Empire of man – Free Company militia – part 3

Posted on 29 April, 2026 by Håkan

I started making bases for my Warband. I decided that my marksmen should have some kind of wooden floors. So I cut plastic stripes and glued on.

For the first one I tried to fit the stripes around his shoes, but that was quite complicated, so for the other three I carefully removed the figures before glueing the stripes.
Here the three first ones got paint on the boards.

The floor for the fourth one took a while longer. Quite happy with how they turned out.
I also started making some kind of stones or bricks with 2k putty.

I also made bricks from cut pieces of cardboard. The rest of the figures got grey paint.

I added some dirt, tufts and grass on a few.

For those with grey bases, I used a fine brush to paint black, forming bricks. Then I used light grey to make some highlights.

After a while I considered my warband that I called Reichwalds Fiffiga Filurer (Clever tricksters).

Now I just need to finish the rest of my militia figures.

Time for some paint! I used Speed Paint for all the basic colours. Mainly focusing on the warband.

Adding colours for bows and other weapons.

Building up layers with Citadel colours.

The archers also got a little more colours.

Not much left to do and I feel it’s hard to see any differences between the pictures.

Soon time to add bricks to their bases.

Empire of man – Free company militia and Warband – TOW and Mordheim

Posted on 13 April, 2026 by Håkan

One of the things I’ve been working with is my Empire army. And part of that are the militia.
As I plan to participate in the game Mordheim as well, I decided to use some of them as a Warband. I also wanted to have a group of bowmen skirmishers.

In the box there’s quite a few options both for weapons and figures. Something I think is very nice. Here’s a pic of the box.
