Great army so far. Highland miniatures got some nice sculpts, but it's a challenge to size them properly.

So the one thing I didn't manage to get finished in time was the hellblaster - I'd half-completed the thing, but now it's done I'm really quite pleased with the finished effect! If only I had some painted crew to go with it!

Nice color scheme on that one. Mine looks rather boring in comparisson Btw, if you are looking for some Militia STLs, "Mercenaries and Militia" from ReptilianOverlords do work quite well.

Looking great. It's not easy to make yellow look good, but you've nailed it.

So you prefer them with the brown lipped or green lipped bases?
Either way squad looks great.

Hi all. Its been some time since my last update, but I've not been sat there in my chair idle! After a short break I'm back in the saddle.. this time getting round to painting up a unit of knights. The models are from Highland Miniatures & look stunning, but do be aware they're a little brittle. I've had to re-glue the standard at least once :s I've a few more bits partly done that I'll update on when I get chance

These guys look really good: the colour scheme works well, and the paint job is clean and crisp.
You can also see a clear progression and improvement from previous miniatures.
Absolutely a great job

Who doesn't like a huge horde of infantry? I've been painting halberdiers like a beast recently & I reckon I've got through around 25 in the last 3-4 weeks, bringing my total up to 50 including 2 standard-bearers. It's kinda hard to get a good picture of them, so here's a snap of the 50 all-together (I've removed the 2nd standard & replaced with a captain model) Then I've broken them down into 2 units, the first with 'star' type shields: And the second with the quartered shields, which I do prefer- I think it feels more 'medieval' Cant wait to field these... my plan is to have around 200 done in the end, so I cam field 2 x 100 unit hordes in the 'meat grinder' tactic 😀

Who doesn't love a good army shot? Decided that as a lot of the painting I've been doing is 'bulking out' units I've already taken pics of, I'd update on the state of the army. I must admit, all ranked-up like it does, its really starting to feel like a proper force enjoy!
