The Master Plan - And Where I Am At

-

I mentioned a few posts ago what my plan is (LINK) and can I stay true to it.

My website HERE has some details around what the units at the garrison will be and there are some notes and background on the units I have completed.
But for the ones yet to be done there is nothing as yet.

So I figured I would show you what they will be.

(Better pictures on my website or previous blog posts)


Here is a shot of the models that will make up the Counts Garrison at Heiligsheld once complete:



THE WHOLE GARRISON




ARMBRUSTSCHUTZEN




FLEGLERS

(I am as yet undecided if these are followers or Morr, Taal, or Gadd.)




HELBLITZEN




ERZATSOLDER





HOLZFALLER



The garrison is to be made from old Citadel models only (including some re-done by Foundry) and as it is story and narrative based, no duplicate models either.

(Incase you are wondering why the static grass on the bases does not match the tabletop, this is the grass mat I use for my 10mm WFB which does match), I could not be bothered to get my 25mm WFB tabletop down from the ceiling.



I am going to try and paint some soon, now that I have finished the farmhouse which took a lot of my creative energy up. 

But I am a slow painter so it could be a while yet...

    Nice looking army, will any heavies such as knights be joining these stout defenders?

    Thanks for the compliment!
    No, this is pretty much it.
    For the area it covers the garrison is pretty large to be fair.
    Having said that, IF I did get anything it would likely be some very light cavalry, pobably some Kreigsritter.

    Looking great so far! I'm very excited to see how it progresses! Don't worry about the grass not matching, everyone knows the empire brings their own turf and Stirland-brand mud with them!

      Ha Ha, thank you.

      It does match on my proper gaming table though!

      Not matching, the horror of that notion!
      :D


      Alas our boiler had broken so we have no heating, no hot water and no showers until it is fixed, so my painting plans have gone out the window for now...

      I am living the Old World life for a while!

Armbrustschutzen - Update

-
Image
I posted early on about my unit of Armbrustschutzen HERE . Though from my post about my master plans HERE , you will see that the goal is to have 10 not 5 of the chaps. At long last I have finished the final 5: This now means that 3 of my total of 5 units are complete and that 25 of the 47 models needed are painted. Over half way which is great!! Feels like it has taken an age. I suspect my 5 Fleglers will be easy to paint but I am still undecided if they are followers of Morr, Gadd or Taal.  I am leaning toward Morr, but as with the Holzfaller, they will not be part of the garrison. However whilst the Holzfaller are still villagers who just happen to take up arms against attackers, the Fleglers will be passing by around the time of the grand final battle.  Maybe guided by their deity as needed? Anyway, they are done and the spiel is on the website proper as normal.

The Honesty Cart

I recently posted about the update to Fraulein Pfiezel’s cottage. LINK: This update was required as you may recall, due to me making comments about the cottage but not having modelled it accurately, hence the updates. Now, at the start of the description I mentioned how you can find your way to the cottage via a path that is marked with an abandoned cart. I decided that whilst I wait the last bits I need to finish the farm   (LINK)     I may as well make the cart. So here it is:   In order to secure the services of Fraulein Pfiezel, you look up the relevant payments on the sign, and once you have left the payments you ring the bell and go away. Depending on the instructions noted on said sign, you then return the next day or the day after at the same time as you rang the bell, and your goods will be ready for you. It is a simple system and means the old lady does not have to endure conversation with the villagers.

Warm Ale and Mud

I am going to try a blog. I do have a website that shows my Warm Ale and Mud stuff: https://angelbarracks.co.uk/ However it does not have a comments section so I thought maybe I would give here a go and see how it pans out. So what is this Warm Ale and Mud all about? I am playing Warhammer Fantasy Battle 3rd edition and I am building the village of Heiligsheld and its surrounds. It is a homebrew village/locale set in Stirland . Once I have enough of the places modelled, buildings, scenery and the people that live there, I will begin to tell stories about the village. These will be played out as games and then published here. We will learn how the village got its name, why it is not on any Imperial maps, how Fraulein Pfiezel came to have what appears to the skull of a beastman on her door, why Otto Klept spends most of his time in the pillory, and much more. It will be almost like a collection of short stories about the village told and modelled in miniature form. The soldiers garriso...
