Warhammer in 1/72: Ostland figures (Empire army)

[PhilC]

Hi, dear fellow forumers!

As expected (if not planned ), I have been distracted from my current projects, as I woke up one morning with the wish to paint some troops for my 1/72 Warhammer Empire army. Maybe you remember my Talabecland army painted in 2020 ? They had a yellow / red color scheme, which is fine but I wanted a little more variety, so I chose to represent the troops of another province of the Empire, this time Ostland with a black & white color scheme. You will see the first figures below, mainly Redbox figures from their Renaissance range:






And the guy from whom the idea has grown, the standard bearer (Ultima Ratio figure):


I think they fit well with the Talabeclanders:


Some more guys have to be painted, so stay tuned!

As usual, more pictures and explanations on the blog: https://philotepsfigures.blogspot.com/2023/02/empire-of-old-world-ostland-troops-part.html

Wonderful army

They do look really good but the bull standard is outstanding!

[Minuteman]

These Redbox renaissance figures look great here as 'Ostland' warriors!

i agree with blacksmith, the (adapted) Uri Bull standard is most impressive. Fine work!

[Santi Pérez]

Very well painted figures, Phil. I really like the sharpness and detail of the painting.

Santi.

These look great Phil.

A delightful little group of figures Phil. Methinks Kekso is exaggerating when he calls them an army but it’s a very nice start. I’ve always fancied having a stab at some minis from the Renaissance Period - other than the English Civil War…. maybe these chaps might tempt me to try my hand at some Landsknechts.

Great painting Phil. I really love your style and consistency. The banners do look incredible as others have said.
Cheers,

Isn't it handy that The Empire is essentially Renaissance troops ported over to a Fantasy setting? The bull banner is very lovely and the grey highlights are very stark!

A very nice and colourful army which you have collected and painted ... really a pleasure to study them.

Wunderful brushwork on the RedBox figures. A wonderful army!

[Peter]

Wonderfull painted army!

Hi, I'm back from a place lost in space and time (meaning: real life with job and so on...), and I realize that I didn't thank you all for these nice comments, so: thank you very much! As you will see in others topics to come, I have been distracted from my distraction, so nothing goes according to the plan, but I kept on painting all winter and spring so I have a few guys to show you, but no Ostland troops

Welcome back Phil. I love your Warhammer themed armies and I am looking forward to see some more eye candy
