Dogs of War Update!

So, have some spare time on my hands so I have firstly painted all my minis for Dogs of War and have now ordered a lot more that probably will turn up this week!

This is my DoW so far:

My army so far!

Pikemens, searching for the last 15 models, without luck so far!

My Dogs of War as it is right now, more will follow! Will also update on my Dark Elves which are close to completion!

Cheers

What have happened since?

So, was quite a while ago I started this, I have just been busy and haven't had the time to work more on the blog.

Last post I talked about an upcoming tournament, The Necromantian Quest, and the terrainboard I was working on.

Well the tournament went decent considering it was my first, didn't get floored any match and actually won one quite crushing! In the end I finished around 30th place out of 50, as I said decent but I made a lot of mistakes on the way which would have altered my position greatly.

Here is a pic of the army I used. I went for dual eagle nobles which I was pretty pleased with, they made their points worth and the mobility they gave my army was awesome! In hindsight though I should have brought a lot more Glade Guards, they are just what wins the game for Wood Elves players.

As for the winter-themed terrainboard this is how it came out:

Still some details left on it, but as a whole I am pretty pleased!

At the moment I have a number of projects going on, firstly I am dual-building both an Dark Elves army and a Dogs of War army, WIP-pictures of those will be added in the near future. Secondly I am adding to my Blood Angels army, trying to get a decent 1800-2000 points list painted. And lastly my gaming group is preparing for a campaign in Warhammer Fantasy which we will begin to play during the summer, more updates about that will also be added as progress escalates.

Besides all this I am still hoping to get my whole armies photographed and added to either this blog or any other medium which suits my purposes, problem is that I can't find the charger for my camera, but it is a problem which will be dealt with soon!

That's it for now, cheers!

What is this then?

I thought I would make an introduction to who I am and why I have decided to make this Wargaming Blog, and what I plan to have in it.

About me then. The interest for wargaming (specially Warhammer) have been with me for a long time. I bought my first miniature at the age of eleven and now at the age of 27 the interest has only increased.
As stated I am 27 and I am from Sweden, so if you find any fault in my english writing that is why! At the present I play both Warhammer 40k, Warhammer Fantasy and a bunch of boardgames, and the chance is this will increase with time.

My main armies that I play and that probably will get the most focus on this blog is Wood Elves in Warhammer Fantasy and Blood Angels in Warhammer 40k. Beside this I have numerous small projects, specially in fantasy, where I now at a slow rate collect Lizardmen, The Empire, Warriors of Chaos and Dark Elves. I also have a bunch of Imperial Guard models for 40k which I plan to use as an allied army to my Blood Angels once everything is done.

As for gaming I am currently in a gaming group of about seven people and normally we play at least once every week.  I will put up a link to the group's facebook page and blog as soon as I get used to everything on this blog and actually learns where everything is. At the moment we have some things happening, first of all I am making a new game board in winter theme which is for the group. I will most certainly post pictures once I get some results. And second we have a tournament coming up in April. This is a Fantasy tournament at 2500 points called The Necromancian Quest which will be played here in Stockholm where I live.

At the moment I struggle with my tournament list, but I will post different suggestions and showcase that particular army once everything in it is painted. It may be also worth mentioning that this is my first tournament, which is why I have trouble finding a right list!

To finish everything off I'm just gonna tell my plan for this blog. First, the current layout is only temporary, once I get to take a bunch of pictures and get some more time to work on this everything will be altered. I basically plan to post what I am currently up, no matter the gaming system, and just post a bunch of pictures of finished projects, maybe write about a battle, strategies, army lists and so forth.

Hope you will enjoy what is to come!
