The Empire army for the first scenario of Sigmar's Blood completed!

Just a couple of hours before the first quarter of 2014 was over I finished painting the last miniature (ie. the Witch Hunter) for the first scenario of Sigmar's Blood campaign.

10 Knights of the White Wolf (Full Command). These replace the Knights of the Burning Sun that are in the official list for the scenario, I just prefer Ulric to Myrmidia ;-)

10 Reiksguard Knights (Full Command). These are actually for the 4th scenario, but they were mostly completed anyway so I did them too.

Witch Hunter who will be the general of the army.

I also added a quick wash to some parts of the 10 Handgunners I had painted many years ago. I am still not quite happy with them, maybe I will ditch them at some point and paint some new ones instead.

And here's the full army:
1 Witch Hunter, 20 Swordsmen, 10 Handgunners, 10 Knights and 1 Great cannon.

Those who have read the scenario book might notice that the official lists have 8 knights in the unit and I made 10 of each. The reason is that I prefer that unit size and as I had extra models I increased the unit sizes by 2.

I had set the Vampire Count army as an extra goal, but did not get any significant progress towards that one. We will see what will happen during Q2...
