So I've got quite inspired to paint. the progress is much faster than with sculpting. As a result I've painted up a few more classical infantry men.
An attempt to add a Sky-Earth feeling have been given to the NMM.


And from behind:


So this might be my first finished row of Talabecland heavy infantry, have at least another ten minis to add i I should feel like it.
Please comment, I find it difficult to know how much to paint on them, and they are not varnished yet, as you may see, so there is still possibilities to add paint.

Okay, so here is the first shot of my very WIP first knight:

The horse is a bretonnian one, with green/grey stuff barding. The cloth is decorated to make it look more empire-esque. I left the back area untouched, if anyone should be interested in a tutorial.
The horse helmet is made using an old plastic night goblins head with beastmen horns. Both broke during an accident last week, and one didn't quite like the glue so it broke of again while I was sculpting...
The head and left arm is from the knight box. The right arm is from the old command sprue, with the lance from the general of the empire box. Lance point again the the spear men.
Shoulder armour is from the marauder box.

Still tons of sculpting to do. I have a few clues about the decoration in the barding, so suggestions are welcome. He will get a piece of cloth around his torso, and probably some more chain mail.

Please comment!

So here is a picture of one of my new Knights of the Black Rose.

The front part of the horse is based on the new Bretonnian steeds, and the rare part is from the old elven steeds. They actually matches up quite well size wise (at least with a batch of GS, as the elven steed has a thinner stomach).
The barding is made of grey stuff with some details in green stuff. Suggestions for the motif is very welcome! Chain mail and a cross has been added to make it look more empireish. The braided horse-tail is made of wire, green stuff and a beastmen braid.
The riders legs are from an old Questing knight, the upper body by GS, right arm from the old plastic commanding sprues (Looks a lot better when it is turned slightly away from the body imo) with a spear-point from the recent spearmen. Left arm is from the knight box (the only part that is, hehe), but the old visor has been swapped for a skull.

Please comment and criticize!

So Master's thesis done at last! 
And tomorrow I'm off to a metal festival to celebrate!

I will take some nice photos on the knights when I return.
In the meantime, a Teaser:

Was it Demigryphs? Must have miss-read... Anyway a prototype:
OOP Knight of the blazing suns riding an OOP Marauder Hydra.


Nothing is set in stone (nor glued). I'm not sure what rider to use, possbly a Knights panther. Will probably have to sculpt new legs for whatever rider it will be.

Anyone else who misses the rulebook where all kinds of monsters were awailable to in an Empire army?
Kind of got an urge to collect all Marauder monsters for a Demigryph horde...
