Recently, I posted work-in-progress shots of my new soul reaver infantry regiment alongside my Goreblight model. This unit has been finished, finally. I'm pretty happy how they turned out, especially because I used a slightly different colour scheme (less vibrant) than my other SRI infantry regiment. (here for -> comparison) I do like both, because … Continue reading Hobby update – Soul reavers & balefire
This year's Monster March has been a breeze and the result is quite nice. Using Contrast Paints to paint this girl was super easy. I think I name her "Hilda". Some fluff about Hilda will feature later on this Blog. Keep Posted! In the end, converting the model was hugely rewarding. It even took more … Continue reading Monster March – finished!
Last week, I entered @swordmaster's Monter March '21 painting challenge and I scratch-built my goreblight model. This week I painted the beasty, and it's become lovely orgross, depending on how one looks at it. The result is more than satisfactionary, leaving just the base to be done. I painted the model using contrast paints; it … Continue reading Monster March ’21 #2 & Jarvis
Yearly, Swordmaster hosts a painting challenge, called #MonsterMarch. The idea is to paint a monster (or anything monstrous) in the space of a month. I've been part of MonsterMarch 3 and MonsterMarch 4 doing a dragon and a phoenix respectively. Once again, thanks for hosting this one, mate! This year, the MonsterMarch challenge coincides with … Continue reading mo-mo-mo-moooooonster March!

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
Shoutout to André for setting up his new blog! Welcome and grats! André is a friend of mine who started Kings of War just before the recent lockdown (talk about unpleasant timing). We played a few battles before a curfew was added to the lockdown and evening battles were -sadly- a thing of the past. … Continue reading Shoutout to André, welcome to a new blog!
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
I painted up a couple of Armada Basilean ships, see the previous posts for the results. I was asked a few times how I did paint them (especially the sails), so this blog post shows how to. Preparation First, before touching any paint brush, prepare the ships. As the ships are resin, you'll need to … Continue reading Armada – painting tutorial
Recently, I posted my first Armada ships. Now, as the lockdown (at least, in the Netherlands) continues, I've finally found the time to finish my 2nd batch of ships. By now, I have completed the Basilean half of the starter set. Here's the fleet completed in all of its glory: Closeups of the four ships … Continue reading Kings of War Armada #2
