WOW.

I'd be struggling to draw that, never mind paint it!

The terrible thing with Warmaster Empire is not that the banners are calling for a nice design. What really gets you is that once you've done a freehand on one side, you know you have the other waiting for you!

So here is Hässliche Betty, again! Up to you if you'd rather see this maiden's front or * ahem* rear view. ???

I think the front of the banner is an improvement, just to be picky. It's all very good though.

You're starting to encourage me to paint my Empire army- I had planned on painting them simply, but you're setting a good challenge.

Spectacular freehands, great job! Especially the frontside must have been fun. :)

And here comes the Reiksguard! Sorry, took the pictures under artificial light, get those glasses out  8)





and the banner, that the bretonian squire of my general described as De sable à deux épées passées en sautoir d'acier à la garde d'or sur une croix potencée de gueules frangée d'argent, le tout surmontée d'une couronne d'or, avec une banière portant le mot "Reiksguard" en lettres de sable ...

Another great looking unit and banner.

Are you going to make any more Talabheim or Talabecland themed knightly regiments? I'm looking for information on these guys myself. It seems they have Knights Panther, Knights of the White Wolf and Knights of the Blazing Sun, as well as the Order of the Black Rose and Templars of Taal. Information is pretty scarce on the last two.

Yep, next one on the bench is the black rose. I will skip the Taal templars though, these are relics in my version of the Empire. (Although I can see a conversion using the horns of the stags sold by Eureka for their wood elf 10 mm range).

You can get a couple of drawings of the black rose in the book on heralrdy of the Empire, and also, well hidden, in the Warhammer Role Playing Game 4th edition -  But both images differs: they are entirely black, horse barding, armor and lance, with white horses and red plumes in the RPG; Black barding, red lance, steel armor in the Heraldry one. Still undecided. The banner is lovely but will be difficult.

The panthers will follow, but I think I may not use the standard blue theme. Panthers are black and yellow after all. The challenge will be to differentiate them from the blazing sun...

I've only seen pictures of the Order of the Black Rose from 'The Empire at War', and the 'Uniforms and Heraldry of the Empire' has Knights of the Black Rose. Althpugh the names are very similar, they are two very different knightly groups going by the background. The Order of the Black Rose (black armour, red gauntlets) are honourable guardians of the count of Talabheim (previous bodyguard of the Empress).
Knights of the Black Rose (silver armour, red lances) are sell-swords and known for treachery, willing to switch sides during campaigns for the right price. The 'Uniforms and Heraldry of the Empire' doesn't really go into this, but it's repeated pretty often in other sources (a good summary of which is here: http://warhammer-empire.com/library/knightly-orders/).

I don't have any of the Warhammer roleplaying books, but I'd really like to know if they add any more details to the two knightly orders above (with their names being so similar I really don't know if they're the one group or not).

I like the stag horn idea for the Templars of Taal- I plan to make a unit of these guys in the far distant future and may steal the idea.

 :o Thanks for the clarification. I was not aware of the subtilities...Looks like somebody in the GW fluff department got his brushes mixed up to me... ::)

However, the two images I was referring to have the same banner, so I guess it is the same unit.
As for the background in the Roleplay edition, there are a few elements (one column per order) on the knightly orders, including the griffons, panthers, reiksguard, white wolf, the usual suspects. Nothing on the black rose (order or knights)...

It probably is just a mistake that there's a difference between Knights of the Black Rose and the Order of the Black Rose, but at least there's some difference in name. Poor old Knights of the Broken Sword have two very different backgrounds and lots of details...

Looking forward to see how you paint them (and probably stealing more ideas  :P)

Great Job! I like how you transfered the classic Reiksguard scheme on the 10mms. Fits them really well.  Plus the banners are awesome. Only con is your painting speed because I can't wait to see more.  :)

Thank you gentlmen, praise much appreciated. :)

I'll finish a batch of hallebardiers (probably from Boven?) before I turn to the Knights of the Black Rose. I have found a tutorial to sculpt heraldic roses, but the shields are so small, that I am afraid of going there... We'll see.

Cheers
