Introduction: Recently, I played a Halpi's rift tournament in Deurne - the Netherlands. It was a nice and friendly afair. Lots of great people and over the course of my four games no rules discussions and only friendly and gentle behaviour. A pleasant surprise after my last tournament experience, WHFB more than 15 years ago. … Continue reading Halpi’s rift tourney – list analysis
For an upcoming tournament, I wanted a new unit: a unit of fanatics. As it is, I got 25-ish GW fanatics a few years back as part of an army deal which I always wanted to paint one day. It appears that the 2021 summer is that day. Here's the finished unit. I really like … Continue reading Hobby update – Fanatics
Yesterday, I posted a recent "models painted" update, but found the picture utterly lacking. I promised then to supply better pictures. This blog post does exactly that, post my "work in progress" pictures of my fanatics regiment. The models are GW flagelant models that I got as part of a collection a few years back. … Continue reading Hobby Update – Fanatics
Introduction Last week I started writing up a set of changes to make the Brothermark army a (more) valid and disctinctive army. This week, all changes have been compiled in a list comparable to the Clash-of-kings updates. Due to the Covid lockdown, playtests have been very limited. (a few minor skirmishes on my own gaming … Continue reading The Brothermark Revival (II)
In the fall of 2020 I posted 2 articles about the Brothermark army list. I concluded with the promise to write up a few armies using this list. Until this time, I haven't done this yet. This is mainly because a) my games are limited and b) most of my armies use the Basilean list … Continue reading The Brothermark revival (I)

Preparation First, before touching any paint brush, prepare the ships. As the ships are resin, you'll need to … Continue reading Armada – painting tutorial

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
