Part of my clean-up effort includes my continuing efforts to rehabilitate some of my older figures. Back in my Warhammer days, my favorite army was the Empire/ After the army was revamped around WD 127 I became quite enamored with the Kislevite figures. Although flavored as Russians, the figures appeared inspired by a mix of Cossacks and Poles. The Winged Lancers, were obviously inspired by the Polish Winged Hussars, and made for a great looking unit.
Over time they had fallen into disrepair, however.
Following my efforts to complete the Reconquista Spanish I deemed it necessary to continue to ride the 28mm wave while I could. I re-based the figures and completed/touched up the paint schemes
For the Standard bearer, I decided to take a different direction and included some round shields instead of a cloth banner. Finally I opted to add some lance pennants to make the unit look more finished.
The shields are still unadorned, but rather than doing transfers I ordered some Panzerni Shields from "The Assault Group" along with some of their Polish Hussar wing banners. I have three more figures to finish for this unit, so I am aiming for a more historical look overall.

Great looking figures, always liked the Kislevites too.

These look great, does it mean a return of them to the table?

Eventually, maybe. First I have to try out Impetus. Them I need to find an opponent with an existing army, or re-hab all of my Bretonnians. My 3rd edition fantasy armies are long gone...
DeleteI agree with Ian and Steve, those figures look quite handsome. Nice job!
ReplyDeleteLovely unit. You will certainly need to find a rationale for returning them to the Field of Honor!
