Warhammer Empire Tilean Handgunner Regiment - Champion and Standard Bearer

So I've managed to get two more of the regimental command painted up the other day, the Champion and standard bearer for my Tilean handgunner unit.

The regiment's champion is Antonio Corvo, son of captain Lorenzo. I'll create more of a background once I've completed the regiment; I'm still not entirely sure how many models will make up the regiment at the moment but it'll be around 14.

The dwarf standard bearer is one of the White Knight/Assault Group range, sculpted by John Pickford. The standard adapted is from the old handgunner regiment box set accessories. The banner is altered from the War of the Roses Rhys Ap Thomas flag. Originally designed by Pete's Flags, I've added the green and blue regimental colours. The large raven represents Lorenzo, whilst the smaller one represents the son, Antonio.

I'm currently working on the drummer and a couple of the other members of the regiment. One is on the large size so they'll keep me occupied for two or three weeks or so.

Citadel Undead Diorama Remake - Phase Five

 

 So after four months break from the diorama and a dragon ogre palette cleanser, I've resumed the main project and have managed to wrap up the phase with the largest footprint. 

 It's important to incorporate height into a diorama and here we have the shrine that overlooks the graveyard. The shrine piece is the same as I used on the initial diorama project, which is from Scotia Grendel. 

 Three packs of milliput went into the hill and like the rest of the base, a thin layer of green stuff which is then textured. 

At the base of the hill is the wizard of the adventuring party. I used the high level Magic User model from the Advanced Dungeons and Dragons range. The pair of elves are troopers from the Regiments of Renown Skarloc's Elf Archers box set. Finally, I've used the classic Death Elemental figure, accompanied by a chaos familiar, lurking at the back, unnoticed so far.

 With all that milliput, it's beginning to get a little bit weighty but I'm on the home straight now and it's mainly just zombies to go, albeit a fair few of them!

Collaboration Project - Adventuring Party, ADD11 Female Magic User

 

 I can't believe this is actually the first model I've completed since early December. I've painted most days since then but just couldn't get anything finished. I must have about twenty half painted models cluttering up the desk from during that period. I've never known a time like it to be honest; making a promising start then running put of interest. 

 The other week I suggested to my good buddy Rochie over at Buried Under Lead, a collaboration project to help remedy my frustration. He was more than keen so we got the ball rolling.

 The plan is to paint one figure a week to make up a five model adventuring party. So here is my first effort:

 She is a female magic user from the classic Citadel AD&D range; the high level model from the packs of three miniatures that represented a character at different stages of experience. 

 This is a model I've been interested in acquiring for a while now so this was the ideal opportunity to grab one. It's always nice to have a figure turn up that I've never had in hand before and was impressed with all the little details on this one. 

 Part of the fun in this kind of project is deciding on figure selection. It didn't take me long to work out who was going to feature in this party. I'll reveal each week who's in as I finish them. The next one is underway and should be completed by the end of the week.

 I painted Gladius from the Heroic Fighters of the Known World set a while back (over a year ago actually - time flies!) and although he's not strictly part of this project, I'll probably include him seeing as he was intended for a small adventuring party such as this one anyway.
