    The Hag!

    By Eevika

    The Troggoth Hag is definitely a piece I believe every Troggoth army needs. It's amazing as a model and amazing on the table. I rarely do such detailed eyes and faces but when working on a model that is the centrepiece of your army you want to spend some extra time just to make it special. This is surely the best work I have ever done on a models face and I think there is just a lot of character and emotion on the model.  My smaller Troggoths are just green and blue but for t

Green Ambition

My first army was an Orc & Goblin force led by Gromm the Paunch from the Misty Mountain. This was for 3rd and 4th Edition and was the only army I ever collected, painted and gamed with regularly. This was back in the 80's/90's and it helped that I was working for GW at the time. We had a pretty good store campaign going which combined WFB, Mighty Empires and Man O' War to create a truly world-spanning series of games that ran for the best part of a year. Good times. That world no longer

Masters of Aqshy

Masters of Aqshy    Hobby goal month 2 - Rise of the Seraphon doubles campaign weekend, Warhammer World, Nottingham. Six weeks after attending my first Age of Sigmar event at Warhammer World, I was back for an action-packed weekend of hobby in Nottingham. My doubles partner was fellow Hammerer Mat (@MatMaslen) who brought his awesome Fire-Cast Eternals to aid my 'malignant' Seraphon led by the ancient Lord Kroak.           With just shy of x40 players for th

Skulls for the Skull Throne    Hobby Goal Month 1 - Throne of Skulls event, Warhammer World, Nottingham Turns out, there is no better way to beat those new year (hobby) blues than by attending an event at the start of the year! Exactly what was needed to ensure I am commited to completing my hobby target for 2016. - 12 AoS events over 12 months.   As my first Age of Sigmar event, I was really intrigued to see how the Warhammer world team would c

Embracing the Madness

Embracing the Madness My 2016 hobby goals January invariably brings out the blues in me, especially concerning my work/life balance in relation to my hobby. I never know how it starts, whether I just feel a little older, or just a bit defeatist that there's too many projects & not enough time to commit to completing them all. My job in particular is high pressure & very stressful, which actually makes having such an immersive pastime invaluable to my sanity.
Hammered!

A brief history of (Hammer) time

A brief history of (Hammer) time Let's start from the beginning. Not my own, or my hobby experiences, but with the beginning of the Hammerers. Back in the day (well, 5 years actually) having moved to the cathedral city of Winchester, I regularly attended 'veterans night' at the local GW store. The upside was knowing that every Thursday night I had a place to game & plenty of clubmates to play against. The downside was that the store would often be responsible for introducing &
Monsters and Gribblies and Beasts, oh my!

First up - the Cockatrice!

This is the start of a project log for Chaos beasties. I can thank Age of Sigmar for finally getting me started on these - there were always a few Chaos models that caught my eye, but I couldn't commit to a whole army just to paint them (and now I can ... slowly) To begin with, the Cockatrice. I love the sculpt (although it does prove quite squashy on the battlefield)

Mordheim Warband that will obviously become my next army...

What will be in my Warband?

A Mordheim warband is pretty simple to put together and because I have this small number of models that I'm not modifying it really makes my choice easy... Chief, Sorcerer(using the musician from the unit) 5 PestiGor and a Centigor. Not much to paint and nothing to modify. The biggest issue I've had was to stick them to round bases, which was pretty easy! Priming with Rust-Oleum Surface Primer Matt Grey I'm specifically going to base these the same as my Skaven I brought to SCGT 2

Mordheim Warband that will obviously become my next army...

Starting the warband

About a year ago i bought a small job lot of Beastmen on eBay. Nothing major and nothing new, just some old models really. I specifically wanted it for the 8 metal PestiGor. These models are pretty old now but are from a time when Beastmen were originally given Marks of Chaos. The models are twisted by Nurgle and all pestilence, cloaked, hooded and wielding double handed axes. I'm really excited to paint these though and doing these as a small warband, not even a full unit in AoS, means I c

Building the Blood Shed

The Door!

The door was hung to day and the window frames assembled for the two windows which will open.  The door is a nice old reclaimed one, which is about three times the weight it should be!  T That's all that'll probably happen this week unfortunately.  There's going to be a delay now while we wait for the glass (double glazing!) to arrive.  There might be some shots of the roof going on and more internal work though. I'll keep you posted!

Slave To Slaanesh

Sunday Gaming

This Sunday afternoon I played my friend Laurie at a couple games of Age of Sigmar. I've not quite got the hang of this game yet, there are so many synergies that I still struggle to remember. I need to spend some time reading the warscrolls.         The first game of the evening was The Shattering from the Godbeast book. I played the Breacher army, while Laurie played the Obstructor's. I took my Khorne Bloodbound as I'm a bit tired of playing Slaanesh.

Thor0298's AOS Blog

Monday night maw crusher

I figure maybe a blog might help me to focus on projects ahead and complete them. Also logging plays.  Last night I finished assembling the maw crusher and primed the wings. I started painting the wings black and red. I had been really trying to figure out what color to paint and decided to stay with the red base body. Going to be a busy week/weekend but I'm going to try to see how fast I can get my Orruks that I bought painted. I got megaboss, mawcrusher, two boxes of brutes,  warchanter a

Death in The Mortal Realms

Epic Three-Player Battle - Convergence of Fate

Over the weekend I had the privilege of playing in one of the best games of Warhammer this side of Morrsend.  We played using no points (the brief was to literally bring what we liked), and no extra rules restrictions or modifications other than what was clarified in the recent FAQs. The scenario was of course Convergence of Fate, which we only adjusted to make better deployment zones, and removed the extra re-rolls for Vow of Enmity. The battle took place in one of the Underworld

The New Persona of Games Workshop

Well It looks the same so far.... Over the past year and a half our game has gone through big changes.  We had our End Times both in game and within the community.  As of now the Faithful (#OnlyTheFaithful!) feel pretty happy with ol' GW and for good reasons.  Let's go back a bit and see just how it all has changed (from my part of the world anyway). Who can forget this guy? There he is, the Silent Guardian.  What seemed like a permanent fixture at Warhammer World was always there to gree

The Chamber Comand

Hi everyone, Since the release of the Stormcast Eternal back in July last year I have been painting away a few models a week (you will have seen most of them I'm sure) and it's amazing how quickly the Army has grown.  Lord-Celastant Matthias Hammerstrike leads his Warrior Chamber into the Mortal Realms, his loyal Comand Chamber following with him.   Hope you like them.

The Allure of the WAAAAGH!

WAAAAAGH...and all that... Orruks (previously Orcs) have always had a special place in my heart.  It was an army I almost began my hobby with due to their comical and bestial nature.  Look at the jolly guy above.  He screams Warhammer to me in all the right ways. Look how happy he is for a fight Now we finally see Greenskins return in force to the Mortal Realms and I  cannot be more pleased.  They look great and still held onto the Warhammer Orc Charm that I thought would be lost or adj

The Living Game Concept

Age of Sigmar is considered a living game, but what does that mean?  For decades we have had a "stagnant" game with Warhammer Fantasy.  While the rules did update and units/characters came in and out of the game the overall setting and story remained the same and if any advancement was made it was pulled back to a prior time to keep the Fantasy Setting intact. With Age of Sigmar we have a continuously evolving story where each new book can potentially move the story forward, kill off characters

Wired Up

Things seemed to really leap forwards today.  After two 'maybe I'll be along' and then no-shows, the electrician finally appeared. Even though we knew he'd have to take some of the panels back off to hide all of the wiring, we'd decided to press on a ****** everything in place for easy removal.  We've already lost a few days thanks to injury, breakdown (vehicular) and delayed deliveries, so time is of the essence.  I also want it all finished by Saturday 7th May as we're scheduled to play some A
