The Hochland Engineers

[bloated corpse]

A small 1200pt Empire force I completed earlier this year for a doubles competition (allied with Uncle Al's McStuntie dwarf clan) - based on the idea of a small engineering school developing experimental weapons. I added the Hochland reference because I like the red and green colour scheme and long rifles, plus I have some foot troops painted up in that colour scheme which I might tranfer to the cobblestone basing.

The painting is pretty basic - base colours and then mud wash, followed by a limited amount of 'tidy up" highlighting.

Got a few giggles anyway

HA!

Both the concept and the painting are brilliant! They must have been exceptionally fiddly to get right! How long did the whole 1200 points take you?

I can't quite remember 

Worked on it on and off over a few months.

Thanks for the comment on the painting but that Devlan Mud wash hides a lot of sins.

[Aa7]

loving the whole concept where did you get the models from?

The cyclists are all from Eureka miniatures 'Pax Limpo' range - a sort of colonial clockwork/steam punk work.

I also have some of their clockwork battle suits as Inferno Golems in my Indy GT Chaos Dwarfs
