Hallo, aangzien er hier lekker veel gepost wordt, mag ik hier niet aan ontbreken. Op een engelstalig forum (the warhammer forum) is het de gewoonte om blogs over het samenstellen van een leger bij te houden, en om schilderwedstrijden te houden.
Ik zal vanaf vandaag dan ook mijn posts van daar naar hier kopiëren. (Ik heb helaas niet voldoende tijd om ze nog eens te vertalen)02/02/07Hello, my name is Kristof and I'm going to start a blog (how original... :p)
First some general info:I live in Belgium and I have been playing/collecting warhammer for about 3 years. I already have a reasonable Orcs and Goblins army, that you can see
here. This time I'm going to collect the good guys, a heroic Bretonnian army. Why Bretonnia? I like the models, the rules and the fluff, and best of all, I got them really cheap :)
Almost all the models are second-handed, this way I have collected almost all the models I need for 25% of the GW price. First I'm going to try to finish a 2000 point force, after that, if I'm still sane, I can paint some extra units.
My 2k army will look a little bit like this:-characters: lord, bsb, paladin, scroll caddy
-core: big unit KOTR (with mane of the purebred), small unit KOTR, big unit KE (with errantry banner), 2 units of archers, and maybe 1 unit of m@arms.
-special: 1 unit PK, 1 unit of yeomen
-rare: 1 unit grail knights (small)
The thing I find the most important is the painting and modelling, I'm planning the following:-all knights will have different colours, this because I think the knights come from different dukedoms to join a big crusade. I hope bye using neutral colours for the horses and bases that I can still hold the army together.
-I'm going to try to add some conversions, but not on every model. But I will add some random bits and iconography from the magnificent plastic sets.
-Afterwards, I might try to make some little unit fillers for some new m@arms and add some little details to all the bases (maybe even snow)
-I don't have that much free time so this will be a slow blog. But I think I can update this with new pictures every week.
Why a blog?To motivate myself (painting heraldry is very time consuming), to learn from the great painters that lurk here, and to improve my English and website skills.
You can see what I have already finished hereThe things I'm working at right now:2 KOTR and a paladin.
4 of the 8 KE I already painted.
The things I'm painting right now are those 2 KOTR and a paladin, and a peasant for the painting competition. After that I have 8 KE's planned, these will get less complex heraldry (like crosses, stars, lines..)
