Talabecland Army

Hi Everyone!

Long time Empire player, and long time lurker here. I've never really been patient enough to really paint my army. But, after being away from the game since around 8th edition (not a fan), TOW has reinvigorated me into painting my army once again.

Long ago, back when I was but a young teenager and Chaos Dwarfs were discontinued (my first army), I picked up Empire as my main army. After studying the different color schemes, I landed on the yellow and red of Talabecland. I then proceeded to undercoat my army black and then try to paint yellow directly over it. Lesson learned.

Going to use this thread to share my progress painting toward a 2000 point army or bust! Hopefully this will help push me to keep painting and give some content back to this community that has given me so much good inspiration over the years.


So, first up I have my first ever fully based and painted unit of empire spearmen. I have a full 32 models painted up, not all are shown. Most of these spearmen were painted in 2008 a couple years after college. A few were painted more recently, and all but two were based last month.


(will try and get better lighting next time)

I am unsure if I should paint/static grass the movement tray. I kinda like the wood look, and see a lot done up that I think look silly. But, I could see painting it brown, adding in some dirt and minimal grass to make it look uniform with the units could be nice. What do you all prefer for movement trays?

Rowsdower:
+Personally; i don't paint movement trays so other units can use them if need be

Warlord:
I can't view the picture, though that could be a me thing.

I usually paint / base my movement trays - just the edges. Not the space where the miniatures stand.

Indio:
Thanks for letting me know! I had hosted it on a Wordpress site I have, but turns out it doesn't have a security certificate, which I think caused the issue.

I went ahead and created an Imgur account and updated the post. You should see it now.

Gorim:
Nice paintjobs! As for the movement trays, I much prefer them to be done in the same style as the model bases, or completely hidden under the model bases, instead of seeing the bare wood/plastic .
