OWAC VI - Shif Doppler and more guards

The 6th edition of the OWAC is close to the end, and all I've been able to paint as an army general is the lieutenant of the guards, Shif Doppler, and... more guards!

Shif Doppler has been heavily tainted by Chaos: he can turn his head and arms by 360 degrees, and his face is so corrupted that he's hiding it under a silver mask depicting a handsome youngman. 

In terms of miniature, I have used the model proposed in the original scenario pack to depict this character, but carved the helmet to replace the head by an AOS Stormcast face, and equipped it with a Warcry miniature flail (part of his equipment in the scenario).

As for the guards, they are based on the imperial halberdiers designed by the Perry brothers in the 90s: I have either swapped the heads, or trimmed down the fancy feathers to give the original helmets a more severe look. I have also replaced two halberds by man catchers, very useful to capture new subjects for Lady Margritte's experiments 💀

The full rank:

OWAC VI - The Halberdiers

Second batch of guards protecting Castle Wittgenstein, this time armed with halberds, but still wearing full-face masks. Most of the models are the splendid halberdiers designed by thte Perry twins for the 4th edition Warhammer Empire army. I have simply changed thir heads, and added a few details.

The standard bearer is a minor conversion of the original Sergeant Kratz.

The only thing I've been able to keep from the "official" coats of arms of Wittgenstein's family is... the grey tones (the severed heads are bits stolen to the splendid AoS Kruleboyz)

Final pictures for February's entry:

Marauder halberdiers

And we are back in Pfeildorf! After a welcome "dwarf break", the last two halberdier models I had to complete the city watch. 

Nothing much to say, this is the second or third time you're seeing these models on this blog :)

And then what? Well, I still have a lot of Marauder Miniatures waiting for their basecoat, but I have to admit this perspective is a little bit disheartening... too many years spent on this army I guess. In need some vacations, far from the Empire :o)

Marauder halberdiers

And that's two additional retinues for the City Watch: references F29 and F5 of the MM60 fighters range. Second time I paint these models, can be boring... 

I've been lazy with the shield, and used one of these old Marauder plastic shields to spare me an uninspired freehand.

In theory, I still have two halberdiers to paint to complete the Guild of the Lamplighters and Watchmen. I'll do my best to finish it by the end of the year, but the perspective of preparing dwarves for the next OWAC is much more inspiring :p We'll see!
