The four Grenadiers!

Another small update, I've managed to spare some time away from various other worldly things to finish off four Grenadiers tonight, these guys are all ready for priming and paint now!

As you may be able to see from the pictures, these guys fully consist of; a hand gunner body, arms and handguns with smoothed and drilled out barrels, affixed bayonets, headswaps, greenstuffed sigmar scrolls, cuffs and (wrist and boot), tassels and feathers to caps and field backpacks including canteens and short sabre in scabbards!

Small Grenadier progress!

Another hour or so has been spent on the grenadiers tonight, adding Epaullete's, tassels and Sigmar scrolls! I've still yet to finish those couple of bits and they all still need affixed bayonets too though!

As you can see, they are a lot more bulkier than the handgunners, I wanted to do this to ensure they show the extra bulk for their save characteristics whilst on the board!

Arriving in style - The Empire General.

Well here we go, after originally purchasing the general of the Empire model and not being too happy with it at all (I can't help but dislike how bulky he is) I decided to make my own from a Handgunner and a Pegasus (among a few other bits, including more to come!). The Pegasus was a bit of an on the spot purchase as I loved the model and then realised after that my General would gain the "can fly" ability with no extra cost! (Why not?!).

So without further ado, here he is!

 I decided to go for the "over the top" heroic pose with this guy because why not? He's a bloody general!

Typical of my theme - lots of Sigmar scrolls!

Still a long way to go though, I'm wanting to add more laurels and make him stand out a bit more as a General should!

Another pro to the custom General - awesome beardiness, which was not found on the old General I had, a great improvement!

Grenadier progress!

So since I haven't posted in a while I thought I would post a few mini updates as I have been messing with a few different models over the past couple weeks, starting with the grenadiers!

As you can see I have (nearly) three completed and they now have their bayonets affixed to the side of the muskets and their head position has been altered!

I decided to bulk these guys out a bit as the bodies are just from Handgunners and considering they're a proxy for State Troops, I felt they needed to look a little less squishy!

All quiet on the miniature front!

Firstly, I'd like to apologise for the recent lack of updates in regards to the progress of my Napoleonic Empire army, unfortunately I managed to crack my Smartphones screen and rendered it about as useful as a coaster thus, being unable to take photographs to update my posts. It's not all bad news though!

I have still continued the work on my miniatures and have progressed a fair bit (of which i will be updating you as soon as my phone returns to my side). This is including more grenadiers with reworked heads / muskets to make them a bit more realistic and correct (Bayonets of the side of the musket, heads turn as if they were bracing for an attack, rather than looking off into the distance!),

I have also made some progress on a General to lead these guys, this will consist of a converted Handgunner atop of a Pegasus (Got to love the "can fly" rule) with lots of green stuff, spare bits from sprues and whatnot! Although it will be a while before he is finished, it's a work in progress none the less!.

I'll also be looking at getting myself a cannon and magnetize it so i can swap it out to be a mortar depending on the situation in game, but that's all yet to come, anyway!


I also almost forgot to mention that this Napoleonic Empire army will now actually become "Napolepic", as I'm really loving the whole Empire's dedication to Sigmar, I feel I need to embrace this and just go crazy.

All hail Sigmar!
