From SanderS: "I am Gregarius IV!" (50 points)

 Hoi,

One last Gregarius post as Greg has mightily inspired me to paint up one of my two units of Braganza's Besiegers for my Dogs of War Army. You can gaze at the magnificence of Greg's figures HERE. 

If you hadn't noticed by now I am a major Old World fan, have been since starting out in the hobby and soooo glad the Old World is back. As said elsewhere I have 3 factions I am building armies for (Dwarfs, Bretonnia and the Empire) but I have divided my Empire army in two separate projects: my Middenheim army (which is the vanilla army) and my Lustria themed Dogs of War, mostly featuring Conquistadore/ Italian Renaissance like figures. This unit belongs to the latter army.

While Greg chose to go with the Old Skool "official" GW colourscheme; he nailed the armour way better than the 'Eavy Metal team did back then. Now I want my force, at the least the guys wearing heavy armour, to have dark metal armour which I think is more brooding. 

I also knew I didn't want to depict Braganza's Besiegers themselves and thus had to deviate from the "canon" shield designs, a short Pinterest search came up with these awesome designs which I mostly painted on by hand, there are indeed some decals on there (mostly the animals) and these are from GW and a Roman Republican transfer sheet I had kicking around for my 1:72 troops. They work really well to get in that Italian Renaissance look I find.

The banners are still in the mail on their way over here, but I will make sure to post them here when they arrive and are fitted to the figures!

Points wise 10 figures in 28mm are good for another 50 points and I might yet have one more entry left to post later on...

Wonderful to see another Regiment of Renown get some love during the challenge Sander! You've done a great job with them and your diverse pavisse designs really make then pop - great stuff!
