From JamieM - Kings of War Northern Alliance (110 points)

I thought I painted some figures for this army in the last challenge, but a quick scan of previous posts tells me it was two years ago that I last worked on this army!

My how times flies when new games appear and projects are rudely cast aside….. anyway, there’s a new version of Kings of War that’s just been released so I decided that I should get on with it. First - some troops, tribesmen style.  


These are the foot troops of the army, hardy tribesmen from the frozen North.

They’re pretty standard stats wise in the game and I do like a good multibase, so on one they went.

A mix of leathers and fur for their garb.

Next up, some snow trolls. I painted a unit a couple of challenges ago and now they have some friends.


Nice and simple paint scheme and they’re ready to hide under a frozen bridge and bother some billy goats.


Multibased again and some weapon swaps as they only come as one pose with a choice of two heads and two arms (rock and club)

And the family photo:


As for the scoring, I make it 15x28mm figures for 75 points and 5x 40mm figures for 35 to give me 110 total.

Jamie, I do love me some rank-and-flank fantasy battles and these models look great. It seems you rarely see snow bases on fantasy figures but you've done a super job here. I really dig the Tribesmen and the Snow Trolls look suitably tough!

One-hundred-ten for your tally!

  7. You capture the perception of time - and the blurring of many AHPCs into kind-of-vague "the last Painting Challenge - very well - and these fellows also look great!

    I keep thinking I might need to give "Kings of War" another look in 28mm...after all, a new set of rules is guaranteed not to impact any other painting projects - right?
