Minsc's speedpainted Hochland. (Pic. heavy.)

[Minsc]

It's nearly 2 months ago since I started Empire, and my army is nearing completion.
I've mostly speedpainted and used washes to 'clean up' the mess, but I'd say it turned out OK in the and anyway.

The grittiness pleases me greatly.

Shame they're not Nuln troops.  :engel:

[Zak]

dude i like your army  :::cheers:::

[Siberius]

Always wonderful to see a fellow Hochland army.

I like your style too, really helps to mute the bright colour scheme.

[Aldaris]

Aaah, a fellow Hochlander. Warms my heart.

[Gneisenau]

Hey, I've never seen that Gamezone General painted. Thank you!

Also, nice touch to have the Helblaster the other way round. Looks badass.

[Minsc]

 :::cheers::: All, gonna put up the Flagellants when they're done.

[Warlord]

Always wonderful to see a fellow Hochland army.

Agree. Nice army.

[Valetus]

That has turned out well for a speed paint, gives a gritty look anyway. Besides that the metal wizard is genuinly well done.

[PrimusPilus]

Very good stuff!

[peraturabo]

well,looks good so far,but you COULD drill up the Handguns,or simply paint a black spot that it looks like a hole

[Count Stephano]

It's all a bit brown. Try to high light it with the base colour.

Other then that it's magnificent for a 2 month job. (what you painted in 2 months I can't even do in a year :P)

[goldcrown]

Wow Minsc, this puts my army of nuln to shame.  Very nice!

[Von Colussien]

Very well done for a 2 month speed paint job. Some good conversions and a very nice unifying colour scheme throughout the army. Really good for the hobby that something that good could be done so fast

[Timbor]

Looks very nice!  Did you use an army dip for the shading?

[Minsc]

Thanks again for the compliments guys.  :icon_redface:
My painting has been on a standstill lately, but I should have 30 Flagellants and 20 Free Company finnished and uploaded sometime this week.
My Steamtank, 20 Goldswords and 10 additional Crossbows also came today, so the Hochland army grows!

well,looks good so far,but you COULD drill up the Handguns,or simply paint a black spot that it looks like a hole

Good idéa, it's been taken care of.

Did you use an army dip for the shading?

No. I used to dip, (my 40k CSM and some of my wood elves/dark elves are dipped), but I have switched to washes instead since it's easier to obtain, cheaper, the smell doesn't stay on the modell for 5 years and because I personally think it looks alot better - you also don't get the "shiny bling bling" effect.
My Empire are washed with Devlan Mud.

It's all a bit brown

That's probably due to the Devlan Mud wash + the fact that I use alot of Bestial Brown/Scorched Earth in my painting.

[Timbor]

Good 'ol devlan mud!  Do you highlight again after the wash, or do you just leave it as is?

[El Cody]

where'd you get your general? I don't recognize him, also good looking army, bet it looks great from the table

[Minsc]

Do you highlight again after the wash, or do you just leave it as is?

I leave it as it is.
If I were to highlight without washing, it would look way to bright, and if I were to wash the highlight, it would barely be noticable.

where'd you get your general?

Gamezone miniatures (Empire range.)
The General is the 'General of Empire' and the mounted Warrior Priest is "'Ego Te Absolvo' Warrior Monk".

[Kirgan]

You could do better war altar bigger surface and fire mage to  look little more in fire it is to yellow other stuff is ok when I learn to take a pic's I shall make few photos frmo 3yrs ago of my Empire Army  :::cheers:::
