My first post on here - WIP Empire Fighter Warband
« on: April 03, 2021, 10:31:37 AM »
Hi there, I've recently become a member (although I should have done so a long time ago!) and this is my first post on here. It's always been very informative to lurk here as a guest and pour through all the outstanding work on offer. This is the WIP of my Citadel and Marauder classic fighter warband. I'm at the halfway point with them at the moment and am hoping to get them finished sometime this month.

Looks like they hail from Altdorf, with traces of Bogenhafen. :icon_cool: :eusa_clap:

Thanks very much! The plan is to have them hailing from one of the Tilean City States, most likely Luccini.

Oh hello, Satan. I see through your name!

They look good. I particularily like the dwarf. The beard is well done.
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

Thanks very much everyone! Really appreciate it. Hope to have them all complete by the weekend. Just finished the heavy of the group, a nice Marauder ogre which I'll photograph tomorrow.

I shall endeavour to fuel your enthusiasm. From what I can see you've pretty much painted them all anyway. Lol

The detail you attain is just crazy. Well done.
If I tried that, first of all I wouldn’t get that achieved and second I’d have to talk myself out of the looney bin.

I do love a hex. Even the ogre has one.

Thank you very much! I've found that a magnifying visor really makes a difference. My eyes aren't quite what they were all of a sudden and investing in a visor has helped massively.

Since they are your models, try an augment one...
