The Empire Responds to the invasion of the Uruk Hai

About the Project
I have spent a few years building a large terrain board, some small armies and one large army of Uruk hai. I now want to build up another army to match the size and force of the orcs (Uruk hai) and goblins (Moria). The only two forces I have of any scale is undead and Empire, my mates have some empire too so I shall do my empire principally. And we can use the allies from other human provinces during games to top us up in points as high as possible while the forces slowly come together. Though I may get distracted from the slog again from time to time. This is now part of the process! So expect: undead, Men of Numenor , Eregion Elves, Morian Dwarves and maybe even some dungeon saga. Possibly a small bit of sci fi too as I’ve wanted to get on to my Aliens from the film for ages! But mostly, FOR THE EMPIRE!!!! And dogs of war…..

The mercenaries are coming together
I’m really pleased with the warlord games galloper guns being used as Bronzino and crew. The games workshop Khandish horse are very pleasing as horse archer proxies, quite happy there. I adoooore the hussars!!
The foot knights are fantastic miniatures but I think I’ve fucked up the paint job somewhat. I don’t fully know what I’ve done wrong but the skin is not right, the shields are not right, the banner is not right and overall the unit feels……Meh. What could I do to remedy the situation? All thoughts are desired please!
Go red team! Go blue team! 
Go Green team!Hussar! Winged hussar! And some Khandish on the way
I’ve been wanting Kislev and now I’m getting on with it! But Kislev need galloper guns. Why!? Because I say so!
Go warlord games and Lotr Khandish. I’ve enjoyed doing the winged hussars sooooo much. They are my best work I’ve ever done and my favourite models I’ve ever owned.
Converting a Khandish ice wizard was fun as was a boyar using the spare winged hussar leader torso I had.
That historic grounding in my fantasy is so important, these minis do that job beautifully.
Sprues and metals, loveliness.
Khandish chariots will be elf chariots and the Rohan horse are to be converted into Numenorean light horse. But there is tonnes in there.
In coming
Wow it’s time to determine what I paint next. There is tonnes made up with most of it primed, I’ve got to narrow the field a bit with this much!
Thinking a special or rare unit with two more basic troop units would be a good start. But I really want my artillery and provision train for an ambush scenario.
Oh but there is also that lovely religious Carrachio line for a steal the holy relic scenario.
Aaarggh I don’t know!
And I’ve got 4 boxes full of Lotr Last alliance elves and men. More empire foot troops, plenty of winged hussars, pistoliers, Kislev horse archers (lotr Khandidh horsemen) more knights, a generals coach and horses and a large quantity of other Lotr last alliance elves etc. all for the pickings of the good alliance against the orcs and undead! Where do I start!?!?!Artillery, make ready for inspection.
The bases are supplied as standard with this ordnance battery set from warlord games for their pike and shotte range. They are resin casts and they do look lovely!
