Kings of War Armada: Patrol Captain Ben R. Over's Basilians

 

Part of my 2nd Armada Fleet, while I do have a few more painted since I finished these 2 I have yet to take some pictures (I blame the nasty people that drag me to the pub after work, for shame on them).

Kings of War Armada: Morguts Orc Flotilla

 

Afternoon boys and girls..

So every now and again I get a message via one of the many forums/groups/blogs ect asking if I'm still alive or stopped hobbying.

The answer is yes but I tend to just stick with Facebook now for my hobby needs as its just so much easier then Blogging these days and hits a much larger group of people.

Though to prove I'm not dead yet here's my latest project.. Morguts Orc Flotilla.

Oldhammer meets Kings of War - Twilight Kin Pt.3

Welcome deviants of the Lead Realm to your favourite Den of Vice and Dice.

It's been a few weeks since my last Blog post and that's just due to the weather getting and I use the scientific term here ''Fecking Cold'' and my hands not wanting to do what they'll told.

But I have managed to get a couple of games of 40k in with my Traitor Guard and painted a few more bits for my Twilight Kin.

I don't know about you feckers but I enjoy a Army shot when people are doing WIP Blogs just to show you how things are coming along so today's post is just that.

Oldhammer meets Kings of War - Twilight Kin Pt.2

Welcome boys and girls to the Den of Vice and Dice. mind your footing  though as someone forgot to put away the whips and chains.

So despite my Mother and Aunt being up from Devon taking up alot of my free time I've still managed a small amount of hobby time and most of it with the Dark Elves.

Oldhammer meets Kings of War - Twilight Kin Pt.1

Well what do we have here then?

A merging of interests I guess, as you may well know I love both WhFB3 era Dark Elves and Kings of War.

So why not combine them?

Now in KoW Evil Elves are known as Twilight Kin and in current lore (Subject to change at somepoint) are aligned with the Abyss.

So Demons and Evil Elves, whats not too love?

Now I already had some Dark Elves painted from a few years ago in a 2 tone paint scheme that I liked at the time but my paintings improved from then so needed repainting.

Ral Partha Ghost Dragon

Just a quick post,

But well it seems that I've got my painting habit back and managed to get a few hours painting over the last few days.

As you remember I happen to win a Ral Partha Ghost Dragon (More info HERE) and since my KoW Varangur army likes to bind monsters dead or alive to their forces it would seem rude not to include it eh?

He's a big beastie as you can see with a Hasslefree figure for scale.

Painting was interesting as I've never painted a Ghost/Ethereal before so kinda winged it  but here's what I did:

Black Undercoat

Army Painter Hydra Turquoise

Drybrush VGC White Primer

2-3 coats of super thinned down Hydra Turquoise  

Would I change anything if I painted it again, Hmmm I'd maybe start with a White Undercoat (Never ever have a used a White undercoat though so maybe not).

Well thanks for looking and now I'm off to work! 

Ugh!

Ral Partha Zombie Dragon

Painting time is once again happening, but nowhere near the time I had before.

Yesterday night I had a spare 2 hours and a pre-based and sprayed Zombie Dragon waiting for some love to join my Kings of War Varangur force.

I didn't want to go for the classic rotten look as I wanted it to retain it's colour from life, in this case a red fire Dragon.

Kings of War: Uncharted Empires

Well we all know I love a good game of KoW, just like a few of you lovely readers.

As you can read HERE & HERE

Now this makes me very, very excited.. alittle bit of sex wee may have indeed just ran down my leg, or at least it did when I pre-ordered my copy.
