The Rise of the Brutocracy

After the fallout of the demise of 'The Other Game' (which we shall not mention again on this site) several other members of the Oxford Gaming Club (http://www.oxfordgamingclub.co.uk/) decided to take the plunge and give Kings of War by Mantic a try. I tentatively joined in...

At first I'll admit to being sceptical, but over the course of a number of games it's very much won me round. There's been plenty of e-ink spilled over the merits of KoW as a game, and whilst it's not for everyone, I would heartily recommend it. However this blog isn't really here to talk comparative rules.

One of the exciting things I've found about KoW is the modelling and painting opportunities that it has opened up for me. All of a sudden, dormant miniatures from half-started and long-forgotten armies are being dusted down across the land and it's no exception at Laribold Towers.
With pretty much all unit entries in an army being usable, stuff that haven't seen the light of day for years and now able to get their moment in the sun on the table once again.
Combine this with the flexibility on model-use from any manufacturer and the possibilities that multi-basing brings up and it's breathed a new lease of life into my painting, modelling and gaming.

So the main focus of this blog is about that. My rekindled adventures in painting (with maybe the odd game thrown in for good measure).

I'll primarily be posting about the resurgence of my Ancient Greek-themed Herd army, the Brutocracy of Mykretenae which is what's currently on my painting desk, but other forces including Brotherhood, Salamanders and Twilight Kin (amongst others) may muscle in on occasions.

So, without further ado... here's a first preview of a Tribal Spearman:
