had that much access to a GW shop in the old days and relied on mail order so I've only ever seen some of the old pre 4th edition miniatures in white dwarfs, its so good to see them now painted and photographed here! I'm still reeling from the news that they stopped mail order and metal minis altogether a good few years ago!

1987! Awesome!

Iron Maiden to paint to, Killers particularly Wrathchild through to Murders in the Rue Morgue!

How many of the thieves do you have?

Keep up the good work man!

Great news, congrats.  :eusa_clap:

My friend's daughter has just painted her first miniature aged 4, so that is something to look forward to! (It was an orc, but she prefers High Elves and Nurgle!)

And having an heir is NO excuse not to finish the collection yourself - he can collect something else.

Great figures, liking the look of green barding on Luthor. Unusual, but it really draws the eye.
Have always been a big fan of the Ulli model. Just recently ordered it from GW (before they cut down specialist games completely). You did a great job on him.

Ok so my methods are controversial , but i can paint 10 models to a good standard in 4 hours flat.

Stage 1 . Skull White spray.

Stage 2. Balor brown / water 50/50 base coat.

Stage 3. Wash using Blue+Red+Brown+Black GW washes, + 50% water.

Stage 4. Base with Sand.

Stage 5. Paint bases.

Stage 6. Purity seal the whole lot.

Post by: mr chumley warner on August 07, 2013, 01:14:47 PM
Otherwise when you are speed painting the base colours, reds , blues etc, and holding the miniatures by hand, you will rub off the thin layer of balor brown and the washes ...

You can skip the purity seal, IF you don't use your hands to hold the models.

So the wall cabinet houses all my GW 1985/7 Slotta fighters , (i'm missing the un released swordsman model, un released fighter general, battle lord on horse, and 2 of the standard ones, but other than that i have the full collection 100+..... Arg also the Nuln spearman, but he mite be a myth methinks).

Then I have every GW Barbarian ever made, apart from the 3 unreleased models shown on solegends.com, but there are no pictures of 2 of them anywhere , so they might be a myth..

http://www.collecting-citadel-miniatures.com/wiki/index.php/Misc_Fantasy_-_Unreleased

Also i now have 70 halflings from 85-87 , including the one from the magnificent sven scenario, and 2 unreleased ones, ,

also have every paladin, lord of battle and heroic fighters of the known world model, every blandford warrior ,

=================

in the cabinet upstairs i have every 1985-7 GW wizard apart from 5 .... every paladin apart from 3, every marauder 87 fighter,

every marauder citizen apart from 4,

95% of mordheim ,

90% TSR, 90% AD and D,

and a growing collection of the 1985-88 townsfolk , villagers and travelling players


==========

arg over and out for now

Alright Chumley....I have a few questions about your painting system....I've copied the stages that you posted over the last couple of days and I hope you wouldn't mid clarifying a few things for me.

Stage 1 . Skull White spray.

Stage 2. Balor brown / water 50/50 base coat.
This is applied to the whole model right?  is this the stage that is presented with the first picture?

Stage 3. Wash using Blue+Red+Brown+Black GW washes, + 50% water.
 Is this mixture applied to the whole model?  or only to the areas of the model that will end up that particular color?

Stage 4. Base with Sand.

Stage 5. Paint bases.

Stage 6. Purity seal the whole lot.

Stage 7: base coats. Keep em thin.
For this stage are you using thinned paint? or still using inks?  I assume that this is the color on the cloth, flesh, wood etc?

Stage 8 : Wash.
with what?

Stage 9. Highlighting.
Again is this with thinned paint on the flesh/cloth/wood etc?

Stage 10: Base detail/Flock etc.

I would appreciate any insight you can offer on these questions....I spent last night rearranging my Lead pile and the size of it scared me....so if I can follow your lead and get thru units faster that would be great.

Keep up the good work!

I use a  mix of vallejo inks and GW washes. The vallejo inks are quite nice, but i find their red is not very dark, and typically have to use the GW baal red as well.  The inks have much higher pigment than the washes, so they often need some thinning.  It also sometimes helps to mix in some vallejo matte medium (or even matte varnish) with the ink and water as the inks can sometimes dry a bit glossy.

Nice halflings, chumley.  You have a closeup of the guy front row centre with the gun?  Not sure I have seen him before.

I like that Mordheim Wizard a lot. Plus, the way you painted him, he could arguably represent all 8 Colleges.
It's a shame I don't have that model. The frog/toad on his shoulder makes me smile every time I see it. I can totally see the wizard having conversations with it, while the other empire troops around him shake their heads and think he's a loonie...

@ Victor, i think the quality of my recent Halfling speed painting as an example, is good, 14 models in 4 hours, lol

The speed part is in the basing , don't worry about the bit where colour gets added!

Check this muahaha ! £500+ worth of 80's quality dipped in 20 mins , in a concoction of paint / water/ alcohol (to improve viscosity) and PVA glue.

Post by: mr chumley warner on August 31, 2013, 02:44:24 PM
Only in the midst of a terrifying threat will the great city of Altdorf unleash one of it's finest and most destructive weapons, the Steam Tank!

Used to defend the City as a last resort, Altdorf has only a few remaining Steam Tanks in service, all with unique modifications!

Behold the Von Zeppel, a Tank with a platform for brave engineers to ride out into battle.

The Stank can break a swathe into the ranks of even the grimmest Chaos line, and deliver a battle changing blow at a crucial moment.

Entire armies have been known to flee under attack from a Steam Tank unit!

For Sigmar!

Use Fairy Power Spray work wonders! doesn't melt it but it literally peels off the model entirely great stuff to use!

Also only takes 30 mins to 2 hours to get the job done ;)

+1 on simple green.  Not sure if it available on your side of the pond though.  Its non-toxic, more or less, and the paint mostly peels off after a day or two.  If any is left on, toss it back in for another couple days.

I have heard of people having good luck with brake fluid as well, but have never tried it myself.

NO BRAKE FLUID! it's toxic and messy!  It's such a poor choice to strip models.

In the USA I use Simple Green or Castrol Super Clean which is sold in automotive shops and is a degreaser.  I'm sure there's an equivalent product in the UK, do some google fu and see if you can find it.   Dip for 24 hours, glove your hands up and scrub the paint that doesnt melt off.  Your models will retain their detail.   I also suggest some eye protection, but I'm so hypocritical about that until a little splash hits me in the eye. 

Follow up with a soak in some dish soap and water to make sure none of that chem is left behind.

I use dettol. Always worked wonders for me. Does turn the paint into a soft mush though, still needs a little scrubbing with a toothbrush and/or peeling off with your fingers. And I suggest doing that in the dettol too - doing it under water appears to make the paint go sticky which means another day or so in the dettol.

Guys I've been looking at costing for running off 100 Hard Back copies of a picture book.

The book would have 100 pages of my work, all high res photo boothed images, basically the contents of this PLOG and much more.

Would anyone be interested in buying a copy?

I'll probably run 100 copies , and then sell at 5% mark up, just to reimburse myself for the 50 hours of time and effort I  recon this will take me!

I think it will be £20 ish per book.

Bargain really ?!

Cellulose thinners to strip metal models, works a treat.

You can buy it in paint suppliers, comes in a big can.

You need to wear protection though, gloves, mask, eyewear to be safest.

Put some in a glass jar, add model, a few hours later the paint is falling off.

Use a toothbrush to get the paint out of the crevaces.

Your models will look like new.

Good luck with the book

I ahve 10 80's models which i stripped with Nytromers paint stripper, but it only worked semi well.

So I took forum advice, and bought some industrial acetone,

currently 2 hours in, no paint is coming off,

they are in a sealed jar ...

does it take a few days to kick in? :eusa_wall:

i left the models in the paint stripper for weeks prior to this 2nd round attack!

I have only used Aceton so far and it really isn't great. Especially the paint in and on puffy sleves and chainmail laughs at you ... it just won't come off.

this 100% it also works on plastics I managed to strip some old battlemaster archers quite well with it
as a chemist acetone not working suggests to me the paint is not acrylic otherwise it should just dissolve like removing nail varnish is it some sort of enamel paints ?
I'm assuming the nitromors is the DCM and methanol which should suffice at removing most things again good solvents for removing acrylics
last options in the common organic chemicals would be Xylene or Methyl ethyl ketone

also how old are the models in the 80s and earlier a lot harsher nasty chemicals (Better) were available to use in paint mediums  over the counter with out any hassle. a prime example at work we ended up with a few tins of lead based paint circa 1950 or so still fully liquid and bright red when we looked in side ::heretic::

I wouldn't recommend using HF like Walter white its quite toxic evil stuff and will etch you and your model that goes for most strong acids

maybe bleach could do the trick its alkaline and not going to react with the lead and should attack the paint







Title: Re: Chumley Warner's Empire Collection - Hardback Publication
Post by: Shadespyre on September 05, 2013, 09:59:01 PM
Anything that will remove stubborn paint without scrubbing is either:

way too evil to use at home
also going to damage the model
difficult / illegal to buy

or a combination of the above.

There are some 80s models out there painted in some god awful car primer that is next to impossible to shift chemically, especially a problem with preslotta stuff that I collect.

Please do not put acids on your models! They almost certainly won't touch paints of any sort, and will attack the model surface, as may strong alkalis.

Don't even joke about HF, I have 20 years lab experience and I refuse to work with it. And I happily work with cyanide every day, that's how horrid HF is.

I can get 98% of paint off 98% of models, but that involves industrial chemicals, industrial equipment and hard work. Only the latter of which is available in the home!

If you can't get them clean, send them to me and I'll throw the laboratory sink at them :)

Mr Chumley,

 This looks great! I think your painting style looks perfectly fine on this model!  :smile2:

 I'm in the process of painting up the Nuln handgunners and they are painting up fine. As for too much detail, pish posh - if people think they have too much or not it comes down to personal choice and what we like.

 I will say this however, sometimes a less detailed mini will be much easier to make look good with simple ,clean painting whereas FW minis tend to favour washes very well!

Don't feel bad, you're a great painter! :smile2:

Too much detail is an eyesore when watching and when painting.. It's hard to pick apart which detail is which and the whole is forgotten. In older minis the design of the miniature is more important, and the details are there to support it.. and I think I like the old ones more :)

Also, being a wargame, I'd say we don't need to see if the elector counts tailor forgot a needle to the counts new pants... So yes, too much detail!

It's a Carmine Dragon, so a Carmine would be the colour I would go for.  Which is Burgundy, but I would also make it a little bit ore Purple than that, because of the influence of Amethyst magic that keeps it 'alive'
Title: Re: Chumley Warner's Empire Collection - Forgeworld Empire Command
Post by: Darknight on September 25, 2013, 12:32:30 PM
It's a car-mine dragon, you are supposed to paint it the color of your car. And your car should be green, because otherwise you hate the environment and are a terrible person and worse than Hitler, so paint it green.

Also, Burgundy is a region of France - famed for growing things. So it is clearly green, mostly.

This is too fantastic to go unquoted. I have nothing to say, but it must be quoted.

Also, as everyone keeps saying, if you want it to be Elsbeth's fluffy dragon, it should be carmine. If you don't care, paint it whatever colour you fancy. Except for pink, of course, which would be against the rules.

Title: Re: Chumley Warner's Empire Collection - 6K vs Chaos
Post by: mr chumley warner on October 12, 2013, 04:22:52 PM
Lol started at 6 am , 6K 1st game , easy victory, highlights, 40 Reiksguard smashed a 57 strong chaos warrior unit, with my GM and Luthor Huss in tow.

My grindbus worked , 2*80 Halberds with *2 buff wagon and Walter bubble, amazing,

unbeatable.

2nd game 3K, tables turn 3 , empire had 2500 left on board with chaos dead or fleeing, Balt Gelt won the day in both battles,

small question:

my bro in law was worried that FInal Transmutation can't affect CHaos Marauders because they have no AS,

but from what I read FT doesn't need to wound, so it just states any 1 wound models are removed on 5/6...

You are correct sir. The rules for the spell state it doesn't use the lore attribute so it can affect any model, even those without an armour save.

Post by: mr chumley warner on October 13, 2013, 08:20:49 AM
LOL Empire seem too strong vs WOC...

I feel bad !

My 6K list used 80 Halberds * 2 with General AL on Walter , and 2 Buff Wagons and a an 20 archer BSB Scroll Caddy Bunker.

So hitting on +1 , all having 6+ Wards, and Hatred... LD 9 , 18'' bubble -re rollable with BSB.

Then 4 HBVG's, 2 Stanks, 3*3 DG's, 40 Reiksguard with a GM Runefang TOTS, Luthor H. ALso 2*5 Outriders and Balthasar Gelt...

The Reiksguard cut down 50+ CHaos Warriors bunkering his BSB, Festus, and his General.. Gelt cast the spell that gave them +1 to hit, so I must have landed so many hits it was unreal.

2 game was 3K, a watered down version of the above list... He brought 2 units of 80 Marauders , which I dispensed with easily using flanking DG's and a STank in the front lol

they fled,

I have to say I felt the pain or Purple Sun 3 times, from his Death Sorcerer but other than that I wasn't impressed lol

Have him too. Bought him back in the 90“s when he was in a blister called "adventurers". I guess he“s rare.

Painted mine last year in an effort to get rid of unpainted Empire minis. Thought I could use him as a mucisian in a greatswords regiment. -if I ever get to buy those overpriced (both in money and points) troops.
Mine not as well paintet that is  :ph34r:

Way behind in reading and replying. As people have already said she is a Mordheim Dramatis Personae special character for the Sisters and is the High Matriarch for the order. The standard GW model is ok but i for one love Victoria Lamb's conversion much better and would love a copy of it to add to my fav Mordheim warband. :-)

And that said, its rather fun to see all these old models parade in this thread (like them or not), its a bit like going to the museum. And the paintjob is allways good.

Post by: mr chumley warner on November 25, 2013, 04:48:09 PM
I need about 70 standard models ,

also about 30 unreleased. Some which may not exist even.

then i'm thinking about the C22 range, which is difficult to quantify, because GW moulded lots of poses , released some, and sold the mould casts to Foundry,

so it's very hard to qualify the extent of the C22 range,

some are documented on CCM Wiki etc, but then occasionally you see undocumented ones on ebay , which are sold with slotta, but are clearly not documented by GW, but are by Foundry

the only way to collect all of them is to buy the whole Foundry citadel duplicates,

ok they are not slotta, but they are identical in every other respect,

I hate to assume anything but I'd be willing to bet that seller is a re-caster.  They always have large lots of rare and vintage figures for sale and they are always primed white (to hide any imperfections).  Who primes their figures like that before assembling them?

I might be wrong and they might have loaded up on tons and tons of figures over the years, but I don't know...

Just look at their feedback to see all the out of print figures they've sold over time.

Sorry - Not True:


Original Rules:

Quote
You start by buying the basic version, which is the ‘ram’ version,
and then add one hull upgrade and/or one turret upgrade to your Tank.
Each upgrade has a points cost and affects the amount of Hull Points the Tank has.

Steam Tank                                Pts cost             Hull Pts
Basic (no weapons)                       250                  29

Hull upgrades                             Pts cost            Hull Pts
Main Cannon                                +25                  –2
Volley Gun                                   +50                  –2
Mortar (no turret)                        –50                 –10

Turret upgrades                       Pts cost             Hull Pts
Steam Gun                                  +25                 –2
Fighting Platform                         +120                  0

No, that is Sigmar's Hammer. If I am not mistaken, Deliverance has cannon and turret, but no Steam Gun - much like the Classic Steam Tank. But I could be wrong.
Title: Re: Chumley Warner's Empire Collection - Old Implacable Stank Variant :)
Post by: Fidelis von Sigmaringen on November 28, 2013, 01:01:23 PM
I found this on this very forum:

That thread is probably the best source.

A LONG time ago, GW had an interactive map on their website which named all twelve, and also outlined their key movements around the Empire.

I wish it still existed, because I'm not sure what to call one of my newly painted tanks...(in Hochland theme)

Using the other thread as referenced:

Conqueror - Cannon and Steam Gun (Standard)
Implacable - Mortar
Old Reliable - Volley Gun and Steam Gun
Sigmar's Hammer - No Cannon or Turret - used as a Ram
Deliverance - Extra Boiler (as a trailer)
Von Zeppel - Fighting Platform

Pride of Nuln - broken, irrepairable - on display at the Imperial Gunnery School in Nuln

Invincible
Lietdorf
Glory of Altdorf
Sigismund
Reiklander

3 of these 5 are also incapacitated. 1 of the 3 incapacitated ones was alledgely stolen by the Skaven and modified with Warpstone.
1 of the 5 has been modified to have 24 repeater handguns situated around its shell at all angles, and does not have a turret (I may have the name of this one at home somewhere).
Alledgely there is one that has been modified to have a Rocket Battery - however I don't think it is official.

It annoys me I cannot find more detail than this, considering the great interactive 'Travels of the Steam Tanks' GW once had on their website.

The original kit from GW was actually a box containing a standard artwork Conqueror in its sealed box - so it had the cannon and the wedge Henners mentioned - and the platform bits in a plastic bag.

I've got one of mine with a volley gun and the platform. So it's a Von Volley Zeppel

There is meant to be more info in White Dwarf 263

The interesting part is this can in theory be made by not spending a fortune. It's a basic steam tank with these small changes, The second boiler is the boiler from the steam tank on the  the chassis of an Empire Volley Gun. The main gun is a Mortar barrel. The steam turret is blocked off with what looks like the stopper from the Von Zeppel Kit. It also has the Master Engineer with Repeater Pistol instead.

Here is the description of how it was put together.

I hope to see you make one soon  :::cheers:::

There were some Witchhunters that never got properly released, but I think they were early, before the eventual set.
(http://www.sodemons.com/rhmordheim/unwitchhunters/IMG_0161-130916-02.jpg)

However these do not have the same style as the Flagellants and Zealots in that band.

(http://www.solegends.com/citcat2004/P1002-02.jpg)

I've looked in the Empire in Flames book and there are no pics in there of these.
They have more of a 'Possessed/Chaos' feel both in sculpt and style - maybe they were done by the same guy who did the Carnival set.

There were some Witchhunters that never got properly released, but I think they were early, before the eventual set.

I was watching these and was tempted to bid but I didn't because I reasoned I was never going to win them and would only be driving the price up for Mr Chumley. I'm glad they will be joining your collection.

The Empire General looked in dismay as on his right flank scores of Beastmen scoured and ravaged the Halberd line, forcing a partial retreat. On the right the columns of Knights were embattled and waning. Suddenly a deep drum beat.... The General and his retinue amazed to see what the noise was, as a dust storm kicked up from the forest tree line,,,  hundreds of wild men, lead by a giant hulking man, a prophet of doom !

I agree with VT, in that I can see why they're unreleased. They look more like Mordheim Gladiators. You're paintjob, as always, does justice to what are otherwise bunk sculpts. I especially like the Celt style paint/tats; it helps bring out their savagery.

Hello Chumley. Nice painting blog.
I would like to ask you a question. You buy a lot of things from Ebay, how do you know you are not buying a cheap recast? What precautions do you take?
Thanks!
Title: Re: Chumley Warner's Empire Collection - 3 men nasty sculpts lol
Post by: mr chumley warner on December 10, 2013, 08:57:37 AM
Dear Machete,

I have a circle of collectors I am In e mail dialogue with who I have met through forums or e bay etc.

I also if it's a valuable item, ask the buyer how long they have had the mini ...

I have 60 ish saved searches, so if I see a cast coming up time and time again, it may pose risk..

I don't believe there are many recasts out there.

Also I am paint stripping large swathes of OOP models,

So I doubt a re cast would arrive to me painted

I think now its easy to do resin your more likely to get moody forge world figures than recast metal oop minis on the fact people are lazy and are going to do something easy to produce and make money from.

Surely in a glass cabinet if you wanted to steal them you just break the glass if locked? There in your house, someones got to get in there first. Unless youre worried about your wife and baby nicking them.

I remember the one with the club from a very old WD, 120ish

2 hour job !

Really simple scheme, blue mixed with silver, red, yellow etc. The horse tone was set by the base colour, so needed only a little work, wash and highlight ....

Each stage was accelerated using a heater to dry  :::cheers:::

Superb sir, I am constantly inspired by the sheer volume and quality of miniatures that you have collected and painted.  I must ask, what is on the bottom of her robe, the little green things? They look like nurglings in some pictures, and in others they look like dragon snot.  This is not a cut on the paint job, just on my ability to see the image.

On those facts I would guess Mordheim figures - maybe Averlanders, as I know you already have Kislevites and Ostlanders.

You not tempted to start the Chumley 40k unreleased models as well?

I would be very curious to know how he sourced all these, the three ups and resin masters must be very rare. Is he a relative to Mr Kirby?

all 11 of them  :evil:

They are indeed the real deal. I obtained a full set a couple of years back before I got rid of them when I decided to concentrate on 1980s figures. There are a few part sets kicking around but very few full sets.

plus the use of a heater to dry each wash , makes it easy to speed up painting, almost instant drying if you do it right,

It isnt the once from GW its from some other manufacturer.

"maybe a bit" ? I think you can skip those words.

I do like your color choice on the feathers. Altdorf blue-red. I am trying to picture the poor zookeeper in charge of dyeing the feathers...especially considering the size of the claws. But, it's a good choice with this kind of sculpt you gotta go all in with the color choice as well :-P

The last 2 games we played, he used Purple Sun to good effect... Although I won, I decided this game I would open with artillery and ranged attacks, and then engage where I could win , and pin him with 2 stanks where I wanted to hold up his line.

It worked amazingly , my buff wagons gave my Crazies and Halberds a massive boost, the Crazies decimated 40 Marauders with ease, landing 38 Kills round 1 ?!?!?! HAHA

The Crazies went on to kill about 15 Chaos Warriors before dying.

The 40 IC Knights held up the right flank, ending with a lovely charge with 15 men left alive.

I used Karl Franz the right to kill his cannons , but he kept rolling 1's and 2's to hit !

The game ended with me having 4100 left alive and him with 1000 ish.

Warriors of Chaos beaten again!

We have decided to alternate sides next game, i'll be laying WOC against Empire...

The Knights are awesome. So much better than the current plastic ones, but the Battle Lord, not really my cup of tea. His gigantic head is truly impressive though. I guess that's why he's the battle lord, all that brain space he must be like a walking super computer. Still all I could think of was yeash, his poor mother!

I suppose his value is more his rarity than the awesomeness of the sculpt.  Well played sir, well played.

Ok I failed, the guy who owns these doesn't want to be spoken with. All I know is that he's an older gent, who worked for GW in the 80's. The mystery lives on !

Here are two picks which I have titled in order that google images may pick them up over time.

The good news is confirmation that they exist and that if he was willing to sell them but changed his mind then he might sell them at some stage in the future.

I wonder if he has Agnes with the Flag as well  8-)

Well, contact him (via his seller dude, naturally) and say as much. As you did with the Battle Lord, explain what you are doing with your collection and make a formal offer for the items.

I would strongly recommend going to see them in person and buying them that way.

The Forum here located those Knights, and a nice guy found he had 10 randomly, from his days at GW years ago!

I secured 5, 5 are still in his possession.

Are you sure about this? I mean, I appreciate the overwhelming desire to get that last couple figures for a unique collection but thing is, that figure is never going to be worth that much to anyone else, so you'll never get that money back if you decide to sell the collection at some point.

I am proud to announce me securing 3 new metal unreleased 1987 GW Empire Models, and one new unreleased Marauder Fighter, also from 87', the golden era!

Post by: mr chumley warner on March 05, 2014, 04:09:49 PM

I had only seen one of these before, a picture sent to me 3 years ago,

The archer is a Marauder unreleased model, the TAB states Marauder ,

Much like those 3 undocumented Marauder models we discussed in the Forum last year, which no one has yet authenticated, but 2 guys said they had seen on a flyer.

This archer looks like it shares some of the same moulding as the Marauder Citizen archer, but with some additional bits added all over.

I'll paint him shortly

All are now listed on CCM WIKI

I have been researching with some contacts, apparently there are several Marauder Empire models yet documented and never released.

so far it's really good,

it gives a better consistency to metal models and also stops the paint smudging off if you accidentally touch the model etc..

I can see on CCM WIKI , there are some images of some, unreleased ones,  but very little is talked about online.

Here are mine!! Secured with the Queens finest English pounds.

Some of the old and unreleased stuff is great, and some of it is ok, and I have fond memories of some minatues, but I can't say I'm a fan of a lot of the old pre 4th-edition stuff. I much preferred when they settled on puff/slash/beard/codpeiece as the Empire look, and I think a lot of what I like from before that are stuff that fits with that aesthetic.  So, I really like that wizard.  Shame they never released that one.

I've been hanging around this thread for a while. You have some really nice shiny stuff.. ;) now, so far I haven't been planing any raid on your house or any such thing... I mean, not seriously anyway.

With this you crossed the line. My Kislev army needs whatever this is. So if you'd be so kind to provide me with your address and a suitable time window where I could sneak in and borrow those two (see, I'm a nice and reasonable guy, only two of all those minis and they aren't even empire minis, not really..) for an undetermined time without the intention to give them back..

My Kislev army needs all the help they can get whilst fighting to save your precious empire...

Given that it's unclear what category these unreleased GW sculpts were intended for , I am naming them ''Unreleased Kislev Boyars'' .

I'm allowed to , as I have never seen them painted and shown online , lol

see ccm wiki unreleased empire section for backup.

I'm just preparing 2 unreleased Kislev models for painting

I've been hanging around this thread for a while. You have some really nice shiny stuff.. ;) now, so far I haven't been planing any raid on your house or any such thing... I mean, not seriously anyway.

With this you crossed the line. My Kislev army needs whatever this is. So if you'd be so kind to provide me with your address and a suitable time window where I could sneak in and borrow those two (see, I'm a nice and reasonable guy, only two of all those minis and they aren't even empire minis, not really..) for an undetermined time without the intention to give them back..

My Kislev army needs all the help they can get whilst fighting to save your precious empire...

It is the right thing to do.

My best mate got his 330i M Sport BMW nicked by lock snapping, so I've beefed up with multiple defence here pal !

LOL

Going back to the release date, I would say sometime after 4th Edition, after the Kislev Winged Lancers/Ice Queen and Horse Archers.  But probably a prototype prior to the later release of Tsar Boris and the Gryphon Legion, and the Kossars. 

He has a lot of very similar features to the Gryphon Legion champion

I recon working for GW in 87' would have been amazing,

turn up for work, smoke a huge bifta , then sculpt a load of fighters, leave some unreleased, and keep them until 2014, when you can make a small fortune,

instead I work in a pressure cooker where my job security is defined by my 3 monthly rolling sales performance lol

I do get a brand new car every 3 years though, of my choice

Only a few months late to satiate Chumley's curiosity, I've spotted a Battle Lord - not quite in the wild, nor for sale, but nevertheless painted, which is remarkable enough.

The barbarian on the left you painted at the end of last month is one my favourite models. I remember seeing him in catalogues and always thought one day I would get him. Then he became unavailable. Years later I managed to get him from eBay. I really have no use for him in my army but I still love him. Such a dynamic pose!

In the old days of mailing lists (as opposed to forums like this one) I remember reading some UK gamers referring to the "thieving Welshies" or something like that. As an ignorant American, I always assumed it was a bit of friendly joking, but was never certain.

I have some custom made movement trays in MDF coming my way,

basically 20 * 20mm bases , in lines of 3 deep, long and thin, to fit in wall cabinets with 5 shelves.

So each of my wall cabinets can display 300 models.

I plan to lock them in, so i'll display all the completed 80's collections, and unreleased stuff in wall cabs, and my main gaming army in the glass standing cab upstairs.

Along those lines, has anyone with an extensive collection tried to get it insured? I can think of a few forum members who might want to, but I'm curious how difficult it would be to value an entire collection in legal/insurance terms.

I'm not sure about a collection like chumley's but I have mentioned it once to my insurance dude and he said that as long as I can give an estimate of the worth that it was included in the normal contents insurance of your house. (Netherlands)

There's a bit of stereotyping going on here from the era they were made with the names and tags - all travelling players were dodgy. 
The one you're missing actually has 'gypsy' on the slotta, even though it says Thug on the catalogue pic you posted.

Most UK 'Contents' insurance has a 'Valuable Goods' clause which lists an amount somewhere in the £10K - £30K bracket and then gives a "single item" maximum value.
Knowing insurance companies ability to bend the rules I made a point of explaining exactly what I had.
It would seem that you could consider each individual model as a single valuable item, but they might also consider an "army" or indeed a collection as a single item.
I had an interesting conversation about it as I was asked if the figures were all kept together or in batches, and we then went on to discuss a jewellery box where there may be several rings in one box but all with different individual values.

It would be sensible to get clarification at time of taking the policy out.
   
It's all a bit of a moot point as if you had a fire for example and all your metal minis melted, what are the chances of actually replacing them?

Sigmar's disciples followed him to the sea of claws, where upon utterance of some sacred ancient tongue, the waves parted , and they walked through. When they reached the other side, Sigmar said ''wait all whilst I sit down and sculpt a rare mini'', and thus he made 100 unreleased Halfling Pimp models, ''take these pimps so that you may remember me, and pass them down through generations, this is the body of Sigmar''

She's one of the Townsfolk and Villagers added by GW into the Scenario Packs, not on general release as a standard villager.

There are a few like that, Kirsten Mark II, Sandra Prangle etc.

Many days later, I have finished this long plog. Excellent work and will be coming back for more as I start my journey of finally doing my Empire/Kislev army thanks to the inspiration provided by this plog.

Also, belated Grats on the Battle Lord!

I've always liked this blog because it literally consists of everything.

First you see a bunch of weird, disproportionate models and then every once in while there's a jewel which makes you think: "Oh, they've really nailed that one..."

Looking forward to seeing this finished Chumley.   :icon_biggrin:

No.

That would be the .454 Casull, or the .500 Linebaugh currently.
The desert Eagle "only" fires .50 cal ammo, which in itself is lighter than forementioned. Add to that the fact that part of the bullet energy is used to reload (pistol vs revolver), and surely you'll understand that the Desert Eagle is not what you claim.

Also, I've fired both Desert Eagle and Casull and can confirm the theories above. You don't have to wear gloves to fire the DE...

Isn't that close to Skraeling - what the Norse called the indigenous population. Then there would have been interbreeding ...........

There was a Skraeling band for Saga which came out in 2012 from Gripping Beast I think.

I haven't really studied the other factions , bar from my interest when I was 10/11 years old,

I had a gap from 1991-2011 LOL

Maybe it is a cheeky head swap , never released officially !

I have secured almost every Empire human unreleased model now, I've been saving them for this part of the PLOG,

Nice spot, the base looks like Morbius the Liche with a few minor changes, the staff top, head and accessories. It probably happened quite a bit. Different designs get pulled from one set into another especially with unreleased and released stuff.

Well how many figures have you got that are quite close?
There's that knight 'fighter' where there are three slightly different versions:

(http://www.solegends.com/citcat1988/cat1988p012-00.jpg)

Nos:  6,   11,  and   20 for example.

It must have been an easy option to take an existing figure, add a greenstuff beard and hair and bingo you have a new figure ........ which you decide not to release.   :engel:

Of course it could have been the other way round - someone sculpted your unreleased wizard, and then the boss said; "No!"
Later it was reworked to a necromancer.

Yep it's actually very detailed, lovely to paint.

The shoulder armour pads are also unique and well crafted.

Very rare for some reason, - I think that other models in the TOM launch were also released later as general release fighters or halflings, but Lord and Ldy McDeath only saw 1985 release, hence there are not many which survive now.

Has any1 else got one?

It's hard to find any painted examples online.  :::cheers:::

I noticed that while the body is the same, the face seems different: the unpainted version is open mouth and showing teeth (and in my opinion a bit zombie-ish or scared), the painted version is looking better, with a squared chin, fierce eyes and looks more proud like a hero.

I don't think it's only a matter of camera angle or paint ability, so I guess the metal version first came out this way but didn't embody the hero essence perfectly so the head was later resculpted. But that's just my thought, of course.

To hear this from someone who embraces the "expensive and time-consuming" side of a hobby as crazychuffinmental as you do, this is a warning to be taken seriously. I sincerely hope Chumley Jr comes to understand the importance and value of the Chumley legacy - not least for insurance purposes :)

That minia comes from a preslotta but it has been partially resculpted: feet are longer and left hand is definetely bigger, plus this version doesn't have knife and pouch attached to his belt.
Just one note about the paint, do you thing he's wearing some sort of knee protection on his right leg?

So are there any slotta-based, citadel human figures from the 1980s that you don't have, perhaps barring ones like the nuln spearman?
Title: Re: Chumley Warner's Empire. C46 Militia
Post by: mr chumley warner on June 16, 2014, 02:10:09 PM
I'm leaving the C26 Fighters until last, as GW only released a hand full in slotta format, before selling all the castings to Foundry...

In terms of the 1985-7 GW and Marauder range of Fighters, Villagers , Traveling Players, Clerics, Wizards, Mercenaries, Militia, Rangers, Paladins, Heroic Fighters, Big Fighters, Battle Lords, Vikings, Barbarians,  I have all apart from about 15-20 models.

I am missing the Nuln Spearman, Greely, the Guard Captain and some other rarities, but they have only ever been spotted once, and never seen painted apart from in WD90

Are you going to copy some people's interesting or thoughtful conversions.
I notice you converted Von Raukov to a foot version.

Have you considered the other Electors?
Or other metal heroes such as old Kurt Helborg or Ludwig Schwarzhelm?
What about this guy:

Love your work, the painting, the collecting and dedication.

What happens when you finish?

The speed you paint you could probably make decent money from commission painting but you would have to let go of those minis.

I suppose that depends on how much you earn in your current employment and how much you enjoy your work. Only you can answer that question.

I think he paints to relieve the stress of his job, and I suspect if it was 'work' he would not enjoy it as much as he obviously does.

He's a rare bird our Mr CW - an avid obsessional  :engel: collector who also paints wonderfully - I have never understood collectors who keep things like our 'toys' in the original boxes or blisters.
Maybe a matchbox or corgi car which comes all nicely painted and finished, but not something like bare minis.

Technically, that's not a machete.  It's somewhere between a skinning knife and a meat cleaver.  That hook is for gutting and skinning.  That said, great model and paint job.

It's a hedging bill - and ancient agricultural tool used for shaping and laying hedgerows that seperate fields - and a very effective weapon of war

Not sure I'd agree on the "very effective" bit, but otherwise you are spot on. Though it's quite possible that in less "hedgy" parts of the world similar blades are used in butchery.

If you put the same blade on a longer handle you can use it to prune trees... or equip a unit of medieval English peasants (or halflings) with polearms on the cheap!

I'm afraid you won't find those easily.

There was a thread on the Warseer somewhere and that captain along with those handgunners and other state troops were greens just for showcase and were made by the studio's new modeler.

Try checking the old rumour roundups at Warseer. You'll find it there.

If you're talking the ones with a very puff and slash uniform, tall and bulky, and have lots of feathers, they're 4th edition.  The 6th edition ones are a little thinner, wearing heavy plate and fit diagonally on bases.

GW only listed the C26 range in a couple of White Dwarfs, as Men at Arms and something else ,

anyway , the range was massive, Foundry have bought all the casts.

With GW it's impossible to tell what was even made in slotta format.

Hence I am going to just buy the whole 330 ish Foundry Models

Remembering that they were also 25mm scale, when you stick them on a slottabase and then use a bit of filler to blend the model's base in, they then fit well with later larger minis.

Hey chumley here's a bit more detail about the unreleased stuff you posted earlier:
http://www.cmdante.com/2010_04_01_archive.html

As I mentioned earlier, they were trainee sculpts made by Giorgio Bassani back in 2010.
However, it seems like they were never cast.

I hope that helps to shine the light on those mysterious models. :D

I'm seriously considering a radical colour scheme !

Red armour plates, and cream puff and slash garments on every man

with maybe a turquoise feather on each hat ,

Those are awesome, though, the skin tone and sickly green color make them look a bit...undead.  I really like how they brought out the armor, anyway.  Professionals...*sigh*.   :unsure:

I'm not a massive fan of coloured armour, but otherwise it looks good. Looking forward to the whole unit.  :-D

Out of curiousity - how much time does it take you to paint one? I'm currently painting some as well to a similar painting-level and it takes me up to 4 hours for one (just the painting itself), which is really testing my patience. I guess you do it in less than 1,5 hours. :unsure:

Bit of fun here ,

I had a base coated duplicate model, and decided to go nuts with a huge palette of colours, like a painting, to finish it, not at all my usual style!

Selling on e bay if any1 wants some Chumley history !

The light aint great so I had to take the pic in night mode on dark background ,

I recon the final result has a nice realism to it  :::cheers:::

I actually think the purple is excellent - unusual but it works, and the support colours are suitably muted.

Afterall purple is the 'imperial' colour - so these could well be the Emperor's personal bodyguard.

I actually like the champion a lot. I always thought that this figure is ideal for conversions. Head and arm swaps are fairly simple and effective, like your conversion shows.
Nice choice of head, too. It makes him look more veteran.

Those eyes look impossible.  How close do people hold up the miniatures to their faces?  I'm far-sighted, so I can only hold up a miniature so close, and even with magnifying lenses I don't think I could ever paint eyes like that.  Makes me a sad panda.

the score was over 8, then in a couple of proxy IP votes it slipped to 6.5 ish,

That's why I hate CMON, they haven't coded the voting at all, it should be one vte per logged in member, but you can vote when not logged in and use proxy IP sites to multi vote , essentially spamming 1/10

I don't get why someone would go to that much effort, and hold that much of a grudge.  It seems exceptionally petty, over something that really doesn't matter in life, namely giving a score for how well painted a war games figure is.  Maybe they're a Dwarf.

Have you ever low scored anyone or made a negative comment on someone else's model?

Even so, if someone said something negative about one of mine, if it was fair criticism I wouldn't be bothered, but even if it was just nasty and personal I'd just leave it. Let them have some bizarre opinion.  I'm not going to get dragged into it.   I certainly wouldn't go and try and go on a vendetta to criticise everything they ever did.

Couldn't agree with this sentiment more. 
I have no desire to post my work on CMON, or any other site where people are invited to vote and score my effort.  I get evaluated ad-nauseum in my line of work and that is important, and stomach churning, enough for me.  I would hate being scored on something that I do to relax.   That's why I love this site so much.  I can just post stuff and let people see what I'm doing with no associated stress.   :smile2:

Hey Chumley I see you take pics with a light box... I built myself a lightbox but it seems to wash out the lights too much... ie; when I take photo's with my iPhone (the only camera I have - for now) the white balance is all cack and washed out when I'm using the box... any suggestions?  Your pics are great and I am so jealous of your painting speed and collection.

Lots of natural light, and then GIMP art tool,

there is a colours, level, auto , tool ,

which normalises the lighting automatically,

so if the photo looks overly whited out, this tool corrects for it

At just under £20 per troll, considering some of them are vintage and they're all well-painted, that's not too bad a deal. A shame I don't have £350 knocking about to spend on trolls, really, as I've wanted a few for ages.

The third-from-left front ranker is a Blood Bowl interloper, if I'm not mistaken. I have a similar one I've been trying to strip for months. It's the hardest model to strip I've ever encountered; God knows what it was originally painted with.

3 of the Trolls cost me in the £30 region, the rest £15-20,

If you want a horde of decent metal Trolls, painted nicely, then you can't achieve it without a fairly substantial investment.

You can sometimes pick up cheaper badly painted ones online and strip em, but it's a pain in the rear !

By the time you have stripped the paint, processed and painted the model, you will wish you had just bought one unpainted LOL

then a river, forest, roads ,

It's better than I could have imagined, finely crafted, feels like stone to the touch, really dense resin , weighs about 5 KG

Would love to have a castle setup, haven't played a Siege game in a long time and they are great.

All you need now are a couple of the Warhammer Siege Towers which they still sell

(http://www.games-workshop.com/resources/catalog/product/230x238/99120299001_SiegeTowerNEW01.jpg)

and find the Siege Attackers & Defenders boxes on ebay

I've always liked the Panther's paint scheme best but I the plastic set doesn't do them justice like the old metal figures did. I agree with Zak, if the figures are vanilla knights Rieksguard is best. Though if you wanted to do go all out, paint them as individual lords and knights. Third edition had a unit like this composed of the local knights and nobles who were not a part of any of the orders. Imperial Heraldry being considerably more baroque than Brett I think they would look awesome.

I like the old Karl-Franz model.  But I preferred the second version where they gave him a better version of Ghal-Maraz or Runefang option. 
This version has the awful chunky lump of a hammer - same as on the griffon for the old war altar, but at least on the war altar it doesn't look too heavy for a human to even lift, let alone one handed

cobblestone bases , marienberg colours, red , blue, yellow,

Excusing yourself for lack of activity at a hobby is a very strange thing to do.

I hope "the lack of relaxness" does not stress you to much.  :closed-eyes:

 :unsure: Not much variation I know from experience. Putting them on their base comes very close because of that.  With 20 of them I ran out of options and change in sides to put them so they show as much as variation as possible. I even swapped a couple of heads to get more variation.  It''s more often done on this forum on the unipose models of the 5th and previous editions.

I am very curious what you are going to make of them colour scheme wise...  If possible do a tutorial on them Mr C always nice to see how it's done by someone else.  :smile2:

Alas I have been slain ,

the IC Knight Horde fled to a Yell and Bawl from a giant with terribly unlucky dice rolls!!

So we had a second game today , and alas, the darn IC Knight Horde rolled a 1+2 = 3, to charge Trolls Horde, (my knight had the banner of flame),,,,, so they failed the charge , giving him time to re group , and flank me with 3 monsters, ,,,,,,,, guess what, IC Knights failed Terror test as he charged me, rolling 11 , and fled off !!!

Both are examples of why I am 100% taking Reiksguard Knights in Horde from now on with a nicely Ward Saved GM in unit, for the Immune to Pysch !!

In a game this size, losing your key unit is a no no lol

I think Luminark horses are good but not amazing.  The poses are too similar, like they're doing dressage.  Detail is nice though.  And miles better than the 25 year old boring ponies we have to put up with.

The old models in one unit together though doesn't look right to me.  It's a mashup of Knight s Panther, Knights of the White Wolf, Reiksguard and High Helms.

We're talking fluff from 25 years ago.  The emperor wanted to create a new order of tall knights with tall helmets, they are the ones in the photo with the tall thin helmet feathers.  Most of the unpainted in the third rank or the first unpainted guy from the left of the front rank in Chumley's picture

For sure man , all good, 30 is good, but 6 cannons, that is nice lol

LOL, I have six metal ones and I believe two of the plastic ones I have never put together. Four mortars. six Hellblasters, four old style metal, one new style metal, and one plastic. Rocket battery. I also have a war wagon and a new style metal STank with the hellblaster variant. Oh yeah, and two Dogs of War galloper guns. Oh yes, I have the Bruegalburg Bell cannon.

Speaking of which, I really want a couple of those Bruegalburg great cannon, but then some people might accuse me of running a gun line. :-P

Here is a picture of my next acquisition if the Gräfin approves my budget.

I am installing a wood burning stove in my house, a big one, to further take me off grid after my recent Solar Panel ventures.

The problem is that you have to buy the wood, which is ok up to a point...

I'm looking for a tree surgeon on this forum, maybe that is your profession or you know one who also likes warhammer!!?!

Or maybe you are a farmer in the UK with a large land holding, who had occasional trees falling down and drying out...

Anyway, the trade is, wood for my burner, in exchange for me painting models for you !

Well, that was a throw away historical comment about the Northern European tradition (citation needed) of hanging criminals on elm trees. I'm reading a book about hanging at the moment (yes, bad things happened in history and I want to learn about them!) and it was on my mind. I'm still on the 13th Century at the moment, so I can't comment on Interregnum corporal punishment methods.

No offence intended. Plainly, I thought.

If you are going to take offence at any group of words that can be related to anything bad that has ever happened to an Irishman, then I suggest that neither the written nor spoken word are for you. And maybe games simulating warfare should be avoided, because I've heard there were once wars in Ireland. With guns and spears and blood and all sorts. Gross.

I suppose I was offended not specifically by your commenting on the punishment of hanging, but because I felt you were being flippant about it.
In all seriousness, however, were any records ever kept about what gallows used to be made of? I'm sure oak, ash, beech, birch, pine or even chestnut would do just as well...?

Yes, that's correct. From my reading so far it seems that the famous place of execution at Tyburn, London was referred to as "the elms" even in Norman and later times when a gibbet existed. I haven't cross-referenced yet, but I assume this is due to an Anglo Saxon and/or Norse tradition.

I saw an excellent show by comedian Wil Hodgson about British Hangmen in Edinburgh this summer (it wasn't a comedy show per se, but contained humour nonetheless). Similarly I can see how a comment I intended to be darkly and ironically humorous good be considered in poor taste with insufficient context, so sorry for that.

As for records about what gallows etc are made out of, I suspect that there are detailed records, particularly from the 19th and 20th centuries when hanging became (an albeit grim) science of sorts.

Also, having read about the Hundred Years War and the detailed records made by civil servants in the 1300s, I would bet that quite old records exist about gallows somewhere, as someone would have built them and submitted a bill. Some things have changed surprisingly little in 800 years.

@zak - how do you have a forest? and how exactly would you have one that WASN'T tree laden??? :)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forest#Etymology

Historically, there are many times when the word has been used to refer to NOT a wooded area, but rather "hunting area" (or, specifically, the Royal Hunting Grounds). This was the problem with Robin Hood in Sherwood Forest - he was hunting the king's deer in the "forest" (or, specifically, the King's hunting grounds). While most forests are woodlands, it does not necessarily follow they all (historically) were - although today the word forest pretty much means woodland.

If it was aimed at the plastics sprue, would it not have just ended up as the one-piece body and legs, and the head and sword arm would have been separate anyway.
Or do they design total figures then cut them up to make the sprue, with no concept of how they would be mixed by us plebs ................

Years ago I knew a guy who worked for an industrial plastics company, and ran all their prototyping projects. Somewhere I have some stuff he made me using a very early 3D printer, the awesome type which used lasers and liquid resin. The company was so paranoid that he couldn't even confirm that he did work on GW projects (he did) or for Todd McFarlane (he also did), let alone tell me what those projects were. I used to get a lot of emails saying, "OMG you would love this!" and it was hard to tell who was most frustrated by it!

It occurs to me that I could now say, "I have prototypes of all the original Ogre Kingdoms models!" or " in my loft I have all the alien races that were rejected when they chose to make Tau!" and you might believe me. Cos, legal reasons mean I can't show you!  :happy:

I would paint them red and yellow with some white tossed in for the odd details.  For shields, you should use some shields from sword and buckler men, like the shields here from foundry:

Love the Estalian Swordsmen. However it also makes me feel really depressed as well, such great miniatures and fluff and what do we get now, crappy fluff and 40k looking Skaven Stormfiends.

Anyway looking forward to seeing these all painted up  :::cheers:::

@TheRedGraf: How exactly do those guys work? Are they multi-part models? And how are they based? Do they have a round thing that's glued into a recessed base? Or something more like a GW "slotta" tab?
Title: Re: Chumley Warner's Empire. Fe fe fe fe Scorchio !
Post by: The Red Graf on January 24, 2015, 03:22:49 AM
The Gamezone figure is exactly like GW. They are a very conscious attempt to copy the GW look and they are very much like a GW metal figure down to the slotta base. I believe that this figure has a separate banner arm.

I have less experience with the Arsenal figures but I suspect that they are a single piece metal figure. I imagine that Warlord has reworked them a bit to fit into their ranges. The picture I showed is from before they were bought out.

Sorry I don't have more info than that.

Model in the middle is Pirazzo with a sculpted collar.  Pirazzo is a veteran of a long campaign in lustria and has torn clothes and no collar, so you have to fix the clothes and sculpt a collar to make him fit neatly

Not sure how accurate they are, but I do recognise the pictures; they're from the old White Dwarf article that described the fluff behind these variants. I think the 'Von Zeppel' is correct, and I don't know about the 'Alter Kamerad' name, but that's definitely a Volley Gun in it's hull.... :)

I have the Empire collectors guide

"Conquerer" is the basic steam tank with a steam cannon and turret gun.   Pretty much all the current set makes.  They missed a trick with that kit, they could easily have made variants in a plastic kit.

"Sigmar's Hammer" has no cannon, or turret, but is closed top, and has a bedroll on top.   Has more flags/pennants an alternative chimney top

"Von Zeppel" had the fighting platform, but no cannon or gun, an alternative chimney

"Old Reliable" has a 3 barrel volley gun, a standard pole and other baggage bits

"Implacable" has the open top.  It has a mortar, it did come with a thing for the mortar, and a metal mortar, but pictures show it converted with the current plastic mortar.   It didn't have mortar crew though, so those are usually added from the cannon set.  It did have an alternative chimney and other bits.  *Edit* it also has steam Swivel guns on attached the hull

Those were the only ones that were made available as kits to buy.

There was one called "Deliverance" or something, that had a trailer which was a spare bolier and wheels, mounted on the old metal helblaster, or could have been the old metal mortar carriage.   I can't see how the extra boiler would work since there's no way of filling it, so must be dragged around as spare parts.   That one was somebody's own conversion though, so not an official one, though it was featured in White Dwarf, and I think added to the named list.  N.B.  "Deliverance" is named as a steam tank in the Battle for Nuln in The End Times: Thanquol.   And in The End Times: Glottkin, the steam tank saved from Talabheim is "Miragliano"

I have also seen Von Zeppels with the volley gun part, but that's not the official build for it.

Then there was the Halfing Soup Tank "Kathleen"

Oxtcutor is right on the button, as always.  there also some other versions that GW never produced conversion kits for, but were either depicted in their article on tanks or in the fluff stories.  One such was the stank armed with repeaters sticking out of the ports along the sides and front. but no cannon.  another involved one the other variants in that the engineer (Von Zepple, I think) was one handed because he lost the other hand when a steam tank he built armed with twin hell blaster blue up when it was fired.  There is a old style tank  the small one converted to match another story of a stank that was a flame thrower and towed it a trailer behind.   I am sure with a little research these can be found, and possibly several more, as in the one the skaven supposedly captured.     steveb

There was one, which I believe I saw on this forum, where someone made a Steam Tank that looked like a locomotive engine. That one was cool as hell. For some reason I thought you had posted a link to that one Steve? Of course my mind may be playing tricks on me.

My eyes just focus on the really big gaps, sorry.  :-(

The metal stank is a pain in the backside to fit properly, but I think better to fill those gaps before painting, to make it look like one part.  Possibly a bit too late to sort now.  It does mean greenstuffing, which is one of my least favourite things, as I can't sculpt much very well.

One thing I think would stand out is putting a name or some writing on the scroll work on the front of it

Agreed; I'd personally like to have a couple of strong-looking(either physically or mentally) female miniatures to represent female citizens of the Empire in whatever capacity; whether as a Sister of Sigmar, a mercenary or a legal witch, as trained by the Colleges in Altdorf.

Those Mordheim Sisters very rarely come up on eBay.  It took me 3 years to get a set, and it cost me a lot.  But I've seen them go for more than that since.  I'd argue that some sellers don't know the difference between them and the more commonly available Sisters, with the prices for those in the last couple of years.

P.S.  sorry Mr Chumley, mine are not for sale.   Though if I do see any going, I will let you know

I had been searching for this guy for a while and yesterday when I posted the picture here I realized that the sculptor was Michael Anderson. I know Michael slightly through the internet because of some help he gave me when I was looking for another miniature a while back. I contacted him yesterday about this halfling and I found out there are at least three versions of the figure. Michael said that it was sculpted  mostly for fun. By the way, Michael is developing a new line of Halflings for Westfalia miniatures and they look awesome.

The second variant floating around the net.
(http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d103/DarrenLatham/PICT0099.jpg)

A third variant Michael showed me.

Those trolls are awesome, but they are the size of giants.  I would put them on par with the marauder giant in terms of height.  Not sure they would fit on a 40mm square... likely would need a 50mm square each.

Make your own squig mangler. Take two or more smaller squigs add chains, put on same size base as the larger one.
If I can find then, I used the old citadel trolls [1980's] for my orc army.

6 in fact !

Perfect for 3000 pts of O and G !

HAHA MUHAHA

I've planted them on round bases as you can see, and will add some Goblin and SNotling crew to each and paint them all up nice

Total cost of the 6 = £12

Sorry to buzz kill but that doesn't look like the 1987 Skull Crusher.  The Skull Crusher has three wheels and is Goblin crewed.  That looks like the mid-90's Orc Rock Lobber (four wheels).

Marauder released an Orc stone thrower around 1989, but is a different design.

I've got a fan set up, these orcs are easy , all over base of light brown, then fan dry, then add green skin,garments get darker brown basey wash, then some metalics, then wash the whole model, then under a fan , then wash again, fan, then highlight and next !

So I realised I had an old GW 1985 villagers cart , metal, in bits...

Several hours later I scratch built an Orc Chariot lol

I used some Foundry Boar's I had , which are quite small, and some empire bits from my box,

It's a bit pimped out !

I have some Kev Adams Orcs in the post , one will make a good rider !


Pics will follow soon lol

Hmmm, I know Orcs and Goblins are a wacky army, but I'd generally do each unit in a matching colour scheme, on the basis that they're all from one clan/tribe, T.B.H. :-)

To clarify Chumley, you paint jobs are making me green(pun intended) with envy, but I just don't think a real unit of Night Gobbos would be that bright, let alone have such a mixed bag of uniforms/colour schemes; I thought when one tribe conquers another, the survivors are forced to adopt the colours of the victorious tribe?

The shields are available on ebay, but sometimes like £15 for one sprue,

so you have to wait a while to secure a better deal.

They are the best shields still to this day IMO.

I'm planning a nasty tactic,

basically nuke the enemy with my artillery , and have a Night Goblin dual train 12*5 blocks , either side of a unit fo 6 trolls, then inside behind the trolls, I have an orc BSB and Orc big boss as general , for the LD and BSB bubble,

it's a cheap trick , the Night Gobbos with nets will be steadfast and LD 8 , and grind down anyone with nets lol

then i'm working on a dirty 30 man unit of squig hoppers , and spider riders,

probably gonna also use a 40 man horde 8*5 train of savage orcs with spears , which get frenzied 2 attacks front row and 2 further rows, = 21 attacks dished out, 1st round choppas,

I recon Orcs are made for trains of 5 wide

They've been off the site for a long time.  I was after some a while back to fill out a unit.  Knightly Orders are still available, but frequently go temporarily out of stock.  Those horses should have been replaced ten years ago though.

I would have thought they'd be pretty easy to find on eBay though

Are they the resin ones GW still sell?

The 4 on the outside look like the 2003 Sculpts and the one in the middle looks like 4th Ed. I wonder why they only made one of the 4th Ed Hoppers into resin and all the 2003 ones.

The 4th Ed Hoppers are best in my opinion simply because of the Squigs, the 4th Ed Squigs look a lot more malevolent, I think it's the eyes and facial expressions that are lost in the 2003 ones which are a bit bland looking.

Anyway look forward to seeing more  :::cheers:::

Interesting combo; I'd say that kit is the most recent one, from the last two years or so. I don't recall ever hearing about Knightly Order upgrade packs before then; the only thing I ever heard of was metal Knightly Order figures, of which the White Wolves never even had a musician.

The Blazing Sun upgrade packs came out in late 2010 iirc. The standard Knight upgrade pack cost around £6 and the command upgrade pack around £10. The more recent price was around £16 for the command pack just before they pulled them from the store I believe. (one of the reasons I never picked them up)

Hi Guys and Gals.

I am a bit hard up after doing 3 major DIY projects this year lol.

I am considering selling my secret resin, GW unreleased Games Workshop State Trooper.

I think it's the 7th edition , basically the Empire State Troopers Box Set, Plastic, the monkey faced bare foot guys, GW made a few extra sculpts, and I have one that never saw the light of day.

It's painted by me. Nordland colour scheme,

I am not allowed to show any images, but if someone seriously wants to purchase it, I can share a pic over PM.

It's a swordsman with shield, puff n slash arms, shoes, feathered metal cap, beard , metal cod piece and breast plate, looks like the plastic sprue ones, would fit in well,

Totally unique, probably only one in existence.

£60 no offers..

Guys, don't worry i'm not selling my collection, I just had a nice Pegasus , a Bret one, with a bits box bashed Empire General , that I painted ages ago to a very nice standard.

I made a nice auction on e bay and sold it to a gent in Madrid for £35.....

It only cost me £2 to make...

So maybe now I'm thinking I could do some on the side painting and selling,

Can I ask , would it be better from a sales perspective to put monsters or monstrous cavalry on Round Bases to appeal to the AOS crowd for the sake of selling painted models?

If yes , what size bases should I use for Dragon Ogres?

(I landed 3 on e bay for £16 , metal OOP, another 3 lol, which is a bargain, I can paint them up and treble the value or better ).

Title: Re: Chumley Warner's Empire. Query
Post by: Darknight on August 17, 2015, 01:28:06 PM
I would suggest you attach the models to a temporary base which you do not paint. So, if they are plastic models, just lightly glue them in place (perhaps even put little blocks of sprue in as spacers, to make it easier to remove). For metal models, do much the same - little spacers but superglue.

That will mean they can easily be removed and people can base them themselves.

Then, you are i) appealing to both groups ii) not wasting your time basing them yourself iii) not tying yourself to a particular style of basing (many people have a particular style of basing they want to do for their armies)

I didn't keep up with 8th.  Once I determined that it was less than 6th and 7th (in a values sort of way, certainly not a cost), I didn't spend any more time or effort on it.  Have no idea what most of the other armies outside of the one's I use, mostly Empire, had in 8th.  On top of less than interesting rules, too many expensive army books to keep up with anymore.  And now they're charging $150 for fluff (?) books in W:AoS! :icon_eek:  Seems to me they've combined armies, but maybe combined books too?  Giving up and blowing up the Olde World, well, we already know how I think of that. I'm wondering if the kid's are getting their parents to buy those $150 books? :icon_lol:

Dragon Ogres have rules in AoS; http://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/AoS_Compendiums/warhammer-aos-warriors-of-chaos-en.pdf

You can use any model you like, and it doesn't need to be on round bases. You can play the game on squares if you like (although the new stuff has round bases).

I'm listing a few items on e bay just for a flirt, at quite high prices, but which reflect the time taken to paint them, bargain really when you consider the hours ...

I've concluded my collection is a mental illness, lol,

I need to make some hard decisions, and sell some, it's out of control.

I think I might thin down to having a big empire army for gaming, then the Orc army , and maybe do a Chaos one. :)

I won't make any irrational sales, i'm only selling or prices I feel reflect the quality,,

I sold some Gamezone minis yesterday , painted for £35. Only 4 models, which I though was fair.

Since realising it's impossible to collect every Empire model ever made, I have painted a 3.5K O&G army and fancy doing some WOC OOP 80's and 90's metal Chaos Warrior stuff :)

I'm thinking the metal Marauders , flails , maybe converted warriors , ummm..

from a product stance it would be suicide for GW not to try to appease the folks who love the empire the way it was. They need to allow models from that period to be able to become part of their new direction ( I guess you can through the warscrolls or whatever) but support the line through some newer stuff with the older feel to it. Seriously I never thought I would hate a line of GW games as I do with the AoS

Not to turn this into a debate but you have to consider that everyone but the stormcast have a fully fleshed out army, I'm pretty sure that once the stormcasts are balanced out, army-wise, GW will move on to models more in line with the old guard's tastes.

I'm afraid that it's a lost hope. They'll jam this new style down our throats, even if they won't remove old stuff from the shelfs... at least not for some time. I'm glad that I've managed to secure a boatload of old Empire figurines at the onset of ET.

Problem is, we tend to have the figures we like, and more plastic can be obtained from eBay cheaper than from GW. And from companies producing historical Renaissance and 16th century (ECW) models.

I think basic Empire infantry, cavalry and artillery are so mainstream that GW is facing crushing competition which makes the GW prices and production logic a failure. Some other armies, both mainstream fantasy and things like Skaven might be viable. But I can easily see why it was just the Empire/Sigmar that had to go and become something unrecognizable.

I'm not convinced, nor am I relying on them to do such.

Going to keep working on my Empire figures that I have now, and supplement them with other company's figures eventually as well.  I've already got some Perry Euro Mercs being used as pikemen or spearmen, and plenty of traditional GW Empire figures, and beginning to grow my number fo Bret figures as well.

I'm not convinced it's "suicide", nor am I convinced they couldn't sell more Imperial figures if they made more.  And with the newest reporting of GW's market as 20% gamers, and the rest modelers and collectors, if they made more Empire miniatures there'd be more to model and collect.

Yes that would be nice, but they have dropped so many races/games/concepts etcetera that were, what I considered excellent in favor of ever decreasing quality/variety/uniqueness of character, without ever looking back. I do not expect that we will ever see the like again.  I n particular what happened to gorka morka, necromunda, talisman, the squats, the pygmies, the slann, the fimir, the orientals, the Norse (yes we had vikings as a human race in the early editions), and so many other races and games?  all without ever a single hint of ever going back, there were even at one time gnomes and half orcs in the game, not just in RPG but in the rules for the game.  Regiments of reknown, dogs of war, both excellent concepts that created more unique units all gone.  I think that we have passed the golden age of GW, nothing in the future will measure up to what has been. I would really like to have to eat my words/gobble humble pie, and the such like, but sadly I do not think that it will happen.   steveb

Only got a one to one comparison but they do fit on 25mm but they are considerably bulkier (in a good way i think.)

Post by: Baron von Klatz on October 28, 2015, 12:34:36 PM
Oh, that. That's just how AoS categorizes the factions now. Players can build any army they want without worrying about restrictions besides what models work well together.

Though I can see how that might be a bit hard to adjust too, it does offer limitless themes to build your army around. It also gives GW a massive window of what they can create model-wise for the setting.

At first I thought you were speaking about the missing lizardmen models, because they've just been shown that they are getting repackaged with round bases.

I think I'd prefer that to what we've got now.  It's not like they're doing anything for my game (Fantasy) now anyway.  As is, I do all of my shopping off eBay since AoS came out.  I just can't bring myself to support GW (and indirectly AoS) in any sort of direct manner.  I'd rather them sell their "rights" to a company that will actually try to do it justice.  It wouldn't surprise me if GW didn't sell the game to anyone else just out of spite though.

then highlight with white lines, and silver, and use a brighter red with some yellow added to touch up the armour,

then fine details,

I remember that model. Haven't seen it in a long time.

I agree that the axe is too clunky, and really reveals the model's age (the rest is fine). Instead of swapping the entire hand, you could just cut off the axe head and turn the axe into some sort of scepter.

Really cool hobby lair, Mr.Chumley!  :biggriin: 

Amazing how much work you put into it. My only concern is that it seems a bit too open with those large windows. Aren't you worried someone might break into it and steal your models? (There's been a few instances of thieves going after our precious models.)

Unless, of course, you store your models in your home in which case I withdraw my question.

So I guess 2 things have happened recently, the AOS debacle, and me realising I would never be able to complete my dream of owning every slotta empire model ever made lol, after several underground not for public consumption images of ultra rare models were shared with me by secret collectors,

so my whole mantra has shifted ,

towards collecting for 8th ed gaming,

i'm slowly selling off some empire and at the same time painting a large O & G army ,

I will retain about 30K points of Empire though lol

I think your original goal was overly ambitious, but if it is any comfort to you, I don't think anyone came ever this close to completing such a collection and no one ever will again. While it's kind of a shame that you are selling parts of your collection, it's probably in your best interest. Just keep the models that you really like. I hope you get a decent price for your miniatures and actually manage to sell them (the willingness of most ebayers to pay for a well painted miniature is very limited to non-existent).

I still think you should make a Website dedicated to your collection (including the pieces that you have already sold or will sell), which would basically be a giant photoalbum and archive. 

Regardless, I hope to see more empire miniatures from you again some time in the future. :::cheers:::

Something just popped to my mind when looking at your painted O&G.

Have you thought of going toward the slimy with your painting? Like River Trolls with Swamp Goblins? That would offer a distinct painting theme for a couple of units.

And I'd like to see how you do it! Close up. Why not in stages.  :-)

I haven't given up on Empire, I just got to the point where my army was winning too often , usually using 2-4 Stanks, lol ,

I fancied a change , a new challenge , therein lies the O and G focus of late...

Some of them like this shaman I am painting from scratch , others I am buying semi painted units from e bay , and touching up ,

maybe about 20 % of my O and G stuff is touched up from others base coats or assembled and under coated , the rest is all my work,

give it 2 years and I may get a fetish for something else , perhaps Dwarves !!!

After all, life expectancy is about 80, so I have 54 years to paint and play 8th Ed !!

300*3 pts , for the 900 point front line , 10 units of 30 archers , plus 12 spear chukkas, , - 1320 pts all in,

It's viable in a 4K game !

Imagine your opponents face when he sees he has to get past 300 archers and 12 spearchukkas, and the worst part of it being that they are all sacrificial lams for Gork !

Behind this artillery line, at the back, lies 2*100 Night Goblin hordes, 60 Sav Boar Riders , lots of Magic , and 4 Doom Divers , plus 2 Giants, etc,

when i paint my models I more often then not use the same colour palet.

I notice that this chaos warrior looks like a dedicated follower of fashion colour wise. I would not use such a diverse colour palet on such a dark and sinister model as a warrior of chaos.

Youre skills as a speed painter with a keen eye for quality is again proven with this model, but as written, I would recommend a darker colour palet with lots of dark colours.

Cheers,

The armour and shield are so good that I'll let you have the red cloak ;) It's quite a modern paint job with a slightly retro colour scheme, I really like it.

And actually, it reminds me of my Space Marines!

So go on then - is the free hand "simply" pale swirls on the armour and dark swirls on the shield, perhaps toned in with a final wash, or what? I'd like to try it out on something.

The marauders look fantastic! How did you do the bluish skin on the guy in the middle?

Using my palette , I had cadian flesh stone being mixed over a blue turquoise base , with nuln oil and brown wash on the go  ,

I tend to go into a trance of speed painting , and not really sure how the result will come good,

I use a heater at every stage to quickly dry the watery layers,

it's all about using such a fine watery paint , that it only just creates a layer

Not certain if you want an honest answer about AoS or are just ranting. (no offense)

If you're really interested then make a thread on the AoS and we'd gladly inform you about it. :-)

I was lying in bed after assembling 20 Bloodreavers !

Thinking how I could paint them... Something different to my usual styles...

So i thought, black armour , all helmets black, with loads of gloss varnish on,

then white skin , and no colours, just drab browns and greys ,

the results have been interesting ,

i will post the first one shortly

Post by: mr chumley warner on May 20, 2016, 03:12:27 PM
I developed a new technique, even faster , start with all over brown paint + wash + vallejo treatment stuff that keeps the paint wet

then you blend in flesh tones on the fly

Post by: LarsRock on May 26, 2016, 05:08:07 AM
It is pretty small, but it makes more sense to me that an army had the skills to tame such a beast! I mean, I know it's Warhammer fantasy, but even then, I still think that GW has gone from some relatively sensible monsters, the old deathclaw, some of the old dragons, etc., to some absolutely ridiculess gargantuans, such as the new deathclaw model.

I'm not saying I don't like the new models, they are absolutely beautifully crafted, I'm just saying that there was a time in Warhammer when your regiments filled more of the board than your mounted lord, general, wizard etc.

To make it short: I really like the look of that Chimeara, I think it will be a great addition to your already impressive collection!

I think after having done O and G , now Chaos, and having EMpire, I need another force of good,

Empire and Orcs both bash Chaos and Undead, so are good. What rivalries Empire and Orcs have is purely political and logistical disagreement. It's Malthusian problems of too many people in the wrong places at the wrong time, not enmity of principle.

 :-P

Dogs of War, with some Regiments of Renown, would offer you a wide range of different units, and would nicely stay out of the good/evil category, allowing you to use some units in almost any armies. DoW could also drive you and your wallet mad hunting for some of the rarer units. (On the other hand, many classic RoR go for quite passable, even rather cheap, prices.)

Hehe

I like round bases for characters , in 8th , I also like my BSB to stand behind the main units , so he survives ,

round bases look better ,

Square ones are perfect for proper wargaming though !

Here you go Chumley. I've also remembered that there was a DoW character named Asarnil the Dragonlord. You might be interested in him as well!

Also those White Lions are awesome. I used to have a unit of them, all old school and glorious. :eusa_clap:

Phoenix Guard 4++ ,,,, add a mage in a unit of 50 , and cast any spell for the 3++ unit save,

Ummmm , Spearmen Horde , fighting 5 ranks deep ASF , MUhaha ,

Archers , units of 3*5 , firing 3 ranks deep,

Alarielle in a White Lion unit of 50 , gives them all 3+ 5++ , throw in the Bannner of the World Dragin thing , and they get Magic Res ,

Give her Lore of Life and they get regenerated quite happily, they are stubbborn on 10's anyway , LOL

WHat the Beejeeebus is going on !

It's invincible surely , i'll have 50 Phoenix, , 50 Lions with bitch, 50 spearmen , 4 units of 15 archers , and 10 sword masters for a laugh , plus 10 shadow ninjas,

Not per se, but the disproportion between High Elves and, say, The Empire was absurd. The only thing that could possibly challenge HE's was a Dark Elf army, based around those Doom Warlocks fellas, and even then it was only a single OP unit against an army, full of OP units and best magic in the whole, damn game. :dry:

High elves are certainly good, but are overall still really fragile and rather expensive. If the wrong thing hits you at the wrong time, they will fold. They were certainly handy at the end of 8th, but not up there alone.

............. but still S3  :icon_question: and very susceptible to shooting .......... of the magic variety as I recall.

S3 dosen't count much when you're armed with GW. Also ASF is always a sure bet to wound before your opponent.

Damn Elves...

Phoenix Guards with 4++ , White Lions on 3+ ,,,, Alarielle for the 5++ unit buff,

I can't see them being too bad at taking some missile flack...

Only the spearman and archers will be susceptable

Given how many of them are in a typical unit, I don't see the problem. ;)

Also who do you think is stronger - 8th edition HE's or that tzeentchian fellow that you've created? :)

Sheeet i landed 50 metal high elf archers lol

Courtesy of a well known forum member = cheers bud

I have decided , Lothern Sea Guard , they are both archers and spears , hence why not run units of 25 (5*5) , it's 20 firing at any time, and then in combat 4 deep , 20 attacking

boom

So i'm gonna mix up spears and archers into each unit tray , its gonna be sick , i tell ya

Ok here is my take on the Lothern Sea Guards .... 10 done, 2 ranks..

Clearly each unit can fight with spears or fire using bows... So I ahve taken a mixture of OOP models .

7 units of 30 Sea Guard = 210 in fact !!

LOL

After all they do double as archers and spears :)

The way i see it, a 5*6 rank bus dishes 4 ranks of attacks with spears , like for like on a normal 30 man bus fighting 2 ranks , or a horde in base to base dishing 3 ranks , Elves rule

Twas a fun evening last night.

I took 3K Elves... 2*30 Bus Sea Guard, 1*30 archers, 3 Hero guys, one in each unit with cheeky Bows, High Prince Lord on Ancient Dragon ,,,,

2 Bolt Throwers , 10 Shadow punters, 25 Flame Wardens, lv 4 mage etheral

Orcs had 60 nasty gobbos, 1*30 + 1*40 Orcs, 6 Trolls, 2*15 Boar Riders, 4 Chariots wolf, 2 Bolt throwers, 2 giants !!!

I was very concerned, he had double my troops it looked like ,

ANyway , long story short, my Dragon smashed his Boars with Orc Lord in Turn 2, lol,

The Ancient Dragon with new ridden monstter rules is sick , T7 S7

Magic was poor on both sides,

My archers got pulped, but he Sea guard fight 5*6 buses with 4 rank spear attaching was amazing , especially as they had 3 turns of archery pre CC,

I love Sea Guard...!

The Trolls got done by the Flame Wardens with Flaming Banner,

The Gobbos took so many arrows they fled,

My Dragon cleared up the back of the board and his Giant's couldnt take on 60 Sea Guard in CC, with heros , ,,,, His Orcs got eventually nerfed by Sea Guard + Dragon,

It was a glorious treat !

More Sea Guard !

Next Game 4*30 Sea Guard, 4K game i recon

The new rules state that you use the Monsters Toughness, and save, but cant use any items on the rider.....

My only mistake was that I paid 50 pts for a magic ward on the Prince....

The new rules state that you use the Monsters Toughness, and save, but cant use any items on the rider.....

So that was wasted pts !!!

So no ward saves for riders, now? Screw that!! I'll be using my characters on foot, or as cavalry; if I want a ward save I'm damn well taking one, even if that means no ridden monsters.....

Or I guess I could play 8th Ed. Empire and use Karl Franz! :-D

yeah no more split attack on rider or monster ,,,

you use the T of the monster and it's wounds,

it's one target all in,

I think the Flamespyre would be worthy as a mount , it has a 5 ward save

Yeah, but I don't play High Elves, ergo I can't have a mount and Ward save combo; I'd be the Empire of Sonnstahl, if I picked up 9th Age....

In 8th they were seriously powered up. ASF, extra rank (or two I think, according to that BS levy rule from HE armybook), high Initiative, bows... Man it was good to be a HE player in 8th edition...

I think so. 9th age brings some overall internal balance. 8th was a playground for Elf players and a pain in the ass for everyone else.

9th is definitely balancing out their power better than 8th did.

The main fly in the soup is the elven players themselves who are the absolute worst complainers in the 9th age forum. Anything that doesn't result in their units being able to stomp anything one-on-one is a unfair nerf made by angry fanboys of the other races. :icon_rolleyes: :eusa_wall:

I usually mix metal with a colour like brown or blue, as the base, then wash it , then white line highlight ,

It looks excellent!

Proper use of skulls also. Even GW must agree.  :wink:

The reds could perhaps be highlighted more. I don't know if it's the photos or the painting, but I think the reds dominating this army seem a bit flat at times. The hue of the red is rather dark, and it makes the models often sort of top-heavy. That could be OK for helmets, but the plumes at least should look like they weigh nothing. IMHO.

are these actually 28mm scale or something odd?  :eusa_wall:

My plan was to hold a centre ground using 3 units of 30 Sea Guard 5*6 buses....

Harass his flanks and large hordes with , chaff , whilst raining down 130 ish archer shots and 3 bolt thrower shots per round,

My 3 units of 10 Queen's guard at St 4, and my 3 characters wiith magic bows or upgrades also st 4... multi shots...

Also hold up my flank with 20 Flame Wardens on 4++ saves...

Target any nasty trolls or monsters usng my 20 WHite Lions with flaming banner,

Pick which hordes to let through to my front line and which to hold up with chaff (chariot, 10 swoord masters , 3 eagles, )

If he hits my line early I flank him with my uber Ancient dragon Lord Combi, ...... If he gets bogged down, i will advance my choppy units and flank advance attack with the Dragon,

Well what can i say?!

I set up the board , so he chose sides... And gave me the side with the ponds, lol..

Perfect to place 90 sea guard behind, if you want to attack them , then you will lose your rank bonus in the watery ponds muhaha..

Ok so I went 1st,,,, owing to having much less units to set down...

The Queen's Guard took out 2 giants, boom, but I lost my Wizard due to some horrifcally unlucky set of rolls..

He advanced, my turn 2 then decimated him with shooting, taking down 2 giant Squigs, and numerous other units..

My Lion Chariot made man of the match, literally smashing everything and surviving to round 5.

The Wyvern's are terrible now, no armour save lol..

My eagles didn't really do much, they were ineffectual..

The Ancient Dragon Lord smashed everything but was twice left open to Spear Chukka fire from 7 chukkas.. And eventually died in T6.

The Flame Wardens were invinclible, holding up the entire left flank until they eventually folded..

Also incredible as a 10 man unit, the Swordmasters , with 2 attacks each ,,,, glass hammers , massive hammers , with llimited armour , but they sting !

Final tally after T6 , Elves had 2916 left on the board, O and G had 1600

Boom !

Elves win again .

What's this thing about a 'Levy' rule? I don't remember a 'Levy' rule, and I have the 8th Ed. hardback HE book....

Generally fighting in one extra rank, using spears. One extra rank in addition to one extra rank, from fighting with said spears.
So it's what they call the rule adding an extra-extra rank to the attacking HE in close combat?

I recall reading a snippet , where Steve Jackson, the GW founder said he was unaware of the existence of some of the late 80's models shown in White Dwarf images..

I think some1 put in pictures of the Nuln Spearman and Guard Captain, plus Agnes with the flag, as a secret code, the true meaning of which has elduded global collectttors for decades,

I met a guy online who said he would pay $10,000 for a Nuln Spearman if it was real

Yes, but what are you trying to show?

There is the GW 'image' of the 90s where it was all bright colours, and then came the realistic gritty 'dark' look.

The troops in your cabinets are probably the ones you take to war with the B-I-L and look realistic on the battlefield.

These latest figures are way too clean for the battlefield - they look like they are on parade - "Trooping the Colour"

Give them their own cabinet or shelf and use appropriate scenery as the background - look at steveb's Town background of Buggerhof where the new arrivals march down the street.

As to selling them - what's the point? You would only go through all the hassle of collecting them to paint in the new style. So if you really want to do them in SENMM then strip them down and start again.
You can do them bit by bit over the years - even at your painting speed you might finish before you retire  :engel:

Personally I think your "normal" method of painting metal looks way better and more realistic. While SENMM is flashy and all, it's also cartoony as hell. This unit will look uniqe no doubt, but not necessarily better...at least for me.

SENMM is a totally different ball game,

It looks much more blatant , because the skyline meets the ground, so on silver you go from black to white at the extreme , right across the horizon line,

and on gold also black to white ,

I read up about it ,

it will look more blocky , but i think it looks insanely nice

you have to start with a base colour, like the light bllue, then take the extremities to black vs white and blend both ways , then keep doing the same process

What exactly is SENMM?! :-? :-? :-?

Sky Earth Non-Metallic Metal

Does that help?

So it's the sky and earth reflected in a shiny metal surface, which is painted with non-metallic paints (which is what plain old NMM is)


Chumley, I think the armour (even the gold) looks amazing, but the shields are a bit pictorial, like they are all carrying Turner landscapes around with them. I'd be interested to see the next guy with a "normal" shield, if only as a temporary look-see.

Actually to be pedantic, if it is 'true' SENMM shouldn't all the reflections be pretty much the same picture.

I mean the front rank in shieldwall formation would show a landscape across the shields ...........................  :engel:

Now that would be classy ............................  :closed-eyes:

I like the variety of gold and silver.  Plus you'd probably go bonkers if you had to do the exact same colors on every single model.

If you did half the unit in gold and half in silver you could rank them up to look like a checker board from above, which would be visually striking.

It's totally different isn't it !

I also am somewhat intrigued by the garish contrast ratio SENMM gives ,

Honestly though, whether cartoony or otherwise , you put these SENMM in your cabinet next to normal metallics, and they are in a league of their own, the human eye picks them out, and everything else looks dull as fu*k!!!

I was just thinking, I do already white line my models , as a quick highlight stage,

but technically any cloth , not armour, cloth, could be treated like SENMM, highlighting up to white and down to black...

The conclusion is that if you want to really paint properly you need to take some real time lol

It gives a weirdly cool effect. I think the unit is going to look incredible all finished up. The shields don“t really work IMO, looks more like paintings than reflections. Colored shields might even make the armor look more amazing.

So , again apologies for my time out, i'm building the ultimate embedded PC , arcade machine, based on the midway cabinet style, using jamma convention and authentic controls.

Phase one is done, phase 2 will add 2 more controllers to the long side , to enable a seperate parallel horizontal oriented games expperience.

The feeding at night was terrible until he slept thru. 11:00 , 3:00, 6:30 rinse and repeat. The day I thought I was gonna die from sleep deprivation he slept thru and that was it. I slept till 6:00 and lifted right out of bed thinking something horrible happened and he never missed a night again :)

Without a doubt he was the best thing to happen in my life anyways.

Looking great. I like how you've added a skull to the Swordsmaster base!  :lol: (I reckon those bases don't come with skulls. Correct?)

Are the Swordmasters the last/current metals/resins, or from the 90's? I reckon you have both 90's and 00's models mixed in te Phoenix Guard unit.

Since my Stirland is getting finished, I dug out a small unit of HE Swordmaster myself. Will try a grim black armour on them, but unsure of the contrasting non-metal colours. Also, I think those straps at their waste are cloth, not metal.

20 White Lions.
3*30 Sea Guard
3*10 Queens Guard Archers.
1*Lion Chariot
3*Bolt Throwers
3* Eagles.
BSB
Wizard

======================================

Not nice to fight i tell ya !

You get rained on by 120 Arrows per turn, and 3 big bolts,

then in close combat you get a hardy brawl, with 3 units of 6*5 Sea guards , which fight 4 deep,

The Phoenix Guard with ward save 4++ just stand firm all day long, especially with razor banner

To be fair to myself, this is because I'd like to clear the decks a bit, and I'm considering turning some of that collection into gaming armies - I have more minis than I could ever paint, but it's time I started on some of them!

Would love to own some of your stuff, but I really don't have that money to spend. Hopefully good homes await.

On one hand I agree with Chumley about their looks and names, but I have to say that these new Stormacast scouts look really nice! Also the Dwarfs (proper Dwarfs!) are coming to AoS, and I'm really interested to see how GW handled them. I love that faction.

Looking forward to the dwarfs as well, we've been needing a airship model for a long time now. Or at least since the spirit of Grungni story. :wink:

Like the Free Peoples? Oh right, there aren't any new figures for them yet.

Sorry, I'm with Chumley on this, I can't stand the storm cast eternal crudders.  Folks can do a terrific job painting them and making them look better, but I'm just so totally not interested in the fundamental look.  Don't even mention the fluff, and they don't exist in my fantasy world.

I don't care how much profit they are making selling crud figures, especially when their prices are worse than buying goldswords.

Somebody recently pointed out they aren't even selling 28mm anymore.  Heroic 28mm crud no, it's like they are 40mm!  Don't get me wrong, I buy 40mm AWI, but 40mm GW, no thank you.

Have to jump in on Baron's side lol. I personally love the new armies and I have now submerged myself in all the new books and totally like it. I love all the previous empire work and  fluff and the whole old world but if GW can continue with the sculpts like the excelsior priest then I'm not the least worried. I'm even loving the new (cough) chaos (sputter) models. 
Don't worry, I'm not leading any horses to water but I'm gonna roll with the new 😺

And where was this published? Not that such a topic fits this thread. 

The news about it was all over the place from Dakkadakka to Reddit last year, I posted the profit comparison in the AoS rumor thread.

Quote from: Mymearan 693116 9126685 2bf8706c263775725193980811454140.jpg
So an operating profit for 2016 of

£16.86m + £13.8m = £30,66? That is CRAZY good!

Someone posted this:


 -------Income Statement - 31 May '15 - 1 Jun '14 - 2 Jun '13 - 3 Jun '12 - 29 May '11
 --Operating Profit / Loss - 16.48 -------- 12.3 ------- 21.25 ------ 19.14 ------ 15.24

Even if you factor in several million in currency profit, that is still more than any of the the last five years.

It appears listening to your customers does pay off, who knew :D

It's also good to note that someone calculated the combined royalties (Total War Warhammer,  Vermintide, etc) and they only made up 1/6 of GW's profit. The rest was all tabletop. :-D [/Quote]

Quote

Indeed, you said "any" figures though. Nit-picky of me perhaps but it was worth pointing out.
Quote
I am interested if there is a like for like comparison of aos vs 8 the ed whfb profits ,,,, 

Insider sources pointed out 8th edition was only making 5% profit while AoS is 30%.

It was being outsold by paint supplies, the novels and space marine sells.

8th just had too much of a gauntlet for a entry barrier.

Umm, maybe the giant monster and chaos stuff? Everything else is the same scale as the older stuff, take away a Fyreslayer's helmet and he's the exact height of a regular dwarf.

The Excelsior Priest from ST is an exception as he's bigger than an average person but that's justified in his background lore as a uncommonly large tribe leader of 9 feet.

8th just had too much of a gauntlet for a entry barrier.

I agree with this, and have always said its the reason why it failed commercially. Having a requirement for bigger units at first when 8th ed was released was a good idea, because it booster profits while people increased the unit sizes they already had. Once that was done, they then buy the customary new unit releases. However that reduces the likelihood of new or existing players buying an additional army, because to get the desired model count, ended up costing too much and people didnt bother. Which is why sales plumetted and couldnt recover under that ruleset.

On a similar note - my car broke...  again :icon_cry:

Re AoS - sure, if you like that kind of thing, go ahead. Still don't know why they had to destroy my favourite game world to do it. And the Stormcast are just very silly fantasy Space Marines, however nicely you paint them (though I will admit I like some of their animal friends, even if they should have Tzeentch warriors riding them!). Speaking of which, I worry that WH40k suddenly has a new apocalyptic story line kicking off, now I'm waiting for them to ruin that too (I don't play, but I'd still be upset!)
Title: Re: Chumley Warner's Empire. Elven Updates
Post by: Artobans Ghost on March 05, 2017, 10:43:27 PM
Oh I understand the resentment for sure. Out of nowhere comes the new system. I had 4 complete fantasy armies and 6 40k armies and 8 years invested in them plus bloodbowl and dread fleet plus tons of terrain and every armybook for 3 editions. When I think of the money sunk in it I could cry but everyone is different and it seems a pattern in my life  when the sweet spot is found, everything turns upside down and calls for a new approach. Out of my group of six seasoned players 5 of them said screw it and went to other games. It was the only group I was actively involved with in a hobby sense and they were great guys. Funny as hell and I really miss it but the new system still allows me to use them and I'm thinking I still love the hobby so I'm hitching my horse to their cart and riding for awhile 😺

Edit: sorry mr chumley. I've derailed this for the last time. I promise

Ok , just airing some thoughts...

So as stated i gave up on collecting every slotta model ever made , and now am focused on painting and collecting armies..

My Empire is a disparate collection, many colour schemes,

after recently finishing my HE army , with Scibor ruins 20 mm resin bases on every model, the army looked so continuous and unified, i sttarted thinking that I need to make my Empire look like one solid continuous scheme also..

The tough question, what was my favourite colour scheme ,

I loved my Purple Gold Swords the best

So now I have decided to build an army of Purple and Light blue, which was my favourite combination anyway , i just hadn't realised it

Pics to come soon

Post by: White Knight on March 14, 2017, 06:55:34 AM
It's up to your preference of course, but with Empire it makes sense to have different colour schemes if it's a multiprovince army. Historical landsknechts even had different colours within the same unit. Life is too short to keep repainting the same when they are already looking good and there is more other stuff to paint.

You must have a Zen-master level ability to concentrate despite distractions if you can paint under such... treatment. Which would largely defeat the whole point of the... polishing. If you won the Euromillions, why not just employ Guatemalan child labourers to do the painting while hanging out with the... fine young ladies?

Alestorm are fun, sure, but they are no Evil Scarecrow! You might also check out mercenary metal band Sellsword for a bit of fantasy inspiration. And Conan, of course.

Meanwhile... nice to see Mr CW finally doing wood elves, perhaps a bit brighter than expected but nice to see the classic metals. Dying to see you do a big regiment of Skarloc's archers, please...

Bogenhafen's Engineering Guild encourages the modification of Steam Tanks to cope with evolving threats in nearby territories. Expelling steam from additional vents, the Zwei Dampf Panzer is capable of engaging large hordes of enemy infantry at close quarters, turning on a six pence, using smaller wheels, unleashing jets of super heated steam.

Guys this was just for fun, i had the stank pieces sat in my drawer, and wanted to see what fun I could have!

So it's on e bay if anyone wants it. It took some time, but was fun !

As i always say painting and modelling is great relaxation in a world of stress.

nicely done, I like the exhausts you added nice touch. the double turret not so much, I tried it once and it looked too bulky, but I did use the idea with the plastic turret and put two guns in one side by side with separation between like in dual mount as opposed to being like a shotgun barrel.  but I think you did as good as could be expected with the old metal tank, they are a royal pain to mess with.  Paint job was as usual very good.  thanks for sharing.  steveb

Excellent work! The only (hopefully) constructive criticism I could provide is that you've apparently used slotta bases, and that has led to some of them standing at rather weird angles. I would rather just cut off that strip that goes into the slot, use a regular base, and glue the miniature by the feet.

I too have wondered how one can sensibly combine the usual Van Helsing witch hunter look together with plate armour. Because WFRP 2e witch hunters apparently do, going by their career trappings.

Ok guys, I'll hit you with this, it's a paradigm shifting update,

Firstly I had heard rumour of Marauder planning to release a unit of Wizards back in 87'.

I can see on CCM WIKI , there are some images of some, unreleased ones,  but very little is talked about online.

Here are mine!! Secured with the Queens finest English pounds.

(http://i1027.photobucket.com/albums/y335/richardapplin/Stratford-on-Avon-20140312-00166_zps4f1c59b1.jpg) (http://s1027.photobucket.com/user/richardapplin/media/Stratford-on-Avon-20140312-00166_zps4f1c59b1.jpg.html)

Thanks for this picture, it convinced me to buy these models re-released by Warmonger Miniatures (https://warmongerminiatures.myshopify.com/collections/ex-citadel/products/time-warped-wizards-pre-order ).
Question: from the references we can read on the slots, MU1, MU3, MU6, MU7 and MU9, at least 5 references are missing. Have you been able to identify them? Do you think they include the other 2 wizard models sold by Warmonger?

Pewter is the best !

Plastic I like, it's much easier to work with than pewter or resin.

That said, even Forge World resin sucks dongcocks. So for me it's either plastic or pewter.

Yup, metal's the only way to go. Been slowly buying through Black Tree Design line past few years myself. Got most of their Dwarves and enough Skaven to make an army.  Sadly their catalog shrank several years ago, they don't have nearly as many goblins and undead as they used too.

I hear If you work with plastic mini's too long it makes your balls shrink and you develop a permanent craving for Panera Bread.

Good question sir!!!! I have no idea !!!

BUT - another member posted his unreleased Marauder minis, that are not listed on CCM Wiki ...

http://jaeckelalone.blogspot.co.uk/2016/


PS: When GW ditched Warhammer, i became very upset and sold all my unreleased models for about £6,000 , lol .... Sorry , i just lost the need to collect everything, and instead focused on armies.

The Quest for unreleased Empire Minis , can only be likened to the quest for the Holy Grail.

I believe i was very close to having the grail , i had almost all the CCM WIKI unreleased model list.

I think i was missing 7 , the Halfling Captain, the Flagellant Standard Bearer (lost out in ebay auction in 2011 only ever time ive seen him), and the latest Knight at the end added by Steve B, Nuln Spearman, Knight Captain, Albbrecht, Agnes with Flag,

My dreams suddenly became nightmares when i infiltrated an uber elite global underground of secretive collectors, who revealed to me that actually there were unreleased empire models beyond knowledge and having never even been photographed.

I was shown models that i had to promise i would never sahre details of, and i became despondant.

There was a kiselv King in full plate armour, you would have paid £1000 for him i tell you.

How practical is this? The tree board elements can be arranged and turned into only so many positions. And those buildings are always there, if I understood you correctly. Asking beause I've been pondering making my own table, but the problem of (not significantly) rearranging big board elements makes me hesitant.

Looks sus... but I don’t know.

Love your boards by the way. High quality. Do you have other random terrain you put on it too? Are they for gaming or diarama / set piece display?

It's a fixed gaming table. 3 sections. I will be highlighting with a very light green and a big brush soon.

No extra scenery , all fixed and done as seen.

How many of us take years painting an army, which we play WHFB with , but then throw together the table on the day?!

Exactly.

So i thought whhy not build a table , took me 4 weeks,

the PVA took a week to dry out each time. I used 5 KG Sand from B and Q! HAHAHA

Chumley the table is gorgeous but I can't help feeling that it is not wise to get stuck with the same configuration of buildings, hills etc......as everything is stuck on apart from the forest if I understand correctly.  I made sure for my table that that was not the case as everybody likes to swap terrain elements around from time to time to avoid sameness......just my 2 cents as it is really nice nonetheless.

''Legend has it it was written by the dark ones. Necronomicon Ex Mortis. Roughly translated - Book of the dead. The book served as a passageway to the evil worlds beyond. It was written long ago, when the seas ran red of blood. It was this blood that was used to ink the book. In the year 1300 AD, the book dissapeared. ''

Post by: Zygmund on May 11, 2018, 06:56:03 AM
If you really love Warhammer as it used to be in the 8th ed, but better balanced and more interesting, you are probably best served by T9A 1.1.

The current T9A rulebook will still change before the 'finished' version 2.0. The current 1.5 is a batched 1.3.4. If you don't want to read, re-read and re-interpretate many rules, not to say change your force compositions according to changes in the army books, it's likely better to wait until 2.0. That's what many think when they say they'll wait for T9A to get ready before they start to use it.

BUT

Your undead are gorgeously painted, and I totally agree about the quality of the BTD wraiths and skellies!  :::cheers:::

Cheers bro, i have sold a lot of my stuff though, for good money.

I'm focusing on ninth age armies. High and Wood Elves, Empire, Undead.

I don't like the 25mm base Chaos or Orcs I decided, with all the large monsterous stuff..

I prefer rank and file, 20mm with some showpieces like Dragons or monsters, but on a small scale.

It's important in life to have a creative outlet.

I was good at Art at school , but got pushed towards Maths, Physics , Chemitsry, then Engineering at MEng level.

it's like a buff wagon in the 9th age rules, giving regen 6+ to troops within 6-12 ''...

I have received the goods from USA, and have constructed over night, what i would describe as an Undead War Alter Motorbike Wagon !

I think you missed the joke intended in my comment re: disliking 'cartoon' style!

I won't post pics in your thread, and although there are pics somewhere on this forum (amongst the 3000+ other pics I have here) you can see what I mean in the following article on my website:  https://bigsmallworlds.com/2017/08/29/cartoon-zombies/

Guys , not sure what you think but I managed to get hold of 43 Metal Classic Marauders .

http://www.solegends.com/citcat2004cgchaos/c2004cgchaos035x-02.htm

They are absolutely impressive sculpts, top quality.

I noticed that a lot of them look sort of Vampirish, with the Helmet design, so i'm running them as Grave Guard Elites for 9th Age.

I don't find them very vampireish but maybe paint would change my mind.

I think they are awesome models tho and we'll worth it if you can get them at a decent price. I have 25-30 of the ones with flails. They paint up very easily.

Agreed mate, i saw ebay running an auction for 43 of them, with the Ltd Ed champion, and no one bid, so i swooped after and landed them all for average £2.50 / model.

Which seems nice.

Agree. They are excellent. Gamers may not like because they prefer flails or sword and board, and as someone who appreciates models they are the best of the marauder lot in my mind.

Long time no posts, been away with work a lot globally.

Managed to get this model from GW's website, they ran a temporary offer for the old metal dragon set.

Here's a WIP

Extra sad that I forgot to order one during the week they were for sale, cos yours looks nice!

Ah well, if I ever do the wood elf army I always wanted I'll probably use a different dragon, anyway. I always thought that the Great Spined Dragon might work well.

I'm looking for metal alternatives to GW models.

I just think plastic and resin is no different to buying childrens toys.

It's not a collectable medium , worth any value.

Metal is the key.

The secret of metal has always carried with it a mystery.
You must learn its riddle, Chumley.
You must learn its discipline.
For no medium- no medium in this world can you trust. Not plastic, not resin, not finecast.

The fact that it's all plastic now is even worse.

Black Tree Design.

I think they are the remnants of HHG , sold on EEORBIS website,

Very nice metal models to be fair, fit well with GW.

Possible cross over history between them and GW, sculptors maybe.

I'm still amazed how fast you can pop out miniatures!

I spray them a mid tone, like green, then i'm using Army painter light shade dip,

after that , it's quite fast to get these results, just base coats , quick wash, onto a heater, then highlight, detail, and seal
Title: Re: Chumley Warner's Empire. First Dwarfs Ever !
Post by: mr chumley warner on April 02, 2019, 12:24:50 PM
coats are watery , because after the shade has dried, you have a depth and tone already, so you overlay a watery base colour,

my technique gives a depth of detail, and ageing, but it's a fast speed painting technique ultimately

Your painting makes the figures look sculpturesque.

Also like the heraldic buttons as shields.  :::cheers:::

Well, the riders are still metal, and finely painted too! :)

The Dwarf Gyrocopter is a funny little thing. Very basic colours - could do with more highlights, perhaps some contrast somewhere, and a hole or at least a dot for the muzzle.

Also the machine is so small it actually draws my eyes to the base. Care to enlighten me why such a huge base for a Gyrocopter?

Mate i havent played a game in months, but i have rejected Games Workshop , in the same sense as a religious person would renounce their God, literally, can't stand to even look on the GW website. In fact i looked this week, and there was a skeleton in a boat , and some garbage line about discovering the Sigmarines secret books in the ether,

Don't look , you'll die inside.

All my work is towards ninth age, or oldhammer,

I feel your pain! I've been selling off a lot of my extra models and was curious at what GW had to offer...was disappointed. That aside the idea of converting an old War Wagon is insane! I'm speaking through jealousy as I've never found a complete one that I could afford. Empire is looking beautiful, love the colors even though I'm an Averland man myself.

Post by: orcyboy on July 08, 2019, 04:21:15 PM
I have no idea if its legit or not. My only concern is you got it from an Italian source and a few years back one of the miniature trading groups on Facebook was abuzz about an Italian source selling obviously re-cast unreleased LOTR miniatures.

A cleaner picture might be helpful. Is it dated on the tab?


Maybe try and reach out to Steve aka "Citadel Collector" he's the fella that pointed out that I have an unreleased Harboth boy.  But he hasn't posted here in a few years. He helps moderate http://forum.oldhammer.org.uk/ but that site like most forums these days is half dead.

Your best bet is to join a few of the Oldhammer/Warhammer related trade groups on Facebook. That seems to be where all the action is these days and bunch of the folks that used to run the industry including miniature designers are associated with a few of the groups.

I concur, those are good trolls (Tim Prow I think).  I have the axe one but I got mine from Impactminiatures.

Sadly mine came in resin and Impactminiatures doesnt seem to have the one with bone clubs.  However they do have a couple with what looks like pistols and shot guns!?  :?

Thanks mate, no formal announcement was made as we passed 1 million hits.

Just to say , the journey started for me as a means to relax and enjoy, in 2010, although i was big into Citadel from 1986, through the 90's...

I was obsessed from 2010 - Age of Sigmar, with Empire, and collecting all GW works, LOL, but AOS ruined it for me.

I'm not just painted from ebay purchases, things i like the look of.

Anyway, it's great meditation, enjoy

I have however come across a model which is unreleased and so rare i never saw it in 10 years on e bay,

the variant i have being posted to me is also intriguing , to say the least, as it differs very slightly with the CCM WIKI image...

More updates soon, i cant post pic yet in case somehow the post gets lost,

soon i hope i will have it and paint it

Intriguing indeed. I am genuinely curious to see what you've gotten your hands on this time.

For the record it was your blog here that inspired me to attempt to collect every slotta based Orc (except the Villagers) from the 80's. While I have managed to collect every Orc from the 88 and 89 catalogs (except the villagers) I began to realize just how many un-cataloged/unreleased Orcs are out there.  I've given up on getting a hold of those unreleased models, I just don't have the patients and social engineering skills necessary.

But I am content knowing I have at least one un-released Orc.

I was always in awe of this sculpt on CCM WIKI , but never found it , until somehow i just acquired a version identical bar the Medusa Head !

I need to update the wiki.

It's a nice miniature with a cool late 80s, early 90s fantasy vibe to it. According to the wiki link however, this (particular version) does not qualify as an 'unreleased citadel' miniature, but that should not stop you and should not really matter either.  :wink:

Looking forward to the painted version!  8-)

The one with the Medusa is Kordius the Slayer.

From Warseer (2005): 

Quote
That is pretty cool. I have a couple of questions for you if you wouldn't mind answering them.

1. The most important one. Do you have any left to sell by any chance?
2. How did this all go down?
3. How many did they sculpt for you and what did they or you do with the rest?
4. Did this open up any oppurtunities for you?
5. What have you sculpted since?

1. No, I think they all went.
2. When I sculpted the mini I was also working on minis for Specialist Games. Minis were, at that time, master cast in batches of about eight so there was room on a mould and Jervis offered to get a few cast for me as it really wouldn't cost much in time, money or labour. The mastering process is very different these days.
3. They cast about 10 of them I think. I had most of them. I think Jervis and Mark Bedford had one each. Memory is fuzzy on the exact details. I think all of mine got given away over the years.
4. Not really. By this time I was already an experienced pro sculptor so the opportunities were already open. Nope, I tell a lie. This was the figure that Dark Age Games saw and offered me work on that range.
5. Fair amount before and after this mini. As far as GW stuff is concerned I did Warmaster Dark Elves and Tzeentch Daemons, Blood Bowl Nurgle's Rotters and Vampires and Jena Orechiel and the Arbite Judge for Inquisitor. Outside of GW most of my work has been for Dark Age Games and working on my own range: Spyglass Miniatures. Also done a little work for Wyrd Miniatures recently. Oh, and I sculpted a couple of figures for John Blanche's Femme Militant range. That was a really cool project.
All this said, I really don't see this fig as an unreleased citadel. I did sculpt a few pieces for GW that never saw the light of day though. There's a variant of the Blood Bowl Vampire Lord and and Warmaster Chaos War Mammoth. Very much doubt they'll see the light of day. The War Mammoth never got crew sculpted so is technically unfinished and the Vampire Lord only ever had one cast in resin.

Big fan of the metal Waywatchers, the texture on the cloaks is amazing and allowed me to learn to paint autumn leaves so I had a transition color. They really pushed me artistically and were just pretty models. I do love this Hero model that being said.

If I recall correctly, this was a test sculpt done for GW, then it was released by another company (New Wave, I believe, who later mutated into CMON) with some modifications, mainly the medusa head instead of what was, I believe, originally a GW orc head. We're talking around 20 years ago though, so my memory is a bit hazy on the details. Sculptor was either Kev White or Steve Buddle.

And they charge $9.99. :icon_eek:  That seems like they're interested in competing with GW.

The price must be because Perseus figures usually don't have cloths, and the weapon isn't a sword, and thus a rare figure indeed. :icon_wink:

Ok so i wanted to achieve an all Metal Dragon Prince model, steed and rider, with a serious Ninth age gritty look and feel,

I finally invested in some of teh Reaper USA Horses..

So to make a unit of 10 of these riders would probably set me back £200.... Ouch

But it looks and feels amazing, the weight of the model in your hand, that's all that counts !

I like it for the most part. Has that elven skinny grace vibe. Not sure about that metal armor on top of more metal armor in the chest area. maybe the lower layer (which is also the only layer in the back) is supposed to be leather or padded cloth? And I would get rid of the chaos spikes (snip, snip!).

Is there more than one sculpt?

They have a number of sculpts, which come with riders for $16 / £16 ish... So it's gonna cost a fair bomb.

I will collect them slowly , and create the ultimate metal cavalry for various ninth age armies.

Not sure if this will help. I use Wordpress and access to the pictures became extremely slow, then older pics wouldn’t expand out of thumbnail, then the whole catalogue vanished. Then I logged out, which I hadn’t ever done (couple years?) and logged back in and everything came back. Kind of stupid of me but there you go. I was ready to delete the whole site out of frustration but I’m glad I didn’t.

At least now the site says my account is one of the last affected by a power outage , and will be back up soon!
Phew.

On another note, I went into a GW Store, to buy some of the new contrast paints.

The girl managing asked me what i'm working on, I said metal models, old school...

She was young , and laughed , then started telling me why plastic was infinitely better as a medium , for detail and ease of painting , etc etc...

I waited as she kept talking then i gave her my sixpence,

lol

- i said something like - yep all true, but metal feels valuable and worthy when you pick up a model, and the fact that it's harder to convert makes it more exciting when you manage to do so, plus it's nice using gloss and matt varnishes, and i simply don't like these new Sig Marine plastic throwaway kids toys GW are running with, bye

I have to agree that the best Empire model would be the Averland with halberd from Mordheim. That set of models is something I wish I had bought more than just the basic set. Heck if I could afford them I'd buy enough of the Halberds for two units! On your issue with GW stores, I've tried to avoid them recently as I don't care for any of their current games with the exception of 30k. I play older editions and it always angers the newer employees that they really don't have anything other than paint that I want. I've met some great paint sellers though.

I was attempting gloss gold ravaged armour, with my favourite pink/purple , light blue combi, and lots of plate armour and ouff n slash clothes, basically the best inspiration WHFB ever provided ! Empire !

the guy on the very right started life as that standard bearer with the terrible chubby sword.

Next to him I think that was a handgunner.

On the very left is a war wagon crew man.

Mordheim Averlander back right - behind the Roadwarden on foot.

Empire Champion front and centre, next to old Marauder Standard Bearer?
Some old Fighters and Lords of Battle, at least one old Reiksgard Knight.

You are missing one of the Mordheim Averlanders - the one with the two handed halberd pointing forward??





Edit - I fixed the first try at the pic posting before realising you had worked it out   :biggriin:

You get metal halberds with arms attached in the Warlord Games Zweihander box, but I don't think they sell them separately....and they are a bit small to be an exact fit on classic GW dudes.

Then there are these, but no arms attached

Yeah, Foundry, Artizan etc. real historicals tend to be smaller. They're about the Perry Dogs of War size.

On the other hand, look at the Landsknechts from the Lead Adventure Bruegelburg range, and you're pretty much in the same size category with the Ye Alchemist Greatsword. Kinda 'Big Fighters' of our era.  :-)

Not really. But you should sesrch for Fantasy RPG clerics, who traditionally have robes & blunt weapons. Or cultists or monks, who have robes at least. They might then need converting, to update their weapons. There are some companies doing metal spare weapons.

An example of a cultists range:
https://www.midlamminiatures.co.uk/townsfolk/KS2019-14-Plague-Cult.html (https://www.midlamminiatures.co.uk/townsfolk/KS2019-14-Plague-Cult.html)

In the end, the real metal Empire sculpts are still readily available via eBay, both the older Marauder ones and those of the sixth edition. They're not too expensive.

You're selling your whole Dwarf army on ebay???

Well chumley not to be a douche or anything but the knight on the left is really a bretonnian not a reiksguard....he also has a fleur de lys to point this out on his helm.......otherwise the colour scheme is really ace and the shields are cool too.

Guys, so i've been working away in the background, searching and researching everything metal in the world, on a mission to re-imagine and convert new Empire Flagellants, aiming for somwhere in between the crazy limited release set, and the normal 6th ed metals.

http://www.collecting-citadel-miniatures.com/wiki/index.php/Empire_-_Limited_Release

Using skaven mordheim flails, mordheim pit fighter torsos, heads from various companies, and some green stuff beards arm arm hacks, i believe i have created something you will think is worthy.

More details soon ! The greens are drying overnight.

Not sure about the pre painted ar i received as part of the models shipped, but i can change that.

I think Flaggies should be muscular, and brutal , to represent their gaming stats, and narratives

the proof will be in the painting and ranking up a unit
Title: Re: Chumley Warner's Empire. Flagellants Re-imagined !
Post by: Jaeckel on April 19, 2020, 08:44:35 AM
Funny, I totally disagree with this interpretation. For me, flagellants should be skinny, emaciated, almost sick. Quite the opposite of the limited release you're showing.
Anyway, good luck with the painting!

I think the figures are great but that they could represent some new, home-ruled type of empire troops rather than flagellants.

Flagellants flagellate, which doesn't really work when you're wearing armour!

Giant is at £615 with 6 days.

Albrecht £200+ also... I recon Albrecht will hit £3000. He's rarer arguably than Nuln Spearman .

He featured in White Dwarf 95 once, but never made production approved status.

That painting of him, surely it is of him well before he became a famous Border Prince mercenary commander.  I mean just look at that shield, early Bretonnian at best. Although I see he's got at least two mercenary buddies already working along side of him, one even seeming to look at him for leadership there.  Although maybe not, for the other one with the hat seems to be saying, "Woah, the three of us taking them on, you can't be serious Albrecht." :icon_wink:

Agreed. It's a stupid amount of money :( And be happy, the slotta tab is still here on this one :)
I bought it a couple of years ago, when a former employee of GW sold a few rarities, like the Nuln spearman or the Guard Captain. This is when I also bought the Marauder spearman you've just acquired.

Post by: Padre on July 22, 2020, 09:48:44 AM
I was in shock when they did it the first time. Thousands of pics blurred out or replaced with the black and white text of death! I considered bowing to their un-announced threat (they gave absolutely no warning in advance) and paying the fees, but what genuinely stopped me was that I now knew what they were capable of. Yes, their hosting was unstable, and very fiddly, behaving very badly on my computers, but I had grown used to all that. It was the fact that I now knew they could just remove link-ability to all your pictures at the drop of a hat.

Several things happened. First, I went to Imgur, so that from that point on my pics on W-E were hosted from there. Second I retrieved files of all my pics from photobucket to my own pc's and back ups, from which I then built my own Wordpress version of my campaign story thread, uploading and re-inserting every picture, whilst taking the chance to re-edit the text. Then the Oldhammer forum and the Vampire Counts Carpe Nocte forums used a program to lift, store and replace every one of the pictures automatically, thus repairing my campaign threads on their forums entirely. (The Oldhammer forum had and has the full thread. I started the thread later on Carpe Noctem.) I told the Warhammer Empire guys but they didn't do it for some reason (or no reason).

Now, if Imgur and/or the forums die, I have my Wordpress site as a back up. If the internet dies, we all have much bigger problems.

Guys , I screwed two transducers into a chair, powered by a fat amp, secured a 32'' ultrawide gaming monitor, and laptop, for Mount and Blade 2 Bannerlord's release!

hahaha

My chair now shakes when action happens,

it's like have two giant vibrating motors on your seat,

just wanted to say i may be out of action for some time !

Guys sorry , off topic i know but F ME!!

Mount and Blade Bannerlord on PC , Multiplayer Siege, i've never seen anything like it,

i was awestruck, to the extent i've ordered a new laptop with Geforce GTX1650 GPU, lol

when you get 60 vs 60 online siege, on high graphics it kills  my older, 16 Gig , Geforce 850M set up,

The game has an Empire faction also !

It's perfect

Theres so much action, 60 fighters charge up the beach, use siege towers and catapults , breach the gates, then its a sick brawl inside the castle,

then reverse, and you get to defend, archers, ballistas, rocks ,

hands down i've never seen any game like it,

it's 10 years in development, Alpha phase game just went live, you pay £40 on Steam, and get to play the early release, which will be ongoing for 12 months until the final launch,

It wasn't hard with some green stuff. The rider is being designed next .

wow I forgot about these two sculps. These sculpts where done by Michael Perry's, none dominate hand, I guess he lost his "sculpting hand"  in a artillery reenactment accident. These two were the two green sculpts he did to show he still had the talent.  I never knew they made the swordsman in metal?

Correct, Wargames Foundry released it as a free giveaway model. I have one, but didn't know it was originally sculpted for GW. Still, that seller seems to have deliberately omitted that from the description to drive up the price. Shady at best.

The new movement trays i have created are epic .

So to conclude, it's a custom MDF skirmish style tray , with 2mm gaps, to allow metal models to sit nicelly, embedded in an X Base of War resin movement tray, with 3M 20mm magnetic cubes in each position.

Then every model is reasonably secure , and won't fall over easily.

Rotary too a-la Dremel but much cheaper considering it's cordless and a nice small size. Comes with 2 sizes of chucks/collets and a couple of drill bits, as well as a load of useful sanding discs, buffers, grinding bits etc. Honestly one of the best things I've bought in recent times for my hobby, been really useful with a burr tool to lightly file away unwanted details, motifs, icons etc. in areas where it would be really tricky to get a file into.

I just need to get a set of more varied chucks/collets so it can take much finer precision drill bits as I'm still doing the really small stuff with a pin vice.

Ha! beat me to it!

I've had these guys sat on my desk for a few weeks now and planning to do some converting, they're pretty good sculpts but do you not find them quite big and chunky compared to others? Almost cartoonishly proportioned at times? Massive hands and feet...?

But they're great. Just a pain to rank up.

I kid around with Chumley and his obsession with painting metal, yet I do get it.  I was working on a metal knight figure that was produced before the plastic Knight kit came out, and I can really tell the difference.  The paint flows better on a smooth surface, the sculpt is clean and crisply detailed, and these kinds of things make for enjoyable painting.

Base is 20mm metal cubes i found on e bay. Bonus is that they are also magnetic ... I glue 2 together to make approx height of a normal base.

They're the right shape but not sure how sturdy they will be, I'm attempting to drill them out and slide over brass rods like a sheath, brass gives it the strength and the hexagonal sheaths give it the shape... or at least that's the plan! :lol:

@JSmash: Is it possible to contact that guy? I was unable to, but I have a way to get stuff sent from Britain to Ireland, WITHOUT going the normal way. It's a special service called AddressPal, run by An Post, the Irish national postal service.

I was trying to discuss it with him, to see if he would send that way, but couldn't send a message. It would start by sending a package to Hatfield AL10 9WN, and after that, Customs, etc. would be my responsibility.

Problem is, I can't contact him to ask is he willing to ship to the given address...  :icon_cry:

@NK - You mean to get hold of some of the hexagonal rods?

Plastruct is a brand name, they do loads of styrene products so they're available all over, not just via eBay. It's probably likely you can find some fairly local to you from hobby suppliers or the dreaded AMAZON!

If you don't get any joy with it I could try to ask the seller a Q on eBay about shipping?

Tapped up the Assualt Group for their metal Demi G's , added GW legs and torso for rider, then Black Chapel head , and sword arm, and a Grimforge Shield. Resin monster base found on ebay. I must say the DG is fantastic as a sculpt, better than the GW 80's ones.

Yeah i'm getting that feeling. In essence you could ignore much of the codex and run a 1990's 1st edition style army , and just play an open battle , without any of the other rules,

I have to admit , i like the energy you get when GW are still involved in something.

I struggled with my mojo when they dropped WHFB...

It's sad , but when you know a large corporate is pumping out literature, models and the communities are buzzing with it, it's got palpable relevance and energy

Erm... those don't look like metal minis Mr. Chumley, especially not that massive new dreadnought... :-P

Great work as per usual though - actually really cool to see a standard MK7 style helmet on a termie, not something I've seen before but it kinda works. Not too dissimilar to the new Centurion guys I suppose, the Tartaros armour really lends itself to have varied head options.

Keep it up! :::cheers:::

Catching up with your thread and just seen these! The DG's were the last figures I commissioned for my renaissance dwarf range before selling it to TAG, who released them. Great to see them with the Chumley brushwork! They are sculpted by John Pickford in a style deliberately reminiscent of the 90's era.  :happy:

hopefully GW will get a big dustbin , and stick the Sigmarines in it, then have a ceremony where they burn the creators of AOS on stakes in Nottingham HQ,

it's the only way to truly clear the air !!

we need a fresh start,

Dear Sir/Madam,

Please read - this is a very important issue I need to address with GW.

I started the magic adventure in 1986, aged 7, when my father purchased some Citadel fantasy minis for me. Years went by, and I returned to the hobby over a decade ago, having left in 1997. An avid WHFB player and collector, i consider the game system second to none.

Something very bad happened 5 years ago. GW decided to axe WHFB, and instead introduce some sort of 1980's Heman game , with Sigmarines, which let's face it , is utterly diabolical.

The recent news of a move back to WHFB is very welcome, but GW have a problem. Thousands of WHFB legacy fans, burned , upset.

Literally anger that cannot be eradicated easily.

My proposal for you, and please share with management, is that you offer up lets say 3 of the original AOS design / concept staff , and we perform a ritualistic ceremony of human sacrifice.

It will draw a line in the sand, offer a fresh start, clear the air.

I suggest it takes place in the car park at Notts HQ, at midnight before the new WHFB release.

Only a blood offering can underscore the mistakes of AOS.

I speak for the many, and we have significant buying power.

I look forward to your response.

BR

Richard

Do you mean every founding chapter?  Because there are an awful many of chapters out beyond those.

I did not.  However, believe there is a way where the auctioneer can set a minimum bid, no? That way such an issue can be cut off at the pass before it even gets going.

So ... still wondering where'd the lion head and lion shield come from. :icon_wink:

Ok , USB drilled out 5 Halberds to swap to metal spearheads, to add them to my 15 spear unit, to make 20. All shields are Grimforge, feathers are a mixture of Blood Bowl , and other companies, lots of different heads, some from Black Chapel, plus my own sculpt of the unreleased spearman on CCM WIKI, which has never hit ebay.

Zak - check the link, it's a full time researcher, Paul Sinclair.

He brings in many others also, it's absolutely incredible IMO, once you start listening to it all.

I have a friend who filmed a UFO , - showed me the clip, like a hovering metallic tube, just rotating up in the sky. I've later learned that these tubes spit out drone like beachball sized lights.... The whole subject is crazy. His phone was also tapped soon after 100%.

https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x6y24x1

Start with this film , and if you aren't hooked then i'll be shocked.

It's all the same phenomina interlinked, Cryptids, Intelligent lights, UFO's, animal mutilations, shadow people, deteched voices.

All similar to Skinwalker ranch series USA,, which is droppings eason 3 soon by the way

Still active, but I recently transferred all the knights to The Assault Group, so you can get your fix from their webstore now.  :happy:

I had 2 weeks steep learning curve, with some bad nights sleep!

Like most things I don't like to learn slowly, so literally as soon as i unpacked and set the machines up, i was attempting huge entire tank hull sections LOL

it's supposed to take weeks to perfect your skill, but i just went in hard, and fucked up a few things

Guys, everything has gone weird, the hobby has changed overnight.

I just 3D printed 5 Nulm Spearmen in 2 hours 10 mins!

STL was free and resin was 15ml, (£20 for 1000 ml)

LOL

Pics soon

Yes, 3D printing stuff has gotten very good indeed.  For those who don't want to mess with the fuss of 3D printing, their are folks who do it to order, and who'd a thunk this would be going on, its amazing.

Just to update you guys

http://collecting-citadel-miniatures.com/wiki/index.php/File:Unreleased_-_Empire_Spearman.jpg

You may recall this awesome unreleased spearman ?

The good news is, I am commissioning a copy of this model , designed in CAD.

I have high hopes, for completion next week.

It's cost me a small fortune so far, but there will be Halberd and Spear variants, perfect for Warhammer Empire armies

I hope to sell them on ebay, printed, and also sell the STL's for maybe £2-3 on Cults. A small fee.

The designer is Nigerian, and i have to say it was hard work to get it to this stage, but I think 3D Modelling is properly difficult from what i read.

All the UV co-ordinate work, etc.

It takes years to learn.

The copy isn't really a good match, but my painted print demonstrated that it looks good in the flesh

I'm hoping Chumley didn't get lost in the basement with his 3D printers.

And that he wears a mask or airs out the fumes with an appropriate system.  Both could be wise.

@Chumley   Have you seen this guys work on cult3d?   https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/game/holy-roman-empire-halberdier

Search up "(Holy Roman) Empire Halberdiers and Spearmen"  he's got little variations of the classic plastic halberdier.

I printed a bunch, they are spot on:
