Nick's Hobby Bloggy

Further updates on the pegasus knights! I spent a good portion of the day grinding on these guys and thankfully they are nearly done. Once the pumice on their bases dries overnight, I'll finish basing them with some Woodland Scenics Earth Undercoat, some drybrushing, and static grass. I can't wait to finally play my Great Kingdoms!

It's been a few busy days here, but here's a hobby update! So far, I've been grinding the warlord, lieutenant, paladins, hearthguard, and creatures from my Great Kingdoms (Age of Magic) warband. I started by combining parts from Mirliton Miniatures (riders and steeds) with wings from some Ral Partha pegasi. It took a bit of effort to get everything drilled, sanded, and glued, but I think it will be well worth it!

And...done! I'm glad these guys are finally ground out, 24 minis at once is no joke. Now, I've got 6 pts painted, effectively all of the infantry for my planned warband!

We're nearly there! 24 minis simultaneously is certainly punishing, but when they're all done at the same time, the effect is enormous. Tomorrow I'll finish adding pumice to the bases, use some earth tone wash on the base, add static grass, then seal with Testor's Dullcote.

Tonight, I finished the base coat for all 24 crossbowmen and got them inked. While they dry overnight, I'll dream of how to use them to the greatest tactical effect!

Just a brief update tonight on my crossbowmen slog. Tonight I got the leather done for all 24 minis, tomorrow I hope to finish the wood for 12, then the bow strings. After that, they'll all get an ink wash, followed by re-highlighting and further inking. Progress!

Welcome back to another rousing game of SAGA Age of Magic. Tonight, I once again played myself using my Undead Legion and Lords of the Wild warbands. I'd been hankering to try the legendary Undead warband, The Royal Dynasty of Nephren-Ka,  and take those characterful dynastic chariots for a spin. I wasn't sure how well they'd play, especially since I've never used cavalry with composite bows before, but how bad could it be? I created two warbands of six points, as listed below: THE UNDEAD LEGION  6 pts  (The Royal Dynasty of Nephren-Ka)
