I love the color of Ludwigs horses armor.

ninerfan · « **Reply #52 on:** May 18, 2009, 05:35:47 PM »

Thanks - it's Ultramarines Blue on white undercoat (and of course washed with Delvan mud as everything in the army is)

YAY!!!!!! - The conversion comp is over!! (congratulations Steveb

)

I'm glad I can actually post my entry here now - It's my fist real major conversion so I'm proud

Lots of little alterations to one of the old dragon minis (repositioning hands, wings, tail & a few other things). Karl himself is constructed from the Mounted General OTE (which I cut in half & added the sash around the waist to make him taller) & Empire, Bretonnian, & even Space Wolf bits.

And some painted versions - They always look better painted (you can also see the tail better here)

I don´t even thought that guy is yours!
Very good job, like the conversion!!

steveb · « **Reply #55 on:** May 20, 2009, 02:01:48 PM »

excellent, you must try to do more major conversions. You will only get better and this is one heck of a starting point. Look forward to seeing much more. steveb

I soooo want that General figure.

fbjorn · « **Reply #57 on:** May 20, 2009, 02:32:23 PM »

A very impressive Emperor.

Where does his head come from ?

I don't particularly like the old dragon, but Karl looks really good.

ninerfan · « **Reply #59 on:** May 20, 2009, 06:50:11 PM »

Thanks for all the good feedback guys.

Steveb - Coming from the Conversion Comp winner,that's a big compliment. Thanks.

On the to-do list includes trying to create 2 plastic griffins (1 for war alter & 1 as a mount) - I'm thinking of using the lions from the High Elf Chariot but am stumped on how to get the eagles

- Anyone know where I can get some good plastic ones?

fbjorn - The head is from the Brettonian Knights kit. I think it gives a really regal look (I really aren't a fan of the feathered head KF mini)

Warlord - yep the new minis are definately better, but you work with what you've got. I scored the dragon in a huge trade I did for Forthelady - I think it turned out pretty good.

Nice job! I like the color of the wings, soft blue. Let me guess karls arm, the one that is pointing and that has the glove on is the space wolfs part.

Nope my friend - close though.

The pointing arm is actually from the General OTE kit - The lance arm - I trimmed it up to remove all of the lance front & back and the greenstuffed the pointing finger on.
The other arm is the shouldered pistol arm from the same kit - i trimmed of the hand and to a poweraxe from the Space Wolves kit, cut it off at the hand and trimmed the poweraxe head off & attached the hammer head from the General OTE standard.

There are so many little conversions like that in it - Which I like as it really does make it one of a kind.

This army is going so amazingly well!

I wish I could paint horses as well as you, but your biggest achievement is undoubtedly that you got a unit of about fifty (insert oath hear)ing flagellants to rank up!

P.S. I also think that the mixed uniform idea is going well, and a group shot of the painted models would be awesome.

P.P.S I liked the pistoliers the way they were, perched precariously on the sides of their saddles

They rank up now - but I think I might need to put numbers under the bases to remember what order to put them in (it was a little like a jigsaw puzzle

).

Coming soon - almost finished the swords men which is the last unit I have built, so will update showing them and also an army shot

That is a sweet looking conversion.

ninerfan · « **Reply #65 on:** May 25, 2009, 01:59:45 AM »

Sweet - all done with the swords men & arch lector:

If you're wondering about his armour - As it is magical armour I thought I'd wash it with a purple look to it (the mace is also magical & has a red wash on it but not really noticeable in the photos)

And their command:

well - that's the last of the minis I had built, so now need to build some more (won't go as crazy as last time!!

Build a little, paint a little works better I think)

ninerfan · « **Reply #66 on:** May 25, 2009, 02:10:49 AM »

And - Here is what is now completed in total (all 3180 pts worth!)

I think the colours are working & the blue really helps to stop the army looking disjointed & just a big rabble.

Got a few minis to buld now & have ordered a whole bunch (4 boxes of militia, Bret Pegasus Knight, Box of Bret knights, 2 x boxes Chaos knights & a whole bunch of bitz). That'll keep me going for a while I think.

PS. for those of you keeping track - I'm just about to finish my second pot of Delvan Mud wash

Marius · « **Reply #67 on:** May 26, 2009, 08:20:51 AM »

Really, the only thing that I can say is "Wow"

You have managed to paint such a huge army so fast and so well, congratulations are in order.

And you are right, the blue does anchor the army together and makes it look like an army.

Now, it's time to base all those minis (good luck)

jackelow · « **Reply #68 on:** May 26, 2009, 07:51:46 PM »

Its just so beautiful. I'm sorry I just get so emotional sometimes.

ninerfan · « **Reply #69 on:** December 28, 2009, 11:38:28 PM »

WOW - it's been quite a long time since I was here on the forums (probably 6 months in fact

).
Well, got things sorted so I'm back to it now. First job is to update the links to my pics as they have shifted to a new server and most of them aren't showing

so will do that today.

Have completed (finally) a couple more units which I will photograph and add in the next few days.

NEW YEARS RESOLUTION: Update this regularly

thanks for all the patience

ninerfan · « **Reply #70 on:** December 30, 2009, 01:19:42 AM »

OK - for some reason the system keeps erroring out when I try to update my old posts so here are the last pics of what I had gotten up to (if anyone wants to see any of the other pics not showing up now on earlier posts, let me know & I repost them too)

ninerfan · « **Reply #71 on:** December 30, 2009, 01:22:01 AM »

Weird - I can only post a couple of pics at a time without an error occurring. Think I better mention that to the team.

ninerfan · « **Reply #72 on:** December 30, 2009, 01:22:43 AM »

and the last 2 of the old ones

ninerfan · « **Reply #73 on:** December 30, 2009, 01:26:34 AM »

NOW - the new stuff. I've was working on these in May!!! finally got around to painting them so here are the additions:

My custom plastic, Luther Huss

ninerfan · « **Reply #74 on:** December 30, 2009, 01:34:17 AM »

next up - a collection of Warrior Priests which fit into various units (thier base colours fit the units colours).
