    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

What is the Generals Handbook and why you need it

It took a while for Games Workshop to release a general rule book for Age of Sigmar. But when they did we got a whopper of a book.   This book is a necessity for AOS players. AOS works really well with story driven narrative games. The big thing when AOS came out was that GW did a brave thing in removing points from the game. The game went from having an massive ruleset that can be difficult for beginners to a 4 page booklet.  It took a couple of months for GW to release this

New year, new army

2016 saw me start back with the hobby. I played a staggering 9 games of AoS, (5 of which were at the Facehammer tournament) using an army made up of some re-based stuff I still had lying around and some units a friend kindly let me use. Whilst I didn't exactly play an abundance of games or manage to achieve some grand hobby milestone I thoroughly enjoyed my AoS experience and can definitely say that I have caught the bug. Towards the end of the year I started to think about what army I wanted to

2017 Hobby Resolutions and Goals

Happy New Year everyone!  2017 has finally arrived and that means setting a few goals and resolutions for the coming trip around the Sun.  Here are my Hobby resolutions and goals for 2017. 1) Attend more Events and go for a Podium.  I have always been competitive and while I am one of the consistently better players in my area I am pretty sure I will be suffering "Big Fish, Little Pond" syndrome with this goal.  Nonetheless I want to try to hang around the top tables at some major events and

Hexwraiths Ready for Basing

My Hexwraiths are now done and ready for basing. I'm pretty happy with how they turned out, especially the fire since I was unsure about that. Now all I have left to paint (besides the bases on everything) is one more Wraith, a Banshee, and the Mourngul. My goal is to get the all done before I leave for a 2 week vacation in 2 weeks. I think I can do it.

My ogor army is ready!

In the last days of 2016 I managed to complete my ogor army, Thundertusk and maneater being my last models painted. I started in March 2016 with my very first model, bought Ogre Battalion box and painted my first ogor in June. Gradually I increased the army with Mournfangs, Maneaters, Frostsabres, Thundertusk and Stonehorn and I managed to finish it within six months. Altogether I now have 9 Ogors (4 bought from ebay before I decided to paint myself), 9 Leadbelchers, 6 Ironguts, Huskard on Thude

The last maneater

I finally finished my last converted maneater. Converted from Stonehorn spare ogor, I tried to make it similar to Golgfag model. So I added horns on a gutplate and made a cloak from greenstuff, which was my first and therefore quite a challenge. And it did not turn out as well as I had hoped. But for the first one it is okay, I think.   View the full article

(Year) End Times

(Year) End Times And what an incredible year it's been too. Such an exciting time to be in the hobby with surprises around every corner to excite & inspire.  I started the year with a now failed hobby goal to attend 12 events over the course of the year, beginning well after attending three between January - March. Then life got in the way and implemented a six month gap onto my hobby ambition. Oh well, resolutions & all that! Someth

2016 - The Year of Change

Well its been one hell of a year if you are a hobbyist!  Going to take a look back over what I have been up to, and maybe a small look forwards to 2017. So my year started off with Age of Sigmar in its infancy.  At a club level we had devised our own 'slot' system for ease of play, and also added a maelstrom of war deck for variety.  I headed off to Nottingham early in the year, eager to see how others around the country were playing the game.  A box full of stuff alongside my Bro, it was a

Bishmeister's Terrain Blog

Skaven Blood Bowl Pitch & Modular Sewer Terrain for AOS   This blog will document my progress in building a Skaven Blood Bowl pitch which will also be part of a larger modular sewer complex for Age of Sigmar.   I will also  discuss some of the model making techniques, tools and materials used during this project.   I find the idea of building a Blood Bowl pitch incredibly appealing. It's a relatively small project that has the potential to look great. It can also be

Holidays... Progress not as quick as hoped

Well, Christmas has come and gone.  I did not get nearly as much done as I had hoped.  I reorganized the paint station though, and that’s good, since it was a horrid mess.     I did get some models built,  We have a VLoZD (Vamp lord on Zombie Dragon), 20 Skeletons, a Vamp Lord on Nightmare, 5 Hexwraiths, 2 Vamp Lords and 2 Necromancers.  Not a bad start, but then the Christmas haul came in... <sigh>  More work...  Hopefully, the New Years Weekend gives a lot more t

Happy New Year Everyone!

Happy New Year to everyone on TGA, anyone at Rygas Roughnecks in Exeter, Exmouth Imperial Wargames Club, anyone I met up at at WHW, and to all the Kiwi's out here in Aotearoa.  It's been an interesting year for me after a 20 year break from GW and the hobby, and I'm stoked to rekindle my love for Warhammer Fantasy and gaming! Here's an overall group WIP shot of what I got done in '16 Games wise here's a look back at how I did with my pure allegiance Pestilens army as I learne

Completing the Silver Tower (no spoilers)

Well... just completed the painting side of things, yet to throw a dice in anger though. I have a strong paint-before-play ethic (influenced by my gaming group). Good fun to paint, excellent models and got to work on several different techniques that I wouldn't normally. The only down side, which would make me strongly reconsider purchasing future Warhammer Quest products, is that I've spent 2 months painting 50+ models and don't have a playable army. I'll see how much playability I ge

My 2016 Warhammer Top 5

Let us be honest 2016 has been a terrible year, but the shining gem this year has been Warhammer.  I honestly doubt I would have survived this trip around the sun without all the good going on in the Hobby. Now on to my Warhammer Top 5 for this past year. 5) Games Workshop Reaching Out:          When the year started no one could have predicted the cultural change at Games Workshop.  Age of Sigmar was still a bit of an unknown, but now it is a thriving and continually growing community of

Hexwraiths ho!

My Spirit Hosts are done now except for the basing so it's on to the next unit, the Hexwraiths. I have I have the ghostly parts done on 3 of them so far, so just 2 more to go. They are taking about one per evening right now, so not a bad pace. After all the ghostly parts are done it's onto the scythes and the flames. The flames will be a bright green when they are done, via the use of a Waywatchers Green glaze. I think that is suppose to be grass underneat

Age of Skeptics Part 3 - Painting and Modelling

Today I am just going to briefly talk about my plans for painting my new army and my current progress. First thing I am going to do is tackle the Night Goblins with fanatics I have 90 of these to finish. I will be painting all of these in one big chunk I don't recommend this for everyone it takes a lot of discipline to get though this many in one go but I find it the fastest and its so rewarding every time you finish even one wash over 90 models (picking up the first one again less so) I pl

On Wings of Lightning

Except for the headswap, I've decided to keep my prosecutor prime mostly stock, though I might yet add some feather tokens. This model is just so much busier than the liberator prime, or even the retributor prime, and I didn't want it to look crowded. Thoughts?

Progression as a painter

So, I finally got to rebase all my ogre models. Instead of plain black painted square bases I now have round bases with agrellan earth, stones etc. Looks so much better. I also completed Stonehorn and Thundertusk, both great models and lovely to paint. I will post post pictures of both round bases and new painted models as soon as I get some pictures done. To sum up this year hobby-wise: it was surprisingly fun. I painted my first model ever in March, this year. I took a look on
