Topic: My Empire collection - It´s pretty large... And some ideas about it

[Mathi Alfblut]

Well, I can never really get totally satisfied with anything, but when I finished my new Halberdier regiment, The Red wolves of Ulric, making their bases really nice and painted their movement tray to match the bases, I felt it was about time to reasses the total collection and get a grip of it!

So I made a list that cover the minis that are finished and that there are clear plans for. I got a bunch that still needs to give a job but it gives me something to play with.
The theme of a primarily Eastern Stirland force remains, with the Red wolves of Ulric being a mercenary regiment that has been added (gives a good excuse to use different paintschemes etc).
The plan is to have each infantry regiment (Halberdiers, Spears with shields, Swordsmen & Greatswords) form the heart of a "Brigade" with 1 parent unit and two detachments.
The spears with no shields shall most likely become pikemens, so no stuff attached to them, and the crossbows will be independent units, as will most handguns.

The knight are painted in smaller regiments, but I am thinking about making my small vanilla knight regiment (East Stirland lancers) merge with Knights of St. Midaski so I need to do some work so they can rank up with each other if I want too.
My sons old knights, The Gilded guard, will be remade into Black guard of Morr and the Knights with the Hammer will be made into a sigmarite hammering unit.

The Greatswords will most likely get tied together with the Black Guard of Morr and I am figuring about how to best represent a Priest of Morr. They are not known for being fighters but still would seem best as a Warrior priest.

Can you get a group shot for us? 

[Mathi Alfblut]

When they are finally done, the majority of them, you will sure get a groupshot. Will be easier to get a nice groupshot than closeups with my mobilecam.

[Nicholas Ironfist]

I look forward to it..now....GET PAINTING

Mathi I need to finish painting my Delves but then I plan on completing my Stirland force (before trying out another province). Give me 3 months to paint my 5000pt delves (need to meet a tourney deadline) and then I'll match you unit for unit till we both get our 9000pt Empire armies done (I assume your list is 7-10k mines 8.7k at the moment).

[Mathi Alfblut]

It´s cool, Bies! Paint your Dvelfs and then lets start to list up our masses of proud Stirlanders!

[Nicholas Bies]

Indeed, may I add my list of Imperial models to the count?

by all means!

[Folken]

Bit dated(a year and a day old) but from a past thread:

 

Plus probably 100 models that have yet to be determined their fate and a pair of steam tanks.

Very creative Folken.
