Thanks Paul.

How about some Reiksguard Knights:

Those are the pictures I waffle on about them on the blog:

But what you see is what you get, very late 3rd ed Perry sculpts painted very quickly. They have been painted before and I've just realised I've done nothing at all with the bases since then. I'll tidy that up by BOYL14 but they look fine from war gamming distance.

Time for some more helblitzen this time some foundry reissues with some conversions lead by an old citadel here are the photos:

A couple of blurry ones, sorry my camera is with the wife after holidays, must get it back before Friday.

More discussion and back story for this unit on the blog if you are so interested:

Great job with the head swaps
It's really made quite a difference.
I'm also impressed you managed to get so many copies of that guy where the halberd head didn't fall off on being exposed to non-blister air

Great work on those knights Erny - I'll let the boyz know to bring their can openers

They'll be happy to see that the Helblitzen come complete with their own spit for roasting

The chap with the beard?

Nope almost all had the halberd head fall off at the hand, I drilled a very shallow hole into each hand just larger than width of the weapons handle/pole and glued it back in making each a fraction of a mm shorter. They don't like being dropped from too great a height but otherwise are quite strong.

Thantsants, you'll have to get over the big wall first.
