In the name of the Hegemon

This year I came from Corvus Belli's Interplanetario with a bag full of Warcrow loot. Most of it was what I was missing to complete my Hegemony of Embersig force. Sadly I could not find the Black Legion officers but most of the other wants ended up in the basket. Arquebussiers were one of the miniature sets I was most looking forward to paint. Those pavise shields would look great with my reflective metal color scheme. It was a lot of fun to paint the trees and the flower fields on them. For the rest of the colors I followed my Bucklermen recipe wit…

Then the winged hussars arrived!

I've been trying to keep up with my Warcrow project during this summer. I still have some units from the Hegemony of Embersig pending a coat of paint but as I had a coupon for my local store from a recent tournament I decided to take the plunge and buy the absurdly expensive Black Angels cavalry for my Hegemonians.   While I was painting them I had a sudden realization.

Holding the line

The second wave of acquisitios for my Warcrow Hegemony force included the Beyond Winds of the North box, which added the dwarves to the Hegemony lineup and two of my favorite units in the game as a whole: the Bulwarks and the Aggressors. These are some of the most badass miniatures of the Warcrow range in my opinion, they are obviously reminiscent of the Empire swordsmen from the old Warhammer Fantasy, but the quality of the sculpts is miles away. For the areas of the vest, I decided to go for the same colors of my human nobility Blood Bowl team, with s…

A War of crows and mist

Recently I have taken an interest in Warcrow, Corvus Belli's most recent fantasy wargame. I received a box of the base game for a promo on my Youtube channel and was planning it to be just a fun painting project and nothing more.  Once I got my hands on the game though, it surprised me with it's tactical depth and ease of play so I decided to dip my toe deeper and get me a full fledged Hegemony of Embersig force to be able to play 250 points and maybe do some battle reports. For the color scheme I wanted my force to resemble spanish conquistad…
