Warhammer Fantasy - Tomb Kings - Necrolith Colossus

  Warhammer Fantasy Tomb Kings - Necrolith Colossus  I was always on the lookout for a model to represent the Necrolith Colossus in my Tomb Kings army. When the Hobbit spotted a 3D printed model on eBay and ran out of his hole shouting and squealing that it may be a good proxy, I thought I better take a look, if only to stop the neighbours complaining... There is a big temptation for getting my Tomb King army match fit for the release of The Old World. ( Assuming that the unit roster and base sizes will be similar to 8th edition ). When I saw the photo of it, I immediately recognised that it was, in fact, a great model to represent a Necrolith Colossus armed with a Bow of the Desert. Patting the little guy on the head, I couldn't really tell if the quality of print was good but decided to take a chance and ordered it. A few days later a Royal Mail hawk arrived with my Necrolith Colossus.   ( Unfortunately, I cannot remember the vendor's details but the purchase went smoothly an

  Warhammer Fantasy Release The Dogs of War Chapter 2 The Giants of Albion The Giants of Albion form up for Role call  "...BOLLOGS!!!"

The regiment or "unit" consisted of two giants (Cachtorr & Bologs) and a level 1 Wizard of the Lore of Beasts (Hengus) that cost 450 points and they counted as two Rare Units.

  Warhammer Fantasy - Dark Elves Chapter 8 Har Ganeth Darkshards Time to increase the core unit count of my Khainite force with some Darkshard s . This will not only increase the unit count but enable me to field an army at a higher points level. Their addition will also give me some variety in unit type, in regards a bit of range, as most of the army is melee based. HEY YOU ! Yeah you with the Beard..  Why not follow us on Instagram?   @Tabletop_hobby.blogspot I'm assuming Har Ganeth, as a major Druchii city, will be able to field a 'city guard' of some sort, (it certainly does in the Malus Darkblade novels - FD) . I felt  Darkshards seemed the most appealing and appropriate to start with, this will install some missile capabilities in the army. Darkshards These are the standard core unit box set models that can also be assembled as Bleakswords and Dreadspears . I had enough parts to assemble a unit of 14 models including a command group and I also decided to have them
