I finished not only one, but TWO goblin blasters this month of Monster March! That's another run of #MonsterMarch completed! (Four in a row now! YaY) Last week, the first goblins blaster was close to being finished. After some assembly, this made the leftmost model. The 2nd blaster, however, was just in its early stages. … Continue reading MonsterMarch 2023 finished!
And now for something completely different.... usually, I write this blog about Wargames and the Kings of War wargame specifically. This time - something new. All of us wargamers spend ungodly amounts of time getting paint on miniatures and it's good to have something to listen to while doing so. As I'm not really into … Continue reading Review – Tale of the Manticore (podcast)
Whoopsie, I skipped a week in the painting challenge. Actually, I only skipped writing this blog post, not the painting to much!. Last week, I got my first layer of paint on the start model. This week, I nearly finished the above model. It only needs highlights, a base, crew (in progress too) and assembly. … Continue reading MonsterMarch, week 2&3
I recently started my new Monster March project: A goblin blaster. This is week 1, so I'll post my build-process. This is how they arive. (the largest part, there are several).

I love the Groany Snark, so I made it a special model. For 100 points, it can work wonders (but as … Continue reading Winter goblin blues
Currently, i'm painting up an army of goblins. Once, I vowed never to paint an ugly Mantic goblin anymore, but that was before the new Mantic goblins were released. In this blog post, I'll review these models. The goblins can be built as either rabble, sharpsticks and archers. A regiment box consists of two sets … Continue reading Review: the new Mantic Rabble sprue
The the winter hollidays over, it's time to see where the last two months of 2022 brought me in terms of painting. I painted up a few additional goblins, still it's a long way to go before the army is finally finished! That said, I did finish quite a few models here and there. First … Continue reading December painting
With the new "red book" in my hards (Clash of Kings 2023 aka Kings of War 3.5) I decided that for 2023, I finally wanted to play my goblins. I started this army in 2018 as an allied detachment to my undead, but the detachment was invalidated before I got to play it. That said, … Continue reading Hobby updates: goblins are the word!
So, I went to Clash of Kings 2022. I had a blast, playing many different opponents (of four nationalities, no less) and the athmosphere was great! Look below at the view from our balcony, the huge hall was filled to the brim with gamers! The clash of Kings / Mantic Venue was on the side … Continue reading Review: Clash of Kings 2022
