Recently, I participated in a tournament. I loved the people, the ambiance and the games I played. The sight of fully painted armies on the tabletop is always great and the people were great sports! Thanks for the organisers for hosting this! here's my army facing off against my first opponent, E. Fielding a nicely … Continue reading My tournament list and why I stopped playing it
As posted last time, I wanted (no: needed) a model for the monarch, the new Kingdoms of Men titan for Kings of War. She's been finished a week now: I love the print, the model and the paint job, so I'm pretty content with the results. Here's the queen herself in close-up. The model is … Continue reading Hobby – all hail the queen
First things first. I finished the mawpup launcher I started painting last week. Here's the result: I love the little model. It's gorgeous and the raft-on-the-water does it justice. It's a lovely addition to my goblin army. But enough goblins for now. Queen Mismeria Recently, I finished a Lost Kingdoms swamp queen. In that blog … Continue reading Hobby hype – Launcher & Queen
Last week I finished an in-between project - the swamp queen. Before that, I worked on my goblins. These goblins are kind of a strange project. As I have already several finished armies, the goblin project is lacking any kind of urgency that other projects have. I have no goal for them, nor a place … Continue reading Even Moar Gobz – hobby
And something on Lost Kingdom's miniatures. I finished a Lost Kingdoms swamp queen 3d print and I'm happy with the result. Lost Kingdoms made a pseudo-Brotherhood/Bretonnian set of 3d prints which have high quality and great poses! The swamp queen pictures above is a naked woman on a water horse. I love the model, her … Continue reading Hobby – a naked woman on a wet horse.
As the weather turns fall-y (rainly, windy and generally unpleasant) it's a good time for painting. Progress is still limited, but that's okay since painting this way is really stress-less which is nice! Also, my goblins are just a hobby project with no timer, so there's no stress to get them ready. Yesterday, I finished … Continue reading Hobby update – fall painting
Hobby time has stalled a bit. There's some progress in the goblin department, but I've not been motivated enough to speedpaint the 60 or so goblins as there's not fixed goal to work to. And actually, there's something relaxing in not having to force-paint anything, so I'm not too discontent. As such, a few of … Continue reading A little bit of hobby progress:
This my five year old daughter. (face hiden due to privacy online) She and I had some quality time together and we painted her first miniatures together! At our home, Paw Patrol is a thing. Both of my daughters are very much fans, so the house is littered in merchandise. My mate André has graciously … Continue reading Hobby time: the next generation
There's something about lightning bolts. A few of my opponents have complained about this little spell which they see as overpowered. In my recent tournament, most wizards I saw have it and most lists I played against did inlude wizards for this purpose. Even I myself use quite a few bolts on my wizards. Yesterday … Continue reading Pondering about lightning
Recently, I played a tournament. In the first game round, I played JP with a great dwarven army. JP also does Kingdoms of men and has a thing for oldschool Citadel miniatures. In particular my oldschool pegasus drew his attention. It's an oldschool GW high elven pegasus I got from GW mail order somewhere in … Continue reading Pegasus cattle trade
