About the Project

Ive long had desire to play Kings Of War. I dabbled years ago but then Conquest came along and i got distracted. Now i find i cant face building another large rank and flank army so Kings of Wars Champions poses an interesting option. Im going to dive in with the premise that everything is painted as quickly as possible. It’s a bank holiday weekend and the Northern Alliance box has arrived, let’s see how quickly I can get these done, shortcuts and Brainmatter Beige all the way!

  1. After @brennon reminded me that Krautcover existed I decided to have a little fun with the basing for these. I dug out an old pot of their booty basing mix and added to the bases. It does have incidental pieces in there like starfish, crabs etc so i picked them out with a dab of speedpaint and applied some dirty down to blend it all together. I also ripped the green bit of a kitchen sponge to use as seaweed. Bit basic but honestly I’d gone a bit of reservation by this point!

Now for Garomakaks wheels! I should note that originally I used and orange speedpaint but it seems to have lots of specks in it. Might be a bad bottle so i went over it with a Fanatic paint instead.Now for Garomakaks wheels! I should note that originally I used and orange speedpaint but it seems to have lots of specks in it.

To try and blend the two colours I drybrushed the join between the two after the beige layer with lava orange and monster brown!

After assembly and throwing in the driver I added to a tarted up base and he’s done!
