  1.  Hey Everyone!  I have yet another Army Lore post for you today!  This one is very special as it is for my very first Age of Sigmar Army which has had a bit of rebrand since their original lore was put out long ago.  Now dubbed The Scions of Strength they are led by not one, but two mighty heroes of The Mortal Realms!  Usually, I find a Pop Queen to represent the leader of my faction and while looking and asking others for input I stumbled upon an even better idea.  Having just finished painting a Knight-Draconis I decided to paint her up to represent my wonderful queen of a wife and after pulling out my favorite model in the Stormcast Range, and touching it up a bit, I also have myself finally represented on the table as a Lord-Castallent!  Halauren Stormblossom and Charliamh Brawnhammer have an eternal bond and will see Sigmar's foes vanquished across The Mortal Realms.  Only The Faithful!  As always Stay Stormcast Strong and Happy Hobbying!

  2. Hey Everyone!  Today I have yet another Army Lore post for you.  I recently completed my Kharadron Overlords fleet and after choosing a suitable pop star, Ava Max, to represent the army I decided to get to work and write a short piece of lore.  My flagship The Maxa-Va has a bit of mystery attached to it after its most recent journey.  I hope you enjoy this lore and as always Happy Hobbying and Stay Stormcast Strong!

  3. Today I have a very special post as I bring you some more Army Lore.  I have been building a Path To Glory Roster using Orruk Warclans over the past few months and while it is still a small army I wanted to write up a bit of background for it as well as incorporate my usual Pop Queen into it all.  My Ironjawz force is "lead" by Arch-Revenant Elish'ia based on Billy Elish.  It is a bit of fun in making it work, but that is what I love about The Mortal Realms and crafting your own Narrative!  Enjoy the lore below and as always Happy Hobbying and stay Stormcast Strong!

  4. Hey Everyone!  Today I wanted to do an unboxing of the amazing gift I received during the #Hohohobbyvices Gift Exchange I recently received.  Before I dive in I want to give a big shout-out to Andrew who organizes this each and every year!  Follow him on Instagram and Twitter!  The man is a fellow Hobby Hero and a wonderful human and being my first year joining this exchange I can safely say that it is an amazing experience and a great way to meet someone new within this amazing Community!  Be sure to go follow the talented Pascal (the person who sent me a lovely gift) over on Instagram as well!

  5. Hello Everyone!  Today I am very excited to bring you another review of an excellent new product to the blog.   The team over at Templar Objective Markers reached out to me not long ago and asked if I would take a look at their Objective markers for both Age of Sigmar and Warhammer 40k.  There is currently a Kickstarter for the Objective markers if you are interested in jumping on board.  Having played on and with the markers from The Honest Wargamer and Facehammer, both of which are quality products themselves, I can say there are some nice improvements to the kit from Templar that are well worth a look.

  6. Hey Everyone!  Today I want to show off a bit of lore for my new Khrone Hero!  I have had a Khrone army for Age fo Sigmar for quite a while, but I never gave them a proper leader, but that has finally changed.   D'ua Lipana, The Sanguine Priestess is a fallen Khainite who has found, what she believes, to be the true god of murder!  As usual, she is based on one of my favorite Pop Stars and this time the base of the character is Dua Lipa!  I hope you enjoy this early draft of lore and as always stay Stormcast Strong Happy Hobbying!

  7. On today's I wanted to give you all some insight into changes coming to the blog for 2021.  Over the past few months, I have felt my content slipping a bit more into content for content's sake as opposed to being truly passionate about what I am writing.  In order to combat this, I sat down and really considered what posts of mine did I really enjoy and have wanted to do more of in the future?  Two article series really stuck out to me as I reviewed my older content.  The first being my Life Lessons and Wargaming and the second being my exploration of the history from The World That Was of characters from Age of Sigmar's current lore.  My plan going forward is to give you articles either for these two ongoing series or something like it every two to three months in order to give you longer and higher quality content to read as opposed to weekly posts that may be, more or less, filler (algorithms be damned).  As I write army lore for my many Warhammer armies I might slip them in as well between these core posts.  You can expect the YouTube and Podcast content to carry on as they have been.  I am excited about these changes to my blog and as a sneak peek my next post will be all about Sigmar, from birth to his ascension to godhood and you can expect it to be posted by the end of March.

  9. Hey Everyone! Today I wanted to introduce you to the character I have created for my new Slaves to Darkness army. Mistress Ga’Gar (based on Lady Gaga) is a Chaos Lord seeking pleasure all across the realms for her dark deity Slaanesh. I hope you enjoy this short piece about my new character.

    Mistress%2BGa%2527Gar.jpg

    Steam rose in the chill morning air of Ghyran as the hot blood poured out of a stab wound of a prone marauder.  Mistress Ga'Gar breathed deep at the scent as she watched the life fade from the mortal sacrifice before her.  The marauder made no effort to staunch the flow of his lifeblood as ecstasy overtook them in their final moments before stillness was all that was remained.  

    Placing a finger in the still cooling blood, Ga'Gar drew curving shapes upon her Melusian form, the infernal symbols of her Dark God, Slaanesh.  A portion of the ecstasy felt by the sacrifice passed into her body as she finished the sixth of the blasphemous symbols on her body.  This had been a worthy sacrifice to begin her day, but she was a Pleasure Queen and there was still so much time left in the day to experience even more passion from the blood spilled of others, but yet she let her mind linger while staring at the pooling blood before her.

    Blood used to be all she cared about, but those memories had become hazier and hazier over time.  Besides her name, she couldn't fully remember much else besides a few flashing images in her mind's eye.  Great Cauldrons, Blood covered Aelves, and a blonde-haired Queen who lead them all.  These fading memories and her Mesluian body were enough to tell her she once worshiped the God Khaine.  However, she did not know which Temple she had called hers and why she, along with a number of other Khainites, turned their worship to Slaanesh.

    It hardly mattered now though as Slaanesh filled her and her followers with all the pleasure they could desire.  Their supplication and devotion to their new Dark God were more than enough.  Ga'Gar caringly picked up the dead marauder in her clawed left arm, a blessing from her new deity, and placing it in the nearby pyre.  As the flames consumed the sacrifice a cloud of purple smoke erupted forth from the pyre engulfing her for the briefest of moments.

    In that moment she saw a sign from her Dark God.  A primordial form birthed from the maw of Slaanesh taking shape in the Realms.  She did not know exactly where this being had settled, but she could feel the pull of it now and she would follow it to its cradle.  Mistress Ga'Gar and her Slaves to Darkness would set off to welcome the child, but mot without plenty of pleasure found along the way.

  11.  Happiest of Holidays my friends!  Today I wanted to share a small photoshoot I have done for my soon to be retired metal Witch Aelves.  When I first began my Daughters of Khaine Journey I had a plethora of the old Metal Witch Aelf Sculpts (Thanks again Domus!) which I absolutely love as a sculpt.  However,  as my journey continues I have decided to retire them and give them a well-deserved rest.  However, my plans for my Daughters of Khaine in 2021 is not slowing down at all!

  15.  Recently my order of the Facehammer Objective Markers arrived and today I wanted to give a brief review of the product and encourage all of you to go check them out for yourself.  Whether you are using them for competitive practice or, like myself, using them for casual games in order to take less stress off measuring during scoring.  All in all, it is a great product made by some great folks and you can pick them up over at Element Games.
