My warhammer “warriors of chaos” Troll army is coming along nicely with a number of cute units ready built and painted. However play-testing has shown that I am missing one essential element… Even with a high leadership general,
Its a bank holiday Monday here in the UK. Traditionally this is marked by heavy rain, and rubbish films on the telly. Well the rain has kept off, but the poor telly is here. I avoided doing any
Last Wednesday I posted up the start of the assembly of a flying Tzeentch war-shrine for my Troll army. I have now completed the assembly and painted the beast. When I last left it, I had not worked out how to make it look like it was floating. The answer, as usual was to go do the simplest route. I cut a flying stand short and placed it onto that. Easy! I have tried to maintain a consistent colour scheme across the model, so have painted the slaves that pull the shrine a pale blue colour. When I first painted the shrine, it was just blue. However my usual advisers; the players at my local gaming club said it needed jazzing up a little.
I am not too keen on the new GW Chaos war-shrine figure, but I quite wanted to add a war-shrine to my Troll army. My thought process started with a plastic earring which I picked up from a £1 shop. I thought this would make a good pattern for a war-shrine base. After a bit of thinking and a couple of false starts I decided to make the shrine out of cork board.
Occasionally I will buy and paint scenery items for my local wargames club. The main criteria for this scenery are (in order); It must be robust It must be very pretty Robust and impervious to damage are the critical because of the way wargamers tend to repack scenery at the end of an evenings gaming. I have lost track of the number of damaged items of scenery. This is the main reason why we do not invest exclusively in GW scenery. There are just far too many sticky out bits to break off! Luckily the club is quite well off for funds, so I am able to experiment a little. One of these experiments arrive through the post yesterday.
For the longest of times I have been playing a Warhammer Fantasy – Warriors of Chaos Troll army based around Throgg and because GW had never released a Throgg figure, I have been having to make do with marking one of my own trolls. Throgg is a troll king character who allows Trolls to be treated as a core choice. Recently I bit the bullet and elected to convert up a figure to properly represent this most important of all Trolls. In the meantime… Fantasy gaming blogs are currently active with rumours of imminent release of more warriors of Chaos Monsters/characters. Amongst the figures that are rumoured to be released is a model for Throgg. . Oh GW! if only you had been quicker, you would have saved me the effort!!!! Never mind, my Throgg figure is now finished.
