Introduction: Recently, I played a Halpi's rift tournament in Deurne - the Netherlands. It was a nice and friendly afair. Lots of great people and over the course of my four games no rules discussions and only friendly and gentle behaviour. A pleasant surprise after my last tournament experience, WHFB more than 15 years ago. … Continue reading Halpi’s rift tourney – list analysis
For an upcoming tournament, I wanted a new unit: a unit of fanatics. As it is, I got 25-ish GW fanatics a few years back as part of an army deal which I always wanted to paint one day. It appears that the 2021 summer is that day. Here's the finished unit. I really like … Continue reading Hobby update – Fanatics
Yesterday, I posted a recent "models painted" update, but found the picture utterly lacking. I promised then to supply better pictures. This blog post does exactly that, post my "work in progress" pictures of my fanatics regiment. The models are GW flagelant models that I got as part of a collection a few years back. … Continue reading Hobby Update – Fanatics
compared to many other hobyists, the amount of unpainted miniatures I own is limited. This is mainly due to a serious restraint in buying/accepting new minis and not starting new armies combined with a slow-and-steady approach to painting. Ever since we moved together in a house (quite a few years ago) I have an agreement … Continue reading Managing the pile of unpainted miniatures
Back in the day, I posted my first painted gloomhaven mini ever - the cragheart. In my first Gloomhaven campaign back then, I played this critter and loved it! The campaign lasted a dozen games or so and was discontinued later because of Corona. Now Corona is finally (thank the heavens) on its retour here … Continue reading Gloomhaven (continued)
Recently, I posted work-in-progress shots of my new soul reaver infantry regiment alongside my Goreblight model. This unit has been finished, finally. I'm pretty happy how they turned out, especially because I used a slightly different colour scheme (less vibrant) than my other SRI infantry regiment. (here for -> comparison) I do like both, because … Continue reading Hobby update – Soul reavers & balefire
Elsewhere on this blog, I posted part 1 of this battle. The report ended with a photo from my opponent's view at the end of turn 2. This picture is showed below again. As you can see, the wolfpacks on the far right (of this picture, far left from my side of the battle) have … Continue reading the battle that was not needed – part 2
This is part 1 of a battle report worth 1,500 points in our Halpi's rift campaign. Part 2 will follow soonish. Was this battle an inevitability? In Jarvis' eyes, it was definately not. The battle was unnecesary and wastefull, for were his goals and the goals of the Northern Alliance thane not similar? One did … Continue reading The battle that was not needed
Introduction: for our Halpi's rift campaign, I chose Jarvis as general and selected his army . Recently, I finished painting up a goreblight model, one of the models in the army. Her story should be told! A few months ago..... The bright sunlight painted the landscape in vribrant colours. Sharp shadows contrasted with the bright … Continue reading Hilda meets Jarvis
This year's Monster March has been a breeze and the result is quite nice. Using Contrast Paints to paint this girl was super easy. I think I name her "Hilda". Some fluff about Hilda will feature later on this Blog. Keep Posted! In the end, converting the model was hugely rewarding. It even took more … Continue reading Monster March – finished!
