Ishoo Wun-Hunred: Age Of Sigmar Sigmarite Chapel.

Well, here we are at last with Ishoo Wun-Hunred. I knew I had to do something special for this one, but it took me ages to think of something special enough (like the Gates of Kislev). Eventually, after months of delay, I realised I had several ideas for less spectacular ishoos, but Wun-Hunred was in the way, so I decided to just do something and be done with it. To make it a bit special, I decided to tackle a project specialy designed for GW's latest foray into Warhammer - Age of Sigmar.
So here it is, the Sigmarite Chapel. It's not only amazingly quick to make, but also surprisingly affordable.
So, for the hundredth time...
TAKE IT AWAY GROT!

And there you have it, Hippo Fans! A spectacular building, very quickly built and for next to no money! You'd be amazed at how quickly you can make a battlefield using the cheap plastic kits currently on the market - so you can spend more time throwing your entire unpainted collection across the table at your opponent's entire unpainted collection.
Until next time Hippo Fans, remember that foamcore, polystyrene, and skull-free buildings are a thing of the past! Huzzah!

Developments and goings on at Terrain For Hippos.

Age of Shenanigans:

It seems that the current fashion is to write a mournful article on one's blog mourning the passing of 8th edition Warhammer and bemoaning the round-based skirmishy shenanigans of Age of Sigmar.

My cat reacts to Age of Sigmar.

Age of Sigmar is not going to kill my hobby, and will not stop be hammering wars. I don't play much WFB anymore, but it is my favourite setting for terrain making. Fortunately, it's also a fairly generic dark fantasy setting, and the bulk of the terrain will work in other settings. It will also not stop be in my ambition to build at least one themed terrain item for ALL the WFB races in 8th ed. Depending on what I think of the new setting, I will probably end up making some terrain which fits into AoS somehow.
