Though the lockdown isn't as productive for me as it's for several others, there's some stuff finished. Recently I posted the individual models finished for this regiment, but here's the regiment in its completed form. The first half (as shown above) is just a two-tiered septs with seven models on it. nothing special. The back … Continue reading Hobby updates: Basilean progress and multibase tutorial
Recently I built this foot guard horde multibase. I was asked to make another multibase tutorial, so I recorded the building of this project. As usual, the multibase is a bit of a diorama. It depicts a road in the landscape, traveled by the unit. The road is lined with banners, to show that it's … Continue reading Tutorial – how to build the foot guard multibase
EDIT: Per 31-10-2019 Mantic replied on this subject by the mouth of Matt Gilbert on the Kings of War forum: (...)PMC is not a “rule”. It’s a guideline for aesthetics. PMC says it is something to aim for to maintain the aesthetic of a mass-battle / R&F wargame. It also says that if it’s not … Continue reading Pondering the 3rd edition Preferred model count
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
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

First a bit of history Wargaming (especially historicals) the base unit in a wargame is not a single model representing a single soldier, but the unit. (usually represented … Continue reading Multibasing – What and how

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 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
