Gott erhalte (Karl) Franz den Kaiser
This is important as a reference for me.
I will be posting my shoddy, awful, unpracticed progress here as an archive and personal reference. Also, to show off my disposable income.
The first of many. These take longer to assemble nicely than I thought, what with all the god damn filing down of the sprue edges and things.
MORE TO COME WHENEVER SORRY THIS IS A CRAP START BUT HERE WE GO

Whatever, Archaon was so babybackbitch that GW had to rig the Storm of Chaos campaign and still failed to get a chaos win.

Re: Gott erhalte (Karl) Franz den Kaiser
That said, these guys are clearly not using handguns, even in the historical sense. Handguns were operated by touching a lit match, by hand, to an exposed firing hole. These weapons clearly have a trigger, which makes them a different category of weapon altogether.
Re: Gott erhalte (Karl) Franz den Kaiser
The Sick Man of Europe has some p sick artillery.
EDIT THAT'S APPARRENTLY THE TSAR CANNON BECAUSE GOOGLE IS USELESS
Thanks for that explanation. The sniper looking dude's weapon is called the Hochland Long Rifle, so the word is plainly used in-setting. Meaning that Games Workshop just dunno what the hell they're doing, as per usual. I'm calling them riflemen and nobody can stop me
More bombards, cannon and superguns for personal inspiration - all of my artillery will be named.
Mons Meg, French-crafted gift to James II of Scotland.
Queen Elizabeth's Rocket Pistol, with a range of over 2000 yards. This is weird.
Dulle Griet (Mad Greta), Belgium's supergun.
Pumhart von Steyr, Habsburg Austria. The largest-known wrought-iron bombard by caliber.
THIS monster is apparently the Dardanelles Gun, which was used to breach the walls of Constantinople- and also, 500 years later, it was used to shoot at British warships with equal success.
Schwerer Gustav, Nazi Germany, WW2. The railway gun nobody ever knew was needed, and it also wasn't.

One unit of Handgunners, assembled and ready for undercoating.

Re: Gott erhalte (Karl) Franz den Kaiser
I loved so much to play Warhammer Fantasy and 40,000 back in the time... Missing the many friends I had in my PnP / Wargames Club in other city...
Thank you
Re: Gott erhalte (Karl) Franz den Kaiser
Undercoated first...
And basecoats...
Idk. Half-done, maybe. This feels awful except I am only working with the starter kit's worth of paints- I need variety so I can properly do edge highlighting, better skin colours, and a fine detail brush. Gonna pick one up tomorrow...

Given he's only half done, he doesn't really need to fret yet. Constructive instead of curt, eh?Norfildor wrote:Use washes.
Thin your paints a bit - Lahmian Medium is great for that, better than water in my opinion - and for not painting for years, you're doing great so far! Practice practice practice. And yes, fine detail brushes are totally your friend, along with whatever they call Gryphonne Sepia now, and Nuln Oil, though on those sorts of models you want to be stingy with how much of the washes you use.
A good solid drybrush is also advisable, given the amount of highlighting you'll probably want to do to ensure that the shading stands out.

Re: Gott erhalte (Karl) Franz den Kaiser
Okay so this guy's basically done because my skills cannot be improved by continuously assaulting a single, lone model. And so;
This chap exists, and has been basecoated thus far.
Progress is slow because I'm busy with work and, you know, this awful videogame called Arelith, but I of course found time to acquire eight more paints and two new brushes.

Thank you

The worst was standing screaming bayonet guy. With his rifle over his head. He can't even stand up on his own what the hell.grip wrote:For Christ's sake just give me more foot soldiers than special ones.

Those green armymen are fantastic. I once invented a turn based wargame using them. Assigning values and abilities to all the individual dudes. Good times.
Another day, another Doug.
Re: Gott erhalte (Karl) Franz den Kaiser
The initial issue I see would be paint failing to stick to the models easily - they'd need primed with white or black (usually). After that, well, probably fine. The details will be atrocious and the moulding lines are hilariously obvious but if, for whatever reason you want to paint army men, it should be okay.Coreybush11 wrote:I've never really gotten into miniature war games like Warhammer but all those pieces remind me of army men that you get for cheap in buckets at the dollar store. I'm not sure if they are very common in Europe like they are in the US though.
