Dead Winter- An Empire Army

[Erik Lindley]

Here are the finished picts of the army Denise and I took to MR II in IL. 'Ya know, I should pull this army out again and play it some in 8th...Empire are nasty now :>


The entire army on its display base:




High Priest Ulgrid on his War Mammoth (war altar):


That model is a $4 African Elephant from Target. The rest is balsa wood, bits and greenstuff (a LOT of greenstuff). I have tons more work in progress picts at home, but here is one before it was finished and primered:





Picture of the Morr Guard with embedded Priest of Morr:



The Priest of Morr's personal guard- the Silent Watch:



Daughters of Ulric with their Priest of Ulric:



The Daughters have their own Halbard detachment:



Mercenary Ogre Ironguts:



Border Patrol Pistoliers:
l


Bronzino's Galloping Sled:



Here are finished picts of the Black Guard of Morr:



Here are the 2 Ulric themed knight units- Knights of the Wild God with lances and the Berserker knights of Ulric with GW's:

Wow I love it!

Really cool army. I love all the unusual Empire units and bit (Ulric and Moor instead of Sigmar). Great paint job on everything, as well as conversions. You even have some Kislev infantry in there! I have to admit that I love the idea of a Kislev army. I have some lancers, but not infantry.

I have to admit that I think you can do more with the....cover...of the elephant/mammoth. I think something as simple as a Celtic design on the border of it would kick it up a notch. It wouldn't take much, really, but something on it would just rock. I'm not saying that I think it's bad at all....as I think it looks GREAT!

Funny you should mention that cloth on the mammoth:>

I did almost exactly what you suggested(that picture was older). Added a nice scrolling border along the outer edge. I still need to paint free hand designs in the middle, but I am waiting for inspiration...I have been waiting a long time

It definitely begs for serious freehand work fer shur!

Very cool. You should have had 6 more Wolves and had Bronzino dressed like Santa. ;D

I think I remember seeing the mammoth over at Warhammer-Empire - I might be mistaken though, definately seen it somewhere. Superb.

Wow, this is a really nice army. I really like it.

Nice use of the High elf Phoenix Guard as halberdiers.

Love to see another Empire player. That War Altar conversion is awesome. Also, what could the Daughters of Ulric be used for?
