End of the Empire

At least in terms of painting.....

This is end of this painting project, which I honestly thought I'd have knocked over a few years ago (but then again, all painting projects are probably like that. This one started (as a guess) over 10 years ago; before university, which put a massive break in my hobbying.

Whilst I've enjoyed painting Talabecland colours yellow is one of the most frustrating to paint, and will probably not be as prominent in future painting projects.

All up the army includes:
- 12 Characters on foot
- Five mounted characters
- 30 Greatswords
- 130 State troops with hand weapons (halberdiers, swordsmen, spearmen, full commands)
- 40 State troops with ranged weapons (crossbows, handguns, full command)
- 20 Archers
- 20 Flagellants
- 30 Knights
- 12 Pistoliers
- Six Demigryphs
- One Steam Tank
- Five war machines: two Cannons, two Hellblasters and one Mortar (and 15 crew)
- Three buff wagons: Hurricanum, Lumiark, War Alter

All for a grand total of 329 minis of varying sizes.

Whole army shot


Left flank, infantry blocks


Center, characters and buff wagons




Right flank, cavalry and ranged units




Wound tokens


Unit / group shot times








  





Painting for early next year will be to finish of the rest if the Infinity minis.

New year, new post (2022 edition)

Well, somehow its 2022. No idea where the time has gone, I'm still mentally stuck in March 2020. Painting has been slow recently, but I ...
