Hello, all! I've decided to take a break from 40k, and start an Empire army for KoW.

Here's some fluff I wrote for the army.

Dietrich Feuerbach stared at the man before him incredulously. He would not have given the man a second glance if this was a normal day, but this was far from a normal day. First, a Dark Elf attack, and when that was repelled a ragged band of men marching into his camp without a worry and claiming to have served under his missing father.
He frowned as he thought of his father, the Elector Count of Talabecland who had vanished one day, leaving no trace of his disappearance. Yet, before him was a man claiming to know where his father was. He often wondered how Helmut would have reacted to his illegitimate son, an accomplished warrior in his own right and the leader of his very own mercenary company. Well, he would find out soon.
“Ask the blacksmith to repair your weapons and have the tailors mend your troops’ uniforms. After that, report to Hans, commander of the Talabecland regiment. We march in a few days.” He stood and smiled. “Welcome to the Blackfeather Band, Herr Julian.”

Some of the WiP halberdiers. I've finished the skin tones using a new technique, and feedback is appreciated.
