I recently blitzed some unpainted Cryx models I’d been stockpiling. Cryx is a faction I’ve had for a while, but it’s always been secondary to my Khadorans (and probably in third place if you count my Legion of Everblight). So, I’ve recently started using the faction and decided to start with the Iron Lich Asphyxious [...]

During the week Phil and I fought a 750pt game over my newly constructed battle board. The last time we played my Cryxian force got the better of his Menites, but this time I would be using my old reliable Khadorans. We rarely play 750pt games, so I took this opportunity to field eIrusk. This article provides a narrative description of the battle from Irusk’s perspective.

One of the great things about Flames of War is that all of the scenarios are objective based, meaning that it’s not just about trying to obliterate your opponents army. Rather you are trying to seize strategically important areas of the battlefield. Having a nicely modelled objective marker really adds to the aesthetic of the [...]

I finished this guy this evening and I think he turned out well. He’s consistent in colour with the Greylord Ternion, so will compliment that unit nicely. I need to reread his rules as other than being a pretty decent ‘jack marshal who has some spells and buffs the Greylords, I’m not sure what he [...]

My Flames of War Panzer Lehr force is growing in size, so I decided to take a few minutes to take some pictures. I have loads of things to paint, but an armoured heavy mortar platoon is probably next on my list. Owen

I had a great 750 point game against Phil’s Protectorate of Menoth force recently which I’ll post photos from in the next few days. I wanted a chance to field Epic Irusk as I’ve only had a couple of opportunities to use him before. He is still an excellent troop ‘caster and his abilities are [...]

The Great Bears are in many ways a very typical Khadoran unit that have several of the traditional colours you might use in painting the Khador army. I painted these guys using pretty straight forward techniques, so hopefully this guide will be easy to follow. Step 0: Clean, Assemble and Undercoat I’m not going to [...]

Larger image on flickr.com Many people have difficulties knowing who is who in this character unit. If you have problems identifying the Great Bears – Volkov is the leader and is the miniature in the middle (with a beard); Kolsk is on the right (he is the eldest and is bald); and Yarovich is on [...]

The War Dog was an ‘in between’ project for me. I always try to have at least two different things on my painting table at once. That way if I get bored/uninspired by one I can fall back on the other. The War Dog was the fall back and it took quite a while to [...]

This is the last of the three Great Bears finished (apart from basing which I’ll get to). He is the leader and is named Volkov. I finished Kolsk and Yarovich over the last few evenings. Here are all three from the unit – Once they are based I’ll write a quick painting guide. Owen
