Spring of War tourney report

With the latest CoK addition to Kings of War, a lot of new playstyles have opened up for all armies. Lots of underused units were buffed, and conditional inspiring becoming normal inspiring also helped a lot in opening up new builds. I have been trying to make my Norscan, almost all infantry-based army work for […]

Masks of War tourney report

After a year of very little gaming, the local group organised a Corona-friendly tournament with mandated masks. I jumped on the opportunity for some socialising. I have been trying to make a very infantry heavy Norscan army work, both in 2nd and 3rd edition, but the play-style of big blocks of slow infantry really doesn’t […]

Norscan Chosen

My name? Long ago such worthless details fell from memory. I know only the lust for glorious battle – for blood, for victory! I seek only the Eye of Khorne – his favour, his grace, his Dark Gifts – that through them, I may be remade – reborn! Why do we raid your lands? Why […]

Norscan Knights

“They know how to fight. That’s what you have to remember about them. People talk about the strength of their armour, or the ferocity of the Blood God’s worshippers, or the intimidating look of their horns and spikes. It’s their sheer skill at war that wins them their battles though.” —Captain Schultz, Mercenary Commander Breeding […]

Good Orlaf and Bad Orlaf

With the new teleport spell, some infantry heroes have finally gotten a new lease on life. Orlaf the barbarian is certainly one of them. Where he used to be an extremely niche choice before, with teleport support, he can get where he needs to be in turn 1 and be ready to rock behind enemy […]

Norscan Reavers

Anyone the Norscans don´t kill in their raids are captured, destined for one of three fates. Many are sacrificed to their dark Gods in horrible ways. At least death is quick for those souls. Others are sent to the slave markets of Norsca, to toil as a slave for the rest of their miserable lives. […]

Multibase May-hem

Bases are really something that can push miniatures to a much higher level. If you are an average painter, you should really look into doing more than minimum with your base, and you will quickly see how much better your armies look. For Kings of War in particular, which operates with multibases, it is really […]

Norscan Chaos Dwarf Hellcannon

Amongst the Northmen, there are often a few Dawi-Zharr – fire dwarves. Although few in number, the inclusion of even a few of these mercenaries are a bad sign, as they are masters of creating vile and hideous war-machines. Their war engines are no mere machinery, but are instead horrible amalgations of flesh and metal, […]

Norscan Warhounds and Skald

“In Norsca, wolves and hounds prowl in the flickering shadows of the campfires made by the barbarian tribespeople of the frozen lands. The further north the tribe dwells, the more likely it is that the hounds that follow them will be mutants, their bodies swollen by the energies of Chaos. Brutish and bloodthirsty, the Warhounds […]

Norscan Magus Conclaves

There is only one thing that is worse than the Norscan raiders.. The enemy within. Amongst the highest and lowest ranks in our society they hide. Scheming, plotting, and consorting with the dark powers. For what? For greed, the hunger for more power, money, women or simply food. Out of spite, envy or hate for […]
