023 Spears at the ready! More old School Empire

Another delve into the dank depths of my old model collection has found more of the empire troops that I dabbled with late on before shutting down operations.

These spearmen are great little models, so simple but so characterful.

I particularly like the shield motif and I am worried that those are probably not available anymore now that these models have been replaced by the "state troops"

The Greatswords unit and the Reiksguard suffered the ignoble fate of being guys I was working on when the apathy for GW and painting in general hit so you can see they didnt really get beyond a test model or two.

Still they are cool models and still in production today although in the case of the Greatswords in Finecast rather than metal,

Finishing off these guys is on the list :-)
