Empire cavalry army - The Red Knights of Reikland

I started this army because I love the idea of an (almost) all-cavalry Empire force... but I just don't know that I'll find the time to paint it since I'm still working on my two primary armies (Dwarfs and Wood Elves). Since I'd like to expand my Wood Elf army, I thought I'd see if I can either trade this Empire army for a Wood Elf army of similar size, or sell it so I can pick up the rest of the pieces I want for the Wood Elves.

The army is large enough to field a legal 6000-point list, and is almost entirely assembled. All models have magnetized bases and movement trays (sized for the units as listed below). Each of the Knightly Order units has a distinguished look because all Knights in that unit wears the same helmet and carries the same shield.

Almost everything has been primed with Army Painter Dragon Red. My intention was to have all of the horses' barding remain red, along with all the knights' shields. On the few models that are painted, the red shields with black crosses and white outlines really look sharp (think Red Baron).

However, one thing to note is that all of the models were primed in the Georgia humidity... so all of them have a slightly rough or grainy texture rather than a very smooth feel. It hasn't affected the look of the models I've painted, but this is something you should definitely be aware of if you're thinking about buying or trading for this army.

Unless stated otherwise, these are assembled and primed Dragon Red:

Retail value of the army is $1200. I will trade $200 in your favor for Wood Elves (i.e., a WE army worth $1000), or possibly more if most of your models are unassembled or bare. I will also sell for 50% off retail, or $600 plus shipping.

I will NOT split the army up or sell off individual pieces, because if I can't add to my Wood Elves, I'll keep the Empire army and get around to painting it eventually.

I may also have some Battle Foam trays that I can sell/trade with the army as well. I'll have to check to see exactly what I can spare.


WANT

Wood Elves

Looking for a Wood Elf army swap... will trade in your favor, $1200 of Empire for $1000 (or possibly even less depending on what you have) of Wood Elves. Will also consider partial trades plus cash.

High priority models include Lords/Heroes, Eternal Guard, Wardancers, Waywatchers, and Tree Kin (preferably metal).


PayPal

Will sell the Empire army for $600 plus shipping (50% off retail).
