24th Cathayan Expeditionaries

[Mephistofeles]

I can't really remember actually, but maybe you did.

Damn it I really need to get my act together here, I haven't painted a single Cathayan in several months! *slaps self with cold tuna*

That banner motif should look nice.
edit: maybe the third mini along oin the mounted commanders page with a banner stuck on his spear for the bsb?

Updates please?

Greetings Warseerers,

This army has had quite a long down-time for a while now, as has all my other gaming hobbies, but I am finally regaining interest in the game again (as I know I always do, I have been doing this for too long to be able to stop...). So, here is a little update, sorry, no pictures, but at least something.

I have finished everything with the army except for some Greatswords now, which I will hopefully finish quite soon. I have not finished the character yet either, but I now have a good idea about how I want them to look.

I have been planning to sell this army as well, but I have almost desired not to now (I really love my little soldier), so unless anyone gives me "an offer I can't refuse" then they will stay with me from here on.

So, basically, what I can tell you about the army is:

* Everything but the Greatswords and characters are finished.
* Only the Characters are left for me to buy, and convert.
* I will try to get them ready for an annual tournament held here in Sweden in April-May (Lincon).
* Any help/tips on how to make and convert my characters is welcome. Remember I use the Perry Miniatures Japanese range, and that the characters are a level 4 Wizard Lord/master strategist magician, a level 2 wizard and a Battle Standard Bearer.

Thanks all those who have watched this thread, and a special thank you to all of you who are still checking in on it from time to time.

*edit* I just saw that this thread has been moved to the historical projects forum, and I don't really see why. The army consists of historical models yes, but is in all ways a warhammer army, and it includes warhammer miniatures as well as perry-historical ones. Please move it back, pretty pretty please?

nice, really nice. any ideas on dragon cannons, the dwarf flame cannon head may help.

[Mephistofeles]

The cannons I have now are without dragonheads, and although I agree that it would be cool, I am satisfied with the cannons I have now.

Hi again Mephistofeles
I haven't posted on Warseer in ages it seems, but now I'm 'back on track'
If you're still looking for stuff for the baggage train, Copplestone Castings do some 'Tibetan Baggage Train' and 'Baggage Yak' models.
Here's the link, scroll down to "Tibetans" and "Baggage" and you'll see 'em.

Hopefully this helps, I think they fit with your army's character. An they're in scale, which is a plus. Well done on the army, as well. It's looking good.

[Mephistofeles]

Wow, that was infernally cool, and you actually gave me the inclination to finish this army up!

We will see when it is all ready, I sadly have no place to build or store anything right now, which is why it is postponed at the moment, but I will get round to it!

[LordGoatee]

Cool! Looking forward eagerly..

[Balthar]

I Like them a lot, only the're more Nippon than Cathay i think.
Cathay is the Warhammer equilavent of China, While Nippon is Japan's counterpart.

Anyhow, great army.
