The next finished unit from my stack of unpainted lead is the Warhammer Nightmare Legion. I probably bought this somewhere around 89-90-91, when I was still in my Warhammer crazy days.
The Nightmare Legion was a set once sold under the banner of "Regiments of the Renown". These were a number of units specifically sold for Warhammer, and which included a number of rank-and-file troopers, but also the the command figures (a banner, musician, leader and champion).See some excellent posts (part 1 and part2) on the Realm of Chaos blog about the history of this range.
This unit will prove to be a good addition to my Undead Oldhammer army.
Note:The drummer was painted a couple of years ago, so he looks a little bit different compared to rest of the unit. I am also in doubt whether this particular standard bearer was part of the legion - at least not based on the numerous photographs to be found on the net. Throughout the years, my collection of unpainted lead has been mixed up quite a few times, hence the confusion.
Looks like an excellent addition for your Oldhammer army Phil!
ReplyDeleteYour right re your thoughts on the standard bearer - that figure is part of the broader skeleton range. The standard bearer for the nightmare legion has a v shaped standard which is pretty unusual and rather easily broken.
