Testing out the pikes – battlereport

I’ve gotten a few games in with pike-centered infantry lists. Unfortunately, there have been practically no fliers or cavalry in the enemy army. On the positive side, if the pike list can do well against lists where phalanx is useless, then it will do really well once phalanx comes into play. My first list was […]

A new lease on infantry – pike edition

I’ve had pretty good success with my Varangur infantry heavy list recently. However, I also have a somewhat neglected human army with Empire, Kislev and Dogs of War minis from the 90s and 00s. In the most recent local tourney, there were quite a few lists with lots of points in heavy flyers, cavalry and […]

COK23 – new lease on infantry heavy lists?

I’ve been doing renovation work on my house for the last 1,5 years, so gaming has fallen to the wayside, and especially kings of war gaming has been very rare. However, I got a tournament coming up in january, and the newest clash of kings book finally seems to have delivered on infantry buffs, and […]

Urdeshi pattern AFVs

I’ve finally gotten around to painting up most of the IFV variants I converted up for my PDF and renegades. These tanks are made by a combination of Old Crow tanks and turrets, ramshackle games tracks, plasticard and various other bits. Still missing are the “allegiance” bits, which will be magnetized to allow them to […]

Super Heavy reinforcement

I just got a second hand Mortian super heavy tank. It was pretty badly smashed up, but with some TLC, it is now looking pretty good. It did not come with any sponsons, but I had some spares from some other Mortian tanks I’ve bought, so with some light conversion work, the big girl has […]

Battle for Vogen 09 – drop troopers

With the rebel vanguard delayed, the planetary defence forces managed to stabilise the front line in the 7th district. The prepared defensive position discouraged rebel attempts to push further into the city. There were still fighting raging elsewhere, with stranded PDF units further out being picked off, or rebels terrorising and infiltrating the central districts.

Taking on the pile of shame – batch painting 110 minis at once

I recently stumbled over the WGA the damned kickstarter, and with some recent ideas about trying out imperialis militia in horus heresy, I couldn’t hold back pledging for a 3 box set. With this additional 100+ minis coming in at some point, I looked at my box of primed renegade infantry and got motivated to […]

Battle for Vogen 08 – Rearguard

After pushing through the chaos of District 13, the remnants of Jeager and Captain Scheider’s men had managed to link up with other PDF forces. Now about regiment strength, they were suborned to a Major Steinvik, the highest ranking officer of the motley group. Communications with HQ had been somewhat reinstated, and the group had been designated as Battlegroup Steinvik, with orders to regroup and hold District 7.

5 leagues from the borderlands – 05

Last time, the Saints finished pacifying the area around Coldham, before riding north to Camp Whiteshield. There they raided the lair of the northern wolves, disrupting the plans of the Chaos warrior invaders to isolate Camp Whiteshield, and helping their friend, the Igor the rogue. In the wolf lair, they also found the Urn of […]

5 leagues from the borderlands – 04

Last time, our adventurers travelled to Camp Whitepoint, making new friends, before fighting off a group of bandits near Coldham. They uncovered that someone had put a price on their heads. Turn 10 While the Saints rested and waited for the local blacksmith to fix Kara’s armour, a scholar visited Coldham. Taking advantage of his […]
