Recent quietness is simply that. Quiet. Work has been time consuming, as have a number of real life activities. While I've been working on projects, there isn't anything finished to share yet. But in the spirit of posting something so I don't forget ... I've started a dwarf army for Kings of War. The system appealed to me for a few reasons: I had a hankering for a rank and file army, and with no Warhammer Fantasy system available at the moment, this came to the fore. The rule set is well regarded for pick up and play - it's one rulebook for everything. The units' damage isn't measured by removing models, so every unit can be its own diorama! How exciting. Last point is worth reiterating again. Every unit can be a fun story. This is the progress to-date of the unit bases (and spares) and the scenic bases they'll all sit on when not in play. It's going to be a ruined dwarf town. Here's my work in progress in reverse order and you may wish to scroll
Well, they won't win beauty competitions any time soon but I really like these models. Another project that's been sat on the desk for months in a state of half-completion, and it was nice to see them finished. It's a slimmed down version of how I approached the Ogryn from my Golden Demon entry last year, and a much more tabletop level as a result - but it was fun.
