    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

Game 2: Solaris (playing mostly Tomb Kings)

Scenario: Border war. Major victory gave 15-5 in tournament points. That number was then adjusted +-5p according to the difference in killpoints for eliminated warscrolls for a final score between 20-0 and 0-20.   Solaris´ army consisted of: Settra, Tomb king on foot, Hierophant, Tomb prince on Warsphinx, 2x5 Skeleton horsemen, 2x1 Tomb Scorpions, 3 Necropolitan Knights, 40 skeletons and 6 Spirit Hosts. My army is presented in the first blog post of this blog.

Blog Introduction

Welcome to the Hinterlands. In this blog you'll find painted miniatures, fluff, rules and more, all for Age of Sigmar!  Some of you may have followed my previous blog over on Dakkadakka ("Siegfried's Desperados" - link), this is my attempt to start a new blog that is on both TGA and Dakkadakka simultaneously. It is also my attempt to make my best blog to date! It's going to revolve around big monthly updates, so it will hopefully be something to look forward to (like a White Dwarf, but

'Right of Conquest' Map Campaign Version 3

So, here is the final draft for the 'Right of Conquest' map campaign. The play testing has been going well. The campaign feels balanced and tactical. The latest revision adds a number of new actions which can be carried out during the resource phase, and tones down the numbers of troops that can be raised in a season. The wording of the 'battle phase' paragraph has been tidied up, hopefully to make it all a bit clearer.  Enjoy, and thanks for the positive feedback.

Glade Riders - WIP

Glade Riders - WIP Today I started progress on my wanderer's... I decided to start with some glade riders.  The models are beautiful, although the lack of poses on the horses is slightly annoying. The riders will be coming up next and I can't wait to really get stuck into the details.   Scheme: First of all, I'm going to paint a red/orange autumnal scheme. I'm not much of a 'traditional' army painter and like to paint colours which I feel make th

Do you choose the gore or does the gore choose you?

I have been engaging in some vigorous brushing over the last few weeks and once I got my hair just right I banged out a few mini's too, ha! I love Khorne and have had both a 40k and WFB Khorne army in the past, but they were always basically unplayable in mono-god lists so I strayed, but when Gorechosen game out I couldn't resist! After getting the free WD Slaughter priest I hit the eBay and picked up the remaining 3 models I needed to make the full 8 Gorechosen of Khorne. These g

Inepticon '16

Hot on the heels on Guardcon was Inepticon, a narrative event run by the excellent Nicholas Jebson of the Kapiti Wargamers club. This was a whole weekend event, with the Saturday games @1k and the Sunday games @2k. We had 8 on Saturday and 6 on Sunday, and played at a local college. I made both days, Saturday taking a fluffier list to the 1k games and Sunday playing a more competitive one. I wont best painted both days and also won the 2k tournament on the Sunday with 2 majors and a mi

Khaine's Black Hand

The wrath do thou sing, O goddess, of Ullaron's son Ælrik that baneful wrath which brought countless woes upon the Asur,  and sent forth to Mirai many valiant souls of warriors, and made themselves to be a spoil for beasts and all manner of birds; and thus the will of Khaine was being brought to fulfillment   Good evening Ladies and Gents. After several months of very lazy hobby activity I stumbled across this wonderful website (tha

White Dwarf October 2016

The follow up issue to the new White Dwarf monthly format lived up to expectations. It featured the new release of the Genestealer Cult for Warhammer 40k and contained a bonus comic book set in the grimdark. As far as Age of Sigmar content goes White Dwarf featured A Tale of Four Warlords. This appears to be an ongoing feature where four Games Workshop employees started with a Start Collecting AoS faction. In October’s issue we were introduced to their paint scheme and new additions to their ar

Painting Orruk Skin!

Hi boys and girls, check out my new video on how I painted Orruk skin, might help some of you budding ironjawz or bonesplittaz generals out there! I'd just like to thank all of you who have watched my videos so far! I can see in my video analytics that a fair old chunk of my views come from tga.community! You guys really rock!

So it begins

When Sigmar started last summer I decided to try and do small forces of about 4-6 warscrolls for multiple armies across all the alliances. So far I have managed a stormcast,  bloodbound, sylvaneth, wanderers, high elves, moonclan-still plenty to go. Loved doing this and I intend to wage war against the mountain of plastic I have in various stages from boxed and sealed to half painted.    The intention is to stick with destruction until the new year, but do not be surprised to see a cha

Start Collecting Boxes Speculation

This was a little listing experiment that I started that I think everyone else may have thought of before. I’ll cover Order for now and probably do the other Grand Alliances down the road. But it’s always fun to speculate: Start Collecting Boxes usually have the same following things: -          At least one full unit of Battleline, maybe a little more models but never two (usually close to 1.5) -          If the army has access to a cavalry unit, it will be a part of the b

Mighty Lord of Khorne and Bloodsecrator WiP

A bit of varnish frosting/crystalization on the lord makes me sad, but broadly speaking I am happy with how it turned out. Probably needed to be more aggressive with the highlights on the bumps/warts/whatever on the fleshhound, and I am not pleased with how the 'comb' under it's chin turned out. Just feels sloppy. Also, my current WiP Bloodsecrator, have started working on highlights.    Edit : I managed to clean up the frosting quite substantially and retake some pictures, althou

Oldhammer Undead

I have always wanted to recapture some of that hobby magic from my formative years. As much as I love the kits GW are bringing out these days, I have always hankered after those classic figures from the 4th edition Undead book. I am fortunate in that I have been able to make a start on collecting this 'classic range', and I look forward to being able to share my progress. These models are from the era that I started getting into the hobby. I spent a lot of time wishing I had these mode

Little by little...

It's been a while sadly, so busy in non hobby life! My latest efforts have been to get a couple more blood reavers finished, my mighty lord of Khorne completed and purchased Gorechosen for yet more awesome models! Not a great deal I know but some progress!  Ive also assembled 10 blood warriors to join the ranks of the bloodbound. So my current plan for the rest of the year is me trying to be realistic. Finish 20 blood reavers, Bloodstoker and 10 blood warriors. Should be

Battlereport game 1: Jonas (Free People)

The scenario was Take and hold. A major victory gave 15-5 in tournament points (10-10 otherwise). That number was then adjusted +-5p according to the difference in killpoints for eliminated warscrolls for a final score between 20-0 and 0-20. I made this battlereport writeup from memory and I therefor apologize in advance if I got anything wrong.    Jonas army from memory; Freeguild General, 10 archers, 2x10 handgunners, hurricanium, 16 knights of the realm, 2x cannons, engineer and Leoen Leceour

Reports from fanatic

The Fantasia Fanatic is a reoccuring tournement held twice a year in Umeå. Two weeks ago I attended the 30th Fanatic with my Sylvaneth.  We were 40 people playing 5 games over two days (200 players in total counting 40k, 9th age, warmachine and AoS).  In the following blog entries I will make some battlereports but first the list and some pretournement thoughts.    2000p Sylvaneth alligence  Spirit of Durthu  Treelord Ancient  Loremaster Branchwych  20 dry

Announcing End Times update 2, including the Mighty Battles campaign system and costum warscrolls!

Yes, it's finally time for another update! On the 19th of November, Battletome: The End Times update 2 will be released. It contains a number of new features and fixes to the existing battleplans. It was quite a journey to get to the first release, and the reaction was immense! It's been shared in all sorts of media, and mentioned on numerous podcasts. I was even invited to talk about it on an episode of Garagehammer! I took a few months off after completing it to focus on other things, but now

To paint a furnace...

Here is my work in progress on one of the furnaces for my list. I'll be doing the same techniques on both.  I began by with white primer, then dusted the bottom with necrotic flesh primer.  This helped set a mild green/yellow tone to the model. Then next step, I began doing the smoke elements by wet blending skull white, stone grey and matte black.  Next I used plague shader to set my initial green shade.  Then I re did the smoke elements and the chain with Claymore Blade, th

Da Brain-Scorched Whaaagh

Here some pictures from my latest finished project, a Greenskinz 1500pt army I prepared in the past 2 months for my local GW Armies on Parade. Main design cues were Iron age / Conan the barbarian mixed with wasteland wanderers (i.e. Mad Max). Also, the army palette is a sort of gamble on using brown as the main color in order to make the green of the skin pop more. Background wise: The Brain-Scorched Whaaagh is a collection of tribes who got lost in the middle of an extremely arid

An Introduction

In the past I have tried to get into the hobby that I use to love to play as a teenage kid. Some attempts have been more successful than others. Three years ago I managed to paint up a sizeable high elf army. I enjoy painting and wanted to do a good job. It took a year to paint and by the time I got near it's completion my interest waned and real life took hold.  The large of rules and time everything took wasn't compatible with my lifestyle and short attention span. If you want you can che
