Battle Masters Halberdiers - Posted: September 21, 2023 - Manufacturer: Games Workshop
Another regiment of Halberdiers, and this is the last one, three and a half years later!
I am very happy with these figs. I changed the way I did the feathers, instead of splitting
one side green and the other yellow, I made them align more with other examples. I relaized they
are very green, and not the green-and-yellow of figs I painted thirteen years ago, so updated
that a bit too... A joy to pain all these years later, and I'm hoping to recruit some people to
play Battlemasters again when the army is done!

An angled view of the last Halberdier regiment. I relaly like these figs and the whole look
of the project so far. I'm excited to finish up and play again :) Honestly, I really love these figs,
they are so well made and have so much character... Their simplicity makes them super enjoyable in
my mind, not the highly detailed complexity that the Age of Sigmar figs can have.
Battle Masters Archers - Posted: September 21, 2023 - Manufacturer: Games Workshop
These archers are great figs. The face is a bit tough given that it's on the mould line, however
despite that I really love the look and feel of these figs. These old Empire Battlemaster figs are
some of my favourite figs of all time!

A view of the archers from the back, you can see that they all have their non-shooting eye closed!
I really love the look of these figs!
Battle Masters Crossbow men - Posted: May 29, 2020 - Manufacturer: Games Workshop
Although I needed another unit of men-at-arms, I decided to paint some crossbows first!
I'm pretty happy with how these ones turned out, and they should fit in nicely with the
existing Empire for Battle Masters. I decided to angle them on the bases like old-school,
but then mount them into this Battle Masters base facing forward.

Looks like I messed up and mounted these crossbows onto the wrong Battle Masters base... I'll fix
it up next, when I guess I'll do the archers! :)
Battle Masters Warhammer Chaos Ogre - Posted: August 16, 2020 - Manufacturer: Milton Bradley and Milton Bradley and Games Workshop
Here's the mighty Chaos Ogre on its Battle Masters base, all ready to smash
some Empire soldiers into smithereens. Note the freehand belly shield. So many more figs to
paint, but still this one will add some pop to the tabletop.

Two of the three units of Men At Arms with Halberds from Battle Masters
all ready to hit the battlefield! Just one more and that will be all of them,
but I'll still need five more after that to make a Kings of War or Oathmark unit :D
Battle Masters Goblin Wolf Riders - Posted: April 13, 2020 - Manufacturer: Milton Bradley and Games Workshop
These were very difficult to motivate myself to paint. I dreaded the poorly-detailed
wolf sculpts... until I realized they're actually pretty good, which was thanks to seeing
pictures of the Oathmark Goblin Wolf Riders, which are similar from a design perspective.
Battle Masters Chaos Warriors - Posted: April 13, 2020 - Manufacturer: Milton Bradley and Games Workshop
The Chaos Champions are not quite stock Battlemasters Chaos champions. Ages ago I swapped the
heads from the old Chaos Knights(?) horse heads with the original ones, and lost those old heads to
the ages, and that's why you see the skull-adorned horse head here. Also, I had to replace a lance
as well, it just didn't survive the intervening thirty years. I painted these to be Vampire Knights
for my Kings of War army, so they are rocking the purple and orange theme with jack-o-lantern inspired
demon-like shields.

From behind you can see that I chose to do a solid colored cloak after the first test figure with stripes.
These champions will inspire terror on the battlefield for sure!
Battle Masters Chaos Warriors - Posted: October 28, 2019 - Manufacturer: Milton Bradley and Games Workshop
The first of the Chaos figures, and the second unit completed for the
Battle Masters armies. These were painted up to play the role of Soul
Reaver (i.e. Vampire) infantry in my Kings of War army as well, thus the
Halloween theme. I had been trying to figure out which figures to use for
the Vampires, and wasn't happy with the Mantic ones nor the GW ones, and then
I saw these and thought they were just perfect! Note the skull on the unit
base, and that I used the Renedra thin bases, so it works a bit better and sits flush
unlike the GW bases, which are higher.

Like the Empire unit, I think I will replace that original sticker
at some point, but for now, here's the rear of the unit!

Here's the base without the figures. Note the little skull!
Battle Masters Empire Men at Arms - Posted: October 21, 2019 - Manufacturer: Milton Bradley and Games Workshop
Here they are, the first unit of the Battle Masters box to be ready to play! Started on a whim, finished with some effort.
I reallit like the character of the figs, they are great in my eyes. The mono-pose aspect of it has charm in my opinion!
I think the base turned out pretty well also, but perhaps in the future I'll use thinner bases.

Here's the unit from behind. I decided to leave the old sticker on the back with the details on the unit's power, but
now I'm regretting it to be honest. I think I'll replace it with something nicer, something a little more stylish.

Here's a top view of the base for the Men at Arms. Easy to slot in the 20mm miniature bases, but still looks pretty
good once it's all together. Also, still - hopefully - relatively easy to store!
Battle Masters Empire Men at Arms - Posted: October 21, 2019 - Manufacturer: Milton Bradley and Games Workshop
The first of my Battle Masters units, started on a whim just because I liked the character of the figs so much!
The test figure is on the right, and it turned out well enough that I just went with it for the unit.
