This is a story of an escalation league where my humans face the Ratkin run by a friend of mine. Neither of us have much experience in Kings of War 3rd edition (though we played each other quite a few times in 2nd) The rules gonna be simple: We start at a "kill' scenario of … Continue reading “We’ve got rats…..”
This is a long-overdue hobby post about my painting endeavors. Remember that I posted about the reaper bones griffon shortly after Christmas? if not, here's my last picture of the beast: I love reaper bones material. It's easy to work with (hot and cold water) as you can see, I repositioned the whole beast and … Continue reading Hobby Update – General on large winged beast
The other day I posted on the KoW forum about the loss of our beloved polearm troops. This was the post: As I read the review om KoM my mate from regum aeternum 2 posted, I agree with a lot of his assessments. Generally we’re both very happy with the way Kingdoms of Men have … Continue reading Why I have good hopes the polearm troops will return
Finally, the uncharted Empires book has arrived! It required Mantic to Re-send it after the postal services lost it, but I got my grubby hands on the book. And with the book, I got the army lists for my other armies, the humans. (brotherhood, league, Kingdoms of Men) and I must say I love it. … Continue reading A new army for Kingdoms of Men
The christmas holidays have been productive from a hobby perspective. There's something end-of-yearish that encourages hobby time. Maybe it's the long, dark, nights, but spending the night underneath a daylight painting lamp is oddly pleasant. First of all, I rebased a horde of foot guard. I wanted to show the unit marching over a roman-type … Continue reading Hobby update – christmas holidays
A few months ago (somewhere after Clash '19) I painted up a giant. The story's here: He's been used only a few times and needs to be rebased after KoW3. Since KoW3, the Giant is on a 75x75 base. I understand the giant base size for the Mantic giant, but my reaper bones giant looks … Continue reading Hobby update – rebasing the giant
EDIT: The below models have found a new owner! original post: Recently I replied on the KoW forum that I have models laying around that I am willing to part with. (as so many wargamers, I own many more models than I'd ever paint) In this Blog Post, I'll show which models need a new … Continue reading Cleaning out the closet / models looking for new owner
It's not a secret that my human army has been used for -at least- four factions during 2nd edition. (I never did Varangur, I think) Now 3rd is starting to get rolling, I want to focus (for modelling and gaming, but also for fluff) on one army list at first. While the Kingdoms of Men … Continue reading Joining Basilea?
EDIT: This post was written under Kings of War 2nd edition rules. Kings of War 3rd edition army composition may be different, thereby invalidating some of the below post's army composition. Mantica needs stalwart men who face off against the evil that stalks the land. The brotherhood needs reinforcements, and you'll be the one to … Continue reading Building on a budget – Brotherhood
Edit 2025: The original blog post was back in 2019 when I started this blog. Since then (see my hobby posts) many armies have been expanded or updated, but this blog post and some of the army pages haven't. Recently I updated my Topaz army page, the rest may be updated someday too! Such is the … Continue reading Overview of my completed armies
