Men of Averland

[The Drunken Halfling]

Hi everybody!

This is my first post ever on any kind of forum, so this is all very new and unexplored ground for me, but anyway..here I go.

I have been involved in the hobby for almost ten years, during witch i have never managed to paint upp to more then one unit for an army. Something else new and exiting always came up to spoil my planes for the curent army I was building. But now this i all going to change.

Here are the first (in diffrerent stages of completion) miniatures in my Averland army.

Thanx

Those look amazingly good!

Especially the banner.

[Aldaiur]

Amazing!!! :icon_eek: :icon_eek: :icon_eek:

Wonderful conversion and a perfect paintjob. Congratulations.

[Fandir Nightshade]

That bsb is incredible great!

[Sigmar_Templar]

Amazing good conversion and very good paintjob. I only say Sol Invictus!!! :eusa_clap:

[steveb]

welcome, excellent painting and conversion work, hope to see more of your stuff. steveb

[Calibretto]

If that banner is freehand (and it looks to be) it is impressive. Most impressive to me though is that halflings skin tones, very nice! Look forward to seeing more!

[Uryens de Crux]

WOW

What can I say, the BSB is just made of pure awesome.

The General conversion is equally good and may well redefine the word "brilliant" if it gets as good a paint job as the BSB and Halfling.

and man, the mootfolk are getting some love at the moment arent they  :::cheers:::

thanks for posting and making me feel ashamed of my own stuff ;)  :icon_lol: :::cheers:::

that banner is very good.
Looking forward to seeing the general painted!

[General Tomerix Rotenkopf]

Wonderful banner, and I love the hobbit. Keep pics coming!

[The Drunken Halfling]

Thank you all again

WOW! I HAVE NO WORDS!!!

Just perfect.

[Fandir Nightshade]

This stuff is incredible and puts the heavy metal team to shame!

[Siberius]

Keep going. This is going to be a very popular blog.  8-)

That halfling is even better than the battle standard... just the level of painting... but I know everything you put up is going to be amazing.

[Fandir Nightshade]

I especially like the unit champion (so this is no bsb....it is a regular regimental standard?  :Ohmy:)

anyhow the champion has a .....

"bring it on bitch!" air about him.

signing in to your blog.

Welcome to the forum.

Hoping to see your army grow over the next year or so...

About the lighting : Use at least two and preferably 3 desklights (top,L,R), a nice background and no flash.

[The Drunken Halfling]

Correct, that's the sb (yes its freehand), not the bsb...hes yet to show his face.
The guy on horseback is probably the first model for my knights...a bit of conversionwork there sciens the current GW knights are so lovely :mellow:

[Finlay]

Hey guys!
We found someone who bought (at least one) box of goldswords!

[warhammerlord_soth]

Hey guys!
We found someone who bought (at least one) box of goldswords!

So ?

I bought 2. At 18 â,¬ each (don't ask).

[Fandir Nightshade]

how?  :happy:

[warhammerlord_soth]

I said don't ask. Jeeeezzz....

Source is dry anyway.

[Immovable Object]

Really good, I will be watching this thread and stealing ideas shamelessly  :icon_twisted:

[Siberius]

The new greatswords are very nice. I've been loving putting them together and painting them. If you get them as part of the brigade too, it doens't hurt so much  :wink:.

[The Drunken Halfling]

Yetagain thank you for the positive feedback!
And Lord Soth for the photo advice, I do think these ones look better!

Whitout futher ado, my warriorpriest (who is yet to receive a name):
A simple headswap from with a head from the greatsword plastics and change of hammer with the new one taken from the new captain of the empire pointing a pistol! :Ohmy:
