I've decided to rework the banner of the Mórrsfeld district to maintain a coherence between the different watchmen. I have therefore replaced the old watchman designed by Trish Morrison by a MM60 fighter (F27). This is the second time I paint this model, and as mentioned before, this is definitely not my favorite miniature. Here, I've removed the shield boss on the left hand, and replaced the original halberd by a dark elf plastic standard (topped by a flame coming from Celestial Hurricanum sprues). For the banner, I've kept the idea of the portcullis, but used the "M" letter as a reminder of the unit origin... Same colours as the ones used for the Söllhafen district.
Final pictures of the unit:
To be honest, I had other plans for this regiment, including a third and wealthier district, a musician, a second ogre, and a larger banner, but for the moment, let's consider the mandatory Helblitzen as done...
Brilliant! Love them :)

ReplyDeleteMerci. Enfin débarrassé de cette unité :p
DeleteQuelle superbe brochette de personnages, bannières et autres créatures...absolument magnifiques!
ReplyDeleteCan I ask if you painted for the Rackham studio in the past? You're style is very similar and your imperial models with the halflings have a Cadwallon style to them. Just curious, and please take it a s a compliment :)
ReplyDeleteThanks! But the answer is no. And the halfling shield bearers are indeed a direct reference to Cadwallon's weapon bearers :)
