Oh my God, I didn't see that bear unit before!!

Impressive!!

Naitsabes, I think the Urugan cannon could be initally an idea from Gav Thope to supply Kislev of somekind of artillery. And it's possible he thought on the famous Stalin's organ (orgue?) used in the WWII, a mobile artillery (and cheap) weapon. A kind of this:

And yes, very similar to the imperial rocket launcher. But when Gav wrote about the Kislevite army list this model didn't exist yet.
So, for me, using this dwarf organ gun is completely appropiate. For that, Illumini, I question you: can I use your idea for my own Urugan Cannon?

P.S. By the way, fantastic work on Vexnar the Reaper (what about Valnir?!?!?)

Illumini · « **Reply #51 on:** January 18, 2017, 02:07:48 PM »

Thanks

Urugan is probably = Organ, so "Organ Gun". In the unofficial, but well researched armybook I am using, it works on the same principle as the organ gun.

Of course you can steal ideas, it is too bad my army can´t join in on the grand battle of Kislev, so seeing some of my ideas there sounds great

What do you mean with Valnir?

Good!!

I mean there was an ancient chaos character called Valnir the Reaper. The thing is, now Vexnar has stolen his nickname. I supposed Vexnar the Reaper is his official name, but maybe I'm wrong and it was you who named this model.

I see, well, as the last that was heard about Valnir was:

"He did actually show up in the End Times only to be decapitated by Wulfrik the Wanderer"

I guess it was about time someone took up the mantle

Made up a little troop of Kossars, lead by the buxom Mordheim Kislev Ranger

I love the very crisp paintwork on the Kossars. BTW the modeling on the Ice Queen is excellent. Can't wait to see that painted up!

Illumini · « **Reply #56 on:** January 22, 2017, 09:15:58 PM »

Thanks. Then I got good news for you, you dont have to wait long, as the Ice Queen is already painted (still missing base though). Take a look here: Painted Tzarina Katarin on Ice Dragon

Illumini · « **Reply #57 on:** January 23, 2017, 03:26:59 PM »

Knocked out the Gorechosen champions + one extra psychopath to get them off the line so I can continue on Kislev stuff. Check out the blogpost here for lots of images: Gorechosen finished

Do you have something somewhere that shows how you're painting?

Commander Bernhardt · « **Reply #59 on:** January 23, 2017, 07:58:59 PM »

Wow, that Ice Queen is amazing! But how does she stay in the saddle? And how does the saddle stay on the dragon?

Illumini · « **Reply #60 on:** January 24, 2017, 12:22:11 PM »

The saddle is bolted to the dragon (dont worry, no animal cruelty here, it has thick skin). She is the most powerful ice mage in the world, she stays on with grace, skill and magic

@GamesPoet: You mean something like a step by step?

Nice kossars!!

Is very curious the weight that Kislev has in this forum,taking account the time they are ou of production.

Midaski · « **Reply #62 on:** January 27, 2017, 02:37:09 PM »

I arranged special patronage ( or should that be matronage

) with the Tsarina .........................

There is a tourney coming up this weekend, my first for KOW, so I picked up some steam. First out of the gate is a mounted Boyar.
More pics can be seen at the blog:

I think it's a lot better than the base figure ,well done - big improvement

Xathrodox86 · « **Reply #66 on:** March 29, 2017, 09:24:18 AM »

Quite a conversion - White Wolves Grandmaster works really well as a Kislevite.

Illumini · « **Reply #67 on:** March 30, 2017, 07:35:08 AM »

Thanks guys. I have just finished one more of the old Grandmasters: https://mandollies.com/2017/03/30/champion-of-myrmidia/

These guys modernize very well IMO.

Tourney army is finished: https://mandollies.com/2017/03/31/the-hunt-for-the-artifact-kow-tourney-army-list-pre-tourney-thoughts/

Detail shots of the three little bears coming up soon

Rogers Kul · « **Reply #69 on:** March 31, 2017, 05:37:22 PM »

Nice vision!
So now, only one thing remains: an scenic base (don't know if this the correct word... that for Armies on Parade!)

Xathrodox86 · « **Reply #70 on:** April 05, 2017, 07:55:51 AM »

Great looking army! One of my favorite Kislev armies, for sure.

Illumini · « **Reply #71 on:** April 23, 2017, 11:17:21 AM »

New battle report, which should be interesting for most people on this forum even if you dont play KoW, since it is a beautiful Ostland list vs my Kislev, so it features lots of pictures of empire models from different ages. There is even som fluff: https://mandollies.com/2017/04/22/kow-battle-report-kislev-vs-ostland-league-vs-league-2k-secure/

Shadespyre · « **Reply #72 on:** April 23, 2017, 11:51:09 AM »

I enjoy all your battle reports, though I've not played KoW at all. I think it would suit me from a modelling point of view so I need to take a look sometime - the idea that you just need to fill a base of a certain size with pretty models is right up my street

Zak · « **Reply #73 on:** April 23, 2017, 02:47:10 PM »

very nice

Illumini · « **Reply #74 on:** April 24, 2017, 09:46:33 AM »

Thanks guys

If you want to play ranked fantasy, I think you can´t do better than KoW Shadespyre. The ruleset is easy to learn, but there is room for tons of tactics.

Multi-basing is also amazing, both for looks, modelling and gaming. Set-up of the army takes no time at all compared to individually based figures.
