A small Easterling update!

 

Easterlings: part 8 - first of the black dragons

Another small update on the easterling front. The first batch of black dragons is done.

 

Easterlings: part 7 - more warriors

And another batch of Easterlings!

 

Easterlings: part 6 - more Pikemen

I painted some more Easterling pikemen. Still some swordmen to do en then on to the Dragon emperor and Dragon knights!

Easterlings: part 5 - the new heroes and metal cavalry

After a short break, I'm bach with more Easterlings! 

I painted up the lovely new Forgeworld heroes and the old metal cavalry. The metal cavalry is so difficult to paint, it took a while. still happy with the result. The gleeming horde is growing.

Easterlings: Part 4 - Heroes

More progress, m heroes to join the golden horde! My easterling project is getting along. I have some more metal cavalry on the painting desk. The new heroes and an extra warband of warriors are on the way. And still looking forward to the dragon emperor and the new black dragon warriors!

Easterlings: Part 3 - Here comes the cavalry

 

The shadow in the east continues to rise. I added some more more cavalry to the golden horde.

I realy liked this sprue. So many options! I also converted an extra dragon knight to join the ranks:

Easterlings: part 2 Acolytes and a command set

 

I continued with the easterling forces and painted up the Acolytes from Forgeword and the old metal command set. More lovely old school models and the acolytes fit right in. Next up: some heroes!

Easterlings: Part 1 - A shadow in the east

A new year, a new army! every year I try to paint up a few new armies for my collection. And with al the new models being teased who better than the easterlings to start with. I already have a bunch of plastic warriors painted nearly two decades ago. So I continued with some good old metal warriors:

 

Casualties!

What a joy, the latest Made to order. Finally a rerelease of the casualty set.

I was searching for a few years now, but I never could buy them without selling a kidney first. So I painted them up as soon as they arrived.

Meanwhile we also continued with the Gondor at war campaign. In the latest battle "atop of the wall" the good side claimed an excellent victory. This evening the next battles will follow!
