    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

Sky Ports of Chamon

Intro

The sky ports of Chamon soar above the realm of metal like floating airships. Each island is surrounded by docks, and ships that range from gyrocopters to huge Aqshyan cargo vessels. The islands are the centre of trade; with realmgates dotting each one, people come from all over the realms to buy and sell.

Whisperwhile forest

Fort Ironfist

The fort stood on a spire of grey, weathered rock. It was made from huge slabs of black marble, and the walls were covered in arrow-slits. The main keep stood high above the surrounding forest like a gargant in a desert. Next to the keep was a smaller tower, and, lower still was a mighty wall. A golden door was sat firmly into the black marble, and stone steps were carved out of the rocky spire underneath.  Huge thunderclouds were hanging above the fort, as dark as the black marble walls.

Whisperwhile forest

Getting up to date

Hello. Inspired by AOS28  I have recently invented a setting in the realm of life. Deep in the realm of Ghyran lies the Whisperwhile forest. Withered oaks and sickly ash trees encircle the Bitterbile lakes, whilst the rest of the forest is covered with lush green flora. Trees bigger than watchtowers and deadly plants as far as the eye can see, added with the warm climate and pockets of realmstone make this the ideal place for many strange animals and beasts to roam. Deep in the forest lies

My attempts at Motivation.

Some progress

So a minor painting update, I have been swamped at school and am on my reading week, so I have only managed to get some base colours on my Treelord Ancient. I am thinking of making his claws ghostly to match the other Sylvaneths' weapons as i want his staff to be a vibrant flower.  I am currently on my march break, and while you'd think that would give me more free time to paint, alas I am visiting family and all my paints are back at my apartment. On the upside though, I have finished buil

Marauders of Tzeentch

For my Tzeentch force I need some foot troops. The cheapest battle line in the warriors army are Chaos Marauders at only 60 points for 10 models. However there are a couple of problems. Firstly, the models are really old, very poorly posed and they have a whole load of annoying mould lines. Secondly they are very much of the Old World frozen north aesthetic with the cloaks and beards. All the new Tzeentch models have a very different feel to them. So what is the solution? Clearly to do a ri

Holy Wars 2017 - Part 2b - Tables & Scenarios 6-10

In this post, we continue our survey of the tables of Holy Wars 2017.   Table 6 –Nurgle-Drink the Wyrm Otto and devious sorcerer Ethrac, riding to battle on the shoulders of their brother Ghurk, quest for more blessings from Nurgle as they look to harness the power of the mighty Wyrmrid Reaches.     This table had as its primary objective a kill-quest scenario where each player was looking to do more wounds to the resident monster, the Wyrmrid Reaches, than the opp

Sky Fires

I had planned on taking the Sylvaneth to the South Coast GT this year and doing a display board to compete against Mat Lyons and Stev Foote for the Coolest Army award. However a couple of things have scuppered that plan. Firstly my wife gave birth to our second child and, despite us purchasing a nice little SUV for transportation, there is no way that we can get a display board, two children, an army and and a pram. Therefore I decided I could do a new army! Its February right? SCGT isn't till A

Hobby update 21/02/2017

Long time no see.  Things got crazy and I have neglected this blog. I am currently identifying invertebrate species for the BTO and rushing to try and meet university deadlines and juggling my finances.  This has all lead to me not doing as much here as I wanted to.  So what has been happening? Earlier in the year I set myself a few resolutions for 2017. Namely these were to attend some events, stick to painting and to become more of a community advocate. Despite the crazy stuff g

Building a Community : Part 2

Welcome to Part 2 of my Building a Community Series.  If you missed Part 1 please check it out here.  I apologize for the delay in getting this article posted. In this installment, I want to talk about poisonous players and the current challenges with this type of player that I am currently facing.  I will not be calling out anyone by name, as that is not the direction I want to take this article.  My wish is to show you my personal dilemma that I have encountered while trying to grow my local

New beginnings!

I've always loved Warhammer and I've always preferred fantasy to 40k, I've just never owned an actual army. Been a long time lurker of forums and the Games Workshop website has always been on my bookmarks bar, so now is the time we go all in. I've got disposable income, no responsibilities and I really am just going to do this. I'm going to paint up some random bits and see where we get. I want an army to field at the end of all this that I'm happy with, whether that's Stormcast or something I p

Well it starts for real this time with pic

So all went well, rugrat is here, house is done (but still needs some work as it was a speed job and some mistakes were made). And I was thinking about going back to hobby, try painting Maw Krusha but I find it hard, as I must put the brush every time something needs to be done with the Kid. Then I started to put the models together and some kit bashing conversions, and I can do it Well with the help of a magic device the wrapper, finally I can do some thing cut the parts. The gluing I

Painting in the Age of Sigmar

Change is coming...

Like the rest of the Age of Sigmar community I was really enthused and excited by the new Disciples of Tzzeentch Battletome. I was lucky enough to get hold of some of the Kairic Acolytes which I painted up for my new force. A couple of things that I think are worth noting - the basing plans are to tie in with the rest of my Chaos force rather than having their own unique basing scheme. I'd love to have done a desert themed basing scheme for them as they have a really cool egyptian style look to

Holy Wars 2017 - Part 2a - Tables & Scenarios 1-5

By far the most stunning thing about Holy Wars are the event’s tables.  From the Endless Deserts of Shyish to the verdant forests of Ghyran, you feel like you’ve stepped into the Mortal Realms when you sit down at a table.  No detail has been ignored in the crafting of these scenarios.  While many stock terrain pieces are present on these tables, most elements of these tables are handcrafted by Steve Herner and the love and care he lavished on their composition is obvious.  There is not a single

Holy Wars 2017 - Part 1 - Overview

I’m finally back from Holy Wars 2017 and what an experience it was.  My birthday was on the Friday leading into the event so I couldn't think of a better way to celebrate it than spending a couple days rolling dice on beautiful tables.   I’ll be doing a series of blog posts over the next couple days regarding the event, the armies, and the tables/scenarios.  In this first blog, I’ll cover my own force and briefly discuss the event.   When I decided to go to Holy Wars this year, I wanted to

Savage Boarboy conversions

I bought some savage orruks and savage boarboys. However, I like the forward charging posture of ordinary orruk boarboys much more, so I got some orruk boarboy bits and tried to convert/kitbash. Now I got 5 converted savage boarboys and 5 normal savages. I replaced the body and legs. I didn't mind the metal parts, I want to make most savage orruks' weapons rusted metal instead of stone anyway. However, thay look a bit too much like normal orruks, regardless of heads and weapons/shields, so

SoCal Age of Sigmar

Las Vegas Open 2017

I have now had two weeks to recover and reflect on the Age of Sigmar GT I participated in at the Las Vegas Open. Frontline Gaming partnered with Games Workshop and really put on a hell of an event. FLG even had their new battlemats, forest scenery, and a boatload of GW terrain on hand for some epic play areas. The event ran Saturday and Sunday, each day consisting of 3 games from the Generals Handbook. (As it turned out we played all six scenarios in order.) I had 6 amazing games with most comi

Crispen's Journey through losses

Ogors march to war (With a stonehorn for support)

Hi Guys!   So I recently went to a one day 2k tournament (yesterday actually). The event had 20 players with 2 of those being rank 6 and 15 in Australia and another one, a few wins away from being best Iron Jawz in OZ. So pretty tough competition for my first ever 2k point AOS games. Onto my list! I decided to take gutbusters backed up by a frostlord on stonehorn. I was going to run all gutbusters, but real life got in the way of me painting all the gutbusters I needed.
