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
My first battle report on this blog! Though it's not as interesting a battle report as I would have hoped, I'm more than happy to share. Doing so helps me improving the play with my Brotherhood army. Furthermore, I learned that writing battle reports is an art in itself that takes some time to master. … Continue reading Battle report: Brotherhood vs Goblins
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
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
Just a short update to show the gift my wife got me for my birthday. It's a battle mat from battle mats europe. I'm really happy with this princely gift which shows that my wife supports my hobby (somewhat). As I posted recently, one of the reasons I don't do battle reports is because my … Continue reading Nice birthday gift – battle mat
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
Clash of Kings 2019 (Wich I refuse to abreviate to CoK19, as I'm not Daniel King) brings the undead army three formations. As I use these a lot; I figured to spend some writing about them. Army of Darkness I wrote about this formation before because I love it. I know I'm about the only … Continue reading Review of undead formations in Clash ’19
On the very last day of March, my #MonsterMarch entry was finished. For those who don't know what I've been up to last month, there's several updates here, here, here and here. Here's the overview and swordmaster's startpage too. Pictures above and below. And what a ride it was.... as predicted, there wasn't much hobby … Continue reading Monster March # 5 – finished!
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
