Fireforge Byzantine Spearmen or the Nilfgaard Empire

 As mentioned previously, I was looking for a Human Army that looked different to my (many) existing (or planned) armies.

I chose to use the Fireforge Byzantine Spearmen and Auxileries as the basis.

Here is the test piece.

After an underocat of Citadel Chaos Black and a further coat of thinned Vallejo Black, the skirt, leggings and helmet skirt were painted with Vallejo Black Grey. The (non standard) boots are Citadel Steel Legion Drab - the main build will be black. The spear is Vallejo Old Wood. The strap is Citadel Mournfang Brown.
The black parts of the figure were dry brushed with Vallejo Black Grey followed by a mix of Vallejo London Grey and Black Grey. All black parts were then washed with Citadel Nuln Oil.
The figure will be fitted with the tear drop shield, not sure how I am going to do the Sunburst mark.
The scale armour does bear a resemblance to the odd Nilfgaard armour form the television series.
