AsraiR Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 So after what feels like decades (oh it is in fact 20 years since I started buying Empire as was, back in the old days of WFB 5th) I've been slowly bringing my guys back to the tabletop for Sigmar. Here is a huge chunk of my infantry repaired, rebased, reprimed and 10 of whom were test painted last year to set the scheme. This is my big project for the year alongside working on my PhD so here we go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aezeal Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 So did you get a mortgage for this or are these your old models you are (re?-) painting this year? Anyway good luck with painting that. Do you play too or are you more of a hobbyist? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AsraiR Posted April 18, 2017 Author Share Posted April 18, 2017 Ha, no this is literally the stuff I've accumulated over the last 20 years in dribs and drabs across house moves etc. I love playing with my Freeguild, arguably more than I do with my newer factions as they feel the most honest in many ways. Of all my armies they have seen the most table time, currently sitting at about 60/40 win to lose ratio. I always loved Mordheim too so a lot of these guys have been in various iterations of Mordheim warbands. Plus the militia units on the right are boxes of Frostgrave Soldiers and Barbarians as I adore those models a great deal and they fit in perfectly as town watch and mountain clans respectively.

Wow that's a lot! Nice army, I like seeing some sturdy Duardin in there. But there's only infantry right? Do you plan to add cav or ally in some Ironweld Arsenal or a Hurricanum? Can you show your paint scheme you plan to use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blitzel Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 If you could aquire some pistoliers you could field a freeguild regiment! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AsraiR Posted April 19, 2017 Author Share Posted April 19, 2017 Its on the agenda, previously I'd been using the state troop detachment to much success. Kind of forgot I'd also painted up 10 swordsmen made from Ricco's Republican Guard (their pikes were awful). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steini Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Nice especially the general on Demigryph! seems you got a lot of work to do this year. Would like to see further pics of your progress and some batreps...? Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AsraiR Posted April 20, 2017 Author Share Posted April 20, 2017 Thanks, will be cracking on soon. Looking at getting the base colours on the rest of the halberdiers. Hoping to get some more battles in soon, though I'm working on getting more painted before I do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BunkhouseBuster Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Good luck getting that all painted up! If I count in all of my unfinished 40K models, I am about even with you as far as painting goes. I am eager to see how a big Free Peoples army will look on the table. Getting into a combined Free Guild + Dispossessed + Ironweld Arsenal army is my planned 3rd army project, so I am interested to see how things look when all done.

AsraiR Posted April 23, 2017 Author Share Posted April 23, 2017 If I counted my 40k, 30k and all others you'd see some things lol. Hope your army goes well for you. Just put the finishing wash on the 20 remaining halberdiers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only the 20 halberds and cannons, had a week off for Easter and I attacked them on Friday and Sunday. Though I am a machine when I get my blood up lol. 4 hours ago, Artobans Ghost said: That wizard/priest on the right is glorious! I assume you mean Ar-Ulric, had him since Storm of Chaos, my first unit of Greatswords is Teutogen Guard to go with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nin Win Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 I do as well. Especially the combination of blue and a white with the warm metallics like gold/brass. Steam tank looks great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steini Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 Like Middenheim style, too! Alas I wouldn't use brown for the bases. The grey stones Look perfect but the brown Underground seems to disturb the whole look. But that's just my personal view keep on the great work! Thumbs up!

AsraiR Posted May 7, 2017 Author Share Posted May 7, 2017 Thanks everyone. Just started work on my Teutogen Guard but ended up going to a pop up food market for a bit of the afternoon so not got too far on them. Bases will be black when I base up, they're only brown now as its the colour primer I use, Army Painter Fur Brown. Basing will probably be the same as on my Stormcast you see below, my city of Whitebark is in Ghyran. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AsraiR Posted May 7, 2017 Author Share Posted May 7, 2017 Thank you, I used to call this my simple palette, but then you look at all the pots lined up on your desk and shake your head. When I first went through painting most of these models (when I was about 15) they were inspired by the Nights Watch, that was simple. Spray black, pick out skin, metals and wood. Oh they were bad lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
