Warmaster!

[wreiro]

Hi, just found your plog. Everything is looking great. Your Araby army is really taking shape. I like the purple and green tones you have used.

How's your Empire coming along? I would love to get one myself but I have a few mostly unpainted warmaster armies and have only played one game in the past maybe five years so can't really justify it!

Thanks

@Wreiro:Thanks, Araby is my primary army right now, I am shooting to get to about 3k and then I'll dive back into my Empire which is on hold for the moment. It shall be back though have no fear!

jdp: ships will be incoming soon, though as we've started a Blood in the Badlands campaign and the banner markers are all Warmaster character units, you may get those first!

Now, if someone will just sell me their darn Warmaster Forge World Dwarf Zeppilins and balloons...

Warmaster character make great markers, we've done the same thing before. The dwarf Zep is quite cool, I'd like to see that sailing over your ships! Dwarf air corp ftw!

Here is the fruits of my latest painting surge, elephants! Every caliph worth his salt has a padock of these creatures at his disposal to be called for in times of war or for parades to impress foreign potentates. Nothing impresses imperial fops from the court of Karl Franz like a brigade of elephants passing the review stand, well maybe a wizard with his genie but that if for a later post! So bring on the big guys!







Here is a size pic just to remind people of relative scale 10mm elephant vs. 28mm Austrian infantry!

So things have been silent in Warmaster lanf for a while on my painting table. I have other projects and the attention span of a goldfish as I believe I have stated in the past but we have some interesting developments going on out in fantasyland that are peaking my interest in 10mm land.
One there were the rumours of 28mm Araby allies coming out, probably bunk but hey they made me start working on an objective that you will see here sooner or later. This made me look for an apropriate sized base which was found in the form of a 40mm steel washer. This made me curse the basing of my characters to date. They are all on quarters which are a non ferous metal alloy. Thus they don't stick to the magnetic sheets in my transport cases. Can I safely remove the characters and transfer them over to 25mm washers that are steel? I don't know and quite frankly trying to remove them from their bases scares me but I think I'll have to try.
Two the new Empire book for fantasy. There are some really cool new units coming out. Demi-gryphon knights need to be done and the new wizard mounts are incredible. Large warmachines like this are what Warmaster was made to showcase. Will GW issue them? We know the answer is not just no but He!! no. A resourcefull lad just might start slapping putty and plastic card together to field some of these new machines in his Stirland army. I have plans I drew up for an Araby siege tower that hasn't been built yet as well as plans for castle walls towers and a gate tower. Perhaps some sketches are in order to see if one of these astrolab conveyances or light cannon devices are viable in 10mm are in order. I don't know if I could pull off all those concentric rings in this scale but the lenses are a possibility. We shall see sports fans, stay tuned!

Great Empire and Araby stuff! Warmaster is ever tempting, it is.

[armos]

Lovely to see someone giving these great models the attention they deserve.. the araby stuff in particular is really nice. Can't wait to see more

jdp: what news?

[jdp]

Well 'Monger, I am sad to say I haven't worked on my Warmaster for sometime, I will return to these figs sooner or later but they are on hiatus for the moment.
