Painting For Hippos Ishoo Ate-Bee: Dwarf King's Hold Elves


Welcome back! We'd've been back sooner, but there was an unfortunate problem with the white undercoat spray, which meant stripping the elves and starting over...
Anyway, here we are with part two of our PFH feature on Dwarf King's Hold. This time we're painting the elves.















Well, there you have it! Dwarf King's Hold: Green Menace all ready for the table with a minimum of effort and fuss (apart from stripping the elves after to weird spotty white undercoat debacle...)
We'll be back soon with the long awaited Fighting Pit! And other exciting news! And reminders about the Terrain Compometition! Huzzah!

Meanwhile, here are some photos of DKH in action.

Painting For Hippos Ishoo Ate-Aye: Dwarf King's Hold Orcs.

Welcome once more hippo fans to another ishoo of Painting For Hippos. I recently picked up Dwarf King's Hold from Mantic Games, and it got me to thinking. Many board games come with miniatures these days, and, naturally you want to get the game on the table ASAP. But in the case of something like DKH, which uses Mantic's Kings of War range of miniatures as a source of it's pieces, there's a bit more involved. So over the two parts of Ishoo Ate we'll be looking at what you need to do to get your copy of Dwarf King's Hold: Green Menace onto the table as quickly as you can.
In this ishoo, Grot'll be looking at getting the Orcs ready...
















Okay then, that's the orcs ready (obviously, you can paint all eight at once almost as quickly, but two seems to be about the right number for photo purposes.) Next ishoo, we'll tackle the elves and basing... and there will be shots of the completed set!

Don't forget about the annual terrain comp will you? The dead line's just over a month from now!
