damn, everyone is giving me crap about the green bases.  :icon_sad: :icon_lol:

I did the demis with a little brown tan. does that look better?

I like the green because it matches the mats we play on. the grey or brown rockish bases look kinda stupid to me on a green mat.

this is the first army ive painted in 15 years, the green was what everybody did back then,

I've fielded Greatswords against Ogres. They died in droves.

Not to rain on your parade, but your opponent doesn't sound like the best general, especially considering you had no/little magic and had your wizard and 40 swordsmen (that's quite alot of points there) running of the table on turn 1.

Might I ask what you both had in your armylists?

interesting, greatswords are the only units I can get to do anything in most games.

I had a unit of 40 haberds, 10 hand gunners, 10 crossbows, 20 free company and 10 archers. they were killed in droves while the greatswords hit the flanks.

my buddy has been playing for over 20 years.

The Electors' Forum / How to beat ogres Pt2
« on: April 24, 2012, 08:26:22 PM »
I had another post up asking how to beat ogres in 2500 pts.

I was having a hard time doing anything playing ogres. I was 0-4 playing them until last weekend.

The Demi chicks were great I had a unit of 4 that took out 6 regular ogres.

But the main key for victory was having 2 unit of 30 great swords, with a priest in each unit. They crushed everything, took out a whole unit of leadbelchers, and one other things.

I had very little magic, first turn my wizard was in a unit of 40 swordsmen and they ran off the table.

Just thought I'd share that.

I disagree on the base be 50%. respectfully.

Maybe 25% 9 times out of 10 your eyes go to the figure, not the base.

With that said, The base is fixed.

Ill post pix of it friday. my brother has a pro setup at his house.

Ill post the whole army. It'll probably be for sale :-( wife is pregnant

This thread makes me sad. I knew there'd be more and more use of conga lines because of the special rules that are now granted to the detachments. Sure it is legal. It doesn't make it right.

I don't understand these post.

If something is legal and helps you,  why wouldn't you use it?

That's a really cool model.

Yellow is always tricky. Every yellow I've bought is very runny.

looks great.

the only thing I would have done different is paint the feathers on his hat red. they seem to match the wings a little to much on the banner. IMO.

but its still a very nice paint job.

nice!
for me, an acheivement is to actually get finished at least 10 of the unit to a tabletop standard, but you seem  to have more than 20!

well done! :biggriin:

Yeah, I paint really fast. In about 2 months in my spare time ( wife, 2 year old, work) I've painted 120 guys. I painted 40 swordsmen in 2 days. But it's not perfect. I need to slow down, its sometimes painful. But it looks so good when finished, even if it's not perfect.

Didn't really go for any province. Just did my own thing.

I will post the rest of the army, it's almost done. For now, or until the new book comes out.

Thanks guys.

What do u think about the steam tank? More knights?

Edit. I also have a engineer. I def need a wizard of some kind. Need to read the book a more on them...
