Amazing - they'd look good in 28mm scale!

I thought I'd put up better pictures of the army so far...

Your army is just awesome!

How did you paint the red, the black and the armor? I am thinking about painting my empire in purple and black (and maybe some dots of yellow), but still dont really know how to paint the black part.

Absolutely stunning!  I wish I could get hold of some of those BOFA or EPIC ruins to add to basing. :-X

Deeply impressive.  The standards in particular make one almost weep with envy at both the underlying skill and the obvious investment of time and effort.

Wow, thanks! Not sure about the skill, but the right tools and 4.0 correction on both eyes certainly help :)

@Toon : Black undercoat, then heavy brushing of gunmetal all over the figures, then the cloths with Scab Red or Chaos Black, then one highlight with Red Gore or Charadon granite, then HEAVY wash with Devlan Mud. At this stage, the black is normally finished. I continue only on the reds, with again red gore, then Blood red and a final touch (very light, maybe only a point) of blazing orange on the top most points (typically the elbow/knee).

As for the armor, between the drybrush and the devlan wash, they look nice, I only do a finaly highlight with mithril silver (on the edge of the weapons for example).

Hope it helps. BTW, I tried the new wash that replaces devlan mud (agraxsomething I think), it works equally well.

And yes, I'm sloooooooooooow... but see for example the last banner (the halberds), both sides, only took me one sitting (maybe what, 40 minuntes? I can never stay much longer than that). Deciding what pattern/design is another matter (in this particular case, almost 6 months!)

While Holt continues mustering troops, on the opposite bank of the Talabec, the Elector Count Helmut Feuerbach has also raised his banner, and is calling upon his barons to prepare for the incoming invasion...

And the work on the banner of the Elector Count Feuerbach continues...



These are the different steps to paint the banner. The black outlining really helps to define the symbol...
