Hobby Update

So I've had many irons in the hobby fire lately. Finished painting the warhammer fortress for my friend, forgot to take photos before I delivered it to him so you will just have to use your imaginations. Skaven-wise I'm painting up a few things for a special game I'm doing with some friends. It's the Battle of La Maisontaal in which  Skaven, Vampire Counts and Brettonia fight over an abbey that holds the Skaven artifact the Black Arc. We did it previously about two years ago. This time we will be doing the full size game (3K per side) with all the special characters and everything painted. When we play I will endeavour to do a battle report and take lots of pictures.

Also I have been assembling Tomb Kings for another friend and making up my new models for my Warriors of Chaos army. I can now do 2K if I use my old models but I have pretty much decided that I want to replace them all with the newer models due to the new ones being a foot taller if they were human size. Also the new ones look much much cooler.

The mighty empires campaign I was running has wrapped up with High Elves beating the Daemons in a decider game when they both got to 10 empire points. It was a fun campaign and a good learning experience for a couple new players.

Skaven embrace Glasnost in final game of the campaign

In the spirit of openness the mighty Skaven empire release information of their military might.
