An uneasy alliance with Basilea

(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 Basileans – really?

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? →

Hobby updates: Basilean progress and multibase tutorial

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 →

Conquering Basilea

A few months ago, I wrote a new basilean army list. For this I had to build a number of new units. As the majority of these units have been finished by now or are in the process of being finished, I can start playing it. The units that have been built recently are: PhoenixRegiment … Continue reading Conquering Basilea →

Various hobby updates

I have been lax in posting a few weeks, but this is mainly due to a busy schedule at work and in private life. There's been some hobby progress, so I thought it prudent to post it here: Recently I started out with two projects: another regiment of greatwords/basilean foot guard. a regiment of soul … Continue reading Various hobby updates →

Hobby update – Quarantaine (3)

I've posted Fredoslow's soul reaver infantry before, an idea which I've shamelessly stolen for my undead army. Here's my two test models for painting scheme etc. I decided that a bluegrey basecoat underneath the armour is too bright (it looks like painting chain mail silver directly over the grey plastic) so I will use a … Continue reading Hobby update – Quarantaine (3) →

Hobby update Quarantaine (2)

Recently I started out to post my painting and hobby endeavours during the quarantaine period. There's also this painting competition on the KoW forums to inspire me. That said, my hobby progress is a bit fragmented. First of all, there's the greatsword/paladin foot guard project that I started some time ago. Now I do have … Continue reading Hobby update Quarantaine (2) →

Army page : Topaz

The below page was made in 2020 April 2020: After many years, finally my main army got a photoshoot! It's almost 400 painted models gathered over 15 years of wargaming. (estimating from the picture above) The Topaz army started out as Warhammer Fantasy Empire, but has been complemented with minatures from many suppliers once it's … Continue reading Army page : Topaz →

Hobby update – Quarantaine

As posted before, I do not have much more time than usual during qurantaine. My two beautiful daughters make sure of that..... It matters not, even a little hobby time is appreciated! Remember the single guy who features in my #monster March phoenix fotoshoot? He's a basilean paladin or empire greatsword (depending on game universe) … Continue reading Hobby update – Quarantaine →

# Monster March '20 Finished

Achivement unlocked! For the 2nd time in a row, I managed to beat the # Monster March challenge! The Phoenix is finished in all her resplendant glory! While not my best paint per-sé, (some of the blend lines are a bit shabby), I really take the bright red-over-yellow colour scheme and she looks magnificent. The … Continue reading # Monster March '20 Finished →
