[Archives] Imperial Archers

Updated on October 15, 2015. These are the 10 Imperial Archers from the Battle Masters game. These will be used as Empire Archers in Age of Sigmar. Including the Imperial Men-at-Arms and Imperial Crossbowmen, they were my first units of troops to be painted. I found painting 5 of the same miniatures at one time is a good compromise between painting efficiently and reducing the tediousness of painting the same type of miniatures.

Notes: Originally, I wanted to paint the puffy regions of clothing to be red (inner lining) and white (outer portion); however, at that time it was too difficult for me to do it cleanly. So I decided to just keep it white. I clip one foot off from its plastic slot to allow the archers to angle slightly left or right a bit. This allows the back row of archers to be flushed with the front row (for the blocks of troops used in previous Warhammer Fantasy games). Original binder notes for these miniatures are on Page 17.
