Ok, ok, the actual title of the rules from Two Hour Wargames is Warrior Heroes to Be King - but Amazons don't have kings! At long last I'm trying out the game which is a new edition of one of my favorite games, Rally Round the King. And with RRtK being one of my most… Continue reading Warrior Heroes to Be “Queen”

Amazon Update Number 4
I've finished a big batch of Amazons and now have enough for the two armies I've rolled up to play a game of Warrior Heroes to Be King from Two Hour Wargames. If you are not familiar with Warrior Heroes to Be King or Rally Round the King, each army has a core of required… Continue reading Amazon Update Number 4
Amazon Update #3
This week I finished rebasing and touching up five more units of Amazons. Only eight more units to go before I have two armies for a Warrior Heroes to Be King game. You may notice there are six bases - I split the cavalry unit into two bases simply because I've found placing four to… Continue reading Amazon Update #3

I need 22 units (11 for each army) and I've finished 9. A longer goal is to paint and/or rebase all of… Continue reading Amazon Update #2
Piathoe’s Peaks Available Again!
Each evening when I check the stats for my blog, I'm a little saddened by the number of dead links people have clicked on. My blog has ten years' worth of posts. There are older ones, but I've taken everything older than ten years offline. But each week someone clicks on a link to a… Continue reading Piathoe’s Peaks Available Again!
Amazon Update #1
In addition to the Amazons that need to be rebased, I've discovered I have at least one hundred Amazons that still need to be painted, some are still on the sprue waiting to be assembled. Amazons from Wargames Foundry, Eureka, Fenryl, and Wargames Factory are in the "pile of shame." I need some diversity in… Continue reading Amazon Update #1

Ice Troll
I needed another troll for an upcoming WHAT (Warrior Heroes Adventures in Talomir) encounter. I found this one in my pile of unpainted miniatures. It's an Ice Troll from Reaper Miniatures Bones line. Once I found a color scheme I liked, it was pretty easy to paint. Let me know what you think. As always,… Continue reading Ice Troll

Figures for To Be King - 2 units of Valkae Warriors & 1 unit of Archers Unless you are the rare (to me anyway) type of person who has the remarkable ability to plan for the future, you will at some point have to rebase some miniatures. If you are new to the hobby, you… Continue reading Rebasing Miniatures – the Amazons
Two Henchmen & a Chest
Here's a piece that's been in the paint queue for several years. But as you can guess, I need it in an upcoming WHAT encounter. It's the two henchmen from Reaper Miniatures Dark Heaven Legends range - 02548 Merchant & Henchmen. Though I painted the merchant some time ago, the two henchmen sat around partially… Continue reading Two Henchmen & a Chest
