    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

Introduction & Preface

Hi Everyone, With this blog I'm hoping to join a community of painters, storytellers, hobbyists, and miniwarlords. AOS has captured my imagination after nearly 20 years away from the hobby. Here you'll find the tales of my dwarf clan with pictures of the accompanying models. As competitive gaming isn't what has me hooked, you'll find this blog centered on narratives and creating lore. If you're looking to stick to competitive lists and the finer points of rules, this won't be for you. With

Horned Legion of Mireguard: Part 2

Daemonic reinforcements have arrived to the corrupted spires of the Mireguard, with still more on the way.  Joining the ranks of the Horned Legion are the maliciously adorable Nurgle Chaos Furies (kitbashed) and the pustulant plague bearer horde.   Keep your eyes open in the coming weeks.  More is on the way in the coming weeks as well!

Introducing The Steel City Sigmar Tournament Series (ITC)

Hello Everyone!  I wanted to talk this week about my local club, and the exciting things that are happening. The club is located in and around Pittsburgh, PA, and several small Age of Sigmar groups have popped up all over the place.  Clubs from Latrobe, Ligonier, Pittsburgh, Bridgeville, Monroeville, and I am sure others I have missed, are off playing Age of Sigmar together at their friendly local gaming store (FLGS).  Occasionally people from these gaming groups pop into our new Games Wo

Let's Talk Prices Real Quick

Last week's Tzaangors Pre-Orders had me in a bliss the likes you've never seen before, but I've come off that high when I got to think about what I was going to purchase: The Bad: Kairic Acolytes at 20 for $50. Still a better ppm than 10 for $35, but this has been a climbing trend. See Plague Monks and Crypt Ghouls, this is quite a bit of an upward trend. Ogroid Thaumaturge at $41, Curseling at $25, Gaunt Summoner at $25. (Don't let them know the Magister is still at $15) Clampack

Hotdrop Gary's Nonsense

New year, new (old) project!

Sooooo then..... this happened!... As we are all aware the awesome new lord of change mini is close to release now, and as soon as the first leaked pics hit the interwebs I was in love. My dastardly work colleague Martin decided to use this as an oppertunity to bully me into another age of sigmar project as I rather lost momentum on my last one sadly, and to be honest it didint take too much bullying. Ive had a pretty big Tzeentch daemon army sat in boxes for years now and they have

Resurrection at Dreadstone Blight

I played a battle tonight using my Narrative Battleplan "Stuff of Legends".  We rolled up about the most boring thing we could have, so I'll have to do a little work to make sure that things aren't boring, but even so it was a pretty fun battle.  On the Victory Conditions table, we rolled up "Monument" for the Objective, which is what made it a bit dull.  I had Flesh-eater Courts and got "Command" for my motivation while my brother brought Beastmen and appropriately got "Ruin".  We brough artefa

SoCal Age of Sigmar

Empires At War!

Yesterday was the last Age of Sigmar tournament for me prior to the 2017 Las Vegas Open. It was hosted by Game Empire Pasadena and jointly run by their staff and Scott Reed. The event used a similar rules pack to LVO’s. 2000 points with a 500 point sideboard from the General’s Handbook.  Again I brought my Nurgle Rotbringer list led by The Glotkin and his Lieutenant Bloab Rotspawned.  My sideboard had 500 points of Daemons of Nurgle but I did not dip into them for the event. For my first game

Back to the Mortal Realms

Last year was great. I painted up a full army, I attended my first and second tournament ever. GW decided to ditch the old persona and began the great process of renewal. My commission painting company grew in clients and painters, all in all things are good. I played more games last year than the past three, but still not nearly enough (there's never enough gaming). After my last tournament I was a little burned out. I cant stress enough I really enjoyed the events I went to and will

An Endless Waaagh!!!

I won a thing!

Hey there! So, the warchanter was finished yesterday in time for Legions of Legend at my local GW. Each entry is judged and there is a winner, and somehow this time it was my turn! Very pleased, I wanted to do my best with this but it was also a bit of a test model for how the brutes would be painted. Shifted my scheme around a bit, such as dropping the strapping colour, instead using the reddish leather for all straps including weapon bindings. I also changed the trousers from black to dark, wa

Battle Two - 2000 pt Matched Play Event

Battle Two was against Jack's Beastclaw Raiders. In this game I got tabled This scenario is blood and glory; we both deploy the majority of our forces down one flank with the other flank getting only one unit of crypt horrors, with the unit of 30 ghouls hanging back to secure the objective in my half. I mostly suffer here from not understanding Beastclaw raiders! In the first turn the hunter pops up with his dogs and puts a ridiculous 8 wounds on the gkozd with his bow. Dogs charge in

Weekend 1 Day Event 1/15/17

Hello everyone, sorry for the delay in this week's blog post.  Nurgle has blessed me with a plague and it has been a struggle, but I am battling back!  Enjoy!     This past weekend, I attended a Competitive Tournament at my local Games Workshop Store (Bridgeville, PA).  It was a six player 2000 point event, with three games scored on Win/Loss/Draw.  The Tournament was free, but that didn't mean the competition was any less fearsome.

Fluff Post #3 - No rest for the wicked

The smell of sulphur was invasive to Sigmund's nostrils as he took up a defensive stance behind the line of leadbelchers. The scratch built cannons they wielded, while obnoxious to the senses, made short work of the undead hordes marching against them. The scraps of iron and brick they spewed into the enemy hordes sent bone and armour flying with each destructive volley. His ears were ringing as the cannons were raised vertical. He and his brother bulls pushed through the retreating gunmen, crea

The die is (Storm)cast

Alpha strike

So it has been 2 weeks since my first post which is roughly the rate at which I want to be posting so I am counting that as my first success! In terms of developments and progress I feel it has been pretty successful. I've managed to build quite a few miniatures and even started to get them painted. A couple of (poor) pics are attached showing what I have managed to get done, also been playing around with prisma as the plan will be to have warscrolls with my unit images on to take to tourna

Fluff Post #2 - Bruma Talltongue

The square channels cut through the rough rock in the ceiling allowed four pillars of diminishing light into the dank antechamber. It was a bitter reminder of the daunting task that lay ahead after the sun had set and the blessed connection to the world above had vanished. The only luminescence would be from the crackling braziers that lined the flagstones and the occasional glint of an overly curious glow worm.  Amidst the discarded iron weapons and splintered bone sat the hulking form of

Tournament Report - Imps Gaming Jan - Matched Play

So I thought since I've done little painting and more playing I would put some battle reports up here, and since we just completed a three game tournament this would be a good place to start. I took a Flesh Eaters army with a Mounrngul friend. The list was Ghoul King on Zombie Dragon, Crypt Haunter Courtier (General, Summoning Sword),  Another Haunter, 2 x 6 crypt ghouls and a unit of 30 ghouls. First turn summon the Mourngul with the sword. Battle One - Lee Bromley (FEC) - Gift From t

Painting Fur for my Goregruntaz

Hey, I decided I wanted to do a quick video on my scheme for painting fur! I wanted it to be quick and easy but also interesting and not just one boring colour, so I went for a gradient from black to light brown, I’m really happy with the results so I hope you guys enjoy the video and can maybe use this scheme for yourselves!

2016 round up, Return of the Rise of the Tomb Kings

What is dead may never die, baby. The Tomb Kings may be discontinued, but they live on in our hearts. I actually started with Tomb Kings 15 years ago. Threw out a lot of old models when I quit. Then I came back. After I started the Death army, I had a clear theme in mind for them. But I couldn't stay away from the sandy skelletons. So I built a few, then a lot. Now I have a lot, and am building more. But that's for another time, now to get into the stuff I painted in 2016.
