Back in 2nd edition, many units that now have the Pot Shot special rule, did have the Reload special rule. While the guys at Counter charge (great show, btw) hail this as a massive improvement, I remain sceptical. In this blog post I'll try to point out why. First things first, what are the rules … Continue reading Sceptical about the Pot Shot rule
Finally, the uncharted Empires book has arrived! It required Mantic to Re-send it after the postal services lost it, but I got my grubby hands on the book. And with the book, I got the army lists for my other armies, the humans. (brotherhood, league, Kingdoms of Men) and I must say I love it. … Continue reading A new army for Kingdoms of Men
Recently I built this foot guard horde multibase. I was asked to make another multibase tutorial, so I recorded the building of this project. As usual, the multibase is a bit of a diorama. It depicts a road in the landscape, traveled by the unit. The road is lined with banners, to show that it's … Continue reading Tutorial – how to build the foot guard multibase
The christmas holidays have been productive from a hobby perspective. There's something end-of-yearish that encourages hobby time. Maybe it's the long, dark, nights, but spending the night underneath a daylight painting lamp is oddly pleasant. First of all, I rebased a horde of foot guard. I wanted to show the unit marching over a roman-type … Continue reading Hobby update – christmas holidays
I painted up a brock, part of a brock rider regiment. One. A singular Brock. He's the guy in the header. And he's painted. By me. While I wait for the world to aplaud this great achivement, let me explain the why: A mate of mine has had his army in boxes for a few … Continue reading Tutorial – painting the Brock
A few months ago (somewhere after Clash '19) I painted up a giant. The story's here: He's been used only a few times and needs to be rebased after KoW3. Since KoW3, the Giant is on a 75x75 base. I understand the giant base size for the Mantic giant, but my reaper bones giant looks … Continue reading Hobby update – rebasing the giant
Recently I discovered (after a query on the KoW forum) that the pictures of my zombie trolls weren't very good. Yesterday I had a moment to spare, so I took a few new pictures. This blog post also aims to tell where the miniature parts came from. Anyhow, there's 3 hordes of the Z-trolls which … Continue reading Showcase – zombie trolls
EDIT: The below models have found a new owner! original post: Recently I replied on the KoW forum that I have models laying around that I am willing to part with. (as so many wargamers, I own many more models than I'd ever paint) In this Blog Post, I'll show which models need a new … Continue reading Cleaning out the closet / models looking for new owner
Today little tekst, just some pictures of my most recent hobby exploits! I finally finished my 2nd regiment of sharpsticks! Here's the guys. In the background is the orignal regiment, they combine into a horde, as pictured below. I'm really happy this one is finished. In order to finish the 1,000 point army I just … Continue reading Hobby update – Horde of sharpsticks
It's not a secret that my human army has been used for -at least- four factions during 2nd edition. (I never did Varangur, I think) Now 3rd is starting to get rolling, I want to focus (for modelling and gaming, but also for fluff) on one army list at first. While the Kingdoms of Men … Continue reading Joining Basilea?
