Wsn't there a militia set for either the Empire or Brettonia, that would make suitable villagers? Had some pichforks and the like amongst the weapons.......Or was it the Mordheim sprues? Hmm, it's all geting grey and misty....memories fading.....

There were some Mordheim villagers, but I expect they're goin for piles of pennies on ebay these days.....

Cool thanks. I found what I was looking for at fenryll miniatures already though. But otherworld minis looks like a good place to pick up the random stuff too. If I ever need a cockatrice or a basilisk I'll know where to look now. Such a wide variety of animals.

I've got the empire militia set monkeytroll, but I don't want all my villagers to look the same. I get bored of painting the same legs and there's only 4 types.

Boris and Loris have rounded up a gang of their hunter pals and can now be fielded as skirmishers for the empire



And my first knight is ready for colour (I can't decide what colour though, need to look at some pictures of knights)

Tiny bowstings?! What would you make them out of? I've got some really thin wire that came off a wine bottle...

No defo just potatoes vallhalla - I wish it was a euphemism for something lighter. But we've got enough spuds for a year now so its worth it.

Thanks Doc, stitching...

Good Idea dystartes, It could be messy but I've got a steady hand, I'll practice on a spare bow.

I've a lot of boring hard work at the mo what with potatoes and everyone in my shop quiting at the same time so no updates yet. I had a very weird day yesterday, the shop seems to have picked up a mascot in the form of a racing pigeon, and everytime the boss chased it out it would come back in the other door and perch on my tills.

Also two of our staff just suddenly quit after both claiming to be ill for a few days, then an hour after they handed their noctices in some young people came in and said to me "we'd like to warn you that some of your satff have been stealing from you." "Oh right" says I, "you mean watsisname and watserface?(names changed to protect identity) That sounds entirely believable"

Persoanlly I don't think we sell anything worth pinching, but I suppose I'm in the minority there.

Sorry this wasn't about warhammerz. Cant be helped. I'm on holiday next week so lots of warhammerz soon. I've got a bright wizard in the post.

I'm brushing up my group photography skills to get me in the mood for painting. Getting these big shots is tricky with a small camera. I had to take it right under the skylight with two daylight lamps and a light tent made out of paper. Still not getting a very good level of detail, but its ok from a distance.

Yeah the regiments need a bit of filling out yet but before long it'll be an army. It was fairly unplanned at first but now I'm always on the lookout for old metal empire models or the new plastic stuff if its on-sprue.

There's a lot of painted modern plastic models out there for good prices, but I want to put the models together myself and get all the extra conversion goodies from the sprue.

My first knight is finished! I'm so pleased with it (considering its a battlemasters model I made it look good). I went for a knights panther scheme. Hoping to get some more panther knights soon. Will everyone just stop out-bidding me! 2hours to go on a nice group of four old metal knights panther with modern plastic horses. Fingers crossed etc. Its my birthday today so I might go ahead and wack a high bid on them. I got shoes, perfume, chocolate, wine and lead crystal wine glasses, so I'd better get the warhammer in myself...

You can drink the wine out the bottle, so stick the glasses up on ebay and get some figures

Happy birthday weets, no homemade wine this year? Your post seems far too intelligible for it to be blackberry wine o'clock which I was quite expecting by now


That is a lovely finish on the armour, there a touch of something else in with the armour wash? It looks almost pinkish in hue, suitable for a slaaneshi knight.......

Lurvely knight! I really like the purple and how it works with the yellow and blue. I never would have considered matching those three colors on the same mini.

And Happy Birthday too!

I suppose the metal areas do look a bit purple/pink. Its actually a very complex grey but it is tending towards lavender in the shadows and blue in the highlights. I think NMM is improved with a little subtle colour.

Thanks for the birthday wishes all. Monkeytroll I've given up on homebrew for a while as I've too many hobbies and that one encourages drinking. Been making blackberry crumble instead.

I didn't win the knights. Maybe next time. I got some knight horses though so I'll look out for some horseless knights.

You should try a more complicated blazon on your next night- So often the heraldry on miniatures is simple 2-color schemes, when often in real life they had quartered and barred and quarter-barred-champhered-chevroned mix'n'matches of a half dozen individual arms on their own coat.

Ok, but this was just my first ever knight so I took the easy route. I might get the chance to try that though Anvildude as I ended up ordering 8 new plastic empire kinghts last night. That's the second time this has happened, I must be starting to like new plastic or something.

Actually I'm feeling a bit rebelious and heretical over the vanilla thing of painting all the knights in a regiment the same colour. How much nicer it would look to have a glorious rainbow of hereldry. Then again if I ever need to sell up then a vanilla nights panther would be easier to find a buyer for. So I'm not sure what to do I'll decide when they get here.
