From Millsy - Warhammer Fantasy Empire Handgunners (60 points)

Hello All!

I think I may have discovered the absolute least effective way to earn points in a Challenge... painting Renaissance style uniforms. These have taken me the best part of two weeks to paint and although I wasn't slaving away every night I have put a good few hours into them.

So these chaps are the second unit for my fledgling Warhammer Fantasy Empire army, in this instance a unit of handgunners to serve as guards for the Artillery Train of Nuln. I've continued with the grim, hardened vets look I used in my artillery crews.

I'll preface the photos by saying these might be the worst photos of minis I've ever taken but it seems Summer has finally quit here and it is raining heavily.

I don't think there is a single mini in the Empire army of this era which I don't love. Each and every sculpt is just wonderful and a joy to paint.

Next up is a unit of Reiksguard Knights. In armour. That means NO crazy uniforms. Woot!

Cheers,
Millsy

I agree with you on both points Millsy, this period of GW models was wonderful AND painting Renaissance figures is one of the worse ways to accrue points, especially Landsknechtes and Gendarmes. Thankfully it's not all about the points, eh? ;)

These are fabulous Mr. Mills. The colours are punchy and varied, yet they still have a cohesive palette that tie them in with your artillery. Lovely work. 

I look forward to seeing your upcoming Reiksguard.
