So we’re in the middle of the longest sustained heatwave in about a century here in Ireland. As a result I haven’t managed to do much in the way of hobby as I’ve been busy enjoying the sunshine with the family. Damn you real life! But I have managed to do a little. For Father’s … More Heatwave
So real life, as it has a way of doing, interfered with my hobby time over the last few weeks. All I’ve managed to do is tidy my painting desk and organise my painting queue. Like a lot of hobbyists I know, I suffer from distraction bias when it comes to painting. I’ll start a … More A quiet week
Another week, another rake of releases from GW for Age of Sigmar. The new book, Quest for Ghal Maraz is the big one this week, advancing the story line and opening up some of the new Realms. What I’m more interested in though is the pre orders, specifically this guy, the Exalted Deathbringer. I don’t usually … More Week 6 of AoS
Hard to believe that it has been 5 weeks already since GW released Age of Sigmar. In the last four weeks the Stormcast Eternals have been fleshed out, except for the Protectors which are the ones I’d most like to get my hands on and paint up but I guess I’ll have to wait. This … More Week 5 of Age of Sigmar Releases
My third game of Age of Sigmar was a bloody affair, full of moments of heroism and valour. It’s a shame that I forgot to take pictures I was having so much fun! This was a 50 wound a side battle with my Bretonnians against the foul evil of Mannfred van Carsteins’s undead. On the … More The Return of the King
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
