Small Diversion

I recently got distracted from the painting of my Dux Britanniarum.  I assure you, I have some Saxons finished, they just aren't photographed yet :)

One of the online forums I frequent, warhammer-empire.com, runs an annual miniature exchange.  I participated this year for the third time in a row.  For my recipient this year, I decided to paint up not one, but two miniatures to match his army theme of purple and  yellow.  I decided he needed a nice, stately captain - well suited by an old Empire Reiksguard foot knight captain!  To accompany him, none other than a stalwart halfilng would do!  It was a great opportunity to paint another lovely White Knight miniature, as well as some classic Empire goodness.  Onto some pictures!

The duo:


And some closeups of the Captain:


 

Finally, some closeups of his tiny compatriot:




I had lots of fun painting these guys, so I hope you enjoy them!  They are on their way across the ocean to their new home, here is to hoping they make it there safely.

  1. Those are wonderful! these are by far the best Reiksguard models out there...I still have half my unit to paint and must get back to it soon. Halfling looks great too...love his helmet.

  2. Thanks Blue! The sallet helm actually is from the goblin kit, but since only the chin is visible, skin colour is the only real difference between making it a goblin or a halfling.
