  1. Good Afternoon! I wanted to get this down so I basically commit myself to it. As the title and description says. 7 armies in one year. Easy.... My first task will be of course picking the 7 armies I want to do. Over the past couple of days, I have created a 1000 point army for every faction in AoS so far. You can find the link to this below, 1000pt Army Lists for every faction I then went onto looking back through them and creating a shortlist, this took the list down to 17 armies which are as follows. Daemons of Khorne DeathLords Deathrattle Khorne Bloodbound Nurgle Rotbringers Beastclaw Raiders Devoted of Sigmar Eldritch Council Fyreslayers Greenskinz Gutbusters Order Draconis Phoenix Temple Shadowblades Spiderfang Grots Stormcast Eternals Sylvaneth From this list, I looked at what models I already own in some way or another. So this then put the following at the top of the shortlist Deathlords Khorne Bloodbound Stormcast Fyreslayers Sylvaneth I already have a Stormcast Army, so ill discount that one, I have as well already painted everything in the DeathLords list apart from Archai so for new project sake, ill remove that. A done a poll on Twitter for the public to pick my first project and Phoenix Temple came out on top, so ill add that one in which puts me on 4. So 3 more... I think another Chaos and 2 Destruction armies would be nice. I like the look of Gutbusters and Spiderfang, I also like the look of Nurgle Rotbringers. With that in mind. My list is, but not in any kind of order. (And of course subject to new releases that tickle my monkey.) Phoenix Temple Khorne Bloodbound Fyreslayers Sylvaneth Gutbusters Spiderfang Nurgle Rotbringers Wish me luck!
  2. This is absolutely brilliant! Do you have a twitter account, I want to promote this. In fact ill DM you about possible Showcase of this if thats ok.
  3. If the whole army is as gross as this, it will be most welcome! Great work dude!

    Amazing! How do you get your whites looking so good!
  5. To start the campaign, I have chosen Order Free People and therefore chose my war band from these Path to Glory tables. Below is the beginning of my story in the campaign. The story of Règgio and The Wolves of Ghur. It had been a year or so since the war to defend the city of Greywater Fastness , the war which had seen the death of the King of Bretonni and ruler of House Houghton. The kingdoms were in ruin, the Kings only son Paladin Hènry was also killed in the finally days pushing away an insurance of Khorne Daemons from the edges of the city of Carcassonne leaving no true heir to the throne other than the Black Knight who was still missing from a time long before these cities of Order had sprung up. A new King was needed to unite the people once again, stories were being told of the location of the Black Knight, one who could lead the Kingdom to prosperity once again. The time had come to find him and crown him and his house once again. In the depths of the Forests surrounding Cartha, Règgio stood around a camp with a few of his trusted men by his side. He was one who did not belong to a house, like his brothers in arms. They were nomads wandering the Realms in search of something greater. He like a few others had been blessed with sipping from the Grail, but instead of returning home to lead with the countrymen, their quest was to search the Realms for clues of their past. They had heard tales of a powerful substance that allowed the bearer to whatever information they wanted to know. It was only known as 'Dark Crystals', their location, scattered in every part of every Realm. This is where we are now. Many aspiring champions, lords, questers and the likes had heard of the same, but each had heard of its powers being used for different things. An aspiring Deathbringer from Aqshy had heard the power of The Dark Crystals could be used to ascend him straight to daemonhood. A Nomad Prince from Ghyran heard the Crystals power could be used to bring their forest King Orion back from the void. A Doomseeker Fyreslayer heard that if you crack open a crystal, Ur-Gold will forever pour out from it. A Beastclaw Hunter had heard, the crystals have the power to banish the winter forever. They couldn't all be right? Could they. The search for the crystals had begun, the Age of Realm Hoppers was here. Règgio O'ùghton and The Wolves of Ghur Règgio, the Nomad Lord, Leader of the war band. His search for the Dark Crystals has started in the realm he and his people are most familiar with, Ghur. he once belonged to House Houghton, he was a nephew of the late King. He begun his quest for the Grail before the great war, a great story in itself. But now his search for information has brought him down this path. He must gain followers for the road ahead is long. The Paladin of Cartha, a noble prince of the grail, entrusted with holding aloft the banner of the lady. Règgio's brother in blood, Franc. His Men at Arms, previous followers of House Hulks will follow Règgio to the end. Trusted militia armed with Long Pikes and Shields. Règgio's fellow Grail Knights, the same that left all those years ago on the same questing campaigns. They will never leave their Lords side and will fight to the death in honour of the Lady. The Knights of the Realm, all champions in their own right, fought for their Kingdom in the Season of War. The saw Règgio on the battlefields, they saw the passion in his eyes and blessings of the lady in his every swing of blade. From that moment they vowed to follow Règgio to the end, Nomads of the Forests of Cartha, the Pegasus Knights joined the Lord to find the blessing of the lady in the own right. And so the first quest has begun, they will travel to the Verdigris Plains in Chamon as this is where it is told the power of the crystals focuses.

    Glade Guard

    So I was asked by a friend to help him paint his wanderers army for #RAW16. I loved painting my Wood Elves back in 8th edition and was up for the challenge. The first unit he gave me, was 47 Glade Guard! Daunting to look at but when you break it down, it was ok. He only wanted a quick paint job and the only stipulation was to get a purple aspect on them. So below is how i tackled this. View Full Article Here

  7. HobbyHammer is pleased to present this one day AoS event down in the South East of England by the sandy beach of Margate on the 18th February 2017. This will be more an event rather than a tournament, the games will be very mixed, ranging from Small 1000point games through Triumph and Treachery and Coalition of Death style multiplayer games and finally a straight up Pitched battle using General Handbook rules! 3 custom battle plans and 1 taken from the Generals handbook. Over the course of the day and the 6 months leading up to the event, you can immerse yourself into the story of the Dark Crystals and the Realm Hoppers. You can use the 6 months leading up to grow your Warrior and Warband, gaining Skills and Treasure to use at the event. Whilst at the event, your General will also have opportunities to gain better skills, trade Crystal shards in the Black market for Weapon and Armour upgrades. Will you become the greatest Realm Hopper? Of course, you do not need to take part in the campaign leading up to the event. You can put your name down and turn up and enjoy some fun AoS down by the sea! Either way we hope you will enjoy the pack and hope you can attend. Seeing as this is our first event, we want to start small. So we have decided to keep it to 30 people max, spaces are limited. The pack for the event will be available soon! Tickets will be available soon too and will be priced at £15 per ticket. Prize support will be from Grumpy Goblin and will be given for The Champion 2nd Place Best Sportsmen Best Painted. Put your name down below if you want to take part! Cheers
