    Hey bro, i am absolutely in love with your project as i said in your first video! As a fellow Empire enthusiast (i got "only" three Empire thematic armies lol) i hope you'll accept a humble tip or two in the assembling and painting of your GREAT Marienburg themed army.
    - Start to paint the most basic unit to study the color theme, the heraldry and the positioning.
    - There are NO error in painting your army. Actually, its YOUR painting history on display and you should be proud of seeing how good you have become through every unit, from start to finish.
    - An empire army is characterized, like many, from it's centerpiece. If i understood correctly you are planning to put a friggin' Landship in it, so when it comes to that put extra effort in both modelling and painting, it will be the first thing that catch everybody's eye when you show your army.
    - If you don't feel confident enough, you can always commission the painting of the centerpiece to a studio. But ONLY for the centerpiece!
    - Variation is the key to spectacularization. But judging the roster you've picked you are a-ok in that area! The only thing i might suggest would be a GW Black dragon and a Elf Lord on it to make an nice version of Asarnil the Dragonlord, wich is perfect for a Dogs of War army such as yours!
    - Paint, if you can, _every day_ . Just for a hour, just for half-an hour even and maybe just priming, but do it everyday, trust me. It will get esier and less of a chore!
    - Hot pockets should be left to rest 5 minutes before eating, the cheese is like lava.
    Sorry for the giga comment but i amrelly thrilled to see haow it will all come togheter.
    For Sigmar, brother!

    This is an awesome journey. Back when I had aspirations of building my own Warhammer army I wanted to go very thematic too, less about winning strategies, more about tying the units together in a story. Also the same way I built Magic decks back in the day. That meant I got trounced a lot, but for me the fun was in building the story and the deck.
    And I really don't blame you for your hesitancy, back when I first got into painting minis the hardest brush stroke for me was the first one. Once I had color on something I was committed, but actually getting started? I was so afraid of ruining things.

    • @jordansorcery
      @jordansorcery  Год назад +1

      It’s such a fun way to build an army to me, just follow the inspiration. Though I’m sure I’ll be cursing myself when I get to the table!
      My in universe justification for any bizarre army lists is that Ponsard Trudot was just enlisting whichever mercenaries were available and that he could afford, even if they don’t make for a well considered force!

Keep up the great work!

    @robperkins2085 Год назад +1

    My two cents worth Jordon is that this army is going to be something you want to feel good about years after you've completed it. With that said, take your time and enjoy the process. Try to drop the "how few paints can I get away with" mindset and instead apply yourself to each unit to the best of your ability. One tip I can offer is to make sure you clean up ALL the mold lines, sprue tabs etc. It takes zero skill to prep a model prior to priming and painting - so don't skip this step. Nothing ruins the look of a painted army than mold lines everywhere...it's lazy and sloppy.
    Looking forward to your progress on this 'signature' army!

    Just seen the brand new Cities of Sigmar AoS models, they have quite a bit of an oldhammer look and feel. and could be easily used for Empire, otherthan maybe some of the female figures (I can imagine magicians and engineers/gunners being ladies from the less affluent classes, but Knights are a no-no).

    Lookig good!
    I´m not a great painter either.. I do enjoy building and converting, however.. Took med more than two decades to actually paint a Warhammer-army.. Though I painted some Flames of War companies, 15 years ago..

      When I get myself over to the Uk, I´ll bring my Orcs & Goblins so you can beat them.. ;)

      Fingers crossed I get mine done in less than two decades, but no guarantees!
