So the leaked photos of the long rumoured Horus Heresy plastics have hit the web over the last day. These have been rumoured since earlier this year, the most consistent rumour being that they are part of a “30k” starter set that will be released possibly in Sept/Oct. But do these models signify a shift … More Horus Heresy Plastics
Work continues on the Knights Errant. Today I’ve mostly been focused on finishing off the heraldry colours and the leather saddles and tack. Happy with how they’re coming together I’ve cheated slightly using an off white bone instead of pure white in most of the heraldry for the army as I can’t paint white … More Today’s Painting Progress
I’ve been getting some paint on my Bretonnians, riding the wave of Age of Sigmar inspiration and I had forgotten how much fun they are to paint. I really enjoy the challenge of painting all different types of heraldry but also keeping the colour palette tied together so that the army has a cohesive look … More Some Work In Progress
My first two games of Age of Sigmar were everything I had hoped they would be. Fast, furious and fun, the game plays very well. The simplicity of the rules is one of the biggest pluses of the new system. It no longer takes five minutes flicking through the rulebook or army book to find … More Back in the Saddle
I’m looking forward to my first game of Age of Sigmar tonight. I’ll blog about it later but for now going to take 50 wounds worth of Bretonnians against Sigmarites.
GW have released a new app on iOS for Age of Sigmar. It includes all of the rules and all of the free compendium warscrolls for the existing Warhammer armies. Other new warscrolls can be unlocked as you buy digital editions of the new AoS books. The app also includes a handy ‘My Battle’ feature … More Age of Sigmar App
My take on the new Eternals. This is the free one from White Dwarf. Got to say, a nice model to paint. I know people say they’re like Space Marines but scalewise they’re closer to the Terminators than regular Marines. Forgive the picture quality. I tend not to adhere too close to the GW … More Stormcast Eternal
What motivates me to get a project up and running? Usually nothing more than most other nerds, new shiny toys. This month something else has caught me though. Nostalgia. I’ve been spending time stripping old models and repainting them. Now that Age of Sigmar has landed and the warscrolls for the old Warhammer armies are … More Motivation
Age of Sigmar. Rage of Sigmar more like. There has been a lot of negativity out there over Games Workshop’s decision to kill off the Warhammer World and replace it with a completly new background and system. I’m not going to link to any of those rage quitter posts (they’ve had their moment and frankly … More Age of Sigmar and the rebirth of a hobby
Welcome to 6’s to Hit, my attempt at a semi-regular blog on my hobby activities. I hope to build this up over time to include articles on painting, game reports, reviews, background and opinions on all things hobby related. Firstly though I’d like to make it clear that the opinions expressed here are my own … More First Principles
