[Hero Kids]

In my search for ways to introduce my daughter to tabletop games I discovered Hero Kids, a light RPG aimed at kids by Justin Halliday of Hero Forge Games.
Hero Kids is the ENnie award-winning fantasy RPG for kids aged from 4 to 10.  This game offers a fast and fun introduction to RPGs, perfect for younger kids who are just getting interested in role-playing games.
At this time of this post, it is currently rated 4.5 stars with 121 ratings on DriveThruRPG.

Though it's described as an RPG, and it certainly does have RPG elements included in the rules and pre-made adventures, I would describe the heart of the system as a dungeon crawl boardgame with RPG elements.
After picking up and checking out the Hero Kids Core Rules, I went all-in on the Hero Kids Complete Fantasy Bundle.

So this will be my next project, and in the hopes of using this system as a gateway into tabletop adventuring, I've been painting (and repainting) some of the old Super Dungeon Explore heroes I have lying around.
I bought the Super Dungeon Explore 1st Edition box when it was released, and painted up the heroes for it many years back. I also backed the Super Dungeon Explore: Forgotten King Kickstarter as well - so I've got a ton of heroes and monsters to use for our adventures.

I've already started building characters (based on traditional RPG archetypes) for these models using the simple character creation system, so expect photos of my Super Dungeon Explore heroes soon!

The whole warband!

After yet another hiatus from the hobby, I painted a Troll to finish off a 200 point Goblin warband for Kings of War Vanguard! I've got my rulebook and power dice, and I'm itching to get a game in!

[Bloodbowl] Human Team

So I actually painted these models almost 9 months ago, but I'm only getting around to posting photos now!
Anyways, here are a selection of models from the human team taken from the new Bloodbowl box set.

[Open Combat] Gaming Night 4

Another night of Open Combat, another night of awesome gaming fun!
This week saw my Chaos Warriors raid Ba'la's Orcs in their village - the terrain was an absolute treat to play on, and really brought our games to life.
Ba'la's Orcs were able to defeat the Chaos Warriors in protection of their village, but their respite was short, as they were immediately attacked by a band of holy knights soon after, who were able to dispense fanatical justice!

[Open Combat] Chaos Warriors - Champion

I thought this model, which is the Slaughterpriest with Hackblade and Wrath-hammer model from Games Workshop (and was included free with an issue of White Dwarf), would make a great addition to my Chaos Warriors for Open Combat, so that meant it was time to get him assembled and painted for the tabletop!

This is fantastic model, with lots of character - in my mind's eye, don't see him as a priest, but as a mighty barbarian champion of Chaos, blessed of his foul god - and standing tall on his 40mm base, he is well suited to lead my Chaos Warrior warband into battle!

[Open Combat] Stormcast Eternals

My next warband is comprised of the other half of the Age of Sigmar starter set - Stormcast Eternals! The warband is made up of a Liberator Prime (Leader), two Liberators and two Retributors.

This warband is only five-strong because the models are all on 40mm bases (which does take significant space on a 2'x2' board) and also fits with the lore of the Stormcast Eternals - super-elite warriors, wielding the finest armour and weapons.
