Kings of War Update #4 - Clash of Kings Army Complete!!!

Well I did it, under 3 weeks to fully assemble, prime and paint my Kings of War army for the Clash of Kings at Adepticon next Thursday.

It was a great challenge for me, I don't recommend this as a usual thing, but I think everyone should experience something like this. Its great for discovering new short cuts to getting units done, and you are also more in touch with how the piece will look as a whole. I know my next army I do I will be more knowledgeable about color selection, basing and overall feel.

Not the greatest picture, I will have a nice session of pictures when we arrive at Adepticon. But for now this is what we have.

While these are far from my best work, I think the color selection and basing really helps the golems stand out. 

Now its time to relax with my wife and son until I leave for the 11-12 hour journey in the Penske truck on Tuesday. Hope to see some new faces this year and really looking forward to the Clash of Kings.

Until Next Time,

Happy Painting - Joe

Kings of War Update #3 - Almost there!

Sorry for the lack of updates, painting this army in three weeks has been a challenge and I still have some more work to do.

I also had a pretty important exam for school, thankfully I passed and I am not Project+ Certified! Well that's pretty boring but it was nice to pass.

So to track what I have completed so far:

4x Angkor Heavy Mortarts

3x Gargoyle Units

2x Zombies Units

1x Golem Unit

Left to do:

3x Golem Units (90% complete)

2x Necromancers (10% complete)

I should have it all wrapped up tonight or the latest Friday afternoon.

Here are some pictures:

On thing you will notice is that I used scenic display bases for all my units. This is a fantastic feature of Kings of War, you get to play with the whole unit of painted figures until they are routed from the battlefield! This also meant that I could paint less figures for this quick job as the base size is what matters. 

Key point with this is the placement of a "leader" figure. In the game a lot of measurements and line of sight comes from the units leader. So for each unit you will notice a figure placed roughly at the center of the formation. This will allow me to easily verify my measurements and angles of sight with my opponents. 

Well off to finish the last of the Golems!

Until Next Time,

Happy Painting - Joe
