The Challenge
Build a new Oldhammer Army for no more than £30 (Sterling) or the local equivalent by August, was the challenge.
Progress (sort of)
So I ordered an "Army" of 10mm Medieval figures from Irregular miniatures (cost approx. £21 (Sterling) including shipping, in order to build a force from Bretonnia. Now I haven't actually played any Warhammer games but I have read some of the articles and looked at the figures in Games Workshop shops, so I've got an idea. Bretonnia is a sort of High Middle Ages France on amphetamines (there probably should be some Prog Rock playing now).
There's no hope of me painting all that heraldry but I'm going for a colourful Impressionist version (the impression of well painted figures without the reality).
I haven't got much to report so far but there's still a few weeks until August...
Two units of Knights and a General on Old School bases |
Good work and considerably more painted than myself for the challenge... I remember King Arthur on ice by Rick Wakeman which could perhaps be worked into the army?
ReplyDeleteCheers! YES with Roger Dean artwork and a bonus d6 for mystical synth work. How many hit points for Rick do you think?
DeleteSuperb work sir.
ReplyDeleteI love the basing style and the knights look excellent.
Thanks Sir Duc. Plain base - less is more etc, well less is less work for me anyway..
DeleteBeautiful knights Jack, they look the business.
ReplyDeleteCheers Mr Sprinks! Some way to go yet!!
DeleteI still have a sample pack of 10mm Pendracken medievals if they are any use to you?
DeleteThanks mate. I've got so many figures I don't know what to do with them all!
DeleteA good start to the challenge. The unit looks good.
ReplyDeleteThanks Peter. Hope to get some more done today (Sunday).
