Makes sense. I remember pros and cons to running 16’s in 6th. They could be a bit fragile and of course being outnumbered (particularly vs Fear-causers) was a real issue. More units though! You're of course right about these weaknesses! I was trying to cram as many infantry blocks as possible so I ...

It sounds a bit wild elendor! I like your deployment option best. Do you generally run 16’s of Spears instead of 20’s? It was definitely not a standard battle! :lol: Regarding the two units of 16 Spears, I thought of using the fact that in 6th edition the combat bonus from ranks only requires ranks...

Long time no see! These holidays I brought my army home for some 6th edition fun :D One Saturday evening we had enough time for a 3-player battle as described in Warhammer Chronicles 2003. While the most famous battle of three armies is of course La Maisontaal Abbey, we decided to use the "stan...

Merry Christmas to all!

Hi! I came across this blog recently: http://beardbunker.blogspot.com/2019/12/the-border-princes-warhammer-fantasy.html and they provide a map campaign system which looks really fun to play, together with a map with hexes, icons for the factions, and a chronicle of the campaign played by the blog wr...

Thanks for the encouragement! :D I said it more in the sense of a new unit being more interesting to look at :lol: I am still deciding whether I am bringing my paints home for the Christmas break...But I am definitely bringing my models with me so I can play with some friends, hopefully this time I ...

I promise this is the last picture of Sea Guard, but I finally painted the quivers! https://i.imgur.com/eNK5xD5.jpg?1 My next steps for 2020: - Assembling and painting the Imrik and Dragon model that I got one year ago. - Painting 20 plastic Spears from the Last Sword kickstarter. - Painting 10 Silv...

Lovely models Shannar!
I particularly like the Warlord on Wyvern

No problem
Probably people have lost them over the years and that's why they're more difficult to find

Can you take a pic of those quivers? So I at least know what they look like. Looking at the catalogue Rod posted, it seems that I don't have all the different ones which were released, I only have these differentes types: https://i.imgur.com/oAejH2q.jpg?1 Btw the last link works Rod, very inspirati...

I was very lucky that I bought the metal Sea Guard second hand and the previous owner had all the quivers and the shields, so the models came with quivers. I think you might find them separately on eBay, people sell bits sometimes. I am not sure how difficult it might be to find the exact same ones.

I really like this style, very classic

The pictures from Ptolemy are absolutely stunning! =D> Thanks for sharing Rod :D The second link does not work in Photobucket unfortunately :( But the story behind it is great! I did the bases of the Phoenix Guard and took a picture with better light. https://i.imgur.com/kSM7Jmt.jpg?1 I should proba...

Thanks for the comments! :D I especially like your turquoisey Teclis elendor! I have become quite fond of turquoise for my army in general :lol: @Rod I sometimes fear I go a bit overboard with choosing colours, but it kinda works out :mrgreen: For Teclis I got a bit inspired by the T9A background. O...

I really what you've done with Tyrion and Teclis!

It's working well, though! I'm unfamiliar with that Teclis model, is it an older one?

Yes, it's the one released during 6th edition

Long time no see! Real life has kept me prety busy, but I have managed to do some painting recently. I finished Teclis: https://i.imgur.com/gpHfX3m.jpg?1 Then I painted this elf archer lady: https://i.imgur.com/EaOdPKz.jpg?1 And I finally continued my Phoenix Guard unit, some WIP below: https://i.im...

In the report he was specifically trying to represent a force defending a town in the coast from a Druchii raiding party, so he chose units he thought would be available in that situation

One of his Sea Guard units can be found here: http://www.coolminiornot.com/6117 Btw if I remember correctly Rob Lane also run the Sea Guard list during 6th Ravening Hordes (before the 6th HE book was released), and left it later since HE lost their Shoot in Two Ranks special rule :( Edit: I have jus...

Nice start! I'll be following

Good luck with the paint stripping!

P.S. That's a lot of Phoenix Guard

the lone Phoenix Guard has joined the Maiden Guard with the excuse that their cloaks look similar Well, if I had to chose a unit I would probably go with the pretty maidens as well. Though he might have some trouble with his pick-up line... ;) :lol: Thanks everyone :D It is indeed satisfying to see...

Prince of Spires wrote:Nice looking unit indeed. They have a nice "grubby" look to them, which makes them look like they have been through some serious battles.

My impression as well, they look battle-hardened!

Nice gift, those old Shadow Warriors, and getting new paints is also great

As I mentioned, some army shots! Whole panted army https://i.imgur.com/P4PugYq.jpg?1 The white and blue side: I made shields for the cavalry finally :) Unfortunately the banner of the Dragon Princes is broken and I need to repair it. I also painted more Archers, I only had 10 previously. https://i.i...

Thanks guys :D Maybe try a red wash on the skin and a black wash over the bronze to differentiate them further? They look great so far, Teclis is coming along nicely! That's a good idea, perhaps instead of black on the bronze I'd try an Agrax Earthshade wash :) Thanks about the Maidenguard, one of t...

starting to look great. You're quite far along with Teclis already. As for the maidenguard, I like them. They're nice models and I like the contrast between the more bronze / flesh colors of the front of the models and the blue of the cloaks. Rod Yeah I had some free time and I was motivated to sta...

I bring you my 4 Maiden Guard painted during Christmas!




And WIP on Teclis (you inspired me Rod )

This guy looks really old school!
I like how your army is coming together
Have you played any games with them recently?

Well I don't play (neither in 6th nor in T9A) units of more than 20 models! I prefer 2 units of 20 Spears than a unit of 40 in terms of gameplay, and luckily for me both 6th and T9A support my personal taste. But in this particular case I have 30 LSG because I bought them second hand from a guy who ...

Lovely models! And great paintjob, very characterful

tough choice. That female character is very lovely, but you can't really go wrong with Teclis of course. Looking at your list of models already painted I think I would go with Teclis. You could field him as a generic (arch)mage, which is useful to have for your list. So I think Teclis will be a mor...

Which one?

The 6th edition one (for reference: http://www.coolminiornot.com/393665).

I am thinking of a purple tunic and midnight blue cloak, or perhaps the other way around.
