Elohi I wanted two hordes of Elohi. Last time I got a trio for testmodels. Since then I got eight more, which … Continue reading November painting
Background (skip if you want straigth to the hobby) Recently, I went to Clash of Kings UK. One of the armies that featured well there, was the Basilean Army from Jonathan Quayle. An earlier version of that list featured on Dash 28. This type of lists can teach one thing: how to play Alpha strike. … Continue reading Kitbashing the Abbess & other hobby
So, I went to Clash of Kings last weekend! It was a great time meeting new opponents, catching up with the guys from last year and I even got to play a couple of battles. Clash of Kings is the celebration of the hobby, allowing middle aged guys (and even a couple of gals) to … Continue reading Clash of Kings ’23

Since my blog post then, I painted 145 miniatures. They add up to: 94 goblins, mawpups and … Continue reading 2022/23 painting tally
With no pressure to finish anything, I find that my painting progress slows to a crawl. Not that I mind - I'm just painting whatever gets my fancy at the moment. A few months ago, I had over 40 halberdiers printed and painted a test model. Content with the quality of the print and painting, … Continue reading Summer painting

I seriously estimate the amount of ogre and nightstalker armies to be half of the player base. - And they did well. Not entirely, due to this success, I have thought about starting an army myself, but always resisted to … Continue reading Idea – 12 model ogre ambush army
First things first! I completed my goblin army! YaY! For this, I only needed my 2nd regiment of fleabags. Here's them finished! It's six original fleabags plus one mounted flaggit from vanguard. Apparently, I forgot to finish the basing in this picture, something I have remedied later. Together with my original fleabags, they can be … Continue reading Painting without focus
