Warhammer Old World Campaigns (4) - Empire Army Started

As I continue working through all my "catch-up" posts, these are the start of my Empire army for Warmaster and various other mass battle fantasy rulesets we're trying for the Old World Campaign. 

My goal for this army is to have it encompass all the various provinces and principalities of the Empire so that if I ever wanted to, I could expand it and have different Electors fighting each other. An added benefit of this plan is that it is going to be a VERY colorful army. A disadvantage to this plan is that it takes bloody forever to paint a unit! But, I think they're turning out ok.

First up we have a unit of Averland Pikemen. 10 figures per base. I'm quite happy with how they turned out! Pendraken 10mm Landsknecht Pikemen as proxy.

Next we have a unit of The Reiksguard. A lovely unit of heavy cavalry. 10mm Pendraken.

Finally we have a unit of Altdorf Greatswordsmen. Very very pleased with how they turned out, though I need to get better at freehanding 10mm flags and banners. 10mm Pendraken Landsknechts. 

I have a ton more units to paint for this army, but as noted above - they take a bit of time. I hope you're enjoying this project as much as I am!

Greetings and Happy Halloween! These Lizardmen were finished way earlier in the year; apologies for not getting them up sooner! 

A mix of GW Warmaster figures and Pendraken 10mm figures proxying.

1x Unit of Terradon Flyers.

2x Saurus Heroes.

1x Unit of Temple Guard.

3x Units of Skinks, Skink Shaman, and 2x Skink Heroes.

2x Units of Cold One Riders.

4x Units of Saurus Infantry.

3x Various Slann Mages to give me variety of choice. 

Still enjoying the 10mm projects; and the Pendraken figures are absolutely brilliant! Tons more to do!

Warhammer Old World Campaigns (1)

 Beginning: 

In days past, when life was just the slightest bit calmer - The Empire attempted to begin colonizing The Southlands. 

Thus the city of Sudenburg was founded. Eventually, the province of Antoch, and the Tuskar Plains were added to this colony of man. But, as wars came and the resources of The Empire were stretched thin, humans had to withdraw somewhat. Now, the Tuskar Plains are a lawless, ungoverned place; and Antoch has been abandoned to Araby.

Meanwhile, the Tomb Kings rise and begin to move towards conquest, while the Lizardmen begin probing northwards. Skirmishing has been noted in the Tuskar Plains, and tis only a matter of time before the armies of the Kings and Lizards meet. 

We’ll use this as a jumping off/test point for rulesets. Small battles in the Tuskar Plains that at this point don’t have any bearing on the campaign but allow us to narratively explain our rules testing.

We’ll be trying out -

Kings of War

Warmaster
