Last Clerical Heroes

Unfortunately, my order comprising 7 boxes of Perry Miniatures that I placed on 15th April hasn't been shipped yet. In the meantime, I painted the last two Heroes for my Brotherhood army - a Devoted on Foot and a Devoted/Exemplar Adjutant on Horse.

It's really cruel having to wait for your models so long, especially when you're full of drive to commence with your first Kings of War project. Also, I won't be able to play my very first match any time soon.

Maiden of Virtue

Hello folks!

Today I present to you the Maiden of Virtue for my Brotherhood army. The list entry for her is the Forsaken Beast which represents her quite fittingly I think.

The model is from Reaper Miniatures. Great stuff they're producing and really to the liking of my purse.

Casualty Counters & Fences

Hello there,

This week my parcel from war-bases.co.uk arrived, containing some casualty counters.

With these brilliant little things you can keep track of  how many wounds your units have suffered so far (or use them as turn counters etc.).

For me they are predestinated for my Kings of War matches to come.Thus we can avoid placing dice next to the regiments which can easily be flipped over or be mistaken for regular dice to roll.

All I did was glueing Green Stuff molds of skull bases on top of them, adding some bird sand with PVA glue and paint them up. Some Iceland moss and tufts of grass gave them their final touch.

Also, I took up painting some new terrain for my future gaming board as I don't have any fantasy-related pieces.

The first parts to be finished were three fences as they represent nice obstacles for hindered charges and line of sight blockers. Using some coffee chopsticks from McD and sprue leftovers, they were cheap and easy to do, too.

Secular Command

Hello fellow hobby enthusiasts,

The next three models for my Kings of War Brotherhood army got finished this afternoon.

I'll be using them as various mounted Heroes. The one on the left will get a banner attached to his lance, hence I'm going to field him as my Exemplar Adjutant on bardes Horse (an army standard bearer).

To bridge the time until my boxes of plastic miniatures have arrived I'll paint up the other two clerics I showed to you in the previous post.

Clerical Command for my Brotherhood

Hello,

Today I had lots of fun painting some miniatures for my own use for diversion.

I chose a priest on foot and one on a donkey to be the first miniatures getting painted for my Kings of War Brotherhood army.

I'll be using them as a Devoted on "Horse" and a Devoted on foot.

The box they belong to contains two more clerical models, an arch bishop and a mounted abbot holding a large cross:

I guess they'll be put to good use, too. Three mounted Heroes will be up next.

Back from the depths

Hello ladies and gentlemen,

It has been a very long time - too long for my taste. But I haven't been idle all this time.

In September 2014 I started an education to become an IT officer after I realized that studying at the university to become a teacher is the wrong way to go for me.

I'm half way through with my above mentioned education and of course I have been assembling and painting tabletop minis all this time. Alas, not for me but for my long time commissioner.

I'm still currently working on Space Orcs for him which should be finished by the end of 2016.

But I haven't played a single 40k game for more than 2 years now. And I will never be returning to 40k. I will set up my Iron Warriors force for auction in one or two months. So if you're interested in a large and fully painted/converted Iron Warriors Heresy force, hit me up.

One week ago my former flat mates came to visit me and we spent the afternoon and evening painting and were chatting about old times. Then they came up with Kings of War. I had heard of it before but gave it no further attention. Another mate of mine, who is the Game Master in our Dungeons & Dragons group, is a mad collector of everything and I asked him all about it as he first came up with it in our circle of friends.

After reading the rules and the fluff and getting to know about the fact that you can use diorama regiment bases and don't have to take away minis for damage inflicted I fell in love with the system.

So I came up with the idea of a 15th century medieval human army and my friend suggested Perry Miniatures' Wars of the Roses range. Bingo! 36-42 minis per box for 18 to 21 EUR? Amazing, count me in! I'm already gathering basing material, lasercut MDF bases and lots of ideas.

So now you know what you can expect to see here in the near future. My mind's full of ideas that want to be realized.

All I have to do now is wait for my salary for painting Orcs. ;)

See you soon!
