Just a quick update to show you all what I'm working on. Started block-painting the figures using references in old Warhammer Empire books for inspiration. About half are done, so far. They'll get the usual Minwax stain treatment once the initial painting is done. Hopefully, the stain won't overly obscure the details - particularly the cuts and slashes on the clothing. Interestingly, the pikes (and figures for the most part) match up very well with the Perry Mercenary ones. I may someday get a box of each and see if their heads and arms can be interchanged.
Lovely work as always, I've donea couple of pikeblocks mixing Perry plastic mercenaries box and Warlord plastic landsknechts, entirely compatible!

I've seen your figures Iain. Very inspiring! Warmest regards, Dean
DeleteLovely landsknechts, there is alliteration allowed, yes?
ReplyDeleteLol! Landsknecht...easier to spell than to pronounce. 😀 Kindest regards, Dean
DeleteFantastic work!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Michal! Warmest regards, Dean
DeleteLovely figures Dean, I'm assembling a box of them myself. I had a larger Landsknecht collection but had to sell them, rebuilding my forces slowly now. If you search the 'landsknechts' tag on my blog, you can find a few pics where I mixed the Warlord plastics with parts from both the Perry foot MAA and mercenaries boxes. Also the missile troops box has some variety in pose if you would like to try them out.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Andrew. Will definitely check out your work. Best regards, Dean
DeleteNicely done Dean, you e encourage me to have a game sometime with my Empire force ?
ReplyDeleteThanks, Matt. The last time I used my Empire guys were with Dragon Rampant. Worked nicely. Warmest regards, Dean
DeleteGreat work so far Dean!
