After building the Burgomeister's Mansion I thought I should probably start collecting an Empire army. Here are a few examples of work so far.
Hakon's Handgunners
Hendrik Hakon was the Ferlangen Flintlocks regiment's sharpest shooter until he was dishonorably discharged for having a fling with the regiment commanders wife. He travelled back to his home town and joined the Burgomeister's garrison. He bought with him the professionalism, skills and customs of his previous regiment, hence the skulls and bones. His cartridge monkey is called Inky.
A witch hunter with retinue
from left to right; duellist, warrior
priest, witch hunter, The gunslinger and the arbalist.
Rutgar the Aged
This wizard has been a grey wizard for a very long time but has never managed to progress beyond the rank of novice, despite having a plethora of scrolls and books of spells. His 'familiar' has no magical ability, although Rutgar is convinced he has, and is just a plain old grey monkey named piffpaff. Despite this wizards ineptitude he makes for a handy dispel caddy for the other wizards.
This model is a kitbash. Head, hood and book in hand from wizard kit. Body from huntsmen, Pouch from pistoliers. Books, key, skulls and scrolls from flagellants. Monkey and vials from gunmen state troops.
The back banner was inspired by a warrior priest here http://www.puttyandpaint.com/
I came across this whilst looking at We7's work on the Warhammer Empire Forum.
This model is a kitbash.
Flagellent legs, Knight arms and torso with sculpted collar, cloak from general
kit, skulls and bell from flagellant kit, hammers from infantry kit with skulls
added.
Baron Vultan, estranged from his homeland
has sold his services to the Burgomeister.
Greatsword
First model for paint test for Ostland colours. With the colours I am going for a weathered/field worn look.
This piece was created to add narrative to the hand gunners unit, the second rank.
Another wizard, this time Amethyst, based
on Martin Footit's wizard in White Dwarf.
