Hi all, with the coming of The Old World I've decided to start an imperial army in the glorious livery of the city of Altdorf. The first models will be a reiklander warband painted last year:

Those are looking awesome, and good choice on having yellow feathers, makes the figures look more striking, congrats!

Nice colour choices. Also super nice that you name your troopers!

Welcome!

Love the style and the composition is solid. How many spearmen are you going for?

Just finished my first spearmen unit: the glorious Hoch und Burgmeister regiment:

Thanks

To paint the lion first I drew the interior lines that marked the shape of the body, arms, tail. Then I painted the outline and filled it up, the finishing touch were the strands of hair that hang from the body. I used a google heraldic image as reference, for my halberdier unit I want to do a griffon!

More troops for the Emperor, this time an harquebusier unit. It's nice to see again on the field these nostalgic Perry sculpts form the early 2000s, the first wargaming models I ever had!

No imperial army is complete without guns right? With the addition of two great cannon my artillery is complete, enemies of Altdorf beware!

Mercenary knights of the Altdorf Freikorps. This cavalry unit is formed by freelancers from all over the Old World.

Those Battlemaster knights are surprisingly good models. Love your painting.

Your army is progressing apace! Really nice looking units and they're going to look awesome on the battlefield!

Illumini · « **Reply #17 on:** May 03, 2024, 10:12:38 AM »

The battlemaster minis are really characterful and pretty good sculpts for their age. Good looking unit

Albrecht's regiment of Foote, a mercenary unit raised by one of the richest men of the capital

A few Empire players i know started with spearmen like that. They were jealous of the multi-part one's i was buying

I recognize two of those cannon crewmen. They came with the 30+ year old Battlemasters game

The last unit to complete my initial 1.500pts army is done: the steam tank Viktoria. Since in 6th you could mod these bad boys up I converted a steam volley gun and a hatch to replace the turret.

This project is coming along quite well!

And like what you've done with the golden metallic look on the general's armor and steam tank, congrats!

Your tank really pops! Nice work and thanks for sharing.
