Still, four to go before I've completed my core, and I'm pretty sure after that I'll be fine with them, as I can paint them up in dribs and drabs.Blaxklerichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06986635840718583767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1308328551615343287.post-76444997279092572602018-02-01T10:28:09.430-08:002018-02-01T10:28:09.430-08:00The latest Boromite is another great addition to t...The latest Boromite is another great addition to the gang; they are probably my favourite of the races I have seen for GoA. :)pulpcitizenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10827978428130531133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1308328551615343287.post-84659450323273800142018-02-01T07:52:54.174-08:002018-02-01T07:52:54.174-08:00Splendid, I shall see what I can do then :-)Splendid, I shall see what I can do then :-)Blaxklerichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06986635840718583767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1308328551615343287.post-22310308594523830892018-01-31T15:30:46.648-08:002018-01-31T15:30:46.648-08:00I think that would be an excellent idea :-)I think that would be an excellent idea :-)The Wargame Addicthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15654413349305659155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1308328551615343287.post-87509736062846702862018-01-30T14:10:38.443-08:002018-01-30T14:10:38.443-08:00Cheers Undercoat.

"Kings Of WaR" could be huge for me this year, as I'm really enjoying the fluff and the mini count isn't too bad either. For example, my Undead force will initially only contain 24 models - which is very similar to an "Age Of Sigmar" force to be honest.Blaxklerichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06986635840718583767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1308328551615343287.post-74477704724476481882018-01-30T12:18:48.590-08:002018-01-30T12:18:48.590-08:00Another great post.

I think these are great sculpts and really like the Antares universe. The wight is another nice wip. The ghostly effect is coming on nicely and looks really good, so again another model I look forward to seeing finished enormously. I do like the look of Kings of War, but the regiments required to be painted do make me pause I have to say. Another great read, keep it up Sir.Undercoathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01637716405557886404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1308328551615343287.post-35981997079170833832018-01-30T08:53:28.547-08:002018-01-30T08:53:28.547-08:00Hmmm...

I've had my eye on "Kings Of War" ever since I saw the dwarves riding badgers as cavalry at "Salute" a few years ago - a personal fave. And their Undead miniatures are widely regarded as some of the very best out there - which I'm hoping to showcase over the next few months :-)Blaxklerichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06986635840718583767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1308328551615343287.post-60562208954797872782018-01-29T06:26:33.563-08:002018-01-29T06:26:33.563-08:00Cheers Jez.

He looks quite repulsive in a cool way. <br /><br />I was rather surprised to see you decide on "Kings of War" to play some mass battles and not whatever the latest "Warhammer" version is. Good man! And my respect for you went up even further when you opted for an undead army. Suffice to say, that would have been my number one choice.
