After my run on space marines I had the itch to get back onto the fantasy bandwagon. Having painted a pretty simple colour scheme for the SM I thought I’d challenge myself and like a glutton for punishment went straight for the Bretonnians. Like many I have a love/hate relationship with them. I love the… Read More Hobby update – Bretonnians
The rare choices represent, as the title says, those items that are the least commonly available. They are restricted to a 0-2 choice in 8th with a maximum of 25% of the points. It also arguable contains some of the strongest choices available to the army. The previous parts of the review can be found… Read More Dwarf Army Book Review – Part 6 – Rare Choices
The 5th part of the review covers the special choices. This section, in any edition, inevitably covers the choices that you really want to take, the ‘fun’ stuff. And for dwarves, it is no different. In 8th ed. you could take 50% of your army from this section. The previous parts of the review can… Read More Dwarf Army Book Review – Part 5 – Special Choices
In the 4th article we will be looking at the core options available to the dwarves. In most editions of the game you have to take either a certain number of units from core or a percentage of your army (or sometimes both). In 8th edition it was just 25% of your army. This could… Read More Dwarf Army Book Review – Part 4 – Core Troops
In the 3rd part of the review I looked at the character models available to the dwarves. I also decided to do this a little differently and instead of spitting the section by Lords and then Heroes, I instead grouped them by the Lord and Hero counterpart. As an aside, when uploading the pics of… Read More Dwarf Army Book Review – Part 3 – Lords and Heroes
So the wanderer returns and brings glad tidings. What could they be? The Nurseries have opened. And there was much rejoicing. It’s funny how a simple thing can make such a difference. When they sent round a letter asking if we’d be sending back our daughter, my missies ticked ‘maybe’. I was more adamant. There’s… Read More Hobby Update – Beastmen and Dwarves
Half term week is upon us and with that, it means the in laws have descended so I’ll have very little time to paint. So this weekend I launched a frantic flurry of activity to clear some items off the board. A little while ago I painted up the original Gotrek and Felix models. Off… Read More Hobby Update – Dwarves and a little something else
August was a bit of a washout for me hobby wise. This was mainly down to being out of the country for two weeks on two sweet holidays (just rubbing it in). However, I did manage to finally finish off the last of the 4 big Lizardmen gribblies I currently own, namely the Stegadon Ancient… Read More Hobby Update – Lizardmen and Travels
I am on fire this month. No sooner have I finished one thing than another rolls off the table. It’s something about these big lizards. I am really enjoying painting them. It seems to suit my fairly basic style but with big bold colours – happy days! So the next one to come off the… Read More Hobby Update – More Lizards
The blog has again been a bit quiet recently. That’s not to say I’ve not been doing anything, no sir-ee. I’ve played a couple of games of Kings of War in the club competition. I’ll do a post about these at a later date but it won’t be my normal detailed faire as although I… Read More Hobby Update – Lizards and Dwarves
