Soon! Hopefully tonight or on Sunday. I have been very busy with other stuff (work, family).
But what names would Hammerlendings have? We have Baron Shinzar, but what would the names of the normal warriors be?

Some names that cropped up in our multiplayer games:
- Zager Krahl (Rekenarim scout/assassin) - Gilir Drozh (Rekenarim) - Naamaz Akona (female Kondulage Archer) - Shukek Hernad (Drakkarim Assault Trooper) - Xarnina (female Kogadez Medic) - Magnokar (Kogadez Medic) - Master Rakhan (Drakkarim Slaver of Ogia) - Ligaan (retired Drakkarim Assault Trooper)
I've been called a "Drakkarim expert" by some on this board, so feel free to ask me if you want any advice or opinions!

This looks great! I'm going to be following your progress, so keep them pics coming Great job on the painting, the highlights and shading look fab. I'll need to read up on this battle of Cetza.

I'm thinking of use them for some kind of skirmish game. Maybe each game is a phase of the battle (cetza). One game could be the attack on the bridge, another the charge of the temple on the hill, a third the ambushes in the alleys of Cetza. I have started re-reading both versions of the battle and taking notes.
After the Hammerlendings and Brigandi are done I will paint some Eruan and Lencian infantry. Among them a simple Eruan pathfinder.
My main problem right now is to find Drakkarim heads and shields. (and finding time to paint al this).

For the Drakkarim, you can use the Chaos Knights from the Warhammer series - they fit the role perfectly!

Yes, they are nice.
But I'm really confused about the helmets. Did only Death Knights use helmets looking like skulls? Or did normal Drakkar also use them?

I think normal Drakkar had death-masks that were just grotesue designs, Death Knights actually had the white skull faces on.
