2024 Hobby Log

So I recently played in a campaign for Warcry and won a Dark Oath box set for my troubles. Whilst I love Warcry, I don’y like AoS, so everything is going onto square bases ‘like nature intended’ as  a great man once said. I dusted off an unpainted Krakadrak and started paimting. Observant hobbiests will notice some mutant steeds from Gorka Morka (coming soon) behind the maurauder cav.

So following on from last warband I finished up the Gorechosen of Dromm. I love the colour scheme here as it has almost an ‘Aztec’ vibe to it.

So I haven’t played AoS for 3 editions and I doubt I will for 3 more yet, so these Chaos maurarders have been square based for Old World (or KoW, Saga Age of Magic, Mordheiem, etc).

And up next are the Gorechosen of Dromm! (which will also be Squarebased).

Why does it take the same amount of time to paint 26 ASOIAF minis as it does to paint 5 GW minis?

Anyway, I like the look of these ‘Conan-esk’ ‘Brands Oathbound’ so I painted them up.

So I continued down my heretical path of ASOIAF on square bases so that I can use them in Old World. Unfortunately the round bases they come on are bigger than standard GW rounds so rebasing was the simplist option to be able to use them in multiple hames. In fact in a fortnight’s time they will be part of as SAGA Age of Magic game themed around ASOIAF. Wish me luck

In October we return to Space Hulk. We are digging out old White Dwarf rules for Marine vs Marine combat. The rules have options for Terminators and standard marines so I’ve decided to go with Heresy era Death Guard. On the down side, these miniatues are VERY detailed. On the up side, the filth of the Death Guard means I don’t need to be as tidy as usual with the paint job. In total there will be 20 Death Guard to back up the 13 Terminators I painted a couple of years back.

So one of the guys at the club wanted to give Warmaster Revolutions a go. I’ve always loved the game and so joined my neighbour Jim as we commanded our Dawi Throng against the degenerates of Chaos. Our Dwarfs struggled to withstand the Chaos knights but by systematically destroying his weaker units, managed to break the Chaos hordes. Dawi for the win!

Besides Mordheim and shoot-outs in Mos Eisley, there were also fighting in 17th century Japan. We are enjoying Test of Honour more every game and eagerly await Saga, Age of Samurai.
