Might of the Iron Circle

This month we just had the most awesome Legions Imperialis event here in Barcelona at the club Torre de Daus, and I decided to join the fray with my Iron Warriors. For this event I wanted to bring a list that was representative of the army so I had to spruce up my army a little bit. I had recently 3D printed some Iron Circle domitar that I pretended to use as Leviathans on our game. I also repainted Perturabo a bit as I wasn't 100% sattisfied with his stripes. I also had to paint a Mastodon to transport my Iron Circle Leviathans in style to the fron…

Thriving in the underworld

This summer I had the opportunity to check one of the items from my to-do list. Make a trip to Nottingham and visit Warhammer World. Among the many things I found there I got to treat myself to a discontinued Warhammer Underworlds Warband made of clan pestilens Skaven. Warhammer Underworlds warbands are always a treat to paint because while they share a theme, each model is an individual model with it's own style and charisma. For this warband I tried to use Speed Paints as I did for my Skaventide skaven, and try to get them to shine up using the gl…

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…

Peace and security for the galaxy

Keeping up with my Empire squad for Shatterpoint, this week I've been working on Director Krennic's squad and the Inferno Squad.  I love Krennic's character in the movies and his most recent appearance in Andor, and the model for shatterpoint really captures the look of Ben Mendelson on the role. The miniature is simple yet imposing and menacing. I love the fact that the pin-up for the card has a blaster in his hand, but the sculptors decided it was not necessary for him to be armed to transmit his aura of power.  This set of miniatures was …

A busy day in Traitor's Toll

One of my greatest finds this year was Guards of Traitor's Toll. A narrative miniatures game were you control a guard patrol on a busy city and you have to keep the peace in a city full of rogues, drunkards, misguided wizards and organized crime gangs. The game comes with several sprues that allows you to assemble two 6-man squads and 24 civilians with a potential for crime. The sprues are very complete and and offer a lot of options for customization, which is great as the game works in a WISIWYG premise and the various weapons your guard carries b…
