a Load of Old Toby

Tales from Albian Chaos Wizards - Chaotic Demonic Immolation Welcome one and all, it’s that time again for another instalment from the archives of Tales from Albian, my fantasy world I created for my ‘Horde North of the Wall'. If you are following my blog, you are probably starting to figure out, I am not all there and a little away with the fairies, and you would be right in that assumption. Quite frankly it’s a much better place to be, than knocking around this world having to frantically tap on laptops that don’t work, and discuss the finer points of workplace etiquette with the great unwashed! After all we do take our lives into our own hands through simply walking down our local high street these days, so spending my time thinking about the horrors of a fantasy realm is much safer place to exist. So, to my next little trip down the rabbit hole takes us to Wizards, and in this instalment, I shall cover mainly the Chaos bunch I have painted to support my army. Alr...

Tales from Albian Chaos Chariots - Gregor the Crazed with the Unhinged, Insane & The Mad.   Well folks this is the first up-to-date instalment of the blog. Having now finished posting all my old content from other places, I have to actually to get down and write stuff, not without some trepidation I can tell you! I am not a writer by nature so this is me pushing myself out of my comfort zone for you all, so I would really appreciate any comments or feedback below, as it will guide me on future direction and content of this blog.     All four chariots Since leaving Twittersville I wasn't sure where to start, so after posting all my old stuff on this new blog I knew I needed to sit down and think about the direction in which to go.  The answer was easy really, start at the beginning for my painting journey.   Well, it all started, as I am sure it does for almost everyone…..in the 90s as a kid….I can remember very clearly buying my first ever Whi...

Tales From Albian Chaos Warshrine  & Festus Proxie - The Fool & the Loon. Hi there, I hope the last blog post was well received. As I am sure you are all aware last time we covered my new Marauder Horsemen, which were designed to be a slightly heavier looking type of cavalry unit. This week we will cover something a little different….. …A Chaos Warshrine conversion. As I waffled on a little last week, I’ll try not to this time. I will not attempt to refer to how I came to this idea. But it is in keeping with my armies Barbarian theme and I wanted a Chaos Shrine that was a little more monstrous and imposing on the battlefield. So I decided that I would mount my shrine on a Mammoth. Once I had all the bits I set about construction of the Mammoth completing the whole assembly apart from the rider’s seat on the Mammoth’s back. I found this was helpful as it allowed me nearly full access to the inside of the Mammoth’s shell while having a nice solid ...

Tales From Albian Marauders & Marauder Horseman - The Unsound Hello and welcome to my first instalment of Tales from Albian, I know it’s not right but I made it up. Where to start? It’s been a long time since I posted anything….that does not to mean to say I have not been doing something. Oh how I wish that I didn’t have so much to paint. My plastic crack partner in crime and I have spent the last few months, ploughing through our latest project, which is the ongoing saga of our Chaos Army of massive proportions…. But wait before I get into that, maybe a short recap for those of you who haven’t read or seen any of my pervious posts. Last year or longer, time disappears in the great eye faster than you think; I posted some pictures of some complete regiments of the Beastmen, Warriors and a stack load of Marauders. As I ploughed through this rank and file, I developed the idea of making my Warriors of Chaos side of this army more Barbarians themed, to add ...
