The Brothermark Revival (II)

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) →

The Brothermark revival (I)

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.

Hobby update – september 20

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 →

Exploring a return to the Brotherhood – start of a journey

the original 2nd edition KoW Brotherhood army The Brotherhood army was a favourite of mine during Kings of War 2nd edition.

Summer hobby update

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.
