Blog Subject:	Board Games - Mantic Dwarf King's Hold
So assembling Dwarf King's Hold is part of my Q2 Hobby Challenge Just finished the 10 Revenants (Armoured Skeletons) for the game as well. There's also a Pit of Souls (used in the game) and a Pile of Bones (you get counters for these, but if you had enough Mantic skellies, as I do with a 1k army, you could use "actual" piles), and a Skeleton Rat (used in Kings of War). 6 of the models on the sprue are sculpted Revenants, the other 4 are Skeleton Torsos with blinged up heads and armour pieces to be stuck on (which works fine IMO). They were nice models to put together: - mould lines have been run... [ Continued ] Tags: Board Games • Dwarf King's Hold • Modelling & Painting

Blog Subject:	Board Games - Mantic Dwarf King's Hold
So assembling Dwarf King's Hold is part of my Q2 Hobby Challenge Managed to get the Dwarfs (5 warriors, 2 shieldbreakers, mastiff* and dead dwarf objective) done tonight, as well as basing the two Bloodletters for the challenge. *Who seems to be eating table in the pic The models are nicer nicer than the old GW 1-piece Dwarfs, but a few years behind the detail of the current GW range. However, I do quite like the models, plus the relative price means I definitely feel I get what I pay for. GW...

Blog Subject:	Events: Salute 2011
Whilst I'm at Salute, thought I may as well use my discount from buying Dwarf King's Hold to pick up some Mantic Undead Revenant Cavalry and Dwarf Shieldbreakers, so I ordered them for pick-up. ... [ Continued ] Tags: Kings Of War • Events

Blog Subject:	Battle Report: Chaos Fleet vs Imperial Fleet (850)
So last night Red Devil and I played BFG, his first game, my third, but I haven't played for 12 years! I played Chaos: Styx Class Heavy Cruiser - Ld9 Hades Class Heavy Cruiser - Ld6 Carnage (1) Class Cruiser - Ld 7 Carnage (2) Class Cruiser - Ld8 Phil played Imperial: Mars Class Battlecruiser - Ld8 Dictator Class Cruiser - Ld7 Lunar (1) Class Cruiser - Ld6 Lunar (2) Class Cruiser - Ld8 We played the basic Cruiser Clash (ignoring the upper points limit per model). We got lots of rules wrong, having both only skim-read them, but we had fun. This is just a brief overview of what happened as I didn't take detailed notes because it takes time to play a game you barely know Apologies for the picture quality as we were pushed for time.
