"Reiksguard Knights, your Emperor is calling! Death or glory await us, but if we die, we will die as warriors, with swords in hand, and there can be no better death than that." - Kurt Helborg motivation call - from Warhammer:Armies 8th ed
Kurt Helborg - Grand Master of Reiksguard Knights
Plans for January:
I decided to take one of the most iconic units of Oldhammer Empire - Reiksguards on foot. They are slow, they don't have good offensive or defensive skills, but they look impressive.
Realization:
I started month with huge entushiasm, although after week of paintwork I had two weeks of other activities.. And it means that last week was really busy ;)
My idea was not using contrast nor speedpaints. I forget how hard and time consuming is classic painting without modern cheats..
Final Gallery:
Sorry for quality of photos, taken in very bad light in last evening..
Points:
- Kurt Kelborg (147)
- 20 Reiksguard on foot [with FCG] (286)
February is short, but I would try to struggle with Moot forces (marked as 1)
Gift:
Impressive start to the challenge! That's a great-looking unit, led by an even more impressive champion!
ReplyDeleteThat's a lovely unit of knights! Great work on those feathers!
ReplyDeleteStunning! It mades me tempted to start an Empire army!
ReplyDeleteYour leader looks really great-as does the rest of the unit, in fact. A great start!
ReplyDeleteGood job on painting this iconic unit. The bad news is that you have set yourself a high bar for the rest of this OWAC!
ReplyDeleteLovely! For two weeks work, it's very impressive! Good luck with the moot
