Hello all,

Been lurking here a while, gathering inspiration from the armies people have posted and decided to start my own thread. I have collected a small Empire army so far, starting off with a battalion, some archers and characters and hope to eventually grow it into a large army! Here is what I have completed so far

Archers

First 10 Halberdiers

BSB

Warrior Priest

Captasus

Good work, very crisp painting.

Thanks for the comments!

Heat has been slowing down my painting, hard to sit in that stifling room with its tiny window most days. Hopefully it cools off soon! Managed to finish 10 more Halberdiers, 20/40 completed so far.

Unit so far:

Great colours

What are yellow are you using?

Gankom · « **Reply #7 on:** July 24, 2013, 12:13:48 AM »

Looking good, I like those colors!

Zujara · « **Reply #8 on:** July 25, 2013, 06:45:26 AM »

ragentry: Using Iyanden Darksun, Flash gitz Yellow and Bad Moon Yellow

Decided to paint my cannon in hopes it brings me better luck with it. Currently it just loves the can't fire this turn or next result.

Got 10 Swordsmen for a detachment to my Halberdiers finished

And I touched up an Amethyst Wizard I had painted a few years earlier

Love the wizards.

Very inspiring - I'd love to paint one, too. *adds another item to her agenda*

Nice colour scheme on the other units.

And good luck with the cannon you painted!

Zujara · « **Reply #11 on:** August 31, 2013, 11:58:52 PM »

Thanks! I plan to get one of each college painted eventually.

Wife is in her 9th month of pregnancy so painting time has been limited as we prepare everything. Sneaking in what I can though!

Yet more Halberdiers. Almost finished my horde!

Made a Jade wizard out of a Bret sorceress. Sickle might be a bit big for her though

Darknight · « **Reply #12 on:** September 02, 2013, 02:36:03 AM »

It's Warhammer, man - nothing is too big!

Great looking models - those wizards are fantastic. Very cool idea to have a complete set like that.

OttoVonBlotto · « **Reply #13 on:** September 02, 2013, 03:11:08 AM »

wizards are great as is the rest of it!

really need to get on with mine!

Zujara · « **Reply #14 on:** September 05, 2013, 09:20:15 PM »

Darknight: That's a good point, decided to keep the sickle as it is.

OttoVonBlotto: Thanks! Wizards are a fun way to paint something other than my state colours every now and then.

I finished an Amber wizard conversion and painted it, kept it simpler since I will be using him as a level 1.

WIP of my Jade wizardess

Arrival of my son 2 weeks ago has slowed me down a bit, but am able to sneak in a bit of time painting when he naps during the day.

Last 9 halberdiers completed!

The complete horde, lead by a warrior priest:

Jade Wizardess

4/8 Wizards so far

Really like your amber wizard, what bits did you use for it?

Also love the rest of the wizards, great painting

CommanderMorganBernhardt · « **Reply #17 on:** September 22, 2013, 07:35:50 AM »

Really like yours army the colours are so clean what's you technic and what paints do you use?

Gankom · « **Reply #18 on:** September 22, 2013, 06:02:03 PM »

Those wizards look awesome! Kepp up the good work.

Durloth · « **Reply #19 on:** September 22, 2013, 06:07:02 PM »

The wizards look great! My favorite is the amber one!

Zujara · « **Reply #20 on:** September 23, 2013, 06:07:21 PM »

@harv: Arms and body are from the Flagellant box. I trimmed down one of the left hand weapons and added a small skull from the same box to it. The right I cut the top off, and added a beast skull from the Tomb Kings skeletons to the top. Head is from the plastic Greatswords.

@CommanderMorganBernhardt: I do a base colour, wash it then build up thin layers. Some of my paints are old, so I am not sure on the new names for them

Yellow: Iyanden Darksun, watered wash of Seraphim Sepia, a few layers of Flash Gitz Yellow and highlight with Bad Moon Yellow(Vallejo Game Colour) then a touch of Bleached Bone.

Red: Mechrite Red, watered wash of Nuln Oil, a few thin layers of Blood Red and a highlight of Blazing Orange.

@Gankom, Durloth: Thanks!

daftpunky · « **Reply #21 on:** September 24, 2013, 01:48:36 PM »

Good clean crisp painting and good application of washes!
An army to be proud of, well done sir!

Talben21 · « **Reply #22 on:** September 24, 2013, 03:19:44 PM »

For Taal!

Fellow Talabeclander here! I make my reds very dark like yours. Great work.

Realjuan · « **Reply #23 on:** September 24, 2013, 04:45:41 PM »

I really like how the faces look, would it be possible to see a close up of a halberdier's face? So far I see that sometimes shades and highlights are exaggerated, but its not totally my taste. Yours look realistic and great.

Great work, want my address so you can send them?

Zujara · « **Reply #24 on:** October 11, 2013, 09:59:48 PM »

daftpunky: Thanks, that yellow took me a while to get looking clean.

Talben21: For Taal! I originally tried bright reds, but found the darker reds contrasted better with the yellow.

Realjuan: Thanks, got as good a closeup of a face as I could get for you. I don't think I will be sending them anywhere though!

5 Archer Detachment

10 more Swordsmen!

Full detachment

Army shot so far (need to get better at these!)

And some goodies I found at a garage sale last week, not bad for $10!
