Nordland Halberdiers

  A few photographs of my work in progress Empire halberdiers. The figures are from Artizan Designs with a few Citadel pieces (the Standard and halberd heads). The hafts are made from 1.2mm plastic rod, any larger and it would have seemed unwieldy. Overall I am quite happy with the finished unit. As of now they have been scraped and cleaned some more and finally undercoated.

I also received another unit of 20 Landsknechts that will be pikemen/spearmen. While they are assembled and based in the same manner as the halberdiers I have no photographs to share.

In other news the Mordheim campaign has begun and during which Heinrich's Heroes lost their first game rather dramatically. Having suffered five out of actions which resulted in the death of one witch hunter, one witch hunter being sold to the pits and losing against the pit fighter and the loss of one warhound. In turn the opponents suffered one out of action, a dwarf slayer. This is despite the heroic actions of the warrior priest managing to knock down and stun the Dwarf thane twice. Overall it was not a great time for the band but a few figures at least got some experience which hopefully with another game will lead to greater things.
