EMMachine Posted June 15, 2019 Author Share Posted June 15, 2019 (edited) So another short building session. Why do I have the feeling the Freeguild General on Gryphon is an abomination I created. Let's hope he looks better when painted. The main problem was that with the Lord Aquilor, the legs are cast on the Gryphcharger body (unlike the Palladors) and the plastic is so thin that even the legs are hollow inside, now having a portion of the body of highwarden and wings attached , Also I changed the weapon of my chieftain because I build another female one.

It looks nice, but it was a pain in the a** to build. Anyway here is an update. I have painted my Chieftain on Griffon (and I think the Griffon looks less weird when painted). And I have also painted my first 3 Demigryph Knights. And to underline the Ghyran Tribe theme, I didn't have used any metal paints for them.

EMMachine Posted June 23, 2019 Author Share Posted June 23, 2019 (edited) So, this weekend was again more of a converting lesson First, I built 3 more Demigryph Knights to reinforce my existing unit to 6 models (and 6 more for a second unit are still on the way) Then I built 10 more Archers. And I've built 10 more Grandswords, now my two Chieftains (Freeguild General) each have their own bodyguard unit. And, oh deer! 😛 Then I have these guys here. 2 units of 5 Reavers each, all riding on stags (the unit of the Swifthawk Agents is more suitable in profile than the Outriders of the Free People, even though it means I have to put the army as an Order Allegiance.) And with the new Generals Handbook 2019th The Army currently looks like this. Allegiance: Order Leaders Battlemage (110) Freeguild General on Griffon (280) - Greathammer Freeguild General (100) - Great Weapon Freeguild General (100) - Shield & Sigmarite Weapon Battleline 5 x Reavers (140) 5 x Reavers (140) 10 x Freeguild Archers (100) 10 x Freeguild Archers (100) 20 x Freeguild Guard (160) - Spears and Shields 20 x Freeguild Guard (160) - Spears and Shields Units 6 x Demigryph Knights (260) - Lance and Sword 10 x Freeguild Greatswords (120) 10 x Freeguild Greatswords (120) Total: 1890 / 2000 Edited February 16, 2021 by EMMachine pictures repaired 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kramer Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 First off amazing stuff. Really fits together but the griffin conversion has to be my fave as it ties it all together while looking dope as hell secondly I would absolutely buy them as outriders. But I respect the choice theme for gaming results. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EMMachine Posted June 29, 2019 Author Share Posted June 29, 2019 So, I already announced it last week. This week, my parts came for 6 more Demigryphknights, which I have assembled today. Also, I've built a shaman on Stag. Unfortunately, there is no mounted warscroll for the battlemages, so the archmage has to serve the second Aelfenwarscroll. With the new models, my tribesmen are at exactly 2250 points. Allegiance: Order Leaders Battlemage (110) Archmage (100) - Mount: Steed Freeguild General on Griffon (280) - General - Greathammer Freeguild General (100) - Great Weapon Freeguild General (100) - Shield & Sigmarite Weapon Battleline 5 x Reavers (140) 5 x Reavers (140) 10 x Freeguild Archers (100) 10 x Freeguild Archers (100) 20 x Freeguild Guard (160) - Spears and Shields 20 x Freeguild Guard (160) - Spears and Shields Units 6 x Demigryph Knights (260) - Lance and Sword 6 x Demigryph Knights (260) - Lance and Sword 10 x Freeguild Greatswords (120) 10 x Freeguild Greatswords (120) Total: 2250 / 2250 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EMMachine Posted July 4, 2019 Author Share Posted July 4, 2019 (edited) So friends of tribesmen. My Tribesmen have received their second "Big Guy" today. I've got myself a real Imperial Griffon to give my army another Shaman (even if the shaman's Griffon is bigger than my chief's gryphcharger) I have not glued heads and wings of the Griffon for painting reasons yet.

EMMachine Posted July 14, 2019 Author Share Posted July 14, 2019 (edited) Well, it took a while, but I painted the next models. I have 3 more Demigryph Knights, which has now reached my unit 6 models. Then I painted the shaman on Griffon, which I had last assembled. And finally 5 Reavers. I'd say these guys prove that you can be manly when riding a stag. Edited February 16, 2021 by EMMachine pictures repaired 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EMMachine Posted July 27, 2019 Author Share Posted July 27, 2019 Small update: I'm still painting 10 Archers, 10 Greatswords, and a Freeguild General. Now I somehow feel that the subject Reavers / Outriders from my post above is not quite off the table As we know from the rumor thread, a "Cities of Sigmar" Battletome was announced at Openday. I suspect that the Battletome will be released at the end of August or sometime in September, due to the way the last battletomes were announced and released. After the Reavers already have no more models sold, I somehow have my doubts that it will create the Warscroll in the new Battletome. Currently waiting for the following to be built by me: I ordered the stuff before the price increase in July, which ended up costing about 10, - € less than after the increase Once called in written form: 2x Paladors 2x Sisters of the Thorn 1x Ungors 1x Eternal Guard 1x Kairic Acolytes. The actual plan was to build 6 more Demigryph Knights and 2x 5 reavers to get a 2000 point cavalry army together. Now the question is, how does the whole thing develop with Cities of Sigmar. The Demigryph Knights continue to make sense, and I think for a bit of variety probably the two-handed as "Cavalry Halberts" to build. It's just the thing with the planned Reavers. In the end, I end up out with the Freeguild Outriders, who actually have at least too much toWound and too much Rend (they would be better wounds than a Bonesplitter Arrowboy). If I were to use the Outriders really as Warscroll, my Archers would probably use the rules of Marksmen so that the two units are not too different. The other thing is. If I ever changed to the "black powder" Warscrolls, I could also do 2 units Outriders and 2 units of Pistoliers instead of 4 units Outriders (with Javelins instead of the pistols). According to the current state, I would need the 4 units Reavers because at the combination of Reavers and Demigryph Knights the Knights can not be Battleline because the Reavers are not a Freeguild unit and the Reavers are always Battleline. On the other hand, it is currently still unclear how the topic of Battleline will develop among the fractions in general (or if general, how the number of Warscrolls in the new Battletome will look like). A small miniature update that I have already made is already give my shooter units schonmal a musical instrument. The current Reavers receive the instrument as soon as the second unit is painted. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EMMachine Posted August 1, 2019 Author Share Posted August 1, 2019 (edited) This wasn't actually a planned painting update but if I have this picture already. this is the actual state of my 10 Archers, 10 Grandswords and my female Freeguild General (aka Chieftain). Hopefully I will achive it to finish them this weekend. Edited February 16, 2021 by EMMachine pictures repaired 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EMMachine Posted August 4, 2019 Author Share Posted August 4, 2019 (edited) Alright, here is the real update my female Chieftain her 10 men bodyguard of Greatswords. and 10 Archers My main problem now is that I do not know if 2 of 3 units will have a matching warscroll after the release of Cities if Sigmar (or if a fan-made battletome has to come). I'll have to keep watching that. Edited February 16, 2021 by EMMachine pictures repaired 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EMMachine Posted August 19, 2019 Author Share Posted August 19, 2019 So, currently I'm a little bit of building-technical residues to clean up a bit. Among other things, I had planned a few melee fighters more for my Maidenguard. So the models that I had here before: On 7/23/2018 at 10:59 AM, EMMachine said: July, 15 I made some Maiden Defenders (Bleakswords) to be free in an Order Army, together with the Reavers ... I just decided to make a little tutorial for this. In order to build a Sisters of the Watch melee unit, a Box Sisters of the Watch and two Sisters of the Thorn boxes are needed. Here are the parts needed for a single melee: Legs Sisters of the Watch / Shadow Warriors Cloak Sisters of the Watch / Shadow Warriors Body Sisters of The Watch Head Sisters of the Watch Sword Arm Shadow Warriors Bow arm Shadow Warriors Sword Sisters of the Watch Shield Wildriders For sure, a spear arm would be nice, but as Wildriders and Sisters of the Thorn share the lower part of the spear arm, they take the opportunity to build the rest of the unit as Sisters of the Thorn As a first step, we need the front body of the Sisters of the Watch (as this has the female physique and the heart symbol on the belt of the Sisters) Since we want to use the arms of the Shadow Warriors for the close combat armament, we first have to cut off the arms Then we can glue legs, the body and the head. As a shield arm of the model, we use the bow arm of the Shadow Warriors. To do this, however, the bow must first be removed. After attaching the arms, the model now looks like this. We have one more thing to worry about. Usually the Sisters of the Watch are wearing a sword on their backs or the Shadow Warriors are wearing a quiver. So here's a cloak around this patch in the cloak. To cover this hollow, we take the Sword that the Sisters of the Watch carry on their backs. Since these models already hold a sword, we only need the sword sheath, which is why we separate the upper part of the sword. We can then glue these on the back. What the model looks like Since I stick the shields only when the model is painted, here only a small hint with the placed sign 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
