Looks great as well! I am also using foot knights as unit champions and characters (etc etc). Thank you for the motivation!

Awesome... I love the models, your a brave man for working with older models...

Oxycutor · « **Reply #28 on:** April 17, 2009, 03:44:11 PM »

They weren't considered older models when I got them, they were the latest thing at the time. They've been tidied up a bit that's pretty much how they've looked since I painted them 15 years ago. But the bases have just been redone, and the dust brushed off

More oldschool minis

And they're so beautifully colorful.

Post more pictures, please, especially some of the "regular troops" - doesn't hurt to show the kids what got people like US into the hobby back in the day!

That is...wow

But you need more cannons

Oxycutor · « **Reply #31 on:** April 20, 2009, 07:28:26 AM »

Small Update.

A really old unit, but one which was repainted some time last year, and the shields replaced with more recent ones. These are mostly Marauder Minis, except the smaller chaps without a shield, and most of the front rank. The fat halberdier and standard had broken weapons when I got them, or it happened later maybe, so one got turned into a standard bearer, the other one looks ok enough. The Citadel Lord of Battle leading them is probably the first model I bought for Empire once I decided to settle on an army. Before that me and my friend just bought random stuff and played without rules, it was getting the rulebook and armies book that made us pick an army. He chose greenskins.

Not been able to get much done lately, what with work, holiday away and concentrating on the conversion contest, so I thought I'd gather a few things I've posted on other threads. Hopefully by the end of the week and over the weekend I'll be able to get a few things done or photographed

I love that pistol-wielding champ/captain! His cloak is very well done, are those decals or freehands?

Auberswald · « **Reply #35 on:** May 12, 2009, 09:13:10 PM »

One word: Whoa. That's a lot of guys and a lot of time soon to be spent painting them I'm sure.

Oxycutor · « **Reply #36 on:** May 12, 2009, 09:22:36 PM »

@Von Breden: That was freehand, way back when I had more patience, time to practice and more daylight hours available to do what I wanted. And back then the paints wouldn't destroy your brushes as quickly, or maybe it's the water where I live now. I think that picture on the back of the cloak took me half a day.

@Auberswald: Yep, always got more to paint than I have got time fore, and still I buy more for the army. And next month the new stuff comes out

Von Breden · « **Reply #37 on:** May 12, 2009, 09:36:21 PM »

Well, it's awesome, so it was definetely more than worth it!

Oxycutor · « **Reply #38 on:** May 16, 2009, 09:59:13 AM »

Had this unit of Knights Panther and decided to finish them off. I've never really felt the 'official' colour scheme was right for them, I prefer the black and yellow/ochre of what Panthers actually look like. I did have red trim, and I thought since nearly all my Knights would have had red trimmings, it would be worth testing a model with some blue trimmings and see how it looks. And I think it worked better, so I've re-done the unit.

It's not obvious from these photos but, I've also used the gloss varnish on the black barding, conversly what is obvious in the photos that you don't see so well on the models is the dreaded mold lines

Here are some before and after shots

King · « **Reply #39 on:** May 16, 2009, 10:04:49 AM »

Oh gosh these knights are great. None of the new knight sculpts beats these old marvels

Well done

steveb · « **Reply #40 on:** May 16, 2009, 02:56:02 PM »

I don't care what GW comes up with, the old guys well painted cant be beat, they just look so rich and detailed, you have done an excellent job. If they ever need a new home give me a call and I will find a place for them in the front rank of my army. steveb

Finlay · « **Reply #41 on:** May 16, 2009, 05:33:08 PM »

Love those knights.

Oxycutor · « **Reply #42 on:** May 18, 2009, 06:28:04 PM »

Time for some more pics.

Rebased this detachment of Altdorf Spearmen, Built a new base for this Talabheim Mortar, and a couple of characters. The Gold Wizard I've just painted, and that mold line down it's nose I swear is invisible until you point a camera at it.

And Finally, the Elector Count I've just added a wolf head detailing to the barding near the front with greenstuff, I decided to keep the painted on head for the rear barding, and tidied him up a bit as I've rebased him

Merrick · « **Reply #43 on:** May 18, 2009, 06:57:44 PM »

So pwetty!

Love the Count's barding...

WallyTWest · « **Reply #45 on:** May 19, 2009, 06:03:34 PM »

I am really starting to love this blog. Fantastic work~

Marius · « **Reply #46 on:** May 22, 2009, 11:22:21 AM »

So.. many..

I love the Ye Olde models the most, especially the old knights.

Oxycutor · « **Reply #47 on:** May 22, 2009, 08:47:37 PM »

Ok, so now that the conversion contest is over, I too can post up my WIP pics.

First my Pegasus Entry. A before and WIP was sent, but must have got lost in the post.

Soulfire · « **Reply #48 on:** May 22, 2009, 08:49:47 PM »

On the first one, WTF was up with the wings?

??

Oxycutor · « **Reply #49 on:** May 22, 2009, 09:00:07 PM »

Next up is the man in charge. This is the old Great Imperial Dragon from way back in about 1986. I had never had the bit that was meant to be it's ears, and my first attempt to replace it for this contest ended up being too big, so the final was much smaller. I was probably a bit more ambitious with this than what my skill with Greenstuff is capable of, but I'm really pleased with the result anyway
