It's been a while since I posted a hobby update. Mainly because of the fine weather, painting is very slow these days, but that's okay. KoW hobby time is -for me at least- partially a fall/winter thing. That said, I finished a pair of reaper bones scorpions. As with all reaper minatures, the detail isn't … Continue reading Hobby update and Scorpion comparison
Just a small update: Kings of War 3rd edition was announced! More information on the Mantic website here: Probably the rules will not chance so much. (they didn't last time), but the army lists will. As there was some room to improve 1st edition, I think the changes from KoW 1 to 2 were bigger … Continue reading Kings of War 3rd edition on the horizon: # hyped!
After numerous misunderstandings with the law, something had to be done about our Warlock's reputation. It's true that his communication may be lacking at times, so we tried to solve this by sending along our bard to translate his intentions. These are the results: Disclaimer: this blog post is just a bit of DnD fun. … Continue reading Bad DnD-jokes
When I started reviewing the Kingdoms of Men army list, this was mainly because of my frustration with shooters and war machines. After this, I posted some ideas for characters and infantry. Not to leave a process near the the end, this post describes the final part of the Kingdoms of Men army, cavalry and … Continue reading Improving the Kingdoms of Men Army – here is the cavalry
Yes, it's a bad pun. Enjoy. This week I finished a Giant. He's both useful for Kings of War (ever since the Kingdoms of Men list includes giants) and for DnD (where we are playing Stormking's thunder right now) so he fills two roles. I wasn't particulary impressed with the Reaper Bones minature when it … Continue reading A ‘Giant’ hobby update
My first battle report on this blog! Though it's not as interesting a battle report as I would have hoped, I'm more than happy to share. Doing so helps me improving the play with my Brotherhood army. Furthermore, I learned that writing battle reports is an art in itself that takes some time to master. … Continue reading Battle report: Brotherhood vs Goblins
Last week I posted my finished Brotherhood army of 1,500 points. In the future there's chance of expansion to 2,000 points, but as of now painting is slow due to summer weather. In this post I'll be trying out an alternative build for this army using the Kingdoms of Men army list. First things … Continue reading Alternative builds for the Brotherhood army
Remember the multibase slot that I mentioned I didn't like? I've dedided to at least repaint the bases. Begone with the goblin green base layer! The above picture is mid-process. I've sanded the green bases after which I've painted them black-brown basecoat. As soon this layer is dry, I'm gonna paint the green grass so … Continue reading Hobby update – June

In this blog post i'll cover a building-on-a-budget for the undead army. I'll be aiming for 1,500 points for a start. As with my … Continue reading Building on a budget – undead
On januari 25, 2019, I started a new project, Brotherhood. As you can see above, the 1,500 point army is finished. I'm rather proud of this finished project and I'm going to use it in battles from now on. The army list below: Regiment order of the Abyssal hunt, healing brew. (225)3 regiments of vilein … Continue reading Brotherhood army 1,500 points
