My First Fully Painted Fantasy Army

If you have been following this blog or know me well, then you also know that I have been mainly dabling in Sci-Fi miniatures of all sorts. But lately it seems that the Fantasy bug has bitten me. 

As mentioned previously I had been struggling to paint an Oldhammer Dwarf Army, but since we started playing Age of Sigmar I have actually been able to fully paint a gameable army. Only 1000 points so far, mind you, but I have plenty of models to expand my army.

The Classic Army Pose!

So far my army consist of the following characters and units:

Dwarf General

Runepriest

Engineer

Two units of 10 Warriors

One unit of 10 Quarrellers

A Cannon and a Giant

Medieval Squats Part II

A bit of a progress in my current quest to paint an Oldhammer themed Dwarf army for Age of Sigmar.

A bunch of my characters.

A unit of Pike Dwarfs.

2nd row.

Gamingwise I play the Pike Dwarfs as having 2 handed great weapons (or whatever it is called) and no shields. This is apparently a not so good choice for the Dwarf Warriors, but at least the unit looks good.

Artillery piece.

Combined forces.

I choose to play the army as Dispossessed and use their traits, even though some of my troops are considered allies, according to the rules. All the Dwarf units are just considered Dispossessed and thus benefit from the trade, while the Giant is treated as an ally and gets no bonus. 

So far, so good... Coming up next is Quarellers and some Dark Dwarf Warriors.

The Age of Sigmar Cometh!

So I guess it has been nearly a year since my last post. Again life just got in the way for some time, but hopefully I can bring back some action to this blog.

Today I met up with Dr. The Viking from Dr. The Viking's Miniature Games Hell. Apparently we got sucked into the Games Workshop vortex once again and now we are playing Age of Sigmar (YIKES!).

Dr. The Viking has been speedpainting a Chaos Horde (You can go to his blog to see the progress) and I have dug up my Oldhammer Dwarfs. 

I never got around to finish an actual Warhammer army and when we gamed Dragon Rampant I never managed to finsh an army for that either, so my army still consist of a lot of unfinished models among the few I have finished so far.

There is really not much more to say. We are just having some fun with miniatures.

Some unfinished Heartbreaker Dwarfs.

Grombrindal.

Khorne Warriors approaching.

A bit of cavalry.

The small and fat red line.

More action.

Age of Sigmar seems to be pretty easy on the rules side, while still having enough meat on the bones to give each unit their own flavour. So far I like it.

Medieval Squat Army Project (WIP)

OK, so I haven't been much active on the picture posting front lately and I have had a hard time keeping track on what is really going on on the internets.... 

But it doesn't mean I haven't been up to anything. I have been working on several miniature project, but I have also been working on a lot of stuff not related to this hobby and at the same time my computers have been failing me and I ended up deleting my Windows XP and I now run on Linux.

All in all the last couple of months have been pretty stressfull for me, but I still wanted to show some of the stuff I have been working on.

One project I have been working on for several years now (and getting nowhere with) is my Medieval Squat Army. At first I just wanted to buy a few models, paint those before buying more and so forth, but I ended up with a rather huge army and I quickly stalled when I found out that it was just too much and I didn't enjoy painting units in huge batches at a time. 

So I finally decided to just paint single models or only a few at the same time. So now I am actually getting somewhere with the project and I really enjoy painting these models.

Non of the miniatures are 100% finished yet, but on the picture below you are able to see a batch of the ones which are closest being to done.

Mix og old Citadel, Black Tree Design and White Knight miniatures.

Some other projects I have been working on, but don't have any pictures of at the moment, is: Female Corporation Dreadball team, Acheson Creations Sci-Fi Saurians, random Fantasy miniatures and painting a bit for a friend too. I hope to have more of all this to show soon.
