Tale of Five Gamers- Call of the Brayherd

So my beastmen project is inspired by the original Tale of Four Gamers, with my army choice and colour scheme being shamelessly taken from Paul Sawyers beastmen. 

I was never keen on the children of chaos until I read the tale of gamers and then it was a project I was keen on but never got round to. I’m a bit fan of the original beastmen aesthetic i.e. the goat-man. So expect a lot of that!

Whilst the herdstone model is great and I will do one, I’m also keen to do my own, so we will see how that goes.

I rolled my army at random just like JB, I started with a beast lord and my five choices are:

- Great Bray Shaman

- 10 Gors

- 10 Ungor Raiders

- 3 Bullgors (count as two choices)

I bought a start collecting box and a beast lord which covers most of it, so off we go! Here are the first ten Gors, I’m really pleased with them and love the models, we will see if I still love them once I do more!

Onward on the path to glory!

Tale of Five Gamers: JB's Blades of Khorne

Hi Folks,

Very long time no see! So although the blog has been quiet, we've all been churning out plenty of figures. I'll post some of my backlog up for you guys to see.

Anyway, as Stonedrose said we're doing a Tale of Gamers painting challenge with an aim to play Path to Glory. I had just started my 30K and 40K Daemons army with some Nurgle units, with a view to move onto Khorne next. So this challenge seemed like a great way to kill two birds with one stone #twobirdskullsfortheskullthrone

So I've randomly generated my Warband, the first unit of which is 10 Bloodletters.
I'll be honest with you, they're not my best work however I had a really good time painting them. Not really sure why either to be honest, I just found myself really wanting to do another squad afterwards.

My Warband will continue to grow over the coming months and I'll keep you all in the loop :)

Thanks Folks!
JB

A Tale of Five Gamers

In attempt to reignite community spirit and to reinvigorate the blog, we have decided to do afull on tale of gamers!

Now I’m old and crusty and to me this means Paul “fat bloke” Sawyer and Beastmen, to others it might mean Aaron Dembski-Bowden writing excuses and doing nothing, either way the premise is simple:

1. Everyone picks an army

2. We all regularly assemble and paint a set amount of figures each month.

In our case- 10 infantry/3 cavalry/1 large monster but you can do more if you like.

3. We try to play some games in between- in this case Path To Glory.

4. We end up with a serviceable army which may go on to greater things...

So we have five taking part, myself, JB, Abe, Dave and a new blogger (who hasn’t signed up yet). We will try to post at least monthly with pics as we go.

So without further ado I’ll let everyone introduce themselves and their armies...
