Age of Sigmar has proven to be an excellent step up from Warhammer Fantasy Battles over these past years in regards to gameplay, lore, and many other reasons. I feel the game is constantly going from strength to strength and while the lore continues to develop more and more depth there is one aspect I feel is lacking overall in the form of secondary named characters. While some armies do have a number of secondary named heroes the majority are lacking anything but a single core figure. In today’s post, I offer my thoughts and hopes in seeing more of these characters move from lore to tabletop in the years to come.

Earlier this week I proposed an interesting thought experiment on my Twitter and it created some fun discussion. That question was “We all associate with one army or another (ex: myself and Daughters of Khaine). If you had to pick a different army and could do your hobby journey all over again which would you prefer to be associated?”. Some responses were very off the wall while others were still in line with what that individual enjoyed as far as army lore or aesthetics. In my post today I want to explore my answer and try to extrapolate what my Sylvaneth would look like today if that was the army I decided to run as my main army and essentially use as a brand on myself.

Over the past year, I finally began the process of taking back my overcrowded basement. While half of it was carved out as my personal hobby space it was still chocked full of old junk in need of tossing and donating. I craved a space for not only wargaming but also for working out and I am finally able to say I now have that space! After many months of sorting and cleaning and moving what I am calling "The Anvil of Apotheosis" is now ready to go. Wargaming and Lifting shall begin in great quantities!

Hey Everyone! Today I wanted to introduce you to the character I have created for my new Luminth Realm-Lords army. Ami'le The Immortal (based off Amy Lee of Evanescence) is a High-Warden from The Great-Nation of Iliatha and is in search of her unknown Clone-Twin while also fighting to halt Chaos whoever it may spread. I hope you enjoy this short piece about my new character.

The backlog, the pile of shame, the mountain of grey plastic. There are many names for it, but we all know what I am talking about here. We have or have had a hobby backlog in our lives as we get over-ambitious about our projects, having a strong FOMO over that new release, and many other reasons to be sure. Having more models unopened than you might ever get to paint or play with is nothing to be proud of in my book nor is it passion. It is a lack of discipline and requires a change in our thought process as a community. Regardless of how your backlog came to be and how you feel about them, I am here to tell you today that you need to get rid of it one way or another. Doing so is a favor to yourself and one that will give you more enjoyment from this hobby we all love.

Hey Everyone! It has been a while since I posted an actual blog post, but today I wanted to bring you the lore for my custom Sylvaneth character, Miley Cypress. As you can guess she is loosely based on the pop star Miley Cyrus, but with my own Mortal Realms twist! I recently completed the conversion and had to immediately write up her lore and share it with you all here. If you want to see a hint of this character's creation check out this bit of Tayrathi Lore. As always, I hope you enjoy it!

A Plea for Secondary Named Heroes
