As much as I'm in love with The Old World, I'm far too impatient to keep waiting for all the releases to come out before I can play with all my different armies. I have a LOT of models from Warhammer Fantasy days, but to fill in gaps for The Old World, I'm 3d printing what isn't currently available. I will still be supporting the game every way that I can as I obviously want it to succeed, but for now Proxywars‪@Touret972‬ is where I'm going! They are an awesome 3d printing service with a ton of licences to print out models and ship them direct to your door, ready for painting! This specific Empire knights are designed by Highland Miniatures! It's a great way to access very cool designs at very reasonable cost if you're not able to 3D print your own!

Basing scheme for this model:
AK Terrain Dark Earth texture paste
Ryza Rust (dry) brush
Screaming Skull (layer) dry brush

Reiksguard don't exist yet in the old world in the current setting. So they can be knights of sigmars blood or another red coloured order. Basically they can function in any state, easier to justify in any themed empire list too.

@mjhsinclair Ай бұрын

This scheme looks great. As an alternative could you use a version of the scheme you do for Black Templars on Empire Knights? I feel like Empire should be gritty compared to Bretonnians and I always love how that dark armour comes out (and it does work with colours beside black.)

@elwindil8566 Ай бұрын

Excellent paint job, model looks positively amazing. What throws me off about it is the sculpt itself, the armor is too close to the legs of the horse, it's only a tiny nit pick I know, but if that horse was at a full gallop, the armor would interfere with movement. Maybe I'm just being nit picky because of my love of history and historical accuracy, which shouldn't apply in our fun fantasy games I suppose.

@MediocreHobbies Ай бұрын

That’s a fair point but I do believe there was indeed horses with even more armour.

@seanoneill8169 Ай бұрын

Great video as always. The only critique is the neck of the horse. It looks like it has barding straps but not full leather covering the neck.

@MediocreHobbies Ай бұрын

Hmmm I’m fairly sure it’s a cover but I mite be wrong.

@henriksorensen82 Ай бұрын

The units that have done best in my Empire army are regular knights, demigryph knights and militia. Greatsword is okay, but as you say they don't perform as well as in 8th edition.

@MediocreHobbies Ай бұрын

Militia??? Really.

@henriksorensen82 Ай бұрын

@@MediocreHobbies Yes, which costs nothing and I've certainly had a blast with the dice, but if you have enough, I've run with 7 wide and when they get chagged, you run Stand & Shoot with Multiple Shots (2), meaning that they throw 14 random things and if the dice gods are on your side you've reduced the attacker's unit enough for your Militia to be useful. All of this is based on you getting good dice rolls and your opponent not having a very good Army save or ward save. But against regular infantry they are very good, I even had an Empire Knight down with them.

@intzbk1 Ай бұрын

Nice video as always! Yea, there are some old school models I would love to have but not at eBay prices. I'm currently making a mounted Repanse de Lyonesse using some leftover parts. I used arms and banner from the Novitiates Kill Team, the torso and head from the Immolator flame tank, and the legs and shield from the Knights of the Realm. I removed the hand from one of the lances and positioned it as seen in some of the pictures I saw online. The only issues were the gap between the torso and legs and creating the gorget to cover the SoB air hoses.

I got some Highland Miniatures knights, bought pre-printed etc from a different group than your sponsors, but I felt they were a little too small, at first glance, compared to my old plastics and metal knights. Maybe I should put some together and make a proper judgement. But I've 20 Reiksguard foot knights to prep and paint first so another time for the Highland stuff I think.

It's a medevil knight, it's great that you highlight minitures like these but trying to link them to Geedubs models is just trying to put a target on their backs when in reality the minitures work with any fantasy setting wargame.

@MediocreHobbies Ай бұрын

It's what I'll use them for though, obviously they work for any game but there's no point in me making a video talking about a game I've never played. I don't highlight creators that are copying GW IP and therefore at risk of being stopped, these guys are cool though.

I'm using highland minis rather than copies of Warhammer brand Warhammer. I originally got them to play OPR but no one has complained yet. I think some warhammer players hate when you do that.

Remember folks, the only time that you 'have to' use GW models in a GW game is in a GW controlled environment (store, tournament, etc); as I understand it, this is very much the minority of played GW games. ANY other time and ANY other place, you're free to use whatever you want ☺👍
