It's been a while since I posted a hobby update. Mainly because of the fine weather, painting is very slow these days, but that's okay. KoW hobby time is -for me at least- partially a fall/winter thing. That said, I finished a pair of reaper bones scorpions. As with all reaper minatures, the detail isn't … Continue reading Hobby update and Scorpion comparison
When I started reviewing the Kingdoms of Men army list, this was mainly because of my frustration with shooters and war machines. After this, I posted some ideas for characters and infantry. Not to leave a process near the the end, this post describes the final part of the Kingdoms of Men army, cavalry and … Continue reading Improving the Kingdoms of Men Army – here is the cavalry
Yes, it's a bad pun. Enjoy. This week I finished a Giant. He's both useful for Kings of War (ever since the Kingdoms of Men list includes giants) and for DnD (where we are playing Stormking's thunder right now) so he fills two roles. I wasn't particulary impressed with the Reaper Bones minature when it … Continue reading A ‘Giant’ hobby update
Last week I posted my finished Brotherhood army of 1,500 points. In the future there's chance of expansion to 2,000 points, but as of now painting is slow due to summer weather. In this post I'll be trying out an alternative build for this army using the Kingdoms of Men army list. First things … Continue reading Alternative builds for the Brotherhood army
Remember the multibase slot that I mentioned I didn't like? I've dedided to at least repaint the bases. Begone with the goblin green base layer! The above picture is mid-process. I've sanded the green bases after which I've painted them black-brown basecoat. As soon this layer is dry, I'm gonna paint the green grass so … Continue reading Hobby update – June
On januari 25, 2019, I started a new project, Brotherhood. As you can see above, the 1,500 point army is finished. I'm rather proud of this finished project and I'm going to use it in battles from now on. The army list below: Regiment order of the Abyssal hunt, healing brew. (225)3 regiments of vilein … Continue reading Brotherhood army 1,500 points
My first three posts on improving the Kingdoms of Men army (here, here and here) in future editions of Kings of War focussed on shooters, finantry and war machines. There's something to be said about the kingdoms of men's characters, so I'll be doing that here. first things first While the first two posts in … Continue reading Improving Kingdoms of Men – Characters
Lord Darvled came to power after the victory over the Abyss in the Edge of the Abyss summer campaign in 2017. Here's the official canon description from Clash '18: "throughout the war against the Abyss, the Kingdoms of Men never faltered" shouted Lord Darvled. The cheers from the gathered crowd almost drowned out his speech. … Continue reading Lord Darvled – Mantica’s own populist
I've been on holiday with the family. Two weeks of relaxing with the kids and wife somewhere in the forest, kinda nice. That said, very little painting has been done during that time. After holidays, I managed to finish my reconnoiterers. Here's the four of them. They still need basing, but I'm pretty happy with … Continue reading Hobby update – holiday painting
Remember those reconnoiterers that got finished last week? Here's them (without their riders at the moment) while I'm basing them. That said, I also finished one of these slotted multibases where I can fit a number (in this case seven) individual models for my 3rd regiment of knights. Here's two pictures: I must say I'm … Continue reading Hobby Update – Recons and multibase slots
