I like the knights of the realm kit. It's nice and flat, it's easy to paint heraldry on. As a matter of fact I think it's one of the best mini there is.

Speaking of which, I just painted this print as a test and it's a bit annoying that I basically can only paint heraldry on the shield because of the flowing cloth, which grooves are way too deep to paint shapes properly on.

I think I'll still print the rest though. Doing stripes/checkers etc on the horse should probably be enough to get a decent amount of variety.

Do you mean alternative models like dwarf anon posted and what Knight anon is probably thinking of

ON FOOT kit. Though I also dislike the mounted plastic KOTR as well now that you mention it. I much prefer the old metals, plus you can mix in the old Questing Knights for some variation. Even the ancient 2e/3e metal knights look better than the plastics, I have a couple of those and they look great.

I'll never understand how people manage to freehand a design on a super folded and flowy cape or banner. The only what I could think of managing it is cutting out a paper stencil and airbrushing the outline onto the surface. But there must be another way that doesn't involve and airbrush.

>>98030588
If you're a WoW zoomer, sure, if you can ignore the ridiculous swollen heart failure legs. If you know anything about historical armor at all, though, they're hideous. I really, really hate them. Rumors have it they had to throw out all of their /his/ reference books after the Chapter House hootenanny, and the hideous Foot Knights are the result. All they had to do was take picrel, CADslop it in heroic scale, and slap some helmet crests on top, and it would've been great. Fuck's sake this company is retarded.

>>98030588
Just compare the armor of the mounted KOTR and the dismounted ones and you'll see.

KOTR on foot are the reason I started buying rare 4th edition Bretonnia Foot Knights and Retainer models instead. If only to use them as 'GW legal' at events and remind people the open faced bascinet is pure soul.

I'm personally going to go for those:

The minis I want to use are apparently only sold in 32mm and 28mm, but apparently the best scale for mixing with official minis is 30mm, so I guess it's time to fork over some cash or get some shady company in my third world country that doesn't care about copyright.
>>98030803
They are supposed to look like the same unit, except one has a horse and the other doesn't, except KOTR on Foot like like someone bolted a collar onto their necks and gave them weird helmets that don't match their mounted counterparts at all. Also the bloated legs as the other anon mentioned.

Bretonnia has some of the strangest and most memorable campaigns books, short stories, novels, etc by far. Everyone knows the "Knight [X]" books, which are good, but there's a lot of very strange and interesting others out there. Highly recommend "Sir Dagobert's Last Battle" and "Rest Eternal," they're not exactly literary classics but they're certainly artful. Then there are the interesting little spinoff games from WD like Full Tilt and Dragon Quest... vgh. I understand why some Empire players found noblebright Bretonnia annoying, but it was so full of soul... though I actually DO like WFRP 2e's mudcore Mousillon from Barony of the Damned, because it's SUPPOSED to be the Monty Python shit-smeared medievalism hyperbole region.
That turned into a faggot blogpost fast, but please do check out some of what I just sperged about. Particularly Rest Eternal, such a profoundly weird little self-contained story with some questionably canon interpretations of some things I won't spoil.

I always enjoy seeing what people come up with for spirit hosts. Pic is one I found online, I think it's clear resin, green ink and a drybrush. My own (printed but not assembled yet) are some flagellant STLs with the legs digitally removed and replaced with gravestones and logs and rocks joined to their tunics, so it looks like they're floating around jangling their chains and bells and whatnot.

>it they had to throw out all of their /his/ reference books after the Chapter House hootenanny
You can definitely tell that like 3 years after this event, so end times - early aos, they put out their most warcraft-esque designs.
Y'know I wonder if they walked this stuff back a bit. If you compare some of the new nurgle knight guys from aos they're remarkably more "plausible" than the old blight kings.

Its more that the gap between sculptors at GW is a fucking crater.

My lore is that the Sorcerer's Islands were a holdout during the Crusader times and home to dark sorcery, until when the crusades came to an end the island was eventually pacified by the new Sultanate but left abandoned due to being inundated with cursed magic. The Tomb Kings ruins I am 50/50 on, it's on the far side of Araby from Nehekara but having a TK tomb to raid wouldn't be unreasonable. With the Roc, I will add it to the list. I am thinking more about the bestiary later once I decide on the terrain and landmarks but I know for sure I want a Basilisk burrowing into the peaks.

They're stored away in a box atm waiting to be built when I get round to them. I thought I'd taken a screenshot of them in blender for posterity but I can't for the life of me find it.

They're basically picrel modular kit, with the legs digitally removed but the whole bottom of the tunic kept in tact, so that they're just floating tunics with torsos arms and heads. Then I fused the bottom of each tunic onto a gravestone or log or whatever, like how GW do flight stands these days, so that it looks like they're floating around.

One of my favorite digital conversions I've done, but probably took more time than their points cost justifies lol.

So, I managed to buy an incomplete chariot (without crew). As it turned out, my friend had the guy with wip, he also provided me a decent dude to put on the back. However, the styles of these two clash way too much. I was thinking about repurposing this not-at-all-chaos-dwarf to take the place of a whip guy. Here's a POC held together with the power of bluetack. How dumb of an idea is it to have a dwarf in a chariot? Using current warriors won't make it due to their size. I could also try an old marauder or, god forbid an iron golem from warcry which would fit the style more or less after the helm swap.

it sounds like a fun idea, and that dwarf model is very cool. I'd say go for it!

Alternatively there are some 3d print options if you want a more old school warrior. You could probably find one that fits on the chariot from Monstrous Encounters, since a lot of his WoC sculpts are pretty compact (as was the style at the time).

I'm writing background lore for the hearth and home of my Empire troops, what do we think?

A 3 hours walk past the 10th of Sommerzeit lies a hamlet, which they call a town. In the middle of the thorp wallows a muddy puddle, which they call a river. On both sides of the creek lie huts, which they call houses. Two or three of such houses have more than one storey, those they call mansions. So stands the village of Butental.

The Butentalers; those are characters! That year when a pair of heifers had managed to calve, the Butentalers had a row-in with Verena, and it was the Butentalers that won - what did you think - and not Verena: such is their strength.

They were of course begat of a most prestigious house. They kept some old letters, and if they had not lost them and if anyone knew to read them, they would be so dumbfounded they might’ve keeled over right then and there, for they say, that in those letters stood proof that the illustrious Butentaler stock reached all the way back to Sigmar the Unifier.

The first of them to have moved to their present lands was one Cosmin Buta. He did not like where he lived previously, claiming the climate was much too cold and suited him ill. The man was rather shabby in his calculus and often miscounted his flock of sheep. Unfortunately when one stood up to him to return the alienated animals, he had the rather bad habit of baying like a goat and butting them in with his head, breaking the ribcages of his poor kinsmen. Knowing they resented him, Buta discreetly left one sunless night, only taking for his name and house a few trotters from each stable and whatever was attached along with them. The neighbours would mount no search neither for him or the trotters, being simply grateful to have paid such a small price for their peace.

Personally what's really pushing me towards the new kit is the design chariot itself. There's lots of new bits and bobs to customise it and it actually feels like one cohesive model. The old chariot, and honestly most of the oldhammer chariots, have this problem where you can really tell they were limited by the casting process of the time and it looks almost more like papercraft than anything else, being just a bunch of 2d shapes constructed together into a thing. Just my opinion though. I agree that the nugobs kinda lost some of their sovl.

I have finished making the terrain map and am now deciding on where to place things. I am using 3-mile hexes, starting with the first island which is the biggest at around 250 land hexes (~2000 square miles). I want each hex to have a major feature (something obvious like a farmstead, special mountain, wizard tower etc.), 1-2 minor features (hidden cave, strange tree etc.), and the possibility of wandering encounters based on the terrain type. Given the number of hexes I will need to draw most things from a random table but if anyone has a specific suggestion for a major, minor, or roaming feature I can add it to the list. I'll post an image tomorrow once I've cleaned things up a bit

Buta grew accustomed to his new home, had a large family, and all of them inherited the same talent where they sooner stepped on rakes than used them to bring in the bucks.

The names of the firstborn sons in Buta’s line have been preserved for us, and each bore his own amiable surname:
Cosmin Buta had a firstborn son named Fido Hakennäschen.
Fido Hakennäschen had a son, Franszött Saheinenork.
Franszött Saheinenork begat Gregor Hosenlos.
Gregor Hosenlos begat Laude Bärtig.

By the time of Laude Bärtig, Butental already counted over thirty huts, and Laude Bärtig sported the longest and bushiest beard among all the city fathers. And so Dame Flinklaus did not hesitate in the least, but jumped straight in it, and Laude Bärtig was elected mayor. That is, if what the people of Tepensberg say is true.

For the folk of Tepensberg claim that the people of Butental keep a certain municipal louse, and whenever they need to elect a new burmeister, all the bearded men sit around a table, place the much-lauded civic creature upon it, and whichever beard it crawls into - that man becomes burmeister. They also say the louse is called Dame Flinklaus, that she has her own little stable in the town hall, and that the fair maidens of Butental come to tend her, each day a different one, carrying her in their hair for two hours at a time.

Of course, one should not believe everything the Tepensbergers say. They are scarcely more than Stirlander hillfolk, forced to eat barley bread to survive, so people mock them as "Gersteißgeburters."

The distinguished Laude Bärtig begat an even more distinguished son, Gregor Holzschuhen, whose heifer attained such renown that she was summoned to the gilded court of the emperor Dieter IV himself.

In those days there lived two journeymen astromancers, so learned that they knew twenty-four hours in advance what the weather would be, and so celebrated that electors and dukes practically quarrelled over which realm would have the honour of employing them to compile almanacs.
Their travels once brought them through Butental, and since night was falling, they stopped and asked Gregor for lodgings. Gregor first mistook them for itinerant booksellers and scamps, then finally allowed them to sleep in the hay. Before retiring for the night, the Azyrites studied the skies and declared:
"Tonight the weather will not hold. There will be storm and rain!"
Gregor replied: "No there won’t. Tonight will be a gentle night."

And indeed it was. The astromancers marvelled, and the next morning they asked their host how he had known what the weather would be.
Holzschuhen answered:
"My cow has never deceived me, not since the day I got her. Whenever a storm or rain approaches, she always comes home from pasture. Last night she did not come home, and so I knew at once the night would be a mild one."

The wizards looked at one another, then said:
"Electors and dukes compete for us, and yet we have been outdone by a cow!"

At this, the first immediately slew himself with a wicker basket in a fit of rage, while the second despaired and cried:
"Never again, not for one more hour, shall I be an astromancer!" and retired to the choirs of the White Order.

But the fame of Gregor’s cow spread throughout the province and Empire, and when the Emperor himself heard of her, she was summoned before him and appointed Court Caelo-prognosticant. All Butental basked in the glow of her favor and it was even decided by the city fathers to immortalise her in the city's own arms.

And so Gregor Holzschuhen begat Anselm Wiehern, and Anselm Wiehern begat little Mattheus Mistrechen, who was falsely accused of stealing pears - though he remained blameless on that particular occasion.

That year the people of Butental had an enviable pear harvest, but they did not know what else to do with the fruit, so they threw it all into an abandoned well - "Let them mash themselves up down there," they thought. When the time came to fetch them out again, five went to the well with Mattheus and said:

"Mattheus - you’re our man. Go on, jump in and throw us the pears you can find!"
He jumped in. The well was deep, and quite a bit of water had collected at the bottom. They waited and shouted and cursed, but not a single pear came flying up.

So they said:
"Mattheus’ a trickster! He’ll gobble them all up himself, then claim there never were any. Let another man jump in after him - someone more honest!"

And so every one of them, each more honest than the next, leapt into the well, one after the other. And none of them ever returned to say whether Mattheus Mistrechen truly had stolen the pears, because not one of them ever came back out.
>>
>>98036632
Thankfully before Mattheus went after the pears, he himself had begotten little Anton Stiefelein.
Stiefelein was the first man in Butental to own a pocket watch - he had fashioned the watch himself, out of genuine homegrown turnips. He had a son named Ulle Unter-den-Weiden.

While Ulle Unter-den-Weiden was burmeister, the most radiant Emperor Karl-Franz himself came to visit Butental, and the town received him ceremoniously with the latest technological marvel the town had to offer, a brand-new fire-engine. The fire-engine performed splendidly: everyone was completely soaked through - the Emperor, the Grand Theogonist, the Reiksguard, and the Footmen.

"Everywhere else we were honoured with cannon fire. Butental did not grant us even a single pistol shot. Instead you have mercilessly drenched us. What sort of manners do you have in Butental?” asked the emperor.

The burmeister replied:
"Your Grace, Your Imperial Majesty, we had ninety-nine reasons for not firing a salute."

The Emperor commanded:
"I am curious to hear them. Speak!"

The burmeister answered:
"First: we had no gunpowder."

Karl Franz interrupted: "The first reason already satisfies me more than enough. Farewell and Sigmar be with ye burmeister - Butental won’t see me again." The Emperor would keep by his Imperial word, and his august foot never again crossed the town limits, thus showing that an Emperor’s integrity will always be well above reproach.

And as the years passed, Butental grew too cramped for all the Butentalers. The younger generation was adventurous and went out to see the world. Some settled along the Aver, some along the Söll, and a few even reached the Black gulf and lit their fires there.
But those who remained stayed exactly what they had always been.

That's all I have for now, so I'll stop spamming the thread. What do we think?

I have no experience modelling vegetation, but it looks like the leaves are mass produced out of paper or thin plastic, then glued to a moulded plastic stem.
The stems aren't skewers because they're slightly bent, but I'm questioning if they're actual twigs because they seem too regular in diameter and too straight.

It's funny, I've never really considered making plants before, it's always seemed too much bother compared to buying a whole thing.

I'm still not sure what I should do for the banners though.

Same as the shields. "Errantry Banner" tapestry-esque banner should be reserved for a BSB or the SB of your "main" unit, if you have one.

I fear the squarish cross wouldn't fill the rectangle banner properly and would look out of proportion. I was thinking of maybe doing a bunch of golden fleurs de lys on these white banners and do the same but on a blue banner for the knights of the realms unit. I'm not sure though.

Trying to come up with a scheme for my cockatrice that matches the rest of my beastmen. Picrel is my shaman for reference.

Matching the colors on the shaman, I think the skin will be the same as the shaman here, the scales green, the leather of the wings the tanned flesh color, and the feathers will be brown. Might try to capture a pale yellow color for the beak and legs, but I’m still not sure. Any suggestions?
>>
>>98038728
You sound like, 90% of the way there with that color scheme anyway so why not just go full turkey colors?
