Elamites

So I finished painting my Elamite warband this morning. Again, as with the Abramites from my previous post, there is a lot of artistic license with these figures. The reason being that much of the reference images you may see online for Elamites or in Osprey books are a good few hundred years later than […]

This Isn’t My First Cheap Toy Soldier Rodeo… Part 2: Korban Grenadiers

So again from the old blog, something inspirational if you’re a bit strange like me… The Korban Grenadiers! Sometimes among the Korban ranks a soldier is both physically larger and stronger but also intellectually and tactically. These Korban are quickly drafted into elite units known as Grenadiers. The Sergeant of the unit carries a large […]

Slaves To Darkness Part 3

So I’ve started painting with a unit of chaos warriors. I’m so happy with how they’re coming out, I’m going for a rusty, grimy look with the chipped and peeling remnants of their armour’s paint on flatter surfaces or in deep crevices. My poor old drybrush was a casualty of this process, it is now […]

Slaves To Darkness Part 2

That’s my previously seen Slaves To Darkness army for Age of Sigmar primed and ready for painting. In the back you can see my Maulerfiend conversion, it’s a counts as warshrine/ maggoth rider/ mutalith vortex beast/ slaughterbrute or whatever I want that’s a similar size. The whole lots comes in at around 1000 points with […]

Do You Have a Flag?

In the interest of world building, and also because apparently I’m a bit of a flag nerd, I thought I’d put some flags together after I watched a TedTalk on Vexillology. Here’s the specific video, although I’ll be listing the main points below if you haven’t got twenty minutes. The main points of flag design […]

Slaves to Darkness

I didn’t do much on the plague tower this weekend as I was striving forward with the army to go with it. My basic warrior is based on a chaos space marine legs, torso and arms with a basic head and weapons swap and leaving the backpack off. My Chaos Sorcerer Lord is based on […]

Grid of Death – Battle Report

The Tribeship Torvax is home to the Bloodline Tribe of Solar Raiders, one of the largest among the SolRad fleets it harbours impressive hab-domes, rich, but artificial jungles fill the domes in order to create a self sustaining breathable atmosphere on the ship. A small invasion force of Vel scout the Torvax after infiltrating it […]

Paint Maketh The Man

The above the picture is taken from my old long dead blog… it was way back when I first discovered Poundland’s figure offering, they came in a bags of 100 and had that familiar bright orange and green cardboard packaging that read combat… er… something. At the time I was working on some rules for […]

Deathzap Fluff

So the we’re moving house. This has made hobbying difficult as I’m sure you can imagine, and gaming next to impossible, other than maybe getting out my portable stuff from time to time. I thought however rather than lamenting the lack of hobby I’d use this little break to write up my imagined universe for […]

Rice Fleets

Anyone really can afford this… I started by cutting tongue depressors into squares. I then went on to texture my wooden squares with bicarbonate of soda and super glue. At this point I got carried away. Glue a grain of rice to each base and paint accordingly. I used the smaller grains for destroyers, cruisers […]

Army Soldiers

Here’s today’s purchase despite protests from the wife of ‘Don’t you have enough army men?’ You’ve probably seen these Matchbox copies before on other blogs or in stores so I’m not breaking any new ground here, other than to say the marked price of £6 (a bit pricey I admit) once I had reached the […]

The Cosmic Warrior

So as I was skulking around the local discount shops and came across the following: Covered in stolen Transformers artwork and a clear rip-off off of a Gundam design, I felt this ‘Cosmic Warrior’ was useful for filling out the ranks of my Allegiance of Gnossos army for Deathzap. Painted up and battle damaged, I’m […]
