Overview of my completed armies

Edit 2025: The original blog post was back in 2019 when I started this blog. Since then (see my hobby posts) many armies have been expanded or updated, but this blog post and some of the army pages haven’t. Recently I updated my Topaz army page, the rest may be updated someday too!

Such is the way of an expanding collection, it’s hard to keep up with the painting! Thanks for your understanding!

Original post (2021)

This blog post shows all armies that I built over the past years. As this is nowhere completed, expect this blog post to be updated from time to time. (Edit 2024: ahem….) It seems I’m severely lacking in pictures of the majority of my armies. Some armies might even get a page of their own.

As for my armies, I’ve got two ongoing “main” armies, undead and humans. Furthermore there are several projects which I have finished. (I might restart them from time to time though)

See below for an overview:

Ongoing: The army of Topaz

My main-main army is the Yellow-black liveried army of Topaz. The completed army page can be found elsewhere, but here’s the overview:

The cavalry part of this army also went with me to Clash of Kings (2023)

As this is my main army, It’s been built over the years. (I started it during Warhammer 5th edition, early 2001 or 2002). Ever since 2015 the army has slowly been expanded and converted to KoW, but even now there’s still quite a few single-based models.

My interest with this army waxes and wanes, mainly since I can get better effects on the battlefield from my undead army. As this army has my heart in the hobby department, I even wrote some fluff for it.

Ongoing – My undead army

My undead army page can be found here:

If my main human army is used mainly as a hobby project, my undead are my main gaming army. Back in 2019, I did a photo shoot for my complete army. Some of the last large projects are: an undead dragon and my recent army of darkeness skeleton horde. As you can see, my undead haven’t been on the forefront of my hobby projects lately! They do see the table from time to time, though!

All-in, I think my undead are probably my largest army in terms of points (over 10,000 in total without upgrades/magical items), while my humans (see above) are probably the largest in terms of models.

The army features as both undead and empire of dust, depending on my whims.

Finished: the army of Eybost

My 2nd human army is officially finished. (until I feel like expanding it, obviously) It once started as an ebay purchase, but I multibased it into a KoW worthy 2,000 point army. The army page can be found here.

Finished: Swamp things

My 2017 swamp things (Rules for Abyssals) army had to be rebuilt using Clash’19 rules. Fortunately, my model collection is large enough to do so. Here’s the information:

That said, this I feel particularly satisfied with this army as this is the first time I started to build an army from scratch and finished it within 6 months. I also love the basing theme, which depicts a ruinted temple. the fact that the army sits idle since 2019 doesn’t matter anyhow.

Original blog post and pictures are here:

Edit: early 2025 (!) I restarted the army building the following abyssal berserkers:

so, depending on success, this army may actually hit the field once again!

Goblin army

My goblin army started out as a detachment. See below how it started:

The goblin army started out as a small detachment to my undead armies in 2018. Since then, my interest has waxed and waned over time, cumulating in bringing them to Clash of Kings 2023 as a full-fledged 90% Mantic Army!

The army page hasn’t been updated yet, but there’s plenty of pictures there!

Finished: Armada Basileans

I love how my Armada Basileans look. I haven’t played them often enough, but they look gorgeous! It’s one of these projects that I return from time to time, but for now, it’s finished.

You can find the fleet page here:

Finished: Dwarven detachment

At the start of Kings of War 2nd edition, I built a “dwarven” detachment consisting of:

• horde of earth elementals
• Iron beast (steam tank)
• Banner bearer

totalling exactly 500 points. The reason I built this detachment is because I wanted to use the Steam tank and uncharted empires hadn’t been released yet.

I even used it a few times. The elementals/banner have been painted as a subsidary of Topaz.

Of course, this detachment is so much forgotten that I never even took pictures. EDIT: Finally got around of taking the picture. Here’s them:

Finished: horde of shock troops.

This horde of shock troops is no longer mine. It was a gift to my brother. The pictures are still here, though.
