This week I received a large box full of goodies from my fat Samoan friend in Florida who sent me a large amount of Empire troops. There were roughly 70 State Troops, 10 Handgunners, 2 cannons, and some characters. He hadn't gotten around to painting them so I made him a deal. I will paint them up so that if he ever wants to compete in a tournament up here he just has to hop on a plane, instead of making the 11 hour drive (he won't fly with models).
My force will be from the province of Nordland, so the troops uniforms will be mainly blue and yellow with some red here and there. To test out my uniform scheme I painted up a small detachment of handgunners. The parent unit and 2 detachments will all have the same pattern, with the second parent units and its detachments having a different pattern.
I have also added some photos of 2 wizards I plan on using. The Blue wizard I painted years ago for a Mordheim Norse warband, and now I have to go back and rebase him. The other was used for an Undead Mordheim warband. I think he can be used as either a wizard for the lore of Fire or Heavens.
Enjoy!
Looking forward to seeing these guys on the table, Tony!
ReplyDeleteDoes this mean a break from Chaos?
ReplyDeleteCan you ever really break from Chaos? I will wait until 8th ed to see how much different my Chaos army will be, but I have plenty enough painted for now. Red is also getting boring for me.
ReplyDeleteI always wanted to paint an Empire or Bretonnian army. Going to take my time on this one, but plan on getting at least one unit done per week. About 25% done first unit of swordsmen already.
