Painting and Hobby Update: The Last post Before Christmas

 Hello everyone. Sorry there was not post last week this is due to ongoing building works that have not run the smoothest unfortunately.

With building work still going on this week I managed to get some time and started to think about projects for over the Christmas period and next year.

Age OF Sigmar: Storm Strike Starter Set

So I was on Ebay (as you do) and saw this box for Age of Sigmar Storm strike. It's one of the starter sets for Age Of Sigmar.
 One thing Games Workshop has done over the past couple of years is to produce 3 differnt starter sets at 3 differnt price points for both AOS and Warhammer 40k so you don't have to invest loads on money into a huge ox set to try the game.


This box set is priced around £25 and for what you get inside its great (as you will see) the main reason I bought this was for the Nighthaunt miniatures as I want them for a warband in War Cry, I already have some chainrasps from my Shadespire set so adding these would get me a warband.

So lets take a look inside.

Age Of Sigmar Heard Stone and Update on Raptoryx Paint Scheme

The last few weeks have been quite on the hobby front due to life stuff but before all that I got to work and finished one of the new AOS terrain pieces called the Heardstone . 
This is for the new Beastman for AOS even though I don't play AOS  A) I though it looked cool to paint and B) I thought it would work well a terrain pice for War Cry maybe for the Untamed Beasts.

Terrain Build: Floating Rocks

This week there was no Path To Glory so I thought I would show you how i made the floating rocks from our last game.

 The idea for the last scenario as that would be floating rocks and the warbands would be fighting on and jumping around on them.
Nothing says fantasy like fighting on flying rocks right.

Unfortunately Riot did not have the time to make these before the game so I volunteered to make them for the campaign as I never turn down an opportunity to make some terrain.

You can see the battle report they were used in here.

So I started by using some old Kingspan foam and a CD for an idea for the size of each rock.

Review Art Of War: Nightvault/Shadespire Tokens


As many of you know who frequently visit my blog I have been enjoying playing Shadespire and I am  currently working my way through painting all the warbands.
One thing that I have notice playing is that all the tokens are all the same and sometimes you can get mixed up who's tokens are who's and theres not much individuality.

Well Art of War Studios may have the solution for you with their Shadespire/Nightvault compatible tokens.

Art of War Studios aim to design practical and beautiful tokens to make games easer. They believe in speeding up your gaming and make your gaming table look great.

Art of War Studios were kind enough to send me their Shadespire/Nightvault token set.
Lets take a look..

A Night In The City Of Shadespire

Friday night I took a visit to Riotville and had a few games of Shasdespire with Riot and Lee.
I packed my warbands and headed over for a throw down.

I decided to have a go with my Chosen Axes as I have recently painted them which you can view here and had a go at creating a deck for the first time.

As the Axes get inspired by being on a objective after a round I made sure to include some objective cards that get me glory just sitting on them.
So the plan was to sit back get inspired and charge in.... Lets see how it went.

Returning To The City Of Shadespire

Yep I got a few games of Shadespire!
Riot of Riotville fame invited me over along with Lee to have a scrap in the cursed city of Shadespire.

Riot suggested that I use his beautiful painted Liberators and his new super I will not make friends deck.

Riots nice Liberators I used for the day.

Gamemat.EU Highlands In War Game Mat Review


Over the past few months my collection of Gaming mats has been growing. I recently got a 4x4 mat as part of my Ebay mega deal for Shadow War games  which is called TriCity and I have been using another 4x4 called Arctic Mat.

TriCity Mat

Links to the games where both mats being used are here and here.

I found out that these mats were from Gamemat.EU and being impreased with the quility I have received a new 6X4 mat called Highlands In War.

I take a look at this mat and see how it shapes up.

Sally 4th: Shadespire Storage Solution Review


For the past few months I have been looking for a storage salution that would allow me to have all my Shadspire minitures and accsories stored in way that they are all in one place.
On my search I found a company called Sally 4th which produces lots of differnt products using MDF but also storage salutions that fit in to 19 litre Really Useful storage boxes for board games and war games.

How do I store this lot...
I contacted Chris at Sally 4th with an idea about using the template of his storage salution design but make it so it fits all the miniatures and accessories in the Shadespire range .

 After a few months of ideas going back and fourth Chris and I came up with this storage solution.
