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 […]

Painting House Grunndorn – Dwarf Longbeards and Flame Cannon

The next batch of my Dwarf army for BOYL 2018 is finished! This time around House Grunndorn has contributed two units to the war effort: a regiment of surly but stalwart Longbeards, and a deadly Flame Cannon! I remember first seeing the Longbeard models in Paul Robbin’s amazing Golden Demon winning Dwarf army from 1992, […]

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 […]

Painting the Unforgiven – Undead Skeleton Warriors

I’ve just finished the first unit of an army I’ve wanted to do for aaaaages…the shambling horror that is the Undead! I started off with some skeletons (of 80s Skeleton Horde fame) that I picked up fairly reasonably on eBay. Here they are in the box on the day they arrived – what a jolly […]

Painting the Ternwold II Halberdiers

I quite enjoy the Empire background in WFB; it seems much richer than many of the other races. I decided to base my army in Stirland, mainly because I decided on the green and yellow colour scheme first! Something I really wanted to get across with my army is the quite clear divide between the […]
