Watch Captain Halgrim

 


Been a dreary and foggy week up here in Nottingham, but at the end of the week I managed to get some Skeletons undercoated. For my test scheme I am using Watch Captain Halgrim from the Cursed City game.

Back in the days before Age of Sigmar I owned a Empire Army and the focal state was Ostermark, which wore Purple and Yellow uniforms. So this is my nod to my gaming history.

The yellow has been laid down and next up will be the purple. I am planning of bringing the whole down a few tones using oils for the first time. Aiming to have this finished for next week.

Soulblight Gravelords Draft List Making


 I received the SoulBlight Gravelords Battletome for Christmas and I have spent the last 2 days reading over the background and the unit information. As I mentioned in my last post I am looking to use the Cursed City box set as the core building blocks for my army.


Cursed City comes with a high number of characters based around Radukar the Wolf. In the current Battletome you would normally have to take all the models as a single choice for 755 Points, however the latest Errata allows you to purchase them as individual models.


So with the models I currently own this is my first list:

Radukar the Wolf: 150 points

Gorslav the Gravekeeper: 75 points

Torgillius the Chamberlain: 115 points

Watch Captain Halgrim: 80 points

Kosagri Nightguard: 95 points

Vargskyr: 115 points

Vyrkos Blood-Born: 125 points

10 Deathrattle Skeletons: 85 points

10 Deadwalker Zombies: 115 points (The minimum size for this unit it 20 but 10 all I got)

Total Points: 955 points


This list is far from being balanced and needs a lot more core troops, I think the Start Collecting box looks the best value for getting some bulk core forces into my army 20 Grave Guard and 5 Black Knights and Mounted Wight Lord. 


Over the next couple of days I will have a good read through the book and start breaking down how I want my army to look. I have always been a big fans of lots of Skeletons. So going to see what will be the best character combination to buff and lead the hordes of Skeletons. I do also have some conversion ideas in mind with some of the new Stormcast dragons riders.

So hopefully the rain will hold off tomorrow and I can get some undercoat on my models and start painting the models I have and completing some of the Bingo scoreboard.

Hobby Bingo 2022

 Hobby Bingo 2022



So we are a few days from 2022, and the usual hobby resolutions will come and go. I missed taking part in the Hobby Bingo last year, but with the new sheet in the current White Dwarf I have am going to use this as my focal point for my hobby for 2022. Thinking ahead that I might actually complete 1 sheet I have printed off 5.

I am aiming to complete each of the boxes at Expert level, with Sisters of Battle and Soulblight Gravelords being my 2 focuses for my armies. I am sure that GW and other systems will distract me throughout the year. But my aim is to have two complete 2,000 point armies by the end of the year. 

Other side projects that I am looking to complete are Cursed City box set and the 2 recent Kill Team boxes.

I am looking forward to completing some boxes, and see what the year has in store for the hobby.

I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
