Stop posting pictures! Your miniatures are far too nice.He even has some of those ogres you want/need!
And where it that one great swords men from (you have posted a separate pictures from him)?
Damn, the blue flame with the bright wizard is outstanding! My favorite regiment are the 6th edition spearmen. Well done!
He's a young cocky engineer, out for a raz in the steam tank!
Stolen it from the Master Engineer's garage at night, popped the hatch and is waiting to pop some shots at a cow for target practice :)
yeah the guy kissing the sword is going in my militia unit
no magnetization, i dont believe in it , like to keep mine in a cabinet mostly for viewing
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).
Just poured through this thread. Really great and consistent army- very impressive. I think I like your old ogre unit the best. Have any closer shots of them?
Top stuff. :icon_cool:
Nice work but only stuff that I don't like it is blue detail gold red or white is better for me or even some kind of ice blue but you get me idea I have about 70-80 of them maybe I will sell about 30 of them for some interesting price :engel:[/b]
i got 11 models so i guess 2 are duplicates, which i will have to sell on e bay
I believe there is also another rare warband, ''Averlander''
which I saw go in it's original box, last year, for £100+
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?
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 like it but is it to much ($) for unit of about 40 soldiers :unsure:
Nice halberdiers there! Will be nice to see the whole unit.
Do you have an abnormal amount of free time, or are you just so organized that you can balance a busy life plus what seems to be 30+ hours of painting a week? :biggriin:
i've had no formal training gents, so excuse me if this is babble!Has any miniature painter though? The beard looks excellent.
I can assure you that the money shot is on route, and will be posted by 7pm!
THIS IS S4!
I undercoated with Skull White followed by a 100% coat of watered down vermin brown,So how did you discover this combination?
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.
Bo!
i read an article about using different colours with metal,Do you know where the article could be located?
seems to work wonders
use either blue or brown as a mix with your boltgun metal,
it seems to give the model a whole new depth and realism

He looks outstanding mr chumley warner! I love how his armor came out. It's hard to judge by the picture but for some reason I imagine that these older OOP metal figs (pre perry brothers) are somewhat smaller in size compared to later models, are they?
I have assembled a team of 14 idiots , with me being the chief idiot!
We travel to Tenerife tomorrow for a 5 day Stag do, before my wedding in June.
If you don't hear from me again, then I died and left this forum my best works.
Bonza!
Just back from Tenerife, owe, will post some pics!
================================
GW sent me a 2nd batch of Marksman of Miragliano for no reason!!!
They were supposed to send 4 replacement Xbows?!
They sent a whole fresh 12 men?!
=================================
I've also sculpted 10 new Halberds from 5 different kits,
My impression is that you used a different type of blue. The previous miniature had a deeper, cleaner blue, whereas this one is more shabby and worn-out. Could be the lighting. But if it is intentional, I actually like the second one better.
i've had a fair few drinks and i tell you this,:::cheers:::
life is very short , and doesn't really make much sense ,
so enjoy your time , don't take shit from arseholes
know your own reality
peace out

wth- what are you doing at your wedding, sacrificing live goats?
I spent all weekend priting the order of service for my wedding ceremony , 1200 pages all in, :(
I'm getting married on thursday, and its going to take 15 minutes
I agree with Soth, CMON is a bit rubbish. Don't let it bother you so much though, it doesn't effect your life in the grand scheme of things.
True.
Incidentally, that last mini of yours is a 6 at best.
:icon_wink: (I'm kidding, your work is great)

Wonderful stuff Chumley...I think the new Camera is doing a great job...but it appears to me that you may need a little more light to really show off the quality of your figures...what is your photo set up at this point?
Cheers,
Blue
I'm going to be really, really, really nitpicky here but... the reins look a little flat.
Still; superb as always.
I think Brutus is a Mordheim Witch Hunter dog , that's what Ebay stated on the auction!
yeah babyGo for it :biggriin:
more shite on route!
:Ohmy: really nice! I too would love to see detail shots of the standard bearer...and that AWESOME champion figure...one of my favorite figures from the entire Empire range.
Cheers,
Blue
let's be honest i'm hardly heavy metal standard!Yet you still do paint with such an amazing level of skill and quality that can make many of us ashamed of our own meager efforts.
It tickles me that all the figures in the unit are older than 75% of the forum members. steveb
interesting!
they look intriguing!
(http://i1027.photobucket.com/albums/y335/richardapplin/IMG00222-20110209-1245.jpg)
Daaamn!
What model is that?
Nice work as always. But as I said in the Brother Vinni thread, that hat's gotta go.
Brother Vinni's models are awesome!
Very nice, no flash, no mess, well fitting, detail as good as GW,
better than 6th ed plastics by far
(http://i1027.photobucket.com/albums/y335/richardapplin/IMG00392-20110510-1359.jpg)
The hat is 100 times better. It looks like its really sitting on his head now.Agree :engel:
Thanks to Steve B , he shipped me 39 Halberds from Battlemasters!"Just tabletop standard", he says... :Ohmy:
Speed painting , Nordland scheme , here is the 1st offering..
Took 1.5 hours.
I want to assemble 50 for gaming , speed painted , so quality is not great , just tabletop standard
comments welcome!

Then soon I will be painting a masterpiece , Marius Leitdorf , no holes barred, a 30 hour job , no rushing
Nice job on Columbo!Yes it is :happy:
It's a vermin brown chainmail mix base, washed blue, red, gryphon , babac , etc,
then i highlighted i recall using a mixture of Mythril and red ink,
we had some taiwanese colleagues visit head office in london, and i was on a con call via my home office with a head set for 6 hours, lolSo true :engel:
managed to talk and paint !
it's hard core pain though doing 40 identical models !
You are a hard worker. :eusa_clap:Why ohhh why I am not hard worker :unsure: :blush:
It's probably all used in photoshoots for Storm of Magic. I'm guessing they need a big army for that.

Where did that figure come from?
On the sheild, perhaps make one of the three tear drops white, instead of having two blues.

:)
really depressing and grey !
http://www.solegends.com/marauder/mm60ftrs.htm
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
Better pic of the Warband

i knew someone would eventually spot this :)Why be a secret fan? It's a bloody good post-apocalyptic type disaster movie - albeit with something belonging more in the realm of Warhammer than in RL!!
I am a secret fan of that film
Just a real quick paint job, using a Scribor head swapMind showing us the original figure/'before' shots - if you have any pics of it, that is?
let teh wash settle for a minute , then hair dryer , on low
:)
works very well
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.....
Ah, O.K. It's just that I'd figured 'em for champions since you'd painted 'em so well.... It must take A-G-E-S to paint an army to this standard.....? *wondering*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.....
They are being used in my army, as Halberd and Greatsword rank and file.
I'll post some pics in the future of the units updated.

You are indeed a very talented painter. I have enjoyed looking through this thread. :eusa_clap: It has kept me entertained for hours.
Now I was sad, when I noticed that you entered this command group into the current painting competition. The reason that I was sad, is simply to do with the fact that I don't stand chance of coming close to winning....the quality of this group is awesome, just like all your painted minis.(http://i1027.photobucket.com/albums/y335/richardapplin/DSC04650.jpg)
Keep the great painted minis coming.
http://gamezoneminiatures.de/imperium/infanterie/schwertkampfer.htmlAre they metal/plastic? Do they have command options? I couldn't care less about a champion, but a standard and musician are must for me in anything but missile units....
Gamezone Germany,
shipped in 5 days to me in UK!

as good as GW OOP metal empire minis IMO
It is a pity there are only three different ones :icon_cry:
http://gamezoneminiatures.de/imperium/infanterie/schwertkampfer.html (http://gamezoneminiatures.de/imperium/infanterie/schwertkampfer.html)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. :)

Arent the battle master minis smaller than the 4th edition plastic halbediers? How do they look mixed in and ranked up?Those ones he's painted are the 4th Ed. plastic ones - the BM versions are crap, believe me!! I previously owned some before I gave 'em away free just to get rid of 'em....

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. Hopefully once I orginise I'll put some pics of my converted dwarf handgunners

Guys I've done these 10 Halberds, using greatswords , lolI was looking at the pic. Loving the guy 2nd in from the left on the front row. Thinking he would look way kool with a sword. Too bad he wasn't a Greatsword. Then i read above the pic for where these guys came from. :-)

So, where do you live, Chumley? Because I want tokidnap you and set you to work on my armygive you jaffa cakes.
back to JR tolkien methinks
Just read some of Graham McNeill's Empire Book,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.
It felt like the dialogue was flat and the grammar quite basic,
i gave up after 10 pages,
did this guy study english at university etc? Not meaning to sound snobbish etc, but it feels really amateurish

ahah the skirts are growing on you
ultimately i want 200 halberds in 4 blocks of 50
lol
Love your painting and modeling, very clean crisp look some great models/conversions, not sure personally on the new halberdiers, very nicely painted but they have a bit to much of a wizard of oz, witches guard look to them if that makes sense, nice but not my cup of tea :)Yeah, just sink a ton of cash into some Vostroyans for the heads and you are good to go.
3rd :)

Wow! I whould be happy if a chould produce troops in a tenth of the time that you do...do the math. :icon_rolleyes: don't be greedy. :icon_redface: settle for painting them in half the time. :icon_biggrin: kidding aside I agree with what you meant to say. It is amazing how fast they are not only prouced but painted quite (understatement) well also, either one is impressive enough, but taken together they are amazing. CW you can send a thank you figure any time you want. steveb
Looks really good!
I tried, it doesn't work. steveb
cheers i think i'm avoiding an early mid life crisis by painting every empire model ever made!

By the way, is that a dead body in the foreground of those Kislev cavalry?
God damn it Chumley! You've gone and painted your pistols in the same color scheme as mine, and yours put mine to shame....

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.
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
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...
Coffee is for painting, beer is for gaming :)
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:stevebCMoN 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!"

Is it just me, or do the Gamezone halberdiers look Spanish?
been moving offices and trying out BF3 on PC..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:

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

it's a mix and match of OOP and new Greatswords and Mordheim + old GW and Marauder , hehe
To be fair I lavished about 200 hours on this unit over a long period of time.
I would hate for someone to use Dwellers Below on them in battle?!
It might give me a stroke!
lolbeware of the unsupervised munchkin, also loose pets with teething problems, and the game geeks who pick up a figure by the most delicate appendage or part, and ask if it is breakable. Also beware the idiot who throws his dice with force of Thor throwing his hammer. This is a great unit, well done. I reocgnise many old friends that are used within its ranks. I can tell that you lavished time and love on them, may the gods protect them and who ever dares to mishandle them. steveb
i recon this unit cost me £300 +

If any1 is interested i am using a different technique here ..I'm curious how it will look in the end, I might try it once.
Basically, grey undercoat, blue and black washes,
then i will plan to paint the raised areas with very light colours, using the shade which the wash already provided
it's my own weird technique :)
Such a simple but effective conversion. I guess one could do something similar with the various pikemen options from the GW collector's range (http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/armySubUnitCats.jsp?catId=cat500025a&rootCatGameStyle=).
His Kislevite swordsmen looked nice as they fled my long beards :biggriin:
I blame Volks, lol
yep bro that was their plan, a screen for the greatswords :)
I knew I should have charged 1 halberd unit in alone, then the 2nd after they fled though,
double loss run, squish was a travesty !
I blame Volks, lol
Funniest though was my dwarves running down and killing Volks general...on his horse...with his knights...
won this on e bay, 7 quid!
IS the knight on the right hand side an OOP GW General or a Marauder mm66 ::heretic::??

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.
Well purple is the colour of sexual frustration.

With only one dragon and no mating going on it is very fitting I guess.
is that a bad thing?No, I actually like purple. :happy: And it is a royal color, so that is good thing, very fitting.

Sorry, doesn't work for me.
The figure is not seated enough, the armour is too bland and I dislike the purple.
Excuse me for being brutally honest.
I'm really impressed by how you listened to the suggestions made on this board and altered the figure to make it look a lot better than it did only a couple of hours ago! Extremely nice painting and modelling, allmost makes me want to create a thread of my own and show of some leopard company helberdiers and other weird things=)
what's a Zambucca?
An excellent addition to your fine collection. Will he be fielded in battle?
One thing though, why would young KF have a beard and the regular KF shave it off?
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!
Cheers,
Pete
I envy your talents! :icon_sad:

That cabinet looks awesome! The mirror in the back makes it look like you have twice as many models too!
It is always interesting to see your work. This time, I especially like the dirty white look on the cloak. Thanks for sharing. :-)
bought these , but what the heck are they?

It is. And seriously speaking - I like your Aldebrand very much if that didn't come through. I should try and get one myself. Did they just recently take him OOP? I think I remember seeing him on the GW website recently, but now he's not around anymore ... :-(
Has any1 worked on the Chaos Archeon model , removed the spikes etc and swapped the head for Empire?
I concur with DK. I used him as my TGM/WP etc. Awesome model. Looking forward to seeing what you do with him!

Chumley, can I ask what painting experience you have?
You've only been in the hobby for a few years, right?
Guys a quick rank and file trooper from Marauder 1990's.

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...

Valten looks great, but I'm a bit scared of the horse: it has human eyes!
It needs to cause fear.

I bought some moderately ok painted chaos knights for Brian to use on the 4th of feb against me, which I will sell back on e bay most likely.
Anyway, i checked the guys commission website, who had painted the knights; and his work was mediocre at best, possibly I would say amateurish,
it's bizarre that bad painters think they are commission artists!
the guys mum had written on his page about how proud they were of him,
oh dear
How much do people make commission painting?
eg. let's say for an Empire character on foot , painted to GW standard?
arrrg i've gone mad, warhammer empire mad!

yep i am thinking 30 greatswords , metal ones, in red armour!
don't steal my idea pal!
had this model in my drawer for some time awaiting my inspiration
(http://i1027.photobucket.com/albums/y335/richardapplin/IMG_3934.jpg)
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!
very rare GW Mordheim pal, cost me £27
every GW empire model must be painted if it kills me

Do both, knock him on the head and take his minis, then write a glowing post afterwards about his incredible talent.
I don't like Green on minis!
Dunno really, Robin Hood syndrome maybe, men in green tights?
There are so many other colour combinations which work well ,
purple and yellow,
red and blue
blue and yellow
white and red,
adding green doesn't work for me,
i can't recall ever having liked green on empire style models,

Looking at everyones painted models almost make me ashamed of how horrible I am at painting... Sure ive only painted 10 models in total in my lifetime... But still.
What is your new magic armour mix? I used to get similarish (although less clean, because I suck more at painting) results with inks, but I don't seem to be able to work it out with these newfangled washes.
Great idea but the waist looks weird - a touch of greenstuff wold have helped

What he said
I haven't seen anyone ever painting an unreleased Empire model on Warhammer Empire or CMON ,
potentially i've found a seller of MM66 knights, complete set , steeds and riders
what price would be fair ?!
lol
i'm looking at £100 i recon
These [warrior priests] are so rare that only once in 2 years have any of them surfaced on e bay.
Surely they would be worth a buy!

You sir, are an eBay maniac. That is however a fantastic price for a war wagon. Looking forward to seeing it done (probably in about 15 mins).
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
Damn. To another forum member even!
:blush: :blush: If you remember I tried to give you money for them....
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.QuoteAnalysis 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!
in those days buying an articulated suit of armour , was equivalent to the cost of a large house
he is so old that the knight even seems rusted/coroded :biggriin:
(http://i1027.photobucket.com/albums/y335/richardapplin/IMG_4164.jpg)
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.
2 hours later
Are the coats solid, or just like a wash?
Would someone sell him some MM66 Knights with lances? He's desperate! :smile2:
Damn that's tempting. I have a bunch of em in my collection....
waiting for the toilet
i spent £200 on getting the full MM66 set
how do i stop this addiction?
Have kids...That should do it.
Now that I think about it, I can't wait until he starts buying his own minis to slap paint on! :happy:
You do realise that it will be your money he will be spending to start with :p
Kislev is rising round these parts let me tell you!!Perhaps due to demand, GW will bring them back...probably not like they were though :dry:
so, are these kislev guys invading belgium at the end of april?
i'll have to arrange a UK game event
Are they riding the old wood elf bear?
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!

Not much more constructive to add without sounding like I'm gushing, keep it up though :)

there is nothing better than a nice heavy model IMO!Point taken, but when I am tired and hungry I am too lazy to carry around several kilos of metal models - but maybe that's just me.....

I just got me 3 Demi Gryph's and the new book ordered express del.
eee
Four hours after complaining your owlbears haven't arrived yet, you have them assembled and undercoated? Good grief!
can the templar grand master ride a demigryph?no.
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?

Have ANY army book had the option to put a character on the back of a monstrous mount?like a captasus you mean?
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?
The Empire's most noble and experienced knights ride to battle atop Demi Gryphon steeds , with razor sharp talons, they cut a swathe through even the toughest unit of Chaos Warrior scum!

Have you painted the other two demigryph knights yet? :icon_confused:
sitting round eating cakes ?No way - all of their job adverts require either a willingness to live and work in or near Nottingham, or else being wiling to transfer if you work in the stores?
now that I have been featured on GW website , is there any way I can wangle a job there?
I would need to work mostly from home ,
maybe 1 day a week in Nottingham,
lol
Love the demigryph! Looking forward to the whole unit. Any chance you picked up the griffon kit? Really nice...Unfortunately he already has Karl Franz (first page).
Also, props for making the GW page!

Remember the job advert for games developer?WHAT?! £15,000 per annum for a games developer?! No wonder the whole company is going down the crapper - that's not even the average industrial wage. That's only £1250 a month, not even £320 per week!!
They wanted a maths or science graduate, and were going to pay 15 grand.
No wonder the army books suck.

I just gotta say though, that about a decade ago, I left the restaurant business for my "dream job" with Games Workshop for about a year and a half.

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

i don't want to go back to Exeter , i have a horrible feeling it will be really small and not like i recall it in reality etc,

Yes your lazorcannon looks very good.
Amazing. :eusa_clap:
Two questions:
1. Can you choose if the big wheels go on the front or back - it looks like the way you have done it makes the laser cannon shoot upwards? Or by doing scenic stuff on the base means the wagon isn't level.
2. Those blue icons on the horse neck armour - are they twin-tailed comet symbols?
great work chumley :::cheers::: do you glue (and attach to the base) everything together before painting? From your early pictures it looks like it but I'm not sure.
Very nice! Great use of the Nicodemus model as well btw, next to the lazor cannon he doesn't look so freakishly large.
Very nice luminarcullaniumwotsit, CW! Its always cool to see how fast your wash-and-go technique comes together and looks so good. :)
I've magnetized a skirmish tray to hold some characters, so that I can easily pick them out for a game ...

I was hoping for some kind folks on here to pitty me when they read this , and dig out their old MM60's..
Could take me months to complete the collection and a lot of money
Trivia :
What is the best OOP GW Empire Halberd State Troop model ever made?
That looks amazing!
And I don't even like the model.
I have 8 shelves in my cabinet now.
6 full.
I'm trying to get to a point where I can select anything I want for a game of any size up to 5K points
See pic, I have a juicy 4 sets of state troop bus 5*6 detachments.
9 Artillery pieces
2 50 man hordes,
28 characters
60 Cavalry
40 Greatswords
40 missile troops,
4 * 10 man detachments
dragon, gryphon, peg, walter, lum, etc
etc

I agree with you, the models are quirky, and unrealistic , but that's what i quite like about them.:::cheers:::
It's the 1st time i have used yellow and green ; i'm trying to paint old school GW style
I just tested for the 1st time paint stripper from B & Q on some mono pose plastic halberdsChumley, since I can probably access a B&Q, or buy online from the U.K., could you please provide details, product name(in the B&Q system), price, etc.? T'would be much appreciated.
amazing
run them under the tap and the paint comes off like a snake shedding skin !
they were heavily painted also

Your collection is getting better and better. You should open a museum.

Beautiful, they look fantastic together. I can't imagine there are many people out there with a large number of these miniatures and even less painted this well :::cheers:::
next I paint my 2nd treat tomorrow
Wow, that fig's sculpting is so much better than the previous one. He just doesn't look Empire to me though. Of course this was from before GW had really solidified the look of each faction in The Old World.

Of course - they are hobbits!
I've been looking at how GW used to paint their old 1980's Fighter F Series ranges in White Dwarf.Wow you have found a habit more expensive than a crack habit :icon_eek:
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.
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.

I'm still very upset -- I've got those figures but the champion "disappeared" from my army at a tournament a couple years ago. He's seriously one of my favorite GW figures :x
sorry bud
i promise to paint him well though
(http://i1027.photobucket.com/albums/y335/richardapplin/IMG_6781.jpg)Assuming this guy is human, I agree with Delthos. He looks more like an elf than a man....
I've genuinely found a guy who has about 500 OOP 1980's EMpire Fighters and Norse for sale.
I wasn't sure, but he just sent me 3 large images.
LOL
This is gonna be painful on my wallet!
I say look back Generals for your inspiration, back in time , when GW was innocent, and the 1980's sculpts were raw with quality
For some reason the Halflings Blister arrived and doesn't include the HL2 model.
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??

You still looking for HL2? If you've got a spare HL4 (is that the sergeant you're referring to?) and don't mind a cross-oceanic trade, I'll swap for an HL2.
He may also make a suit out of your skin so he can wear Chumley always.
When you're nearing this goal, I want to pay you a visit, photograph your collection and make a lovely gallery out of it.
Maybe he can do a time capture photo shoot like they do on wildlife program's. So instead of a plant slowly growing and flowering it will be your army growing and you burning out in painting exhaustionWhen you're nearing this goal, I want to pay you a visit, photograph your collection and make a lovely gallery out of it.
Sure thing, but I think it will take about 5 years yet.
There are so many models :)
Does it bother you that they're all facing sideways? (You seem to have made this a feature, with the unreleased guy at the front). It is a source of constant frustration to me with those models, since they don't rank up nicely if facing forwards.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.

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.
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.Yes!

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

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.

I want your collection! A shame my bank account can't take as much battering as yours :dry:
I still don't understand why you are putting all those old figs on Skirmisher movement trays. You do know that militia aren't skirmishers correct? Only Archers and Huntsmen are Skirmishers.
Awesome collection of models you have here Chumley, love the Besiegers, great models. Going to do any other DoW Stuff?

Are the shields on those Swordsmen really that vivid a blue, or is it just from lighting and photographing?
Hi chumley!
I have been creepily watching your plog (and others...) for a few months.. and finally decided to join up to the forum! Really find your stuff inspirational to read through and follow so thanks for that!
Loving these colours, looks like you nailed the magical metal effect that you were aiming for. Looking forward to seeing it all knocked up.

Finished to gaming standard but still plenty of work left
It re-iterates why never to undercoat black, it's so hard to finish to a good standard from black imo
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.
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 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.
Black is like a reverse paint job, start with dark shades and work lighter,
Sorry for the slight derailment but why does everyone have this model but me :cry: It's my favorite
(http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k285/csabick/MarauderCommand.jpg)
Black is like a reverse paint job, start with dark shades and work lighter,
guess what , that was Black Undercoat!
lol
The only time it's feasible imo, is where the model is 80%+ armour ....
Wait...didn't you say never use black... :evil:
I need some1 to prove to me that black under coating works
GW spun 3 models from this sculpt,
this one, one with a beard , and an unreleased general!
Fetching lad!:Ohmy: oOOOOHH!!! he didnt just say that
The guy with horns looks great too! Even though I must say that the armour pops out a lot more on the chap you undercoated black...

This guy is on eBay for 15 pounds ATM.

It's worth that
Those Heroic Fighters of the Known World are some of the best from that era. Moon Duke one of my faves, and you've done a great job on him
A solemn shadow of his former self, he walks the halls of the Collegium wearing a golden mask, hidden under a cape.
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!
Enjoy
(http://i1027.photobucket.com/albums/y335/richardapplin/IMG_7603.jpg)
Also nice wizards! It's great to see them painted, so difficult to really see what they look like on solegends...
These guys go into battle half naked but still bring helmets? Man, I dunno if they are weird or have odd fashion sense.
At any rate, I like the paintjob you did on them.
[/quote
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.
So now you know!
Regarding scary-face the masked wizard, he's actually a modified version of one of the Lone Wolf miniatures range, based on a picture from the first game book. He's a helghast:

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.

I can't find him, but he is GW 85'
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
@ Orcboy - you seem to have some duplicate OOP metal fighters! Fancy selling to me anything?
Here is the big question. Who here would convert a limited edition if they had duplicates?

Fantastic minis, how did you do the leather shoes?
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
Yeah!! I love those ogres. Have you got any more to paint? Nice to see one getting the Warner treatment.

they suck ,
everything must be collected and painted! :eusa_wall: :eusa_wall: :eusa_wall: :eusa_wall:

were there priests in the 90's i dont think they made them part of the army until 6th edition :icon_question: :icon_question: :icon_question:
I like Otto, Wilhelm and Luigi.
Ah you beat me to it! I was going to put Borgio on a chicken too. I'll just have to copy. I want to use Lucrezzia Belladonna if I can get a model. Sitting side sadle on a demigryph will look nice.

she is a pricey Gal!
£40 ouch!
:eusa_wall:
She is sitting in a small pile of bits to be turned into my Grand Master's beautiful Tilean wife . . . currently she is slated to go on a Bret warhorse, but I am beginning to wonder if the Demigriff might not be a better choice . . .
trust me a lot of my money goes in Steve's direction already :)

I love the duelist. I remember it was used as a witch hunter when they were doing the play testing articles for mordheim in white dwarf. He has been on my wish list since then.Suppose that'd be an appropriate use for that figure. Similar to my use of him as an Estalian Inquisitor.
Another quick oneSurprised that one wasn't painted as a Kislevite.
(http://i1027.photobucket.com/albums/y335/richardapplin/IMG_9558.jpg)
I've noticed that if you combine the C26 and F4 Men at Arms Citadel 1980's white dwarf listings, there are 43 more Empire style human models to be collected ...
Fuuuuuuu**k
:eusa_wall: :eusa_wall:
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.
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.

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 really like the pegasus expression :happy:

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.
What do those look like? Think what I saw might be older.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.Like the High Helms etc from 1987?

(http://i1027.photobucket.com/albums/y335/richardapplin/IMG_9687.jpg)I always liked this figure. Have one, but haven't painted it yet.
Oooh! Like what you did wiht that wizard! :icon_biggrin: :eusa_clap:
We're getting a little bit personal with that question, but now that you asked, no. I save that for women, not miniatures. :icon_wink:Oooh! Like what you did with that wizard! :icon_biggrin: :eusa_clap:do you feel hot when you look at him?
It's the un released temple dog !
Cathay will be making an appearance in my DG Knights!
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 almost like they were on speed in 1987' then shut up shop comparatively ! :eusa_wall:As wages go up, production goes down. Downside of capitalism.
I'm amazed at how many figures Citadel was making in those days. :icon_cool:
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.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.
They also didn't have the same requirements of quality. Most of their old models were so bad they barely warrant a look. You could knock out models in large numbers where you are accepting almost anything.

Awesome stuff Chumley! I had this model for years so it is great for me to final see some paint on it.
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:::

The old orc line was such a terrible joke that it was an utter embarrassment. The goblins were bad too. Of all of the armies, Chaos and O&G have had the most improvement.
"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.

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.
Looks sort of shiny. I don't like a shiny finish, but I do like the staff!
I like the model, but why is he purple?
Isn't he supposed to be a bright wizard? :?
Cheers guys for pulling me up on this..
I added some further highlights and effort!
Hope it's a bit better now

I'm not completely sure what counts as "the red period" but i really like the 4th ed. Empire stuff. The knightly orders, reiksguard foot knights, greatswords, and loads of individual models were great! I don't even mind that bright red colour they used. But that's when I started WHFB so I might be a bit nostalgic.

on a positive note, with recent purchases which are in the post now, i am 2 models away from collecting every Citadel Norse/Viking/Barbarian model ever made, including the 2 uncatalogued mounted barbarian raiders.
Nooooo , they are the same moulds!Ok fine :wink: We'll let you get away with it :engel:
Only for about 20 vikings also !
It's a cool model, but that Griffon just looks really small these days!
'90s? Surely that's the 2000s one from 6th edition!
I think it's the best griffon model. Better than the ugly fat chicken before it, and much better than the even uglier and even fatter chicken that was released for 8th!
Guys I've managed to collect all of the Norse/Viking/Barbarian models from the 80's apart from 3 peski ones!

In between my Sunday DIY job list, I managed to pull off a 2 hour 5 man unit speed paint experiment.
Started 100% undercoat of Silver mixed 50/50 Blue Wash, then onto the heater, then added some base colours, flesh , leather etc,
then washed blue + black, then heater, washed brown + black, then heater,
then mythril + white highlights,
then purity sealed and based
this is what i finished on after 2 hours 5 mins ish
I'm using an oil fired portable heater,
so i can go very watery base coats , and washes, and dry them fast

The admins would have to keep this thread protected for everyone in the future to view every slotta human / empire model ever made by GW!
If you ever get ahold of that spearman, you must paint him to a 10 standard on CMON. :icon_twisted:
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
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
no idea ref pre slotta stuff mate

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:

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!
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

Yes I sold my left testicle to get these 2!
You will never have seen them b4 in the flesh unless you are some sort of serious collector

Does the guy on the left have feet the same size as his head?

Sorry for your loss. :ph34r:
The feet are huge!
You could certainly amass quite a collection of testicles.
The feet are huge!
In the 1980's humans believed that feet were more important!
You have to know your ancient history to understand these sculpts!

Hope you feel better, Chum - I'll be praying for you.
I have this handgunner and its a very nice model.
Chumley needs your help guys,
I need these fighters to complete the whole collection!

True dat!
Me speed paintin 2 hour per model don't allow for such tweaks boss!
Me have 500 primed models from 80's to do still !
me did very quick job to be fair,
When will your collection be displayed for public and how much will be the entrance fee? :engel:
Hey do you need the one labeled Imperial General? I've got one but he has no wings and needs stripped.
To be honest the only one I have ever seen with wings was steveb's and that was the mounted version :blush:Hey do you need the one labeled Imperial General? I've got one but he has no wings and needs stripped.
The problem there become though it is probably easier to procure a mini that still has it's wings than track them down separately.
cheers me already have that one and some wingsAlright just figured I'd give it to to further your quest you if you didn't have one :::cheers::: I quite like the big guy I may as well use him.

Oh and I had minor bids in on Vlad and Owen...but I see once Chumley got involved insanity followed ($36.57 for Vlad good lord) :icon_surprised:
Man, work over the bases. The figures are great, your painting is great, your colour balance is great... But the bases...

I like this bunch Chumley.
Do many of your older figures make it in to your 5K list?
Congrats on the completed collection. :eusa_clap: :eusa_clap: :eusa_clap: I like these figs a lot. I wouldn't field them either, as constantly watching after them in a tournament would cause me a heartattack. What is next... anything left?

Great painting Chumley ,forgot how good these figures are, :eusa_clap: :eusa_clap: :eusa_clap:, now if I could only find a cheap Vlad. :biggriin:
Any special rules for that one?
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...

Nice bro, been waiting to see it painted.
How was the Warhammer world event.
Very impressive collection, and solid painting to boot! Even though I myself like the 90's and 2000ish dogs of war and empire miniatures more, these ooze character. Very nice!
Oh, thanks, how did I miss that page? :icon_redface:
And now, back to Mr CW's minis....
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 ;)
sell me some 80's metal or i will create nuclear war
Oh, thanks, how did I miss that page? :icon_redface:
And now, back to Mr CW's minis....
I have 90% of the compendium addition models now, they were the very first slotta based Fighters ever made.
Some of them you see on e bay are weathered , like the metal has gone dark grey.
If you can find some which look shiny and silver, they are worth a lot..
Some of them took me many months to track down, and I am still looking for others!
sell me some 80's metal or i will create nuclear war

Yup. That's one of the nicest figures I've seen

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
I've been spending about £500 a month on Warhammer
£500?! That is immense. I'm allowed about £30. Hahaha
remember we are all dust and nothing is realAnd probably a little drunk :ph34r:
If I had the money to have a unit of those I would :ph34r:
Also: Iron Maiden + Warhammer is a killer combo.
You sir, have great taste! :eusa_clap:
:::cheers:::
Those cases look nice. I can't quite tell from your photo - could I fit a full 10 x 5 movement tray in there?
(Horde-style that is - I can see a bus won't go :))
10*4 standard GW Movement tray size is all you will fit unfortunately ,
I have a big glass cabinet upstairs for my big stuff
Great Work as usual, but I don't like bases :unsure:
argg , i was copying the old school GW Empire green base styles!
ok i will try to make the bases more to your liking guys!!
argg u killin me man !
Better but blue pupils will make him look like his eyes are glowing.Wyrdstone! It's all over Mordhiem.
Glowing from power usage mayhaps?
maybe the guy just has naturally blue eyes?blue pupils?

That glow in the dark...
Another excellent pj...though I must agree on the eyes...try adding a black pupil and it will probably look fine.
I must say that I find the proportions of the figure to be very wonky...his neck is too long and his chest too small...very odd to my eye. But ymmv of course.

That is a very nice model. IS it mordheim too? I don't recognize it.
I have the zwei hander sword guy as my elector count/general.

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

ah but do you like the Militia
The go away!ah but do you like the Militia
No, old school Empire minis are ugly...
The go away!
Wow... Some of these minis are gorgeous! i'm not sure if its the mini itself or your paintjob chumley haha i sometimes wish they hadn't stopped a lot of these models :( was disappointed when i couldn't pick up some venators as Knights for my army when at WHW, also to find a lot of the collectors range is going too :dry: sad times...
Chum, sometimes I think you need help. :unsure:
some1 had some speed
i'm still awake at 7am ,

Just out of curiosity, what's your favorite IM track? Infinite Dreams would be mine (closely followed by 2 Minutes to Midnight, Aces High and The Trooper)...
If I can get these 3, I will have a full collection of all 1987 GW Fighter models which were officially released.

Fantastic new additions! Not every old model is a beauty - others again are just great. But all of them certainly have a lot of character and a certain charm and your painting helps in this regard. :::cheers:::
The collection is for long term storage my friend, display cabinets, preserved for 2000 years !
Yo found this guy finally!And who is he?
Why did you use so much green on Luthor Huss's armour?

In the Marienburger milita unit, what's that thing that looks like a harp stuck on a spear?
That weapon looks incredibly useless. :icon_lol:Not really - it's actually quite useful.... It could both crush/strangle the neck and/or stab at the same time, I.M.O.

Stage 6. Purity seal the whole lot.
This hobby is worse than a crack habit, spend a shed load of money on little packets and when you say no I don' t need anything the little crack fairy is whispering One more go and get that shines new model you had a eye on
Is it some form of sickness or pure genius?

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!
Blue
first of all thanks for the advice...ill certainly be giving this a go soon....the problem being that i need to buy more inks...and no one around here carries GW paints. do you have any experience using artist inks or vallejo inks? i think i can get those locally...otherwise I'll be waiting on mail order.
ironically i'll probably use halflings for my test run too.
yours look fantastic...particualrly en mass!
cheers,
Blue
I don't think he is open to selling, but I offered him £150.
I've located a guy owning the lord on horse!I wouldn't be surprised if by located you mean full name ,d.o.b, address, work address, time table of him leaving the house to go to work, pin code to home alarm and exactly where he keeps
I don't think he is open to selling, but I offered him £150.
:dry:
Midaski - how comes you don't own the ultra rare Battle Lord on horse back from 87' sir??
:)
Maybe I do, but I don't want to torment you when I wouldn't sell it.:eusa_clap: :eusa_clap: :eusa_clap: :eusa_clap: :eusa_clap:
Patience.
When they have won then they will not be bidding next time - well maybe not. :engel:
Over the years there are not many things I haven't seen come up more than once.
What do you use to highlight the red armour? looks nice :::cheers:::
I'm blown out , what project could possibly match this for me next? argg
That was worth every penny sir, well done! :eusa_clap: :::cheers:::
Don't even try to match it right now, take a while to gaze in satisfaction at your work and then pick up something simple / cheap for your next paint session.
I thought about saying that, but it seemed too cheeky... :Ohmy:
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 was working on a home version of the Empire Collectors guide for myself. A couple of the example pages I was making below in similar style to the old Collectors book. I gave up as I was running out of good photos. Would love to see a complete version :::cheers:::
Use Fairy Power Spray work wonders! doesn't melt it but it literally peels off the model entirely great stuff to use!this 100% it also works on plastics I managed to strip some old battlemaster archers quite well with it
Also only takes 30 mins to 2 hours to get the job done ;)
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.You gotta brush it off hard.
Can it not just be the Chumley Warner collection?GeeDubs would.... personally i wouldn't do anything fan related that i would intend to release without gee dubs permission just look at the fan film that got made in Germany that never saw the light of day :(
CAnt see anything illegal with that.
any pics of an example painted? ::heretic::
Hang on, was Golden Demon award easier back in the 90's?
Hang on, was Golden Demon award easier back in the 90's?
There are some seriously crazy collectors out there !
Worse than me
One guy just won 2 townsfolk auctions, paying £55+ for one model, and £40 for the other,
sickness!
Ok so I tried some Pink !
I couldn't go further like all pink, he already looks batty!

I need a gun to protect my house
Chumley ,nice to finally see a painted Jan after all these years.
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.
I have pooped me pants
Ooh, they look pretty nice. I'd love to get hold of them as well. But unlike you I'm not going to go out of my way to get them. All of I've really got on my list are the Steam Tank variants, and the multi-part sisters of sigmar, which come of so rarely on ebay, and go for mental money
Proper Witch Hunters, so much better than the new finecast noble they made and called a 'witch hunter'.Actually that guy was deliberately designed as a Wtich Hunter, and I think he looks O.K., although he really should have a bit of armour.....
They have a very similar look to Wilhelm, wonder if he was part of the warband and was the only one to make it through.
Am I the only one that sees something wrong with the female figure in the front rank? :unsure:What's wrong? That she's flashing - sorta - or that you don't like her pose....?
Am I the only one that sees something wrong with the female figure in the front rank? :unsure:What's wrong? That she's flashing - sorta - or that you don't like her pose....?
Eh, probably some designer/sculptor screwed up. That model DEFINITELY has boobs.....Am I the only one that sees something wrong with the female figure in the front rank? :unsure:What's wrong? That she's flashing - sorta - or that you don't like her pose....?
I think the "lady" might doth protest too much with the blouse to the navel . . . her codpiece seems well-stuffed.
She's the head of the Sisters of Sigmar in Mordheim. "High Matriarch" I think is her title.Yeah, sounds about right for a Warhamme-ry religious title.
Has any1 got a spare Halfling, the female one with a barrel of ale under her arm?
if I get this one I will have a full collection, (apart from the unreleased Halfling captain )
Yeah. You must be one of the few Warhammer players looking at 10 witch elves for £35 thinking "mmm, bargain" :)
I tell ya mate some of the townsfolk and villager and halfling models go for silly money!
it's all about rarity
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...
Who is Bertha anyway? A model from the 'Sisters of Sigmar' warband?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. :-)
Always like your blue and purple combo would you mind if I seamlessly nicked it for a independent character ?
The rumours are true, I sold my baby boy to obtain the best cleric model GW ever made!
http://www.collecting-citadel-miniatures.com/wiki/index.php/File:CLE_03-10.jpg
Exactly: clerics=clerks. And as Americans cannot spell properly = klux.dems fighten werds ya'll
They come from the slums, sea dogs, brigands, cut throats , pick pockets, vagabonds, scum !
Coin and Ale , and they fight for any general.

To be used as 40 Marauders of CHaos,
saw that one go savage!
there were also another couple of stanks came up from another seller but then quickly disappeared, did you see them?
The listing mentioned the WD eavy metal for the original release does anyone know what issue they were in?
Cheers
Did anyone mention, the von zeppel didn't had a gun?
It was delivered with a wedge to fill the gap where the gun is positioned.
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
Sorry - Not True:
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.
I heard Deliverance had an extra large cannon gun?
Sorry - Not True:
It is true in the sense that what is known as the Von Zeppel tank does not have the main gun fitted.
I would one day like to make a Von Volley Zeppel COnquerer Sigmar Hammerer Deliverance Implacable Old Betty
wow very nice when did they make them? :::cheers:::I think they where supposed to be released in 2003 after empire in flames.
There were some Witchhunters that never got properly released, but I think they were early, before the eventual set.

They are rubbish, but you sure know how to polish up a turd. I assume the metal chastity belts are to keep them from procreating and creating any shite looking offspring. Love the war paint.
Who wouldn't want a metal cow head on a stick?
4 Stanks lined up !
Sweet, I picked one up on eBay this year for less than $20. I didn't even know it was rare. Thank you Mr. Chumley Warner, you have made my wife's day. :::cheers:::
I'm glad this mini exists. He's splendid! :::cheers:::
He is both evil and smartly dressed :mrgreen:
Perhaps the Witch Hunter was crashing some sort of Slaaneshi party?

Too many clothes.

If I see one assembled on e bay , I may buy it
The horses are so good from the buff wagon kits, I assume GW must be working on new knights as the Knight kit is unavailable from pretty much all the independent traders.
That looks spot on, I might have to nab that idea.
I just won the auction of the century
mate i had £1100 down
the seller and i conversed at length, and I am satisfied with his story about how he aquired the models,
trust me they are real :::cheers:::
all 11 of them :evil:
Only one man i have ever spoken with claims the Nuln SPearman existed , and years ago some1 offered another guy £1000 for him,
that is the myth lol
For sure, I have a pic of him on my desktop
OK so we going to play guessing games ....................
11 of them
You got them for around £20 each
Seller probably expected more.
On those facts I would guess Mordheim figures - maybe Averlanders, as I know you already have Kislevites and Ostlanders.
:engel:
Doesn't Rich know what they were - sounds like he was watching the same auction.
sorry bud I have to buy him also!
::heretic::
Yep I keep missing out on him , lol
He sells for about £30-60 due to rarety
edit: I think I identified the models you bought! let me guess: they are all holding swords (strangly enough) and have hoods on?

When Marienberg wants to press it's imperial power upon another town, they wend in the Lawman. For negotiating deals, trading slaves, trafficking dr ugs and selecting the finest women and wines, Heinz Grubler is the man.
edit: I think I identified the models you bought! let me guess: they are all holding swords (strangly enough) and have hoods on?

I cant say more yet
Or are they just more things you don't have but you suspect exist?
I remember an order of the Blazing Heart from the third edition army book.
did I mention I have the Battle Lord?
My collection is really taking shape,Spending 1 pound per model on 100 models or 100 pound on one model is per saldo the same amount.
the problem now is that the rare models I have left to find are f'ing expensive!
:eusa_wall: :eusa_wall:
'the' battle lord? is this the one you could never get?
Adding Gloss Varnish to Washes - a new trick I have experimented with,
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..
LOL people must hate me on here, I secured the only Empire Battle Lord on Planet Earth
Did you know Harv about Marauder making a set of Wizards?
LOL people must hate me on here, I secured the only Empire Battle Lord on Planet Earth
Having seen the sculpt up close now, you can have them all. Scarcity aside, thats pretty dire and dated sculpting too much so for my collection, even if was affordable. :/
the rarity appeals to me

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.
Your blog is fantastic! I love these old minis. I feel they have a hand-made beauty.
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.

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.
for us we included it with our home owners insurance. costs me an additional $10 a month..no big deal :::cheers:::Yeah, but if you saved all that money instead then by the end of the year you could buy three new boxes of plastic monkeyfaces instead, and isn't that a better investment than all this old metal rubbish that no-one cares about?

Ai for sure brother it's the most powerful hand gun
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...

GW and Marauder , 1985/7 , mostly now showing on CCM WIKI unreleased Empire Page.
Some really insane ones, like a cowboy Wizard.
There should also be a head variant (with closed mouth) that is the one used for the quest book and the game box:
Could you expand on that comment? Is not the painted one in the centre (metal Heroquest prototype) the same figure as the unpainted one on the right?
Quote from: Citadel CollectorCould you expand on that comment? Is not the painted one in the centre (metal Heroquest prototype) the same figure as the unpainted one on the right?
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.
great.. so now we have even 3 variants for this model!!! Look at his boots, they are different!!

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
It could be the key to unlocking the Nuln Spearman mystery ?

I was interested to see what sort of score I get for 35 hours work .
Probably 3/10 lol
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.

sometimes it is better to plan ahead before you spend money on anything. Especially now you have wive and child. They should be priority one before anything else.
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.
I love that keep. Can't wait to see what you do with them
Does any1 want to see KF on Luminark Horse?
That's what I did. I saved the Luminark Horses for my Reiksguard.Does any1 want to see KF on Luminark Horse?
That would work but personally I think he would look better on the horse ( General plastic box set) more dynamic and junk :::cheers:::
Pardon my ignorance, but why are they referred to as "Goldswords"?
Pardon my ignorance, but why are they referred to as "Goldswords"?
Old joke.
They came out the same time as the Archers which were £15
The Archer kit made 10 figures and had 90+ pieces.
The Greatswords also made 10 figures and had 60+ pieces and cost £25 hence the new name. :engel:
Best mini you ever made there, Chumley :)

I keep having the recurring dream.
The one where my Inner Circle Knights charge in to the front end of a horde of trolls.
Waking up in cold sweats... so... many... trolls.
Can you disclose WHERE you got it from?The seller swore me to secrecy ,
i'm gonna place it inside a vacuum chamber, sealed for eternity, with a solar powered audio device sat inside, playing a loop of iron maiden
The seller has asked that I do not publicly mention costs etc.
Has anyone got any spare Lances?
Also any spare Buff Wagon Steeds ?
Also any OOP 1987 Knights ?
The real old Knights I mean ?!
Do you mean the 1989 ones that went originally on the white unbarded horses?

Citadels second generation plastic horseSculpted to fit :? Right then. Fits like a glove in horses a..
Appeared some time in early 1992. Empire Knights were sculpted to fit this horse.
That would make an excellent Orlock!
I have seen 3 GW unreleased models that would make your eyes water ,
Empire ones,
can't share though , harsh , sworn to secrecy
for legal reasons I can't ever show images of them , not joking
You should see the box of them midaski's got! Though im very sure yours will see a lot more paint than his.
Haha , fancy selling me some?
I will paint a unit of 30 !
5*6 bus formation !
and field them
Cool setup! I love the two steam tanks deployed so they can only move towards each other!virtual pivots for the win :engel:
It is fun,Yeah Chumley, but how many of us have your massive Empire collection?! YOU should host this year's Eurobash; give people a tour of your displays!! :-D
it escalates, lol
It's no longer viable to take 50 Halberds , they get trampled , you need 80 min
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 could've sworn a GM still transfers ITP to any matching unit he joins?

Sheeet u is right, u have to take Kurt Hell for the Reiksguard ItoP buffSo basically I don't even get ITP from Special-choice Reiksguard with a TGM, I have to take the much less survivable, 170+ points Kurt Helborg?! This on top of Reiksguard being what, 27 pts/model and not even Inner Circle?!
BSB was out of range oopps
28 down , 2 to go !Why do you insist on using the Luminark horses, when back in the 80's all the Knights came with is the basic plastic barded warhorses we use today....?
Then I have to paint 21 LOL
Collected over 2014, costly also !
All Lumi horses matched with OOP 80's Knights metal,,,
:biggriin:
I think Luminark horses are good but not amazing. The poses are too similar, like they're doing dressage.
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.Q. WTF are 'High Helms'?! I thought the 'High Helm' is the champion of a HE Silver Helms unit...?
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.

I love the Lumi horses ,I'm not saying it's ugly, I just question the unnecessary, I.M.O, expense; you already have just about every Empire model ever released - why over-complicate things?
it's a project combining the old and the new.
- why over-complicate things?
I'm just going to quit while I'm ahead..... *facepalm*

Every Empire general needs to be able to field any combination of massed troops, whether that be 200 spearmen , or 50 Xbows, 100 Knights or 18 DG Knights, they must be ready and painted !"You're mad, my Lord!"

I have wall cabinets with 900 metal men in,
then a big glass cab , floor standing, with my serious kit in,
5 stanks, 70 cavalry etc
lol
Geez, where do you guys put all of your stuff? Surely all you have is Empire?
I have a dream to get me a sturdy steel safe, where I could safely store all my figs and boxes.
For sure man , all good, 30 is good, but 6 cannons, that is nice lol
I have 110 pikes (waiting to be painted and some more pikes needed), I've seen some historical gamers using 100+ pike blocks, a glorious sight to behold!That would be freakin' cool to see!! What battles would you re-fight? Thirty Years War? War of the Spanish Succession?
Now that to me looks like how the Empire Knights should look :wink:Agreed
Sorry for this interlude,
Strange one I know!
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 !
To a high standard of course
PM me !
We try. Sadly we lost lots of elms to "Dutch Elm Disease" - where are we meant to hang anyone now? - and now we have "Ash Dieback Disease".That "hang anyone" comment was pretty gross, I.M.O, especially considering I'm Irish. Two words, Oliver. Cromwell!! #disgusted :icon_sad: :icon_sad: :icon_sad: :icon_sad:
Unlike a lot of the UK I am pro-Europe but please keep your tree-slaying diseases to yourselves, guys! :icon_cry:
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.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.
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.
No I don't imagine a pine would do very well at all.Let me guess; only hardwoods would work for a gallows, and pine is a soft wood?
Unless I miss understood him Shadespyre was talking about hanging someone from a tree, not using the wood for a gallows...
@zak - how do you have a forest? and how exactly would you have one that WASN'T tree laden??? :)
ALso I have painted a GW resin sculpt , state trooper, from the 7th edition design studio.. Unreleased, didn't make the state trooper plastic final sprue designs...Why can't you show it publicly?! Will you get somebody fired?
Problem is I can't show it publicly , those were the terms of my purchase...

Gamezone makes a standard bearer with Morian helmet that would fit right in. Can't think of an officer or musician. Of course Shieldwolf has an entire army of Estalions going to kickstarter next month and Warlord has some coming out soon from the old Arsenal line.What's the "old Arsenal line"?! #confused

GW has the Dogs of War, Lustrian pikemen command ( forgot their names) but im staring at mine and they do look good
It's a reflection , I glossed the armour and it's reflecting the purple cloth :biggriin:that's what I was thinking :::cheers:::
This is one of the specials GW did ,Yeah, that's why I asked about the term 'Von Zeppel' class name; I know the standard "main cannon and steam gun" version is known as a Conqueror class, but not the other classes that were converted by GW at one time or another...... :-)
I have all of them now, apart from the Volley Gun one
:::cheers:::

Looks great! Needs some gap-filling though...Speaking of which, do you guys prefer 'green stuff'(or a non GW equivalent), gray or otherwise plain expoy putty or something else altogether?
I think there was a ''venerable'' alsoFound some variant names here:
http://whfb.lexicanum.com/wiki/Steam_Tank (http://whfb.lexicanum.com/wiki/Steam_Tank)
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.... :)
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

I'm in Dublin , about to get Ferry home,The heck?! When were you in Dublin?! WHY were you in Dublin!?! If I'd known, I would've bought you lunch and we could've had a natter over old Empire models. Would've been interesting for me considering I only started collecting shortly after the 6th Edition army book came out!! :-)

Renata - Death on the Reik insert part 2.
EBay usually sells for £100+
ALso Lady Mcdeath , if you ever find one, sells for £100+
I'm using a 5*2 formation to roll through High Elves!Why not play them 6 x 2? Not enough points?
After I spend 3 turns softening up their elite troops with Cannons though !
I only have 10Maybe get one more box from a discount site? Then you'd be able to have up to 12.....
Why is 6*2 of merit?I figured 6*2 is Horde formation for Demigryphs, so they'll all be able to attack by the time they reach combat....?
That would only work if he had three or more ranks. Thus, 18 or more. Kinda crazy.Sorry - I'm tired today. When I'm tired, I get stupid.... :icon_redface: :icon_redface:

Man, this thread's a thing of beauty. I wish I had like half your connections for obtaining unreleased models, there's a couple I'd love to own!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.
I think £16 in the end,
It has the same slotta tab style as the legendary Nuln Spearman image, seriously , it's mega rare

Dunno why lol,I would agree in the case of the naked Celtic tribesman-like figure. I also just won on eBay a topless female Chaos sorceress the seller is claiming was dubbed 'Samantha Phox' by GW!! L.OL!! :-D

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.

Flexible resin chains with a wire core, brilliant idea.

Were there any other miniatures in the Warhammer Online range or was it just a one off?
So you don't like my multi coloured Goblin Night train?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?
Slash would be upset
I haven't read any fluff but I thought the Night Goblins form a multi coloured train , 5 wide , and listen to Night Train by G n RNope!! I'm terribly sorry, but unless my fluff knowledge is TOTALLY wrong, my last post is how things would really work in a "real" tribe......
When I read in the rules you can take 12 Spear Chukkas in a 3K army I almost wet myself with evil laughter !And 420 points is what, less than 30 Black Orcs?
It's only 420 points, for 12 LOL

Better hold fire on the army, WFB is dead to be replaced with age of sigmar game out in july. All old models are going to be obsolete and sold off.
We'll see, only a month to go
Maybe, if you can afford to, give the Big Boss a Ward save? Or maybe the Other Trickster's Shard?
13 points gets you Strength 4 on the charge with spears....
Plus spiders poisoning !
I think there is merit in these units ! I'm adding a Goblin Big Boss on spider into the unit, to raise the LD higher, and add to attacks, for 56 pts..
Any comments?
Dang , I originally ruled out adding any spider riders !!
Then I saw on CMON , some amazingly painted ones, and was inspired.. Here are my front rank...

Chumley look at GW website , CHumley still very very annoyed,I say they need ot bring back the Dogs of War and unleash them! Now!
all Chumley can see is horrible Space Marines with Angelic garb , and moronic poses ,
i honestly think GW is going the same way that the world is right now,
teetering on global refugee crisis, financial crash and possible world war !
I am proud to say i ahve not spent £1 on AOS,I hear ya. I'm still going to give the rules a go, but those new fanatsy space marines are total crud, aesthetic wise and cost wise, total crud. Oh, did I say that twice? Here, one more time, total crud. Can't I get away with saying that here? Hope so. Oh heck, one more time, total crud.
and in fact it has strengthened my 8th edition resolve.
We played 3.5K O&G vs Chaos , and my Gobbos won ,
I ahve now purchased 4 more Chariots , metal 1980's and 20 metal black orcs !!
HA!!
Stick that up your Age of Bummar
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.
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
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.
This time, GW is f***ing you.Nope, won't let 'em, not buying their crud. The Stormcrud dudes look horrible to me, and cost too much. They can keep 'em, and sell them to other's, not me.
I'm not convinced, nor am I relying on them to do such.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 think you are right
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.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.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. Sorry to say... :icon_neutral:
Small update , i have secured 40 Metal Black Orcs , i think they are the 2007 ones, heavy armoured , helmets etc,Are ya painting them to sell or keep for yourself :icon_question:
It's gonna be a massive project, any comments regarding paint scheme ?
CMON and Google Images have only people who have gone for either metal, brass , gold or red armour ,
I was thinking something crazy , like white armour , or cream , with silver scratching indents, then red skin , LOL
help me before i waste £100 worth of models !!
Sheet sorry all , no time recently,
I need to post some pics ,
I have 12 orc spear chukkas done now lol
plus 3 mangller squigs

And I -hope- he is right.
It's horrendous, they have lumped all the armies together into factions like ''forces for destruction ''
it's like someone is having a laugh
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.It's horrendous, they have lumped all the armies together into factions like ''forces for destruction ''
it's like someone is having a laugh
not to be tooo negative but when AoS fails this could be the end of fantasy ( maybe GW) will sale the rights to another company to carry on with 9th edition.
Looking good. Curious: did you do any converting or are these the black orc models as they come in the box?

I'm using a combination of the plastic kits and the metal oop ones,
no conversions
Regarding the khorne travers, do they actually rank up? I see gaps but is that because they CANT rank or they just got shifted around on the tray. I sold mine because I didn't think I could rank em.

Even painting it is taking hours, required 3 layers of a special £65 / 2L tub, of Swedens latest log cabin preservation
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 love how I'm there managing to paint one model in a week and feeling dead proud of myself...
And then Chumley just strolls in and drops a full O&G army down representing probably the same amount of models that I've painted in my entire life like it aint no thang!

I wonder if anyone has thought to simply ask him. I've seen him occasionally post in forums & FB groups, and it sounds like he attends various gaming events in the UK.
Those were some of the first models that I've ever laid my eyes upon... :Ohmy:And paintbrush :happy:

you need to paint three units of 100 gobo's ..that was my goal at one point :)
It's not GW, but you need one of these.

I picked up your Emperial Noble, he looks wonderful. I want those Halbards, but I really shouldn't.
Sorry bud a German guy took them!
Let me get this straight: You are selling classic old-school metal Empire miniatures like Reiksguard knights etc. to buy plastic AOS Chaos miniatures? That is heresy³.
Comments please...when i paint my models I more often then not use the same colour palet.
I am committing to a unit of at least 20 in this scheme potentially,
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.
He has done some dragon ogres a few pages ago.
I have to say though, I don't like them very much. Sorry chumley! The chaos warriors are lovely though.
The marauders look fantastic! How did you do the bluish skin on the guy in the middle?
Front rank right hand side of image, the two guys, note I had to mod their right arms, to make them fit in line,
I hacked them off and re fixed the arms facing down , which I think worked well,
had to use green stuff on 4 of these
If you're willing to spend I think mierce was doing a nice one. All their stuff has weird names though, probably easiest to Google mierce chimera than search through their sight
Guy and Gals, i wanna get some plastic Ogre Bulls, the basic ones with Hand weapons,
swap for painted or unpainted Empire, or cash !
Help , i'm going for a sick sick Horde, 30 Bulls, 5*6 , chaos lol, Khorne, twin hand weapons, 5 attacks front rank,
I recon it gives me 42 attacks, 6 stomps, and if i charge, it would be something silly like 30 impact hits PFFFFFFFF !!!

Why 30 impact hits ? Only the front row does them. Strength is augmented by back ranks though.
I still haven't worked out what AOS is all about ?!
What are the Sigmarines?
Angels or something , booo, what does it mean, who wants to use Angels unless they are playing My Little Pony , ffs
The dilemma !
£100 per Chimera

I'm gonna drop the model onto a Chaos Disc , just waiting for a cheap badly painted one off e bay , which I will strip with acid, then re paint ,
Gotta go with the 8th edition Lord on Disc build I worked out ! It's filthy wrong !!!
Chaos Lord: Disc = 3 St 4 Attacks. MO Tz = 6+ WARD. Talisman of Preservation = 4+ Ward (Total Ward = 3+) Cr Command = Stubborn. GW = +2 St .. 3rd eye of Tzeentch = re roll ward saves of 1 Ch Arm and Disc = 3+.
LOL
348 Points !!!
Dont u think he looks ripe to be mounted on a chaos disc?
The weapon , the smirk , lol

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
185 sea guard ? or total high elves to paint?
Your take on HE's is stunning. Those Nagarythes look dope as hell. :happy:
Ah OK I haven't read any fluff lol
My only mistake was that I paid 50 pts for a magic ward on the Prince....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.....
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 !!!
I didn't take pics!! SORRY
It was late , i'm running on 5 hrs a night sleep at the mo
3 year old boy and a new boy popping out in January !
:::cheers:::
yeah no more split attack on rider or monster ,,,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....
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
Daaaang, sounds like a nasty fight. Those Seaguard boys are really scary! :ph34r:Has everything been powered-up for 9th Age, or were Seaguard a bit OP anyway? I would have thought they'd be squashed by an equal-sized mob of Boyz or Savage Boyz....

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...

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:

Generally fighting in one extra rank, using spears. One extra rank in addition to one extra rank, from fighting with said spears.

@WhiteKnight: How much for a regiment of 20+ of your metal foot Reiksguard?
Being a pessimist I was expecting a mediocre to good set of models , I was pleasantly surprised , they look like fpa knights should look , eg, that armour is weighing tgem down , ,,, weapon options awesome , sculpts clean , , heads great , everything good
You ought to buy the Mounted Knights - they're good too. :biggriin:

It's hard to find , so i never really considered it much , or i thought it would be too hard....
Now that i have found it, it enhances the contrast and brightness of the models by 100% +
everything else in my cabinet looks dull , totally dull, even my best works !
:eusa_wall:

Not being funny but this takes 4 hours per model , easily , even with speed styles,I know little of what you write. :icon_lol:
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

I haven't played empire yet in 9th age , I think they will be invincible!!!!I SOOOO need to go download the T9A rules, AND the Empire and Orc books!!
I'm instead embarking on collecting and painting armies,
Don't get me wrong, much of the new stuff is amazing, especially the Chaos ...
I just don't like the Angelic Storm Cast Eternal Sigmarine Captain Aquafresh and his Tooth brish Crossbowmen faction , :)
Oh yeah, I understand what you guys mean but it just seems silly to focus on one faction's flaws when there's so many other great armies to look at.Like the Free Peoples? Oh right, there aren't any new figures for them yet.
Like the Free Peoples? Oh right, there aren't any new figures for them yet.The warrior priest from the Silver Tower doesn't count?
Considering their current profits I think that team got a raise. :-D
One figure does not a collection of new figures make.QuoteLike the Free Peoples? Oh right, there aren't any new figures for them yet.The warrior priest from the Silver Tower doesn't count?
Anyway, mixed blessing. We'll get something new eventually but when we do it'll probably replace the current range so at least there's time for people to get their Empire models.True.
And where was this published? Not that such a topic fits this thread.
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
One figure does not a collection of new figures make.
I am interested if there is a like for like comparison of aos vs 8 the ed whfb profits ,,,,
I don't care how much profit they are making selling crud figures, especially when their prices are worse than buying goldswords.Nor should you, it's your hobby, time and money. You should spend it on what you enjoy. :smile2:
Somebody recently pointed out they aren't even selling 28mm anymore. Heroic 28mm crud no, it's like they are 40mm!
8th just had too much of a gauntlet for a entry barrier.
Afternoon Mr Warner. Is that some of your on e-bay already ? Sorry no spare money, need no boiler, been without heat and hot water for nearly a month. Do wish I had a collection like that.
I just want Warhammer classic back ...keep AOS but allow players to go back in time to a simpler time of war and destruction. Castles and mushrooms, towers, and crazy wizards. Stupid Sigmar ruined the world :dry:Then make it your preferred fantasy world and just do it!
That's what I'm doing with the Von Trinkenessen Chronicles, even at times going back to Pre Hammer.::heretic:: ::heretic:: ::heretic::.
Chumley has been quiet...
I was thinking , my Empire work has been disparate , lots of units, different colours.. But i loved most my Purple Greatswords unit...
So now i will create a whole army of purple
what faction is that?

Guys this was just for fun, i had the stank pieces sat in my drawer, and wanted to see what fun I could have!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
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.

The painting skill on display here is extraordinary, but... there's just something disturbingly odd about that combination of colours.:icon_lol: :::cheers:::

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.

Guys , i cant get my head around GW using plastic/resin for all their models, i hate it.
It's like expensive baby toys, plastic rubbish.
Metal only for me...
I'm using companies like Black Tree Design now .
Pewter is the best !
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?
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/
Like, for reals? That sound awesome! :Ohmy:

Thanks. And sorry to learn that you sold your collection.

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.
I have now my Empire, Wood Elves, and High Elves, everything else is sold
Like, for reals? That sound awesome! :Ohmy:
YES seriously , there are OOPS Metal models out there that you won't find any evidence of online.
I had at one stage an Empire State Troop, which was modelled for the plastic kit launch in 6th edition. But never made the cut.
I was sold it on the basis of not beenn able to photograph it, as it was from an insider/employee.....
http://www.collecting-citadel-miniatures.com/wiki/index.php/File:Unreleased_-_Empire_Flagellant_banner.jpg
2011 it was a Friday night and i had only really just joined the forum a few months before,
I recall seeing the ebay UK listing , and drank a bottle of red wine, and in the closing bids I got outbid at £82!!
No one has ever seen or heard of this model since,
Just checked gw website wtf , some elf carrying an octopus ?????? What madness have they allowed ???
Do them in pewter gw , and stop this madness
http://www.collecting-citadel-miniatures.com/wiki/index.php/Empire_-_UnreleasedSeeing these was fun! :icon_biggrin: :::cheers:::
Woah. That could keep me from having one included in an army at that price. Yuck.Do them in pewter gw , and stop this madnessIts the prices that are mad, 180$ for one flying wet wizard!
Looks sus... but I dont 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?
Sea Elves, nice concept, so what the hell are those Reavers?!?! Maraiders with Blue Skin, plus some guy on a giant Sea Horse, sheesh , get me in a time machine, back to 1980, we can buy the Heman set of plastic toys and play AOS properly !

Black tree designs , metal , £2 ish each in sale , old heart breaker hhg range , some old ties to citadel , lovely models
Looks like the ex wifes wedding party! Fabulous 😺
Really nice models.
Swung by GW store in town today, had a quick chat with the manager, said i was wounded when GW deparrted from WHFB, and i simply don't understand the new Heman AOS models and game,
He conceded similar feelings and admitted he was mosty playing 8th edition using 15K pts of Vampires LOL
You just wouldnt want to meet these guys
Always nice to see the good, ol' Konrad. Shame about this whole "Runefang to the head" buisness, but that's what you get when playing for high stakes.
Stakes. Get it? Because he's a vampire. Ok, ok. I'm sorry... :icon_redface:

I check in on this thread now and then, as always I am amazed by the speed of which you get things done and the quality is still ace.

Note the weapon swaps
Love these guys👆
Yep , my perfect realisation of Warhammer would be a gritty , grim , 18 rated , serious wargame.

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.
Revelations , recently decided , how did I ever think plastic or resin constituted a miniature , metal only , all else is not even classed as a miniature, no arguments
Seems like they are very underrated by collectors. I think they are some of the nicer 5th edition time period models get ever made. Best marauder models hands down.
I had mercifully forgotten about that band.
Thanks Zak ......thank you very much.....😺
Metal !!
Got one last day !!!

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.
Guys and Gals , it's been some months now since AOS was launched by GW.
I threw an egg at the local GW store, and have yet to understand what Sig Marines are suppoosed to be.
The fact that it's all plastic now is even worse.
Generally i have nothing but hatred left for GW, it can burn

very beautiful :::cheers:::
Ok one rank of Iron Breakers done!
Loving it. Allmetal of course. Metal shields also.
Iron Breakers 3 ranks , hard mofosThose 6th edition iron breakers are indeed very had to rank up.
Great stuff, as usual!
I'm still amazed how fast you can pop out miniatures!
Shit dude, if i had known i would have purchased 4 at least ,
i spent £35 on 4 Marauder OOP Griffs instead , argg
Mate i haven't 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,
The journey is taking me in new directions:Nice figure, wonderful painting! :icon_biggrin: :icon_cool: :eusa_clap: :::cheers:::

Guys and gals, i bought this on e bay from an Italian seller, because it looked cool, and wasn't listed on CCM WIKI's unreleased Wood Elf pages...
I can't find any reference to this model anywhere, but it looks legit..
Any comments?

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.
Steve Buddle
I don't mind the figure and of course great paint job, my favorite wood elf models are the earlier metal waywatchers
LOL
mine had a rod on one foot to embed in a base,
do you think mine is just the CMON one?

Looking forward to the banners! These are the best longbeard models hands down, even though I love the older sculpts too :happy:.
Well, and the juggernaut up above is plastic. :icon_wink: :icon_lol:
Also perfect as Blood Knight Alternatives for VC armies!!!
Armor wearing with wooden stakes and ... a cigar?
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?
Resin???
:ph34r:
It's a nice heroic horse for sure. Has an oldschool vibe into it.
Is the Dwarf king from Black Tree (Harlequin)?

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,
Go to imgur. Photobucket sucks.

So i've decided that warhammer fb has been played wrong , the movement trays should have a 2mm gap between 20mm bases, so as to avoid the pain of ranking up nice metal sculpts, lol
ive commissioned 20 sets of 20*20mm 5*4 orientation laser cut mdf trays, with 2 mm lips between every base,
it's the new next level shizzle
pics soon
I got 20 apparently rare OOP GW metal comet shields,
never knew they existed

I have a few of those.
Cant recall what they came with though.
You will probably struggle with the size as most weapons will be standard rather than heroic.
TAG (The Assault Group) do various sorts of Polearm/Poleaxe/Bardiche/Halberd etc
Example:
https://theassaultgroup.co.uk/product/halbard-x-10/
(https://theassaultgroupcou932e2.zapwp.com/q:maximum/retina:false/webp:false/w:1920/url:https://theassaultgroup.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/d_1166.jpg)
I suspect you will have to use other weapon arms and drill out the hand to fit a new weapon.
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.
Is that a Dwarf Slayer head in the front rank?The one with the big shaggy hairdo and beard? Yeah, probably...
Have you spotted my new custom MDF trays?Homemade?
2mm spacing , 20mm bases, much better than trying to shoe horn in a whole unit with no gaps!
Guys , has anyone got any Empire Metal Artillery Crew spare?
The ones holding the plunger or the pole etc, or even the standard pole bearers etc.
Happy to send you in exchange some painted models.

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:https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/m.html?item=353055509729&hash=item5233bf8ce1%3Ag%3AxUoAAOSwv%7EpenF8d&_ssn=bridgend_steve&_sop=16I think I paid mine around 1000 pounds. To be honest, I don't think the model is worth this amount of money :( Resulting paint job at the center of the picture. He's half hidden by his shield!

Mate i simply can't believe you spent this and then cut the slotta TAB off! :eusa_wall: :biggriin:

Rading the comments, it seems that Wargames Foundry sent it as a bonus model :)
Can you see what i modified?You sculpted some extra puff and slash on his left leg?

Somebody else must have Chumley's username and password ... those look like plastic. Chumley never does plastic.
Oh, Chumley, why would you do this to me. I'd considered picking these up for Freeguild conversions in AOS, but written the idea off as I didn't think they could be made to look good... and you've gone and made them look damn good :closed-eyes:
Alex
Well imagine how much better figure you'd have if ya bought plastic. :icon_wink:
glad to see you come around and heading into the warm embrace of plastic. It's pretty amazing to see how much you've accomplished shackled to an irrational choice of material. But, soon your creativity will know no more bounds. :-PThe only thing I'm thinking of is that the world is coming to an end now. Chumley is going plastic...

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.Please send me the link to the seller, the auction, or whatever? You can PM it here, or I can PM you my email...
The Bishop is from Last Sword Minis.... They have a few models i saw in metal, but most are plastic evil.

Fixated on perfecting my copy of the unreleased GW Spearman, i stripped off my prior green attempts, and re-sculpted the leg plates and mid area plus cod piece. Just waiting for a delivery of the correct arms now.Arms? I sent legs! :icon_wink: :icon_lol:

I got some plastruct styrene rods a few weeks ago that are actually hexagonal in cross section, to match the new state troops polearms and standards...@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.
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:

@NK - You mean to get hold of some of the hexagonal rods?Please ask him to contact me, if you can manage it. He seems to have controlled what Q.'s can be sent; or perhaps that's something eBay have done recently..
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?
Took 5 plastic GW spears, added metal shields from grimforge, 2 metal heads from Black Chapel, and metal magnetic steel base caps , to stick to the magnetic cubes embedded in the tray design. Gonna do 20 lead by my unreleased spear copy.Who're Grimforge and Black Chapel...? :-?

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:
I firmly believe in ceremony or ritual to mark a new beginning.Theres a guy in my suburb who revs his bike engine at 3 in the morning I nominate
I will write to GW and propose a human sacrifice .
I appreciate every member here will back me
Sending to uk.custserv@gwplc.com
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

So far so good,Failing that. If we build a giant, wooden rabbit....
We must not let GW mess this up,
I suggest perhaps we get 1000 people from this forum , to march on their HQ , clad in plate armour
:icon_lol: And hope they don't fart in our general direction. :icon_wink:My cat has been suffering from chronic flatulence for some time now. She's also taken to being carried like a space marine rocket launcher. I can march up to the GW head office with her in the 'gas-zooka' pose and demand a return to the old world she'll let loose like papa Nurgle
That looks great!
Where'd the lion head and shield come from?
Guys i really want to experience what it is like to paint every chapter. So i'm doing it, and selling each model, but keeping the pics.Do you mean every founding chapter? Because there are an awful many of chapters out beyond those.
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/324785209062
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.That looks great!I can only say if you put the first bid on my Blood Angel lol

Thx man , 4am sunday start, listening to a podcast in the background, on the Phenomena (UFO's ILF's, Poltergeists, Cryptids, etc etc).
Theres some incredible stuff going on in East Yorkshire, our very own UK Skinwalker ranch
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBg4xzFar583zoFZ_ReiQTg/videos
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
thanks bro :::cheers:::
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
Guys , is Mr Whiteknight still working?
Ive seen his Bear Knight Halberds , and want to paint them asap, lol.
Guys it's rare , not like Nuln Spearman rare, but rare enough to be owned by literally only one other person on this forum, and i have it in my hand
The world is a different place with 3D printing of miniatures.
Yep I have those!
Guys i'm alive still.
My Dad has cancer and dementia , and with 2 young boys, life is hectic,
I have been 3D printing for months now, everything from Empire to Imperial Guard.
What news of the Old World? I hear tell 25mm square bases for infantry?!
When is the release date , and also please tell me it's back to proper gaming and none of this airy fairy , spirits from another realm AOS nonsense?
Good for you mate, we live in an increasingly empathy lacking culture, where altruism is rare.
That's so true!
Great work with the collection and the 3D printing!
