3000+ points of Averland - Army Showcase - My first Army for Warhammer The Old World

Last time I showed you the process of refurbishing my Warhammer Averland Army - to get it up and running for Warhammer The Old World. Today I want to give you an indepth look on all the units and tell you how they came about, why I chose them and how they worked out for me in my 12 matches so far.
My mate and I have a small company, we design Miniatures, Terrain and Hobby Accessoires. If you want to check them out you can find them here:

That's one nice army to have.

[@arthyficial]

Thank you. All of them look gorgeous when fully painted. Nothing beats having a match with 2 fully painted armies.

[@PortalWombatYT]

Love to hear about the background of some of those units and how you kitbashed them. It breathes so much life into something as simple as a plastic kit.

[@arthyficial]

That's what it's all about and the magic of war games.

[@chaosfrogs7]

Such a gorgeous army!

[@arthyficial]

Thank you very much

[@blackdenim23]

I love seeing these armies come back to the table, and the personal background stuff!

[@arthyficial]

Thank you. Glad you liked it. I thought it makes it much more personal and relateable.

What an awesome video. I don’t even play, I just recently got back into painting, since childhood. All these models are new to me and I loved experiencing your joy and enthusiam in the hobby.

[@arthyficial]

That's so nice to read. I wanted to bring a bit of Hobby positivity between all these negative videos I get recommended daily. There is so much to enjoy in our hobby, have fun painting.

Beautiful army!!

[@chouleo]

When you said Hochland, i immediately knew you were german. :D Great Army btw.

[@ja37d-34]

Looks great.

[@Mioum]

You are correct about the Empire Captain as your Greatsword Champion! Got the same model and its a great model to have! Also, you mention you don't like the gold armour of the Inner Circle Knights, but I really really like that part myself! They standout and they look great that way (and look like Blazing Suns knights too so that's good!). Love the black and yellow colour of the army overall, really striking!

[@arthyficial]

Thank you so much. I will keep those inner circle knights the way they are then.

[@DavidMcCann-j9h]

A really enjoyable video, with a great looking Empire army. The big take away for me though was your thoughts about your army. And that it was crafted with such care n a joy at making a stunning looking army.... especially your hand painted banners! Keep up the good work.

[@arthyficial]

Thank you so much. I will.

[@everydayisfriday4885]

Beautiful army! Cool video, I thought it may be a little long, but it was very entertaining.

[@arthyficial]

Thank you. I try to keep the length in check. Sometimes I have too much to share though. :P

Green and white is stir river patrol (A unit of striland) hochland is green and red

[@arthyficial]

Now that you said it I remembered. I think I saw them in the 7th edition Army book.

[@RustedBrush]

I love your army! Great explanation on everything too! Subbed!

[@arthyficial]

Thank you, glad you liked it.

[@ernestgraves4401]

Very cool❤

[@ye_North_]

I like your new video idea that you dont just do tutorials.

[@arthyficial]

Glad to hear that. This is the video style that I will focus on in the future. There will be some tutorials when it's fitting but overall I enjoy the narrated, story time videos.

[@ritchiekolvers997]

Cool army and I really enjoyed your explanations!

[@arthyficial]

Thank you and happy you liked it. Was hoping it might help another casual empire player out.

So beautiful 💖💖

[@arthyficial]

Thank you. And thanks for watching and commenting again.

[@vendivichivici]

Very cozy explanation of your army and was a delight to listen too while I cook. It's been great seeing your Averland come together. Have you considered any other Old World armies to try and dabble in?

[@arthyficial]

Thanks. And yes I have. I will follow a whole upcoming army project with a video series.

[@rupertjones5197]

Literally my dream army, I’m painting up averland at the moment. Your paint jobs are gorgeous dude, keep the brass/gold colour on the knights they look amazing!!! Fantastic video quality too dude 😊 what colours did you use to high light the yellow and black?

[@arthyficial]

Great and thanks. Have fun painting those black/yellow dudes. I might keep the Inner Circle knights like this afterall. I fear the yellow is no longer in production (I think). It was a very light yellow and it was one of the first "drybrush" paints they released back then in the citadel range. Maybe you can find something similiar to it. And unfortunately I cannot remember what the grey was, too long ago. ;)

[@Juample]

@@rupertjones5197 Ice yellow?

[@rupertjones5197]

@@Juample thanks dude I’ll have a look, I’ve been using a really really bright yellow and this looks way better

[@Bunyip_Studios]

The Bodyguard for my Mydas the Mean are a unit of Averland Halderdiers

[@arthyficial]

That sounds cool. A mixed empire army sure will also look great. With units from different provinces.

[@MaTTabletop]

Wunderschön! 👏👏👏

[@arthyficial]

Danke

[@Juample]

Try to use tiny units of 5-6 crossbow men or hand gunners as detachment of your infantry. Hold and fire reaction wounds now count to the combat result and in addition, you can deny some rank if you have luck.

[@arthyficial]

Thanks for your input! Unfortunately I tried those. I still struggle to get them having a good line of sight when using them. Always seems to scramble up my formation. Also I am mostly charging my enemy, even with infantery. Due to the fact that my cannons make them move towards me sorta headless. And as far as I know, you cannot give support fire anymore when you charge. Which is sad. I sometimes pick 5 as a detachment when I really have nothing else to fill those 35 core points.
