End of May

Got back to Game of Thrones this week, demo game for Simon at the club. He seemed to like it, and it was an awesome battle! My Nordland army is one of the poorer provinces and I see the posting there for the Reiksguard to be the one that attracts the worst of the regiment,…

Week One 2023 Hobby Activity

So the soldiers household has been hit with all manner of lurgy so hobby activity has been a little slow. Whilst feeling sorry for myself I built a Blood Bowl Treeman Hoping for a better week next week. Definitely getting a game in, going to get some stuff painted and will start some kind plan…

Final Post of 2202

Weekly round up of hobby, this feels like something I can manage without too much stress! I want to get the Knights finished, Brendan is telling me off for not painting the Witch Elves he’s sent me! I may also get dragged away to paint some bits for Xenos Rampant. But an exciting hobby week…

Empire Civil War Conclusion

Over the winter and touches of spring Tom and I have been battling for a chunk of land that sits between the border of Nordland and Middenland (let’s call it Sheffield). I had been doing pretty well and had pushed Tom’s forces back to a village that if I could capture or raze would leave…

Empire on Empire

As we know rank and file miniature wargaming is the best. If you don’t know this you might be on the wrong blog. Saying that I have like twenty followers so please don’t leave! However There is a lot of wargaming that is ranked up soldiers fighting each other! So what keeps happening in our…

Inner Circle Empire Knights with Great Weapons

Now I have been told these lads are the absolute mutts nuts. So I have been working away to get a whole unit of ten done!

Project Empire

Birthday game is looking to be Empire Civil War. Andy is Middenheim, Tom has a mix of all sorts, Kenton will be VCs representing Slyvania and myself and Keiran will be using my Nordland forces. I have cracked on a bit with them and now feel like I could field nearly a whole new Empire…

Empire Crossbows

My resolution for orcs lasted a whole day. Then we played some Warhammer and I used Empire, then guess what I did. I know, I am a flighty painter. I should be focusing on the Orcs but I saw an easy ten model win and I took it. White undercoat plus the contrast magic. I…

Hochland Spearmen

I am really struggling with these. They are not very nice models. They seem to have too much detail which is wishy washy and indistinct making it the worst of all worlds, sorry Ally. I have put the command in the second rank as it looks better. I have moved them away from me as…

Hochland Outriders

More Empire soldiers for the mighty Hochland force. The red and green I think look really good together. I don’t think there will be any more cavalry after this as the idea is to have a small distinct strike force. I have found some base effects stuff in my hobby stash so I might try…
