Imperial Fists Army Photo

I decided, after my last model, to take an updated army photo of all my Imperial Fists. Here they all are in their glory.

I have no idea of the points, but I do have the following:

Anyways, thanks for looking.

Crawling back some motivation...

Apologies for the long hiatus! Work has been hectic this last month, so much so, that even my birthday could not take me from its embrace. Still, nearly on holidays so its time to try and get some hobby done. I realise that Warhammer Fantasy has essentially ceased to be, but I really like 8th, and I'm not liking the models, look or feel of the new Age of Sigmar, so I'd really like to keep playing 8th.

I've played Warhammer Fantasy from 3rd to 8th Edition, and really do find that 8th was the most fun for me. The End Times was interesting, though I thought they should have played it out longer, instead of rushing through it. Ahh well, its not going to stop me from playing on inthe Old World.

Anyways, slight rant aside, I have been painting some Empire. I have a few 8th Ed games coming up, and I wanted to try out the good old Empire.  I haven't got any close up's as of yet, simply due to laziness, though I do have a selection of models to show off. Best thing is, they are all very old metal models. The best kind!

 The force as is on a dark, small shelf.

 A better lit angle.

 Some old Reiksguard on foot. I have 25, so I might use them either as Swordsmen or Greatswords. Not too sure.

 Some old metal archers, and the new cool model of the Witch Hunter. Figure it would be fun for them to run around.

 Again, some old metal crossbows. The models did not come with the crossbows, so I think I got some historical metal crossbows from Foundry, as I had heard they fit perfectly. Which they do by the way. Of course I have a Bright Wizard there as well. The fact he is on fire (literally) appealed to me. Plus I can say all the Firebat lines from Starcraft as I play. Bonus.

A nice big unit of Knights Panther, my favourite and the most iconic unit for the Empire in my opinion. I have painted up a mounted BSB in the form of the new Ludwig Schwartshelm, and of course a mounted general in the guise of Valten. This unit is a nice 15 models strong, which is a good start I think.

I'll endeavour to get some close pics of the characters I have painted recently. I'm trying to get the Knights Panther a bit more presentable before their debut match this Saturday.

Thanks for looking!

Cheers!

Grimwald the Surly's Dwarf Throng

I thought it was about time I took another photo my my Dwarf Throng. It is rare that I see it all in one place, as it usually lives in its carry case, and only comes out piece meal depending on what I need for the game at hand.

It has taken a year and a bit now to paint this up. So not a bad effort at all. Of course there is still more things to add/paint up (when is there not?)

All told I think there is about 5k worth of points there. I realised after I uploaded the photo's that I forgot to include the gyrocopters. No doubt they are off doing recon.

Thanks for looking!

Cheers!

Warhammer Fantasy Dwarfs

Just finished my last few models of my miner unit. I always tend to paint in small groups of round 2 to 5 as I very quickly get discouraged when I have more to do. I also only have on my painting table what I am immediately working on at that moment, and everything else is out of sight. This helps me stay focused and from experience, the more models I have stacked up to paint, the more insurmountable it seems to me. Hence why I only tackle a few at a a time, though it does take longer to do.

These are the last of the miners I need to do for the time being. Hasn't taken me too long to do them.

What do you think?

Quite happy with them. Hrothmog also seems to approve (and fit in rather nicely). I attempted to add some more definition to the standard, by applying some wood grain. I like the results.

Now for the updated army shot. This is everything I have painted since September last year. So really 7 months of painting has given me this. Roughly about 2250 points worth of Dwarfs. Not bad I think!

All complete with their movement trays and everything. I feel very orgainsed this year. Now I just need to find the time for games!

What do you think? How long does it take you to paint a force?

Cheers!
