Warmaster Commission Part 2

The second Warmaster army, Dark Elves.  Now I'm not a big Elf fan, so far I do not have any in my 15mm collection, but these were quite nice so i will see what I can find for my 15mm.

This was a nice army to paint, I went for a dark colour scheme of a 'traditional' black, red and purple pallet.

Again these are Kallistra figures

 The army in all it's glory

 Ballistas, there are 8 of these war machines that will range death down at a distance

 The leaders, one on a Cold One athe rest on horses and foot

 Crossbows, the shooty death men!

 Knights, armoured men on big horses!

 The core of the army, spearmen.

Speed freaks, chariots....

Warmaster Commission

Whilst at home I answered a message on a wargames Facebook page where someone was looking to have their Warmaster figures painted.  So the end result was I was sent a box full of Kallistra Barbarians/RomanoBritish and Dark Elf minitures.

These were the first Kallistar figures that I have painted and I must say I do like their miniatures.

So the eye candy

 So the army consists of leaders(obviously), magicians, 1 mounted warriors, 2 mounted bow, 5 warband and 1 bow 

 The Leaders

 Warbands, these are from th RomanoBritish range and the client wanted a light blue and white shield designs.

 These foot figures come on strips of 4, two strips to a base.

 The bow (sorry for the fuzzy picture), while these come in strips of 4 you have to cut the strips in half to base them, fortunately the nice people at Kallistra mold a little indent into the strip base to ease cutting.

 Bothe mounted bow and mounted warriors come individually, unlike GW Warmaster who come cast as a strip.

These are ready to be sent to client once I am back in the UK and I am working my way through the Dark Elves.

Clash of Evil!!

Remember when I refer to rules, etc, we were using a modified version of Warlord's Black Powder. In future we will use a version of Warlords Hail Caesar. As I finish future units and show them here I will be putting up there HC stats and special rules.

Ok the great horde of Orcs and Goblins gather to smash the Undead into dust!!

This is the first time that my Orcs and Goblins had taken the field and they look pretty good even if I do say so myself.

Above we have two units of Demonworld Spider riders with a skirmish screen of Kallistra Orc bow, now the Kallistra are 10mm but work great for 15mm Goblins!

A special rule was give to spiders in that they did not become disrupted when going through woods, I just thought it made sense.

Demonworld Mosquetos! A great model and something a little different. I did not really give these flying rules I just made them immune to terrain effects. So these were nice fast 'mounted' skirmishers.

Now this wee beastie is impressive!! GIANT SPIDERS!!! Enough to give any hero arachnophobia.......

These are made by Demonworld, and are lovely. The GOOD NEWS, Ral Patha Europe have bought the molds and are going to re release the ranges!! More spiders may be?

Or may be not?? Is 3 enough? Now due to the size of the model they are actually based on 120mm frontages. When I do the stats for HC I think I will have to take that into account as potentially they will be fighting more than one foe at a time.

Finally for this part, the 'White Hand' contingent, made by Eureka and sold in the UK by Fighting 15s. Again these are great models and almost identical to the LotR film portrayal of Urhi Khai. Here we have a phalanx of 3 units! A lovely sight, enough to warm any despots heart!!

The phalanx was ably assisted by a unit of Xbow and a giant, we all know it is a GW LotR Cave Troll but in this scale they make impressive giants.

More to follow...........
