Hobby: Order of Purest Sun


We've been dabbling for a little while now with Dragons Rampant, which is an excellent ruleset from Osprey Publishing.  Its a generic fantasy toolkit, and I often see the Warhammer Fantasy armies of yore fielded once again under its rules. Its very balanced and still quite flexible with a selection of fantastical abilities and attributes to add onto a list of core unit profiles to tailor units to meet your ideas. 

Being as I loved the old world of Warhammer Fantasy, and that I felt that many of the Fantasy miniatures I had are more modern and would fit better into my ideas for Age of Sigmar. I picked up some more old school hand sculpted human fantasy figures from some third party sites. The primary one being EOE ORBIS  aka. Blacktree Miniatures.  

My intention is for these brave men at arms to stand sentinel against my Warriors of Chaos army, that I inherited from Chris some time ago now, and which is comprised nearly entirely of early plastic warriors from 5th Edition WFB.

Hobby: Knights of the Feast



I've decided to work on some Chaos Warriors, partially to use in my Age of Sigmar setting "Synn", and to act as the Elite Foot in a Dragons Rampant setting that's been cooked up by my buddy Chris from Sippin' on Paint Water fame. 




The unit in its glory. I used a combination of the standard Warriors of Chaos Kit, with pieces from the Frostgrave Cultist box and a small selection of pouches and skulls from Mantic's skeleton infantry. The unit standard is the backpack banner from the Mk4 Space Marines.


Any good monstrous killer knight worth their salt needs to have the latest in flesh cape fashion.

Hobby: DnD Dragonborn

A few weeks back my friend Chris, of Sippin' on Paint Water fame, and now Lord and Commander of the blogs Gloria in Morte and Upon the Muster Field, were browsing around the LGS and he challenged me to a friendly painting competition of some of the pre-primed D&D miniatures. Here are the results!



First up is my rusty dragon knight, very fashionable in this seasons shade of green cloak














And Next up is Chris' gleaming cold-blooded paragon of faith and fury. Hefting a lovely political statement about how he feels with regards to endangered species as a shield.







Thanks for Reading!
