Blås attack;
Se till hans fana!
Följ eran kung,
Rid uti strid!


Blow the attack;
Follow his banner!
Follow the Emperor,
Ride to battle!
-A translated Middenlander war-cant

"As a general rule, I seek to the utmost not to wage unjust wars, but in a war I feel is just, I shalt be victorious no matter the cost."
Harvus Ulric, Imperial Claimant and Count of Osterlund

"In the past, I have been reluctant to throw our might behind Magnus, whom they now call 'the pious'. But let the arch-enemies of the White Wolf, one and all, know that today, in the name of our traditions and our freedoms, we take the battle to them!"
Ar-Ulric Kriestov, during the Great War against Chaos

Starting this off with my Knights Panther painted thus far. I'm a big fan of the Empire's pike and shot aesthetics, particularly in Middenland/Middenheim's blue-and-white scheme. But there are a lot of other good schemes in the Empire provinces, too. So naturally, for TOW, I'm doing Osterlund.

These Knights Panther's bardings are done in a more desaturated blue than the old studio models; it's AP Fanatic Night Sky or something to that effect. The faces are done by basing in Cadian Fleshtone, washing with Reikland (ironic) Fleshshade, then mixing up a highlight of AP Ruby Skin + Opal Skin 50:50 or roughly thereabouts. Armor is Leadbelcher washed with Nuln Oil and highlighted with Ironbreaker (if I feel like it), while the gold bits are Two Thin Coats Dragon's Gold washed with Reikland.
