Before I played the tournament in December, I had to finish the Monarch. With about 2 days to spare, I finished her. Just after the tournament, I stopped painting for a few weeks to focus on other stuff. Now the dust has settled, I restarted some old projects and started a few new bits and … Continue reading Hobby update – bits and pieces and pasticard vanguard terrain
Recently, I participated in a tournament. I loved the people, the ambiance and the games I played. The sight of fully painted armies on the tabletop is always great and the people were great sports! Thanks for the organisers for hosting this! here's my army facing off against my first opponent, E. Fielding a nicely … Continue reading My tournament list and why I stopped playing it
As posted last time, I wanted (no: needed) a model for the monarch, the new Kingdoms of Men titan for Kings of War. She's been finished a week now: I love the print, the model and the paint job, so I'm pretty content with the results. Here's the queen herself in close-up. The model is … Continue reading Hobby – all hail the queen
First things first. I finished the mawpup launcher I started painting last week. Here's the result: I love the little model. It's gorgeous and the raft-on-the-water does it justice. It's a lovely addition to my goblin army. But enough goblins for now. Queen Mismeria Recently, I finished a Lost Kingdoms swamp queen. In that blog … Continue reading Hobby hype – Launcher & Queen
Last week I finished an in-between project - the swamp queen. Before that, I worked on my goblins. These goblins are kind of a strange project. As I have already several finished armies, the goblin project is lacking any kind of urgency that other projects have. I have no goal for them, nor a place … Continue reading Even Moar Gobz – hobby
And something on Lost Kingdom's miniatures. I finished a Lost Kingdoms swamp queen 3d print and I'm happy with the result. Lost Kingdoms made a pseudo-Brotherhood/Bretonnian set of 3d prints which have high quality and great poses! The swamp queen pictures above is a naked woman on a water horse. I love the model, her … Continue reading Hobby – a naked woman on a wet horse.
Recently, I played a tournament. In the first game round, I played JP with a great dwarven army. JP also does Kingdoms of men and has a thing for oldschool Citadel miniatures. In particular my oldschool pegasus drew his attention. It's an oldschool GW high elven pegasus I got from GW mail order somewhere in … Continue reading Pegasus cattle trade
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
