Since Armada launched, I painted up my fleet - one ship at a time. Now I recently finished my sky altar and sloop squadrons, the fleet is -for the time being- finished. The fleet consists of two basic sets (I traded my orcs for another set), one abbess ship, a pair of slooq squadrons and … Continue reading Fleet page – Armada Basileans
This is just another short hobby update. It's been a month since I posted anything. The Clash of Kings fever is slowly getting higher. For the first time ever, I'll be traveling abroad for gaming. Together with my friend André and my brother we're going for a long weekend of gaming! We'll be driving underneath … Continue reading Hobby and preparing for Clash of Kings
I didn't paint much since I finished # MonsterMarch's horde of knights. The weather is getting better, so I'm getting out more. Furthermore, i have a new job that requires me to commute more than before. Finally, there's little reason to actually paint something since I didn't play all that much. That said, some progress … Continue reading April hobby update – a bit of this and that
Last week I finished painting all those knights, so this week I started building the actual multibase. The general idea is to build a bridge over a river which the knights are crossing. In that way, I can also justify using them as redemption knights in Order of the Green lady, hence the water theme! … Continue reading MonsterMarch # 3 building the base
This blog post is a sister post to this one, where I discuss why I like the Abbess over the Elohi battleship. In this post I'll show how I did convert my 4th Elohi ship into a 3rd Gur Panther. Both ships are already quite similar, as both are medium sized and have the same … Continue reading Armada – converting an Elohi into a Gur
Last week, I posted about my pledge for MonsterMarch 22: a horde of knights. While a few of these knights were painted already, exactly half of them were not. Swordmaster (the gracious host of this challenge) posted that the full model count for a horde of knights would be be 32. That might be a … Continue reading MonsterMarch #2 – speedpaint those knights!
Playing Kings of War Armada is a boyhood dream. I love the age of sail and always wanted to try out a Black seas battle, but have never been able to find an opponent. Since Kings of War Armada uses the same ruleset, boarding this game is a no-brainer to me. On this blog, I … Continue reading Armada – Elohi vs Abbess
Almost a month ago, I posted my current projects - a regiment of knights. By now, these are finished: Other pictures at the end of this blog post. I really dig the yellow on steel-with blue ink, a distinctly different colour scheme which does tie in with my army by use of the yellow. As … Continue reading January hobby update – knights
It's been a while since I posted a Hobby update. Due to our Covid-lockdown, I've had ample time to paint something, so I did. First I finished my Armada fleet: The fleet has finally been based and the ships are ready to sail! The only part missing were the bases, and these have been done … Continue reading Hobby update – Armada and Warcry
The Abbess class ship of the line is my favourite model of Armada until now. The decoration on the bow, the ostentatious (but not too) rear castle, combined with an awful amount of sail, looks great to me. I'm also quite proud of the paint job. Two more pictures below. Now my ships have been … Continue reading I love the Abbess (ship) model
