MiniHammer (Warhammer In 10mm) Empire Project

That looks the business, eat lead Chaos scum

On that, I look forward to seeing some Chaos Scum!

[d_Guy]

Definitely reminded me of a painting on canvas

I think you have it! The palette and highlights seem to give that effect.

Paul B, the organ gun really hits all the points I consider in evaluating a piece (as expressed in a detailed and esoteric exposition elsewhere on the forum) - a great piece of work.

Great work on the gun !

Cheers - Phil

Your units look fairly amazing.  Very nice!

But I can't imagine doing figure removal at 10mm.

Welcome to the Forum Paul and nice work as well!

Thanks everyone

Haha, you may see some in time, although it might be a while. In fact, although I wanted to do this project anyway, another motivator was to enable my brother and I to play warhammer again as we did when we were teenagers, so I fully intend to put together an opposing army. He used to play Dark Elves, but always expressed an interest in Chaos and they do seem likely allies, so maybe I'll do a bit of both.

Thank you!

Thanks! Yeah I can appreciate that might be offputting. Of course technically there's no reason why the game can't be played with mutlibasing and just using wound counters.

Admittedly I have not yet played a game, but so far at least in handling the miniatures I don't find it too bothersome. I did try individual basing and that was a pain, but two per base actually makes it a bit more manageable.

Welcome to the Forum Paul and nice work as well!

Thanks Leon! And thank you very much for your excellent and accommodating service with all my faffing over custom orders

If we all curbed our waffling and discussion of esoteric detail this forum would grind to a halt

You have to mention Centurions regularly to retain FSN/Nobby's attention

Definitely reminded me of a painting on canvas

Haha, good to know! Great that it has that effect  .

Hopefully have another unit of Halberds and the Great Cannons done soon...ish

Only just catching up on the forum - so probably only going to echo what's already been said!

The units look really good, its great to see a different style / approach to painting wargames figures. And you are going for nice big units, which always look good too. I like the variety of figures you have used too, which is probably needed to get the Warhammer Empire style going.

Looking forward to seeing more.

Welcome dude.

I love the mass effects of the units you have painted - looking forward to seeing images of the whole army when you are done

Great gun

Great job on these miniatures, it really captures the grimdark feel and look of the WHFB universe. The painting quality is superb on a regimental scale, as the whole unit fits together. Just shows what a good wash on accurately basepainted miniatures can do, are you adding any highlighting after the wash?

Looking forward to see more of your creations and especially curious to see heroes hit the battlefield!

Hey thanks for this, sorry I didn't respond sooner have been absent from the forums for a while! Glad the minis and painting are hitting all the right notes, it's really rewarding to hear the look I'm trying to convey is coming across loud and clear!

In terms of highlighting after the washes, all I can say is it varies depending on the colour/surface, metals for example I tend to finish with a final shiny silver highlight. Similarly for pale off-white, beige, grey and sepia tones I tend to do the same sort of thing.

This project has taken a back seat for a while but I'm back at it now. I've repainted some of the halberd hafts for the units already seen, as well as finishing the first unit of the Black Company and a battery of Golden Company Great Cannons.

Currently working on two more halberdier units, one each for the Black Company and Gold Company.

Without further ado, the cannons to start:
















Infantry of the Crimson, Black, and Golden companies respectively:













I find taking good photos of minis tough generally but 10mm really takes the biscuit!

Very Blanche-esq colour schemes, like those.

No images showing for me I'm afraid (possibly due to using Firefox given that Google Chrome was playing silly buggers )

[Fenton]

I can't see them on Chrome

[Ithoriel]

Those aren't standard image links so I'm guessing you need whatever they were created by to see them.

Paul.B are you linking the page they are on rather than the image? You need to view the image itself and link that.

In Firefox I'd right click the image on a page, do View Image then right click the new version of the image and click Copy Image Location. Normally it will be a filename with a jpg or png extension these days.

No idea if that helps any!

Oh dear, that's annoying that some people can see them and others cannot. I tried using the images from my Google Photos with a direct link as I've got rather fed up of the drawn out process of uploading and linking via Flickr. If I view the page in Incognito mode I can't see the images either. Anyone know what the problem is? Alternatively anyone know another image hosting site that's really simple to use?

[paulr]

I can see some of them, first one gives error picture, rest of the artillery is fine

I've had a look and can't see any significant differences in how the links are done

Is there any chance some of the pictures have been moved?

Couldn't see most of the infantry before posting this, can now see all of them
