Finished…I can’t
be finished; I have more minis to paint!
Congratulations to
everyone who completed the OWAC lll. Well done. To Those who fell behind I say
try again and keep painting.
This was my first
OWAC but hopefully not my last. I found following everyone’s progress
inspiring. I personally feel I’m the winner as I have the Empire army I’ve
always wanted (well, the first half at least) ready for BOYL.
A hearty thanks to
Iannick for all the hard work. Your payment will be posted shortly good sir.
I’ve concentrated
mainly on the 3rd Ed. requirements for the first half of force with
a couple of additions for flavour. And now for some more storyline…
Von Krueger walked
through the camp with a sense of purpose. The dour look on his face shocking
his men. Moments after entering the command pavilion a messenger began informing
all officers of an emergency meeting along with the request of the entire
company to gather.
A hush fell over
the men as the officers quietly spoke. After a short discussion von Krueger
addressed the Sons.
“The Duke of
Margritta is very pleased with our success in stopping the invasion from Cantonia.
We have provided the Duke with the time he needed to raise a defence force to bolster
the border patrols. Well done men!!” despite the good news the men were still
silent. “During our meeting the Duke handed me a letter bearing the seal of Kreutzhofen.
My father has informed me of increased Orc activity in the Black Mountains. The
green skins have been raiding The Empire and Solland is at risk. The last three
years have been very lucrative for us and our victories have made allies here
in Estalia and beyond. I’ve had the honour of fighting and living alongside of
the finest men Solland has to offer. The time has come for us to return to Solland.
We will return to our homes, families and friends. We will drive the green scum
back to the dingy holes from which they came.” A raucous cheer raised amongst
the men. When order returned von Krueger continued “The Duke has graciously
offered one of his ships to carry The Sons up the Black Gulf to Matorea. From
there we will follow the Tona Dante to Mortensholm, take the Winters Teeth Pass
and arrive home. We leave in three days but tonight we celebrate our victory!!”
Again the throng cheered followed by chants of Solland and victory.
Von Krueger
returned to his officers to start the preparations.

The planning has
begun for the second half of my Empire army…
The shields and the banners really make a big difference. Love the strong theme and the yellow and white combo. Bravo!
ReplyDeleteWonderfully painted army! It will look so great on the board in a battle! Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteWait a minute. Where's the picture with the proud owner of this army?
ReplyDeleteYeah?! Where?
DeleteYellow and white! Such a brave and strong choice, and it looks magnificent! Congratulations!!
ReplyDeleteI also join in the cries:
"Where is your 'self portrait with army' eh?"
Either way - top job!
So bright and clean. I love them.
ReplyDeleteI also love that they're owned by a ghost. You go, ghost.
I love those banners!!
ReplyDeleteYellow and white are hard colors to paint and you did a very nice job on your Empire with those colors. Awesome job.
ReplyDeleteExcellent work! Congratulations on completing the challenge!
ReplyDeletei can only the sentiments of our fellow OWACers. This army is taken to a higher level again by your superb banners! The army looks fabulous and the banners do what banners should, mark out the units and significant models within the unit. I hope you are very proud of this army - i would be!
ReplyDeleteGreat job! Such an impressive army, and the banners and shields are the icing on the cake.
ReplyDeleteReally well executed, with a really nice cohesive colour scheme.
Striking colour scheme, and bonus Oldhammer points for the narratives :)
