Building the White Dwarf 137 Warhammer Fantasy Townhouse

One of my very earliest posts on this blog covered building and painting the White Dwarf 130 Cottage, which was a lovely little project and provided a terrain piece that has seen action in virtually every game of Warhammer I’ve played since…clearly a hot property! I’ve always intended to revisit the Modelling Workshop series, and […]

Painting Vileclaw’s Reavers: Oldhammer Warcry Warband

Ever since the heady days of the original Realms of Chaos hardbacks, I’ve wanted a Chaos Warband to call my own. I was discussing this with Mubo and a few other Oldhammering buddies and we decided that it’d be fun to do a group project, creating warbands that could be used both for RoC-style gameplay […]

Painting the Frost Thorne Defenders

Painting has been quite slow and infrequent of late, but I recently managed to finish off a fairly major project: a team of Jes Goodwin Elves to use as my Frost Thorne Defenders Wood Elf team at the NAF World Cup in Doenbirn. As is so often the case the looming deadline of a tournament […]

Painting House Brannthior – Dwarf Spearmen and Cannon

In preparation for my first ever game of Warhammer at the White Eagle Gaming Club, I’ve finished off another house’s worth of troops for my Dwarf throng…the flamboyant spearmen and gunners of House Brannthior. The spearmen were a group of models that I remembered fondly (like the Longbeards) from Paul Robins’ Golden Demon winning army, […]

Progress on the forces of Ternwold

So, a bit of an update on the progress of my Empire force. It’s almost 1000 points now, and should be ready for our campaign we have planned for BOYL. As I mentioned in the last post, I’d like to create a sharp divide between the liveried troops of the local liege lord, and the […]

Into the Darkness – Painting the Heroquest Box Set (Part 1)

I’ve recently been working on painting up the contents of the classic Heroquest boxed game. I actually never owned the original game in my youth, and began my painting and playing days with Advanced Heroquest instead…but more on that another day. The first job was to take the models off the built-in plastic stands that […]

Custom Deathroller – A New Lease of Life for an Old Dwarf

I’m a long-time Blood Bowl player, and also really enjoy converting and scratch-building players to make them fit my idea of what the game is all about. This week, I set to work on a project for a friend…building and painting a Deathroller for their Dwarf team. For those that may not know, the Deathroller […]

Building the White Dwarf 130 Warhammer Fantasy Cottage

I’ve always loved building terrain, and the White Dwarfs from the late 80s and early 90s had some superb articles that provided step-by-step guides on how to build some brilliantly simple but evocative pieces. In this Back from the Dead series I intend to work through a good chunk of these, as both a highly […]
