There's time when there's a lot of painting done and there's time when this is not the case. This is that time. Since Dortsche krijgsheren, I have scarcely done anything. I just needed one more unit for my army when going to örb wars: a unit of hellhounds. The models are 3d printed sabretooth cats … Continue reading Hobby time – summer 25
What happens if a peaceful, if slightly backwards, civilization is plunged into chaos by a sudden invasion from the Abyss? This what happened to the Rift Survivors Two dozen years ago, the swamps of Sherot were home to a handful of tribes. For ages, the tribes had lived in co-existence. The Big Belly ogre tribe … Continue reading Rift survivors – fluff

Last month , I started on my new "abyssal" berserkers. As these will be the new mainstay of my Swamp things army, I need a few more. Fortunately, I managed to paint up another 8 of them. They are based as 2 hordes which are magnetized as regiments: This means I can field up to … Continue reading 2025 March hobby time

Pretty happy with the contents, but my abyssal army needs some serious rethought to be even somewhat effective as its MVP's have been hit with the nerf bat. This blog post describes my thought proces..... the original abyssal army In 2017, I … Continue reading Post CoK-19, reconstucting a broken army

In 2017 I painted up a fresh army, Abyssals-in-a-ruined temple. Above and below the results: First goal will be 1,500 points. As my other armies (humans of all kinds and both kinds of undead) don't have the mobility/battlefield control that abyssals can get, I'm focussing my army on swift flyers plus BW support.
