Yes, it's a pun. A bad one even* This fall I've painted two flying beasties already. The first was Tempest (featured last week), the 2nd is the model in the header. It's a headswapped Balthasar Gelt model. This post describes the hobby process how I built him. first things first, why I love this model. … Continue reading Hobby update: Half Gelt
Last week I posted that my 2nd horde of Basilean Palace guard for now remains on rounds - it's gonna be a Warcry warband for the time being. A good friend of mine (we sea each other too little, but when we see each other it;s always good) plays Warcry. I haven't played anything GW … Continue reading Trying out Warcry 1 – preparations
A busy personal life (moving homes and a young family does that) does not bode well for hobby time. That said, I managed to sneak in some painting time. Remember these pinky sigmarites? Well, I've found some time to actually paint them. Of course, they are converted like my other stormcast basileans as I do … Continue reading Hobby update – september 20
Last week I posted my first reaction on the Brothermark army list - I wasn't that exited then. Still, as I played Brotherhood for the biggest part of 2nd edition, I felt that I owe the army a 2nd chance. This series of blog posts looks for ways to play the army of the Brothermark … Continue reading Return to Brotherhood – analysis of the army list
the original 2nd edition KoW Brotherhood army The Brotherhood army was a favourite of mine during Kings of War 2nd edition. Since the start of 3rd, I haven't left my Basilean army, so the Brotherhood army was ignored. The reason for that is -frankly- that the first glance of the army in the Uncharted Empires … Continue reading Exploring a return to the Brotherhood – start of a journey
The summer hiatus has ended, but I haven't done so much hobbying. Just finishing up a few small projects, such as this 3rd troop of panthers/mastiffs. As I do like the models, I might buy a few more. They are also decent additions to other units as they add quite a lot of character for … Continue reading Summer hobby update
Changes to the RC Last month, dash 28 posted changes to the Kings of War rules committee: Two members have stepped down after a years of service. Let me join them in thanking both Jeff Swann and Dan King for their work for the game we all love. Without your dedicated work, the game wouldn't … Continue reading Thanks to the RC and summer hiatus
(Below if a bit of fluff for Topaz) The Archduke of Topaz shifted his weigth uneasy. High on his dias, firmly sitting in his chair of office, he should have been the social superior of any supplicant or visitor. In this case it was different, as the supplicant would be more of an auditor. The … Continue reading An uneasy alliance with Basilea
Stormcast make great additions to a Basilean army. With their large size, they make great palace guard and the flying ones make great (ur-)Elohi, if you like the aestetic. But, as I posted before, there's something off about them. I painted up a few before noticing why. Here's the models: The reason I don't like … Continue reading Stormcast Basileans – really?
Though the lockdown isn't as productive for me as it's for several others, there's some stuff finished. Recently I posted the individual models finished for this regiment, but here's the regiment in its completed form. The first half (as shown above) is just a two-tiered septs with seven models on it. nothing special. The back … Continue reading Hobby updates: Basilean progress and multibase tutorial
