Hunt for the artifact post-tourney tactical ponderings

After 1 major loss, 1 minor win and 2 major wins, I ended up with 4th best general. I also won best painted for the first time in my life, which I was extremely happy with 🙂 I ended up 2nd overall after paint and sports scores. So with that result, I think my army […]

Hunt for the artifact – Game 2 vs Undead, Push

My second round opponent had an amazing “Greenskin undead” army, with ork skeletons and mummies, goblin ghouls and troll werewolves. There were so many awesome conversions in his army, and a great and original theme. He got a well deserved (and extremely close) second place in “Best army”. His list was approximately: Vampire Lord on […]

Hunt for the artifact – Game 1 vs Abyssal Dwarfs, Control

I was scheduled to play against Varangur for my first game, but my opponent couldn´t make it on time, so I got to face off against Abyssal Dwarfs instead.

Across most of Kislev, the boyars are the most powerful individuals. They are close enough and have enough followers to tell atamans what to do, and any higher authorities are a […]

Kossars Troop

Kossars never really caught my eye in the Kislev range, fading behind the awesomeness of the cavalry miniatures. As I got a bunch of them in a great auction win on eBay, and it is nice to have some infantry options for Kings of War, I made up a troop of them. After actually having […]

Kislev Urugan Cannons

Kislev is a land of long, freezing winters and short, harsh summers. Because of this unfriendly atmosphere, the use of gunpowder weapons has always been rather limited. The Urugan Cannon or “Alexandr’s Organ” as Kislevites call it, is a notable exception. The Urugan Cannon, named for the sharp, screeching sound that it makes when fired, […]

It is said that this fortress monastery was founded by Boris Ursa the Forever Tzar, and that the warriors who serve are descendants of his most noble knights. The temple of the bear God is built over labyrinthine enclosures […]
