The ogres are old Harlequin miniatures.  They were in the Black Tree Design catalog but disappeared a few years ago.

This is amazing! The ogre is especially good! Is it the paintjob or is the model itself that high quality?
Now go! Ride towards the sun atop these noble steeds
You're our spandex heroes, now fullfil your destinies
And so we turned and rode beyond the castle walls
with shiny codpiece armour that doth cradle our chivalrous balls

Resurrecting the old blog to test if I can link pics from my Locals account.  Let me know if you can see the pic.



Dingdu Muffin's husband made a run to town for some pipe weed and milk two weeks ago and hasn't been seen since.

Ha!  That's some awesome looking painting, awesome.  And in Stirland colors no less. :icon_biggrin: :icon_cool: :eusa_clap: :::cheers:::

I'm hoping that GW produces another model of a Marienburg landship after "Warhammer: The Old World" is released.  Especially since Marienburg features as one of the 4 primary provinces.

By the way, great choice of music in that video, too. :biggriin:

I'm going to link my post here in your thread into a new Poll for our site's "Make Your Vote Count!" area here ...

The Nuln Mercenary Spearmen aka the Nuln Spearman.

Headquartered in Nuln and generally recruited from dropouts and flunkies of the various gunnery schools. The Nuln Spearmen ply their trade throughout the Empire.  Despite their mercenary profession, they are loyal to the Imperial crown and would never take up arms against those favored by the Emperor.

Once thought of as elusive or just a legend, they are becoming common sight an the battle fields of the Empire.

Love the banner!

The spearmen are very chunky models. Where are they from?
