Halberd Horde Finally Finished

Last night I finally finished the command group for my halberds. It's a 40 strong unit but I bulk it to 50 in most games with 10 spearmen.

Halberdier Horde

Also got a few games in the week before last. Here's some shots taking on my friends Lizards. Got a big win on this one which is always nice.

Battle for the Pass on my plain MDF's :)

The refused left flank holds

The right flank charges forward to take on the Temple Guard & CO Riders

A work in progress shot of my war altar. Excited to nearly have all this finished. It'll be my first fully painted warhammer army that was done all pretty much at the same time, same colour scheme etc..

Captasus to the rescue!!!

Time to play test having a flyer in my Empire ranks. Painted up a Captain on Pegasus and now just need to find some room in my standard 2400 list.

Backup has arrived

I think I'm going to play test dropping the Steam Tank!!! That'll give me room to keep my GM and I can bring another canon as well as the Captasus.

Brief run down of the list is

1 x Captusus - 1+ rerollable 

1 x GM - Warhorse, Runfang,  OTS
8 x Inner Circle Knights 

1 x Captain BSB - 5+/5++ (Not happy with lack of protection here)
1 x Warrior Priest
1 x Lvl4 Light - 4++/Scroll
37 x Halberdiers - FC

4 x Demigryph Knights - Mus/Preceptor

5 x Pistoliers with Mus
5 x Knights with Mus 

1 x Hurricanum

1 x Engineer
1 x Helblaster
2 x Great Canons

I also got my War Altar in the mail so that's next to get painted up.

Ready for some undercoat

Averland Empire Army - EOY 2013 Status

I thought it would be useful to document where my Averland army made it up to in 2013.

I started painting this back in August and had a 2400 point version of it finished in time for Castle Assault. At that time I didn't get the Celestial Hurricanum finished but it was good enough to go.

Bulk of the army painted

Since then I've finally finished the Hurricanum, which took far more time than I thought, and I think it turned out ok.

Celestial Hurricanum finished

I'm adding a horde of halberdiers now to add that much needed punch. I see why everyone fields them, particularly with buffs from priests and light magic. End of today I should have 20 finished with another 17 to go. Here's a shot of the test figure as well as the finished 17 (another 3 about to be done today), and the other 17 primed and ready for their turn.

In the mail is a War Altar and Peg Knight (to use as a Captain on Pegasus) which should give me a bit of variability in my lists. I also have 4 mages and 2 old light acolyte's which I'll paint up if I want to field a full light council.  

In the cupboard I have 5 more knights, 40 odd handgunners, 10 crossbows, 2 cannons and a mortar if I ever want to expand and paint them. Maybe if I get an opportunity to play a 4k game this year.

I think for now, my Empire purchases are complete (hahah LOL) and after the War Altar and peg knight are painted I can get stuck back into my Orcs again :)
