Flamboyantly Dressed German Mercenaries

 

These guys are the Shotte portion of a Pike and Shotte army. They can also be used for Warhammer the Old World. I’m not sure when they’ll see the table. There are just so many to paint. Good thing this hobby is a long term thing.

Warlord Games Knights for Pike & Shotte + Old World

I haven’t painted a large unit of metal models in a long time. Sure I’ve painted the odd metal miniature,  but nothing compares to the weight of a full squadron of metal figures. I plan to used these for both Pike and Shotte 15th century wargaming and Warhammer the Old World.

Pike & Shotte & Old World

 The success of the old world in my area had me looking at alternative armies for the factions not yet supported. Fortunately, Warlord Games makes a whole range suitable for the Empire. I might even play Pike & Shotte as well. I think that is one of the side benefits to Warhammer coming back. Interest in historic games gets a signal boost.

Gauls For Hail Caesar

I've been having fun using speedpaints to paint miniatures that I might otherwise not paint. Speedpaint is just satisfying to use. I am a long way off from having enough models for a Hail Caesar game, but progress is being made. Now the questing is whether I keep painting models for this army, or I start my Italian wars Pike and Shotte army. The temptation is to just flitter around like a magpie. 

Warhammer The Old World Empire Cannons

 

With my Bretonnian army completed, I started working on the Empire of Man. It looks like GW borrowed the asthetic heavily from the German Landsknecht forces of the 1500s, so I painted accordingly. I wish I hadn't used purple since that was not common, but it was within reach so it got used. For my pikemen I will try to stick with yellows, blues, greens, and reds. 

Warhammer the Old World

 This little diorama is failed print that I just kept painting. It was really fun despite all of the printing flaws. I can recommend Highlands Miniatures wholeheartedly.  

Ultramarines Razorback/Rhino

This was a really fast and fluid paint job. I didn't worry about precision, but just let paint go where it wanted to go. I'm happy to finally have a 'modern' rhino in my Ultramarines force. 

 

Redemptor Dreadnought

 It has been a while. Behold! A dreadnought.
