I don’t have much of an update, but I did some work on my Angry Mob last night while waiting for my WaR character to heal…

However, I did place some bids on a few OOP miniatures to add to the army, including some old school Flagellants, The Grand Master of the Knights of the Blazing Sun as well as the Standard Bearer for the knights.

After I’m done painting the Angry Mob, I’ll start painting the flagellants I have assembled for now.

The one thing I’d like to find is a bunch of the Averlander warband miniatures from the Mordheim line, these would make GREAT heroes.

Everything else in this army will have to wait though, as the initial plan is buy paint, then buy (though eBay isn’t buying is it? )

So between burning heretics with my bright mage in Warhammer Online, I’ve been working on my Averland/Witchhunter themed army…

I have a detachment of pesents (free company) painted up (pics tonight if I get a chance) and they look great, a rag tag mix of Mordheim Angry Mob minis and Militia minis.

I’m contemplating using my Sisters of Sigmar as an other unit of militia, but that my confuse things…

I have a unit of 15 Flagellants assembled (10 from the new box set, 3 metal Mordheim Flagellants and 2 of the old metal WFB ones). They’ll be getting based and primed tonight and since it’s mostly browns and greys, should be painted up in no time.

Next up after that will probably be a unit of crossbowmen made up of a mix of Mordheim witchhunters with crossbows and the newer Empire crossbowmen… though I think it would look great to use the WFB militia with crossbows to give it the angry city folk look.

To help tie in the Averland feel, random minis are painted to look like they were wearing old, dirty and faded Averland uniforms. These uniforms are usually a quartered black and yellow look. So instead of yellow, I’m painting them with Snakebite leather and washing it with Devlan Mud which gives it a nice dirty leathery yellow look… As well, I’m thinking of occasionally fielding Knights of Sigmar’s Blood, who are lead by the Elector Count of Averland’s brother.

So I decided I was going to slowly start working on a 7ed Empire army.

The way I’m going about it is a bit different for me but will allow to blog about it better.

Every pay day, I’ll buy 1 unit or blister, and I have 2 weeks (till the next pay day) to paint it.

Since I didn’t buy anything this past pay day… I decided I’d start with my first unit of militia… To give it extra flavour, since the Empire’s Free Companies are made up of villagers taking up arms, I decided not to solely use the militia minis… I’ve been using some of the mob minis from the old Mordheim range… such as the old one legged man and the two little kids… I may throw in a dog or two for extra flavour.

I started priming the minis last night and should have most of them done by the end of the weekend… since as usual… rain all weekend!
