Recently, I started out creating a new brotherhood army. Well, new, that is: I need to paint a few recoinnoiterers and four more knights. After these are multibased, I can field the army. I would love to replace a few models after that, as using Reiksguard as order redemption feels a bit wrong. That said, … Continue reading Hobby updates – Brotherhood and Army of Darkness
At the end of 2017 I switched over from Kingdoms of Men to League of Rhordia and Brotherhood. This was because I couldn't get the KoM army work as intended. Mid 2018 I played KoM once again with a reasonable degree of success. (turned 2nd at a small local tournament, only be defeated by a … Continue reading My most effective KoM army
My multibased reiksguard 3 +4. Multibasing Cavalry harder than it looks like, here's why: I do like multibasing. My blog is full of multibased infantry; as I really like the diorama's I can make out of these. Cavalry, not so much. Why? there's very little I can do with those horses and I don't really … Continue reading Multibasing Cavalry
just finished Just another short hobby update: This weekend I finished the reconnoiterer above. He's part of my brotherhood project mentioned here: Today I finished the remaining three: Finished! As you can see, they are outriders (or pristoliers, the same GW model) with sword arms. 2 of the pistoliers use state troops' arms, the other … Continue reading Short hobby update – Brotherhood
Order of the abyssal hunt. Formerly Averlander Golden Lions My previous project has been finished now over a week, and there hasn't been any inspiration yet for a new project. Well, until a few minutes ago. I know I still have this project running, but I'm not in the mood for painting skeletons right now. … Continue reading a new project: Brotherhood
Siege artillery; the most useful part of KoM artilery for now. A few weeks ago, I posted my ideas how to make the Kingdoms of Men (KoM) shooters perform different roles instead of the same. You can find these here. Shortly after, I promised on the dakadaka forum to think about the KoM warmachines too. … Continue reading Guns-n-Glory – ideas for a more diverse KoM army (2)
I do love League of Rhordia. It's like Kingdoms of Men, but with an effective hammer (Honour guard), better flier, (duke beats KoM general) and great war machines (volley gun). Moreover League has a nifty tool that many players forget in the shape of the halfling sorcerer. @ 50 points he's a nuisance that few … Continue reading How to build your own halfling sorcerer
KoM Crossbowmen Introduction As many know, my first love is my Kingdoms of Men army. Not because how it performs on the battlefield (I can't get it to work well) but because I love the idea of common blokes with a pike or crossbows taking on the horrors of Mantica. The armies (yes: I own … Continue reading An idea for more diversity in the KoM army for KoW3
Update jan'20 As I finished a unit of light cavalry, I added these guys underneath the post. Also changed the point allowances for KoW 3rd edition. Original post: Intro Back in 2012 or so - when I still played Warhammer instead of Kings of War- my brother got me an army he bought from ebay … Continue reading Kingdoms of men – the creation of an army
Preface In early 2018 I posted below article on the Mantic forums. The post caused a lot of discussion as not everyone agreed with me. As I still stand with my analysis, I thought to preserve this article as the forum goes down. Why this post? Kings of War has made quite a lot of … Continue reading Why elven shooters are great and men aren’t.
