Soren's slowly splattered soldiers....

I am not very good at painting and hopefully this post will show my improvement over time. I do like to convert miniatures. Empire was my first army so anything that is currently painted is not that great. I will post the terribly slow progression of my army here.

My First Concept for a Helstorm Rocket Battery:

My Final Concept for a Helstorm Rocket Battery:

My First Concept for a War Altar:

My Final Concept for a War Altar:
I will abandon the Wagon part of the altar. I will combine the Fire Pit and a Gothic Pulpit.
Examples of Gothic Pulpits

I will sculpt six railings like this:

The Fire Pit sculpted out of Sculpey over a wire frame with an edge of Magic Sculpt The Stake and the Logs are made out of wooden dowels .

I made Fire Pit support Rings out of Magic Sculpt over a wire support. I had some left over Magic Sculpt. Here is my first attempt at Large Skulls that will be used to support the Fire Pit.

Does anyone know the Old High German for "Save Them With Fire" or "Cleans Them With Fire"

Midaski will buy you a few rounds if you do!

As I do more painting and conversions I will post them here, but it will be slow.

superb!

Also, does anyone have any suggestions of what GW mini to burn at the stake? I was hoping for a sexy, female McNasty. So far I was thinking:
Deamonette

Countess Marianna

Blood Bowl Cheerleader - since her arms would be already out.

Lahmian Vampiress

Grumpy Girl from Mordheim Mob - not sexy

I think for the German language, I would go with an imperative case (as in giving an order) In German, as in English, the "you" subject is implied.

"Reinig mit Feuer" or "Reinig mit Brand" (both mean "Cleanse with fire") or "Reinig mit Flammen" ("cleanse with flames") or "Reinig in Flammen" (Purify in flames)

Reinigen is the verb for to cleanse, purge, or purify. Läutern is another verb that can be used for purify, clean, or reform

"Bestraf mit Feuer" (punish with fire) wouldn't be a bad idea either.

If you had a particularly bad problem with Skaven then I would suggest, "Mit Flammen rotte aus!" or "Rotte mit Flammen aus!" With flames, exterminate"

Now, since this is more religious in nature, you could add the adjective for holy, "heilig." For example, "Reinig in heilige Flammen" (purify in holy flames)

For a victim, I think you should chose an obvious mutant. That would go with an idea of a witch hunter like purge. Of course, burning a hottie would show that if you were will to torch her, what chance does anyone else have.

Soren · « **Reply #6 on:** April 09, 2009, 09:20:52 PM »

Obviously she is hot because she is a witch.

Gustavus Magnus · « **Reply #7 on:** April 09, 2009, 09:24:14 PM »

The cheerleader looks like the most easily converted and her hair looks a bit like it is alreay flames.

Your Mother · « **Reply #8 on:** April 09, 2009, 09:56:20 PM »

You got some pretty cool converting ideas.

steveb · « **Reply #9 on:** April 09, 2009, 10:10:12 PM »

you migh consider looking at the Mordheim amazons or the bloodbowl amazons, there are some hotties there that wouldn't take too much work and they do look good. steveb

Soren · « **Reply #10 on:** April 11, 2009, 07:16:56 PM »

What do you guys think about Dark Elf Witches or Dark Eldar Wytches?

Also, I am kicking around the idea of a different "witch" for each army. That way I could burn Repanse de Lyonesse when I play against Brets.

Gustavus Magnus · « **Reply #11 on:** April 12, 2009, 06:14:31 AM »

That is a great idea. Who would you burn for a goblin/orc opponent?

Myaybe something from there.

I added some green stuff flames to the fire pit of the War Altar:

I am also working on some barding so the horses do nto have to look exactly the same.

Also made some stuff, yep, that is the technical term

warhammerlord_soth · « **Reply #14 on:** April 17, 2009, 09:25:56 AM »

To speak technically :

Great stuff !

Henerius · « **Reply #15 on:** April 17, 2009, 09:59:32 AM »

nothing wrong with youre greenstuff talent

You make very good use of it, technically speaking

Soren · « **Reply #16 on:** June 17, 2009, 06:07:19 AM »

Here is what I have been working on:

I was never happy with my Landsknechts carrying spears............. they should be pike dammit! I will still use them as spears....

I am making them so that I can weapon swap the pikes with halberds.

I sculpted the points of the Pikes standing up. All the pikes will get pennants like Ricco's.

steveb · « **Reply #17 on:** June 17, 2009, 03:03:49 PM »

nice job, are you drilling through the hands and inserting or are they pinned in place? steveb

Soren · « **Reply #18 on:** June 17, 2009, 04:08:59 PM »

Through the hands. I think 1/8" is actually too think for the pikes, but it was what I bought.

Soren · « **Reply #19 on:** June 18, 2009, 12:42:57 AM »

I mean 1/16" is too thick.

Soren · « **Reply #20 on:** June 18, 2009, 05:55:27 AM »

60 Pikes...No Waiting...
These are very much W.I.P.
Too bad they will only ever be spears...

warhammerlord_soth · « **Reply #21 on:** June 18, 2009, 07:33:27 AM »

GREAT !

steveb · « **Reply #22 on:** June 18, 2009, 02:30:19 PM »

if you ever have a battle with me, I would be more than happy to let you use them as pikes, of course I would want the same. I think that if GW wanted to make money they should have done pikes instead of archers or great swords. Oh well maybe in the future, who knows what permutations they will come up with. steveb

Soren · « **Reply #23 on:** June 18, 2009, 08:14:45 PM »

Cool!!!

Done!!!

Now if we could just figure out how to put the pike-head cutting, crazy, greatswords out there.... Maybe we have each unit take 2 for an upgrade, they'd need to be good at killing spears and pikes, they'd need to have a very short lifespan though.

Fantastic pikemen.
