Good evening, dear forumers!
This is my first post on this forum (though
I've been a reader for a couple of years
now), and in it i was planning to show you my
Empire army of Nordland.
(While reading my comments, please forgive my
poor English...)

So, this is what I've been painting the last
couple of years. A couple of months ago I
grew tired of the very grimdark paintsheme,
and decided to start a new armywith much
happier and colourful uniforms.

My army is based of the not-yet-fully-built
city of Königsbach. As you can see, the city
now only contains an inn, a marble shrine,
and an outhouse... it's a WIP...



I use this guy either as a General or a Grand
Master. His head and right arm, as well as
the wreaths, are taken from the Knightly
Orders frame, his body and steed are from the
Empire Generals box and the banner is from
the State Troops. The shields on the base are
from Dark Elf Spearmen. Nordlanders are often
in contact with dark elf raiders, and my best
friend collects them, so it seemed
appropriate to add them to the model. I'm
quite happy with how he turned out, though
the banner could need more work. As you will
see, I have painted a lot of yellow crosses
on the models in this army, mainly because I
want to stick it to a Swedish-ish theme.

This guy was made from the body of the Empire
Generals box, and arms from the Knightly
Orders and Empire Militia. I tried to make
the armour look enchanted by edge
highlighting it light blue. Not sure about
the results, though...

Here's a shot of his back.


Ordinary Warrior Priest. Quite happy with the
paintjob.

My two scratch-built Master Engineers, Klas
and Mas.


Klas: One of my favourite models in the whole
army. I love it how he doesn't even look up
from his book, to see where he's pointing.
His arms are from the Greatswords, the book
is from the Empire Wizards box while his
torso and legs are from the old State Troops.
His holster (even though it's hard to see
from these angles) is from the Space Marine
Commender box. Not sure where the head is
from, though...

Mas: Right arm and legs are from the old
State Troops, left arm is from the
greatswords, his sword is from the new State
Troops and his Repeater is from the
Handgunners frame. Again, I can't say for
sure where the head is from...


Another scratch-build, this guy is mostly
used as a captain, who deploys along with my
Huntsmen. His arms and legs are from the
Archers, his head is from the greatswords,
the cloak is from the Empire Generals box,
and his torso is from the old State Troops.
His hood was made from green stuff.


Ugh... can't say I love the paintjob on this
wizard. His goggles (taken from the Space
Marines Scout Snipers) are pretty cool,
though.

Another wizard. I really like the way he
looks at the enemy, while covering his face
with his hand. Other than that he's pretty
bland.


I realised I had an extra Handgunner body, so
I scratch-built this guy. Unfortunately I
can't use him as a Lord or a Hero, since the
only model on foot that can be equipped with
a brace of pistols is a Handgunner
sharpshooter. Too bad, since he looks pretty
awesome! His head and left hand are from the
Empire General, his right arm is from the
greatswords, while the right arm is from the
Empire Militia frame. The cloak is from the
Knights of The White Wolf frame.



This cannon was made from an old pencil
sharpener that a friend of mine gave me
(thanks for that, Zurk

). The
barrel is almost twice as long as that of the
GW model, so i figured the wheels of a cannon
that heavy would just sink through the snow.
Therefore i made it a sled from coffee
stirrers. (10 points to whoever knows what
Vergeltungswaffe III i supposed to mean.)
I'm afraid I'm running out of time, but I'll
come back and post more pictures a little
later.
Constructive criticism is, of course, always
welcomed.
