Riders of the Dead: Kislevtonia Plog

Post by Azure »

Well here goes nothing. After a few playing my Dark Elves since the start of 6th, I've decided its time to start something new. I've always loved the Kislevite models so essentially decided on converting an entire Bretonnian army using Kislevites. Heres a list of the conversions

Knights Errant: Old winged Lancer models
Knights of the Realm: Pistolier bodies, resin wings and converted lances
Grail Knights: Gryphon Knight models with added fur cloaks

Pegasus Knights: Island of Blood Griffin turned into eagle w/ cut down Horse Archers
Trebuchet(I didn't want to bring one but competition is competition unfortunately) is from RAFM miniatures

So far, I've finished a single unit of Grail Knights and one hero but I figured I'd post up a few pics to see what everyone thinks. So, without further ado, here you go!

Also, sorry about the picture quality, from my phone but hopefully you get the idea!

So, what does everyone think? I'll hopefully be getting some of the Knights of the Realm done in the coming week and I'll be sure to post them too provided there is some interest!

Nice idea. Kislevites dont get much love these days!

Proxying them as Brets = good modelling opportunity & fun rules :D

Phier: Kislevites are soldiers from Kislev, a nation located above the Empire in the Old World and loosely based on pre-Napoleonic Polish military forces. GW made models for them up until the start of 6th Ed.

Glad everyone is liking the, I'll try to keep posting pictures as I get more done!

Little worried about the size of the handguard but all the pictures of real knights showed them as quite large.

I ended up deciding to change the beads to a slight smaller one after comparing with my finished Grail Knights (Gryphon Legion) as I wanted them to be at least close to the same scale. So, I have a picture of that, as well as my first unit of 12 Knights of the Realm all lined up and assembled though I still need to greenstuff their back fur.

As I'm getting some Knights painted, I figured I'd give you a little teaser. The fourth Crewmen will be a bear carrying ammunition. For reasons why this bear is a necessity, I forward you to :http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wojtek_%28soldier_bear%29

As for the pictures of the WIP Treb, here you go!

Got an update for ya guys. First off, Voytek my Trebuchet helping Bear has been finished modelling wise!

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y191/A ... 288431.jpg

And I am nearing completion of my first unit of Knights of the Realm. Still need to base them and do touch ups but all in all, I'm relatively satisfied with the conversion.

So what does everyone out there think?

P.S. since I am doing 24+ Knights of the realm, I am painting all the horses the same color per batch. They won't all be the exact same shade of brown I swear!
