yep bro that was their plan, a screen for the greatswords

I knew I should have charged 1 halberd unit in alone, then the 2nd after they fled though,

double loss run, squish was a travesty !

I blame Volks, lol

Stupid IF Felsh to Stone spell at just the right time. Those damn greatswords were unkillable!

And regarding the two halberdier units, they were facing like 6/700 points of Iron Breakers and Dwarf Lord...if they hadnt lost I'd have been upset.

Funniest though was my dwarves running down and killing Volks general...on his horse...with his knights...

That is funny... apparently those horses did not hail from Averland, since they tend to breed the fastest horses in the Empire.

Hard to tell from that picture mate...but it looks like the Citadel general that typically has two wings on his back to me.

So , it's been niggling at me for some time.

I need to create Karl Franz on a Dragon!

This might seem crazy, but I love the Dark Elf black dragon model, and am considering combining it with Valten !

http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/productDetail.jsp?catId=cat440023a&prodId=prod1130381&rootCatGameStyle=

Does any1 have any suggestions for an alternative mounted empire character model?

I think the Valten model is amazing

mr chumley warner · « **Reply #1457 on:** December 08, 2011, 11:31:03 AM »

gents too late i ordered !

£51 priority mail lol

The Valten 2.0 (not the High Elf steed, dwarf armour I show you the finger Valten 3.0) is the best mounted the Empire range has....so great buy...but if you wanted to go real dragon you should have gotten this baby here.

Behold the mightiest Dragon of them all

cheers bro, i think my dragon will be less immense!

also less than 250 Euro!

awesome looking dragon though

Fandir Nightshade · « **Reply #1460 on:** December 08, 2011, 12:31:40 PM »

Ahhh yes to understand you have to see the size comparison.

Ok so I have assembled Karl Franz's steed!

Very interested in comments regarding colour choice here?

What do you recon?

I'm stuck at the mo,

also the Valten model is not suitable as the metal sculpt arrived and he is sandwiched to the horses head etc, and has a metal robe also,

so comments regarding a suitable rider for KF would be very welcomed

Siberius · « **Reply #1462 on:** December 09, 2011, 05:11:03 PM »

I vote for a green dragon. I have no reasoning behind that other than it would be cool to see something different.

And I bet I know what would make a cool Karl Franz to go on it... Karl Franz!

mr chumley warner · « **Reply #1463 on:** December 09, 2011, 05:16:31 PM »

I just don't know if I could pull off Green sir,

there are so many ways it could go wrong

lol

cjp · « **Reply #1464 on:** December 09, 2011, 05:19:38 PM »

I've always planned to use one of the older White Wolf knights as my hero on griffon/dragon (modular if possible, to ride both). But, I tend to like slightly more understated figures for my heroes:

One of the hammer-swingers here: http://solegends.com/citcat9x3/c92344empcav-02.jpg

You could use Borgio from the DoW range. I converted him to have a lance for my Empire, and I really like the look of him:

http://madponies.net/images/empire/oti.b.jpg

Maybe something like this Perry standard bearer, standard swapped for an axe or hammer or something:

Or the heroic chap in the middle here?

mr chumley warner · « **Reply #1465 on:** December 09, 2011, 05:27:52 PM »

interesting ideas!

It needs to be something so rare and unique that it has shock factor!

I'm thinking an old marauder model,

converted to carry the KF model hammer Gharl Maraz

cost is no obstacle here,

lol

Blue in vt · « **Reply #1466 on:** December 09, 2011, 05:28:45 PM »

Thats one Toothy dragon eh?

I like the figures that cjp proposed but feel they aren't "fantastic" enough for this dragon. Perhaps find the old Marauder KF figure?

Cheers,

Blue

mr chumley warner · « **Reply #1467 on:** December 09, 2011, 05:35:08 PM »

Na I used KF for my Griffon model,

i'm thinking something off the wall now

Timbor · « **Reply #1468 on:** December 09, 2011, 06:21:36 PM »

Hmm, Im not familiar with many wayyy OOP models, but the old MB15 pegasus rider is pretty cool:

http://www.solegends.com/citcat9x3/c92420marempheropegasus-01.htm

The problem is a lot of the older OOP stuff has a more 'simple' sculpting style. I think you need something from the 90's and onwards to match that dragon.

steveb · « **Reply #1469 on:** December 09, 2011, 06:55:25 PM »

I would use a combination of general kit, Karl franz head (see silicone/greenstuff molds) and engineer/pistolier hand weapons. and any other bits that you may wish to throw in from anywhere, of course he would have side weapons/sword/hammer etc., but I would give him repeater pistols like the engineer ones, reason being, what do you think he would probably hit if he was swinging a big sword from the dragon's back? or imagine a hammer blow breaking a wing or bopping the dragon in the head=a quick change of allegiance by the dragon. obviously hand guns would extend the reach of the rider and still allow hand to hand combat with the survivors. just my opinion. steveb

mr chumley warner · « **Reply #1470 on:** December 09, 2011, 07:13:26 PM »

KF in the rulebook has the Runefang or the Hammer ,

i have to stick to this

DariusZero · « **Reply #1471 on:** December 09, 2011, 07:21:16 PM »

I'm using Borgio the besieger as a rider ( haven't painted him yet), and as you live on the other side of the planet, there wouldn't be any harm in duplicating him.

Uryens de Crux · « **Reply #1473 on:** December 09, 2011, 09:01:43 PM »

It bothers me, that mace is ridiculous

mr chumley warner · « **Reply #1474 on:** December 09, 2011, 09:12:34 PM »

that mace is top heavy bro!

i can't entertain such a mace !

it would have it's own large gravitational field
