This year I came from Corvus Belli's Interplanetario with a bag full of Warcrow loot. Most of it was what I was missing to complete my Hegemony of Embersig force. Sadly I could not find the Black Legion officers but most of the other wants ended up in the basket.
Arquebussiers were one of the miniature sets I was most looking forward to paint. Those pavise shields would look great with my reflective metal color scheme. It was a lot of fun to paint the trees and the flower fields on them. For the rest of the colors I followed my Bucklermen recipe with golds, burgundy and tan.
My third horse ever was the mounted hetman. I had been looking for her for a while as I use my army for One Page Rules and under that ruleset units are usually 3-men size. With her now I can deploy a full cavalry regiment for my human empire forces.
I also managed to grab some of the single blister characters like Marhael and the Strategos. For Marhael I tried to give him a more somber apparance, using a dark blue tunic under his black officer jacket, and try to make the light on him come from the magical effect on his blade.
For the strategos, I was not too fond of the oficial painting scheme so I tried to give my strategos and older veteran look, with graying hair and a small moustache he looks like he is judging you in a job interview.
For the Black Legions Supports I was really looking forward to paint the Falchion as she is one of the few elves on the faction, I mirrored the colors from the existing Aestari mage as they are supposed to be twins and fight together.
For the dwarf engineer I focused mostly on the metals on her wrench and I had to add a blueish white shirt to make her colors fit with the overall theme of the army so she wouldn't feel out of place when joinign units of dwarf pioneers.
