This thread will follow the building, collecting, painting and playing of my most recent army project- A (mostly) mounted empire force based around a Knights Panther crusading force (honestly I just like painting blue and wanted a theme to paint to!). If any of you are on Twitter, you may have seen these around there already. So first up, a unit of 5 knights - reletively basic, 'tabletop quality' scheme. I've since gone back and added more clumps to the bases.    |

Then, I worked on all the characters one by one - to get them done. Grandmaster first, I love this model and always have! Done my best to get the eyes done too 👀 which I don't always bother with.   And then my mounted mage, I imagine him being a travelling hedgewizard, not necessarily permanently attached to the Panthers. Again pretty basic scheme, good from an arms length   |

Then a converted Captain on Pegasus The peg is a kitbash of Dark Eldar scourge wings on one of the newer pistoller steeds. the rider is a very old empire knight. Nice simple little model, looks ok on the table.    |

That's where we are for now - I have 12 knights on the painting table now - steeds are done and the riders are well on their way   Then the rest of the army is just 10 pistoleers, 4 Demigryphs and a couple of old cannons. Feeling very close to having this force done! ✌️ |

Well done. Fluff-wise, however, a hedge wizard would hardly be accepted by any Knightly Order. They would be looking for a Wizard of one of the Colleges of Magic. Hedge wizards (rightly or wrongly) have a whiff of Chaos about them, and that is not something the Knights Panther would be willing to stomach.

Agreed - maybe just a travelling wizard then, keen for adventure |

Have you tried praying earnestly and ardently to Sigmar? I am sure he would show you the way to salvation.
Create in me a pure heart, O Sigmar,
and renew a steadfast spirit within me.
Do not cast me from your presence
or take your Holy Spirit from me.
Restore to me the joy of your salvation
and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me.
Then I will teach transgressors your ways,
so that sinners will turn back to you.
