Building the White Dwarf 137 Warhammer Fantasy Townhouse

One of my very earliest posts on this blog covered building and painting the White Dwarf 130 Cottage, which was a lovely little project and provided a terrain piece that has seen action in virtually every game of Warhammer I’ve played since…clearly a hot property! I’ve always intended to revisit the Modelling Workshop series, and […]

The Khorne-clusion: Rounding out Vileclaw’s Reavers

I decided at the outset of the Oldhammer Warcry project that I would aim to paint up a 10-strong warband. Originally I was thinking of three dwarfs, six warriors and an ogre, but as it turned out, having painted two dwarfs I was happy enough with those, and decided to paint an extra warrior instead […]

Painting Grimstikk’s Moonz – a Goblin Warband

I started painting a few goblins recently – they’re a nice counterpoint to the Chaos and Ogre forces I’ve been working on, being mainly lightly armoured small models. I painted a banner for the ladz in the 4th Edition Warhammer style: bright colours, bold iconography and plenty of checks! Having assembled the model, I gave […]

Gorak Foesmiter: A Khornate Ogre joins Vileclaw’s Warband

June has definitely been Ogre month. Hot on the heels of my recently finished Heroquest lunks, I’ve painted yet another 10-foot monstrosity, this time in the form of a reinforcement for Vileclaw’s Reavers, my Khorne-worshipping Realms of Chaos/Warcry warband. Mubo presented me with a Jes Goodwin Ogre recently, and I figured he had just enough […]

PAINTING THE HEROQUEST OGRE HORDE PART II: POWER BEHIND THE THRONE

Having realised how much of a pain it was magnetising the Heroquest Ogres for both 20mm dungeon and 40mm Warhammer bases, I decided to skip this part of the process with the remaining four Against the Ogre Horde warriors. However, I still intended to do a fair bit of tweaking to make the models more […]

Painting The Heroquest Ogre Horde

I’m almost finished work on the Heroquest box set, with just a few bits of furniture to go. However, new-old-thing excitement got the better of me recently, and I’ve brashly made a start on the Against the Ogre Horde expansion. The set I picked up was missing the head from the Ogre Champion, and had […]

Painting Vileclaw’s Reavers: Oldhammer Warcry Warband

Ever since the heady days of the original Realms of Chaos hardbacks, I’ve wanted a Chaos Warband to call my own. I was discussing this with Mubo and a few other Oldhammering buddies and we decided that it’d be fun to do a group project, creating warbands that could be used both for RoC-style gameplay […]

Painting the Wasteland Blazers – Gaslands Team

For my last project of the year, a (literal) change of pace. I’ve always fancied painting up some toy cars in the style of GW’s Dark Future, but the rules to that game just didn’t appeal to me. However, I recently picked up the Gaslands Refuelled rulebook, and this sparked my enthusiasm enough to get […]

Painting the Frost Thorne Defenders

Painting has been quite slow and infrequent of late, but I recently managed to finish off a fairly major project: a team of Jes Goodwin Elves to use as my Frost Thorne Defenders Wood Elf team at the NAF World Cup in Doenbirn. As is so often the case the looming deadline of a tournament […]

Dragon Rampant Revisited

Mark and I dusted off the Dragon Rampant rulebook last weekend- and pitted my newly (ish) painted forest goblins against the doughty dwarfs. I originally put together my forest goblin force with Dragon rampant in mind, but the couple of games I played I didn’t really enjoy that much, as I noted here. We played […]
