Slow Grow Challenge 2026 - Basilea!

[dan_sasuga]

Hi again!

So I started strong with Nightstalkers but I’ve always had love for the human side. Basilea was my very first purchase when Kings of War launched but I NEVER got to painting them. The “new” men-at-arms sculpts are amazing and I just kept buying boxes and boxes.

Today, that reign of unpainted mini ends and marks the start for Basilea! I always loved yellow coloured armies, so I’m bringing that to my Basilea (Black Yellow themed).

I hope to finish the following by next month and a bit more before Clash of Kings UK, where I’ll very likely bring Basilea to the fray!

2 Hordes of Men-At-Arms Spearmen
3 Regiment of Men-At-Arms Spearmen
(I love hordy looking armies. Each horde would have 34 bodies and regiment 18 bodies, making it a total of 118!)
3 Regiments of Ogre Palace Guard
1 Regiment of Elohi
1 Regiment of Cavalry
1 Horde of Sisters
Alanis
Samacris
Jullius
That old named model on a lion removed
Abbess
War Priest
Dictator

WIP!

Ogre palace guards. They turned out great!

They look impressive, like a whole unit of Mountains from Game of Thrones.

Carrying on with characters!

Those look awesome! Love the yellow and black colour scheme.

“ Yeah, uh-huh, you know what it is
Black and yellow, black and yellow, black and yellow “

Nothing wrong with the white and blue from Mantic, but yours look really nice or noble.

But I have to admit the character sculpts are really nice too.

It’s a pity that the war wizards strangly disappeared, but are still mentioned in the background.

And the priest reminds me of Stargate Oori (or something like that)

The colour scheme is great!

Yellow can be a tough colour to look right, but you seem to have nailed it.
