Warhammer Tilean (Empire) Mercenary Spearmen - Second Rank

Since taking a break from the chaos army, it's taken a few weeks to decide on what's next. After a couple of ideas were attempted without success, I decided to get back to a project I last worked on four years ago, my Tilean mercenary spearmen.

My Tilean mercenary army has been an ongoing project for several years and it's been great to revisit after so long away from it. I do love painting empire troops but they always take me so long so that's probably why it's been such a slow burning project.

As you probably can tell, the second from right is not the real Nuln spearman but in fact a proxy sculpt by Geoff Sims of Oakbound Studios. It's a damn fine tribute to be fair.

The dwarfs are from The Assault Group dwarf range (formally White Knight) by John Pickford and are an absolute joy to paint. This is the first time I've worked on this range and have quite a few in the lead pile so there are definitely plans for more.

The other models are two from the 90's Empire spearmen range and lastly, on the far right end, Edmund from the earlier Citadel F4 Men At Arms range who works quite well as a young lad, yet to receive the regimental black armour.

So I've one final rear rank to complete the regiment but I think attempting them straight away would be a little overwhelming as they take so long but I'm sticking with the Empire theme and am currently working on a command group for another regiment.
