(WM/EA) Oathmans projects...
« on: April 19, 2011, 10:29:00 PM »
Hi all

Hve lurked around here for some time now and watched all the nice stuff people are doing. So now I thought that I would be put to the test and post some of my minis in a tred for you all to comment on  ;). At the moment I am having a go at some Warmaster Empires and they are really nice to paint in my opinion! I have also managed to get my hands on some old Epic Imperial Guard models that I like a lot. I am at the moment putting the pensil at them and will give you some pictures when I have any good ones.

So first out is my Empire Army for Warmaster. I have gone with a paint scheme for the Lands of Ostermark. All the baners are painted by hand since they are cast on the miniatures. At the moment I am building to reach 1000 pt. And are well on my way there and have one unit of knights and two units of pistoliers left to paint.

So here are some pictures:

A picture of one of my generals... (He often finds himslef being an objectiv at a tavern or something...)


The general I use in the battles, he walks like a man and stays with the infantry!


A light wizard.


Captain of the white wolf, a hero to help lead my cavalry!


The first unit of Halberdiers...

A close up of the banner!


Second unit of Halberdiers.

and a close up...



Two units of crossbows, one stand was damagde so the crossbowman fell of so this is what I did:



The flower of the Empire, the knights... these are from Ostland, a remnant from when I first started Warmaster many years ago...


Two pictures of the knights banner.


And the crazy people, you got to have them just for the miniatures!

And a close up.


Hear the cannons roar!




Well an army got to eat  ;D


And a group shot, the second crossbow unit was not ready when I took this shot.

Well that was all for now and at the moment I am painting some old Epic stuff and will return with pictures when I got some done. Will also put the knife on some more knights and pistoliers for the Warmaster army to!

Wunderbar!

Your banner are a source of inspiration. I am suffering with them myself, I started my own empire more than one year ago, but getting the banners right has been blocking me. Not even 1000 pts ready by now.

I particularly like the Ostland ones. The griffon is amazing, and so is the bull.

Please keep posting.

Your Ostermark troops look awesome (the Ostlanders aswell :)). I'm happy to see another great paint scheme as I'm still wondering how to paint my Empire army.
Btw nice banners!

Very nice work.
I would suggest that you make sure every fig without a helmet has dark lines to mark their eyes, that would definitely improve your army and that is very simple to do ;)

Excellent - welcome to the forum and well done for painting Empire to such a high quality - they're better than mine!

(Vincent - you're a serious painting nutter if you have to paint eyes on 10mm figures!!!!)

Sure I'm nuts ;)
But I'm only taking about painting a dark line where the eyes are. Believe me, that adds a lot to your army even when seen from 70cm. Its a bit like doing lining: it improved readability and help your army to stand out.

Every fighting man, orc, elf or whatever should have the basicneeds catered for !

a dry place to sleep
some warmfood to fill his belly
a hearty drink to boster his spirits
and a lusty wench to sheet his sword in ........

As my mates says the banners are superb. The look of the army has a lot of strenght.

Love this shephard with the sheeps!

great army, looking your pictures makes me want to start painting again :)
