Well I decided it's time to part with another Warhammer Fantasy army - The Empire. I originally used some of these models when I was collecting and playing Dogs of War. When I sold my Dogs of War army I started to play Empire. I've always found Empire tricky much like Vampire counts, mostly because of having to get spells / prayers off to make the troops useful.

My main reasons for moving this army on are:

1. I will never get this army painted in my lifetime.

2. I didn't intend to play Empire from the onset.

3. From mostly playing the previous book I feel the Empire has taken a hit (see next)

4. Until other book such as High Elves,Skaven,WoC, Dark Elves & Daemons are remade the Empire will not be a fun army to play IMHO.

So now I'm going to focus on painting and bolstering my other two armies - High Elves & Vampire Counts

I had arranged a revisit/replay of the Abbey of La Maisontaal scenario (from an old Warhammer Chronicles book) with some friends who have Skaven & Bretonnian armies, The plan was to play this game out this year with the majority if not all of the models painted - hopefully we can still achieve this :)

From memory the Skaven took the day (histoically the Bretonnians won)

Well here goes my first post for blogger.

I'm currently working on a High Elves Lion Chariot which I first under coated back in September 2011. I've finished other projects since then but this one has been on the back burner for some time.
