I started work on the first unit of my halfmen army . It is a militia unit. The unit is supposed to be made up of farmers living around the town of Gelsen-Kirchen. A town famous for its church ( Kirche means church in german). It is lead by a very famous old warrior who fought many battles against the yellow Kobolds of Dort-Mund. In these battles he lost an eye and a leg but he still wants to get back into the fight. His name is Ass Hauer :

Here is the unit:

I started painting them yesterday so not much progress to be shown here. I will post new pictures as soon as I finished the first figures.

The Westfalia kickstarter miniatures arrived!!!!!

The Halfmen from Westfalia Miniatures arrived the other day!!! Thank you Kawe the figures are little gems indeed! As you can see above my kickstarter order was quite large. I will build a Dragon Rampant army with 9 units. 1 spear armed one , 1 helebard armed one, one peasant one , one bow unit, one goat rider unit, the paymaster on giant, a mixed spear and bow unit, a sorcerer with acolyte , and Dietrich von Schalke the army general. So a lot to paint and glue. This project will take me through the winter month and then right on time for the next GoT season I will do more of the human type of fantasy figures!

So here are the figures I got:

The army general

The paymaster on giant

The sorcerer with his acolyte

The goat riders

the peasants

the archers

the helbardiers

and the spearmen

Of course I have figures for the leaders musicians and banner bearers for each unit. Next up will be pictures of the units when I built the figures.
