JamesP's Empire Army Part 2 - Intro

…and I’m back!

Here I am again at my second OWAC eager to complete my Empire army. But enough about me, let’s get to it. I’ll be adding this year’s entry to my entry of last year.

Upgrades:

3 Hohensknechtes – 111pts

·        Lance, Hand Weapon, Heavy Armour, Shield, Barding

Additions:

Olin: Level 15 Wizard – 155pts

·        Hand Weapon

10 Bergjaeger – (champion) – 140pts

Estalian Mercenaries:

Gregorio de la Cruz: Level 20 Hero (Mercenary Leader)– 113pts

 I'll be using Warlord Games Defenders of Malta as Estalian Mercenaries. They size up well and have a dynamic pose that I like.

Coming in at a total of 100 pieces on the table and 114 minis to paint I have my work cut out for me. My plan is as follows.

Month 1 – 24 Spearmen

Month 2 – 24 Spearmen

Month 3 – 18 Pikemen

Month 4 – 10 Archers and 10 Hand gunners

Month 5 – 12 Cavalry

Month 6 – 2 Command

And here's the payment to the tax man

I’ll also be painting a FF1 Fiend during the challenge as an addition to our benevolent overlord’s collection.

I’ll provide a bit of fluff here and there as I love a bit of story to go along with my armies.

The stage is set.

Good luck to everyone and brushes at the ready!!
