Steam Tank complete!

First update on this blog for a little while. Well I've been painting other stuff so that's my excuse.

However I now appear to have my WFB mojo back (just in time to lose it for 2 weeks at Grantham) and have painted up a (plastic) steam tank.

This model is so much better than the metal pile of crud (of which I have two, and gave up on) that was previously available and was a joy to paint.

Painted in the city of Leister (Middenland) colours but with Altdorf shields showing allegiance to Karl Franz.

Without further ado:

An update!?! At last!

My Empire army has, once again, taken a back seat recently. However, after hitting a mental brick wall from painting my Menoth Cinerators I decided it was time to finish off the Teutogen Guard. I've gone with a glossy black armour, and they are all white-haired/bearded as fluff wise they are the Leister Old Guard, with the regular Greatswords being the Leister Guard etc.

So here we go. I'm still to finish the standard bearers. For some reason I've always struggled with banners, even ones that have the detail embossed. I'll go back to these at a later date.

Too much flash...

Stand to...

It's been a long time since the armies of Leister, Middenland, have marched to the sound of the drums but that time is now upon us once more. So, it's been a good 8 years since I last played Fantasy (for numerous, tedious reasons) and with the new Empire book released I figured why the hell not dust the old models off and let slip the dogs of war? This is the first in my spin off blog focusing solely on my Empire army. I have a lot of half painted models and a lot of models still on sprue like 5 boxes of militia... so it's going to be slow going, but I hope to get a painted army up & running as soon as I can. Anyway, here's some pics of what I've got waiting to be worked on:
