I play humans mainly because I like the aestatic of the average bloke with some nifty tool taking on the horrors in Mantica. It also helps that I own 2 once GW empire armies. (one shown above) One advantage of playing humans is that I can use my models for at least 2 different armies … Continue reading Using the same minis for more than one army
A few months ago, I got the brainwave to update my brotherhood army to Kings of War. You can find everything about it here. One of the things that needed doing, was the rebasing of my Forsaken beast. He's the guy on the left. It's just a varghulf model that I once bought as part … Continue reading Hobby update and Brotherhood progress
This post is partially a cut-paste from the hobby section hidden at the end of another post. As I'm proud on the progress, it gets a post of its own! Hobby Progress As Monster March is finally finished - see the dragon here- , I restarted multibasing knights. I had some fun playing with them … Continue reading Hobby update – multibase those knights!
And it's complicated.... (not in the sense that my opinion of the game is complicated, but the rules are quite complicated.) Let's tell the story of how I came to play the game. A mate of mine (who has joined me for KoW a few months ago) asked me to join him in a battle … Continue reading So I played 9th age last weekend…
This article tells the background story of my multi-nation human army. My army (or actually: both human armies) hail from the island-duchy of Topaz. The idea is to increase this page's contents as my army progresses. The Topaz confederation in constant state of flux. The island of Topaz (often named the Mother-island) is situated on … Continue reading Topaz Fluff
This is just a fun post; don't take any of it too serious. That said, when I started my brotherhood-multibase project, I took some time to play around with my single-based knights before multibasing them. What would it be like to have an old-fashioned bretonnian lance formation of 24 knights? Well; the answer is above. … Continue reading The charge of a thousand knights
Remember those knights which need multibasing? They've been kept on hold for a bit now, as I am particpating in the MonsterMarch challenge. That said, while painting a single model, there's always time stuff needs to dry. So while the dragon is drying out, I spent some time multibasing the knights. It's a lot harder … Continue reading Hobby update – while the dragon is drying out
The last monster I painted was -I believe- the griphon shown above. It suffices to say, that I'd rather paint infantry, cavalry or large infantry as I haven't painted a large model in years. (one exception here, but that one was not for my own armies) A few days ago Pawel Mieczowski (better known as … Continue reading Sorry Brotherhood – Monster March is coming
My first KoM multibase - back in 2015 or 2016. Glueing 10 spearmen on a base was the epitome of efficiency back then.... Really "decent" phone picture too. My first two posts on improving the Kingdoms of Men army (here and here) in future editions of Kings of War focussed on shooters and war machines. … Continue reading Joining the infantry – ideas for a more diverse KoM army (3)
The final two knights have been finished! (shields still lacking, as they are still drying out from their ink wash). This means that the Brotherhood army is shaping up nicely! Remember the Reconnoiterers I built from discarded outriders? this is how they look like now they are finished! Done! This means the next project on … Continue reading Hobby update – Knights, knights and lotsa knights!
