Bondsmen Archers and Seers

Back to the Norse army with these 15 old-school Bondsmen Archers (now 40 painted in total). The two guys that are taller than the old Citadel minis are from V&V Miniatures.

Ostland - The Fireloques of Ferlangen

"The Fireloques of Ferlangen are a troop of deadly accurate handgunners that have fought throughout the Province of Ostland. Wearing the black and white of their home province, the Fireloques of Ferlangen bear no formal insignia, but superstitiously decorate their hats and uniforms with the bones of fallen comrades and other good luck charms.

Even amongst the stubborn Ostlanders, the Fireloques of Ferlangen have gained a reputation for tenacity, holding their gun line and unleashing volley after volley of fire into approaching enemies. Their refusal to surrender the flank against marauders of the north during the three-day Battle of Littered Bones earned them the nickname of Skull Clubbers, as without gunpowder for the entire last day, they resorted to using their beloved handguns as blunt weapons to stem the tide of the attackers."

Here comes the second unit of my Empire army: 16 handgunners (or 'Hakbutschutzen'), painted in the   Ostland painting scheme.

Orcs & Goblins Army Banner

Now that my O&G army has reached a respectable size, I thought it was time to give it a big impressive army banner. But first I needed to figure out who would be mighty enough to bear it. Some time ago, I painted a Black Orc Hero, it was meant to be an independent character. It is referred to as "Tusker Commander" and is produced by Knightmare Miniatures.

But then, I realized that Tusker has just the right body posture to hold this role. Also, he is so huge and massive that he is just perfect for that. And here he is bearing the grand banner of my O&G army.

Stick...stick...Stickas(s)

Nothing special today, just a bunch of Goblin Stickas to reach 40 minis of that type in my O&G army.
