Empire Army: Knights

Some knights to add to the Empire Army. I'm still making my way through an old Warhammer starter army purchased many moons ago. Nice change of pace, most of the Empire foot troops are cheap and wear leather or fabric, these were mostly metal.

Quick and easy paint job, metallics and white with wash, everything else contrast paints

Try hiding that flag behind a tabletop hill!

 

April 2021 Count

After that stellar start to the year, things have really slowed down. This could be a problem as the first miniatures of the year were purchased in April and Warlord are about to release the second wave of Epic Civil War; I've ordered at least four boxes from that!

Painted: 96

96 Austrian Infantry (6mm)

Bought: 60 (Cursed City Set)

Lots of lovely sprues - Cursed City set

Yearly Count: +705

Imperial Fist Infiltrators

These well camouflaged (if deployed in custard) chaps are from the GW Shadowspear box set released in 2019. They finally had a date with a brush at the start of the year along with a Lieutenant from the same set.

Group Shot

Think this is a great sculpt, looks as if he's just dropping a grenade into a bunker

The lieutenant and a marine using his bolt pistol

The two sergeants

All of these were done with a contrast paint base coat over a cream coloured undercoat, which gives a real warmth to the yellow. Edge trim and metallics were completed with standard acrylic paints and the shoulder badges came from GW's Imperial Fists conversion kit.
