I absolutely love your army, it has been an inspiration.

The banner you did has motivated me to finish my Swordsmen & standard bearer.

I have included dwaves & halflings in my Stirland Militia and was quite pleased with them until I saw yours

Oh well back to the drawing board

No pics today, but I almost finished the remaining knights & archers last night. They should be done tonight, but that probably means skipping the game night at the local store, so no practice game.

The tournament organizer posted a list of armies. Looks like I'm the only Empire player. There are 8 Daemon players and 6 VC.

Out of how many players?

warhammerlord_soth · « **Reply #79 on:** July 09, 2008, 01:29:48 PM »

15 probably...

ZeroTwentythree · « **Reply #80 on:** July 09, 2008, 01:55:34 PM »

Hah. No, it's a decent sized event, around 50.

The other big players are 6 dwarves and 5 HE.

Unpopular lists are Empire, OK & DoW with 1 each. Most of the rest are 2 or 3. I think 4 lizards. I'll have to go back and look...

Not a fan of the plastic Pistoliers, but very good painting as usual. Keep up the good work. Good luck in the GT.

That's new!!Well, for me at least.
Lovely painting zerotwentythree, I really like the pistolier on the far right.

Probably because of his superior uniform colours, but hey..

I'm not just saying that to piss off reiklanders or anything.. ~~especially not shadowlord~~

The last nine archers are finished. Well, not quite, I still need to add a few details to the bases. These are Front Rank archers, and are also part of the Burgundian army I need to finish in another two weeks for a Warhammer Ancients tournament. (Busy Warhammer Summer!)

Also finished six more knights, one of which (the one without a crest, on the champion horse) will be acting as a mounted warrior priest until I get a suitable model.

I was paranoid about the clearcoat after having issues the last time, so I think I applied it a little to heavy on these figures, giving them a very slight gloss even though its matte finish.

So that's it for the figures I need for the GT, about a day to spare, which I will enjoy relaxing with a nice dinner with my girlfriend before heading out for a WFB weekend.

Good luck at the tournament, and let us know how things go.

Two thumbs up all the way, may the dice roll in your favor. steveb

I really am loving that blue on the knights, it's my type of colour.
Good luck in the tournament.

I have posted also some time ago some knights of Mannan but they are not match fore you painting quality!!
Superb

ZeroTwentythree · « **Reply #89 on:** July 10, 2008, 07:13:23 PM »

Thanks all!

I'll need all the luck I can get. I think I've been playing solidly, but I've been blowing almost every LD test I've had to make, rolling 11 or 12 pretty consistently.

I got news of the tiered set up for the first few games of the GT. The division I'm in will feature...

2 HoC
1 BoC
3 DW
1 HE
1 EM (me)
1 OK
2 OG
2 DE
1 DoW

The other divisions are...

Band 1
3 WE
3 VC
5 DC
3 LM
1 HE
1 BR
1 HoC
1 SK

Band 2
1 VC
1 DC
1 BR
4 DW
2 LM
2 TK
3 HE
1 SK
1 OG
1 HoC

So it looks like I'll have some good games for the first few rounds before potentially being thrown to the wolves. Dire wolves. Or Fleshounds.

I'm bringing a camera and will try to post battle reports in the appropriate section after the weekend.

I'm wondering if there is any rhyme or reason as to why they set those up the way they did?

Looking good! Enjoy this day and kick some chaos ass!

I'm wondering if there is any rhyme or reason as to why they set those up the way they did?

My understanding is that the individual lists were rated by 7 different judges from different regions (presumably the areas from which the tournament draws - I believe someone in our area was asked for a bit of input) based on composition, and then split up into the three tiers. It's a two day event, and those tiers are only for the first few games.

I'm assuming that it's intended to give less competitive armies a chance to win a game or two before facing the more competitive armies. Otherwise I suppose it may work out the other way around. For example, at other tournaments I've lost my first game against a strong opponent and then crushed my remaining opponents as I've been placed in a "losers bracket."

At the end of the day, it will all come down to wins, losses, sportsmanship and painting, and anyone who's going to win is going to face some difficult match-ups. It should be fun!

I survived the GT intact. It was a great time. Someone asked about a pic of the whole army, here it is between games (not the best photo, sorry):

After I get some time, I'll post some pics of some of the other armies and some battle reports and general rambling in the Elector's Lounge. Er... Elector's Forum.

Kriegspiel · « **Reply #94 on:** July 14, 2008, 06:49:22 PM »

Oh My Gosh !

That is a truly awesome army - wont come round and paint mine would you ?

Veldemere · « **Reply #95 on:** July 14, 2008, 06:56:50 PM »

You are going to a tournament without the seemingly requisite 2 stank popemobile combo that seems to be all prevalent at the moment. I salute you!

Soju · « **Reply #96 on:** July 14, 2008, 11:04:48 PM »

You are so going to kick butt bro. Like, as soon as you prop an army like that on table, other players will die at the sheer awesomeness of this army.

NDC-OSPREY · « **Reply #97 on:** July 15, 2008, 08:33:23 AM »

Amazing! I love your army, especially the knights. If the dice roll by the rule of the best painted army then you should be fine.

ZeroTwentythree · « **Reply #98 on:** July 22, 2008, 03:12:35 PM »

I'm in the process of finishing my army for a WAB tournament at Historicon (medieval division) and thought I'd post a couple of progress pics. I plan on using these in my Marienburg army as well as the historical Burgundian Ordonnance.

They should tie in with the Crisis in Marienburg campaign list, since we can take core pike.

In the background, you can see my Empire ogres, which I've pulled out so I can also (finally) finish them for the campaign list as well.

And some archers, almost done. I've already been using some of my completed Burgundian archers as detachments for my WFB army.

Love those pikemen -- where are they from?
