I started to work on my Empire army again, but I’m lacking motivation, so I thought it would be a smart idea to start a painting blog.
But it’s not going to be a standard Empire army, that would be too easy. It’s an army from the Moot. So lots and lots of Halflings! YAY! When the army’s finished I should have painted about 200 of the little guys!
The army is not going to be a game winner, but it should look cool on the tabletop!
It should look a little like this:
Hopfully I’ll be working on this army a little this week, and I’ll try to keep this blog up to date
Very nice…I have an empire component to my “other” army and would love tot add some halflings. Are those all GW sculpts or are you using some of the nice new ones from battle forge?
Wow you actually finished the army on time! thats some sweet production skill!!
How did the tournament go?
Bolg
It was pretty fun.. finished third.
First game I got to play against Skaven. 28 Stormvermin with a Ratling Gun, 50 Skaven Slaves, some Globadiers and a Warplightning Cannon. He managed to kill my BSB and half of the Greatswords unit, and I wiped out his army. Crushing victory for me.
Second game played again another Empire army. He fielded 40 Halberdeers who stood still next to a Hellvolley gun, and a unit of 10 Outriders. Not really a fun game for me, since I had to walk forward and got shot to pieces. When I finally got to the Halberdeers I managed to break them, and overrun in his Hellvolley. But the next turn he actually hid the fleeing unit with his general behind his arm so I forgot to charge it. So -100 sportmanship for him, but since it was a recruit-tournament and was more about playing games than winning actual prices I didn't feel like making an effort to whine about it..
Final game vs. Dwarfs. 10 xbowmen, 10 Handgunners, Cannon and 25 Hammerers. I finished off most of his army except 2 Hammerers, and I only had my Greatswords left.
Final assesment of the day. 50 Free Company + Lore of Beast signature spell (+1S, +1T) is awesome! Mortar can cause a lot of pain.. when it actually manages to hit which it didn't all day... :/
And now some good news. With a few touchups on a couple old Archers I painted some time ago, and finishing the freehands on the banners, I can field 1000 points of sweet painted Halfling fun!
Halflings have their own Steam Tank of course, but the standard version is waaaaaay too big for these cute little fellows. So they have their own model:
Still WIP of course.
