Topic: Return to the Empire & Landsknechts with Laser Guns

[BK]

After almost 15 years of abandonment (well, I did paint few models here and there but generally did not finish a single unit since 2009. I am getting back to this project. Stay tuned, and for a teaser there is this, mercenary Ogres, "Black Codpieces", made from Wargames Atlantic fantastic Landsknecht Ogres:




And what About "Landsknechts  with Laser Guns? Well, it is an ongoing 40k project of "feudal" imperial guard (and various additions, such as Sisters of Battle and Inquisition), also based on Empire models:

More detailed pics of the ogres. Each one from a different province, with tiny bits of the "provincial character" here and there:
Altdorf/Marienburg (can work for both, my army is mostly Altdorf however):

Bogenhafen standard bearer. As someone coming from a rich town he has a pistol as a sidearm:

Musician is from Stirland, where he "acquired" double bass from a local Strigani musicians:

One from Nordland:

Carroburg Greatsword:

Ostlander hillbilly. Note simpler mace instead of sword as a sidearm

Hockland:

Middenheim. He has WW hammer as sidearm and since he is only one w/o headgear he is made to wear a sign that says "Has no hat":

One one from Ostermark, with Kislevite style sabre instead of regular sword  as sidearm:

More coming soon, there is a plenty of both WH and 40k stuff, most 40k stuff is finished, but I have to take photos of it, while Empire is in the process of long awaited overhaul.

Wow! Beautiful work. I love the choice of colors--bright but realistic and quite varied.
