Thephoenix I pledged for Monster March is getting a bit more paint. The result is progressing nicely, and while I'm quite anxious about the final result, the first layers really look nice. While progress is delayed a bit by real-life, I'm nice on track to finish in time. As the Phoenix has to dry out … Continue reading Monster March ’20 #2 and other hobby stuff
This is just a short hobby update. The Phoenix I pledged for Swordmaster's Monster March has just gotten its first slabs of paint. Nothing fancy, but enough to warrant a (short) update. I -frankly- adore the model. It's both gorgeous and huge. Below the phoenix compared to a (already large sized" "28mm" Citadel model. Painting … Continue reading Monster March ’20 #1
Remember the fist battle at out recent escalation league?. Well, the gods abandoned me. The dice gods at the very least, as the result was abysmal. Still, mistakes were made too, so the complete masacre to my forces was as much poor army selection and battlefield choices as the disfavour of lady Fortuna. Anyhow, this … Continue reading The slaughter at the iron mine
Last year, I particpated in Swordsmaster's Monster March. This year, I completely forgot to pledge something! But that can be solved quickly! So here's my pledge for Monster March 20! As I recently completed a general on winged beast (here full post) this was not something I could pledge. Instead, I have an ambitious project … Continue reading Holey Moley, it’s Monster March already
This is a story of an escalation league where my humans face the Ratkin run by a friend of mine. Neither of us have much experience in Kings of War 3rd edition (though we played each other quite a few times in 2nd) The rules gonna be simple: We start at a "kill' scenario of … Continue reading “We’ve got rats…..”
This is a long-overdue hobby post about my painting endeavors. Remember that I posted about the reaper bones griffon shortly after Christmas? if not, here's my last picture of the beast: I love reaper bones material. It's easy to work with (hot and cold water) as you can see, I repositioned the whole beast and … Continue reading Hobby Update – General on large winged beast
The other day I posted on the KoW forum about the loss of our beloved polearm troops. This was the post: As I read the review om KoM my mate from regum aeternum 2 posted, I agree with a lot of his assessments. Generally we’re both very happy with the way Kingdoms of Men have … Continue reading Why I have good hopes the polearm troops will return
Back in 2nd edition, many units that now have the Pot Shot special rule, did have the Reload special rule. While the guys at Counter charge (great show, btw) hail this as a massive improvement, I remain sceptical. In this blog post I'll try to point out why. First things first, what are the rules … Continue reading Sceptical about the Pot Shot rule
Finally, the uncharted Empires book has arrived! It required Mantic to Re-send it after the postal services lost it, but I got my grubby hands on the book. And with the book, I got the army lists for my other armies, the humans. (brotherhood, league, Kingdoms of Men) and I must say I love it. … Continue reading A new army for Kingdoms of Men
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
