Hi, dear fellow forumers!
As expected (if not planned
![MrGreen :mrgreen:](./images/smilies/icon_mrgreen.gif)
), I have been distracted from my current projects, as I woke up one morning with the wish to paint some troops for my 1/72 Warhammer Empire army. Maybe you remember my
Talabecland army painted in 2020 ? They had a yellow / red color scheme, which is fine but I wanted a little more variety, so I chose to represent the troops of another province of the Empire, this time Ostland with a black & white color scheme. You will see the first figures below, mainly Redbox figures from their Renaissance range:

And the guy from whom the idea has grown, the standard bearer (Ultima Ratio figure):

I think they fit well with the Talabeclanders:
