2024 wrap-up

2024 has been a shitty year for many reasons. I lost a very close family member, then had a stupid accident that kept me away from the paintbrushes for several months. And this depressing theme army didn't help. Anyway. 66 models painted in a year, it's a significant accomplishment, at least by my standards. 

As always, taking pictures of an army is a pain (and quite disappointing).



In terms of game, I have managed to play half a battle (4th edition rules) where my Swiss dwarfs fought against Chaos. It worked not so bad... until the Great Unclean One and his knights reached my regiments.😥

For 2025, we have decided to give a try to the Spearhead rules, to be able to play a game in one afternoon. Still undecided on the army to pick...

In the meantime, I wish you a merry Christmas and happy new year!

The candle-knight and the grandpa knight

Couldn't end the year without finishing the guards of the White Lady with two additional models to reach my self-inflicted 12 objective.

The first guard is the Reiksguard captain model, converted by adding an ammunition pouch on the side, and replacing the plume by candles.

The second guard is an old Citadel reference, designed by one of the Perrys in the eighties, and that brought a welcome change to the usual Reiksguards. 

The pair:


And the regiment:
