    Here's a few army-wide shots. You can see from the photos that not all of the units are completely finished. :( I've also added a few models to this Empire since I took these photos. (Luminark, Helstorm Volley Gun, etc.)

    @Chicken Lips

    So how many points would that army total?

    Me and my son are almost ready for our first battle, I'm well excited!

    Well, that's around 9,000-10,000 points of Empire. But that is only limited by the number of core troops that I can take. If I were to get more Core, then that number would definitely go up. Core is ALWAYS the limiting factor.

    Empire is my first and biggest army, but the rest of them aren't too far behind. I'll have to set up the rest for army-wide shots. Maybe this weekend?

    Make sure to block off all day! And take lots of pictures! You'll want to remember it!

    Here are a few Demigryphs that I've made. (I have another box that I got off eBay for practically nothing, but I haven't put them together yet.) And I also made 3 Demiwolfs to fit my Middenheim theme (City of the White Wolf). I use the Demiwolfs as my Halberdier Knights.

    Sorry for the poor quality pics.

    The Demiwolves look great. Cool minis and painted very well. I actually much prefer your conversion over the standard Demigryphs. :)

    I thought I might try to put this video up as a quick overview of my High Elves.

    Just click on the image to play.

    What an impressive collection. That's a lot of pointy ears... but we'll forgive you for that since they are painted so nicely! ;) How many points do you have there?

    Oooh, close to 9K. But again, that is determined by how much I can pour into core.

    Great job... it looks great (even if it is Skaven!). I always liked that model. Was it a commission work for your friend or as a favour?

    Just as a favor for a friend of mine. He's getting started with Warhammer and I wanted to support him and give him a little motivation to keep going. I haven't ever done any commission work, even though I've been asked about it plenty. I just wouldn't know where to start as far as pricing.

    That's really cool of you to do. He must have been very appreciative. How is the rest of his painting coming along? Skaven is an intimidating army to paint up... I couldn't imagine having to paint that many models.

    Not too bad for a beginner! He was getting really intimidated by the number of models that he had, but once I explained that he really only needed to paint the front rank in good detail, he calmed down about the whole thing and really started getting after it. I've done several pieces for him, mostly because I wanted to give him some variety to look at and compare, get ideas and also pieces that he'd need to play (Like a general).

    I've always liked the new Screaming bell. Very nicely painted buddy!

    Phew! I just finished setting up and taking pics (rather sorry pics, but pics none-the-less) of my Dwarf Throng. As with all of my armies, still a work in progress...

    Lol, yeah, I have a lot of stuff! only about half of which is painted. Honestly, I've been trying to build up my stock pile since we just had the quads. I really won't be buying anything else except on the very rare occasion. It'll keep me going for a long time yet.
