Forces of Nature

Like many Kings of War players I was a Warhammer Refuge during the great purging.  I had played a little bit of KoW 1st edition however I couldn't convince most of the fantasy players at the time that a game that only takes an hour as opposed to 3 hours minimum was a good thing!  Thankfully GW blew up the whole old world and our area switched to KoW which quickly prompted me to build a nature list because heck it had lots of toys to play with!

The total of this army ended up being my second KoW army to break the 5,000 point barrier (first were the abyssal dwarves) and I still want to add a few more things to it in the future.  This army was definitely a speed painting project and not a showcase of more time consuming techniques but it was a very fun one to do as nature lets you go wild with model choices!

 It dawned on me I have a rather large nature army that never got a big group photo!  This army began life during Kings of War 2nd edition and was the first army I made specifically for KoW.  It's gotten rather large but even so some previous entries on the blog have been rebased and moved to other games (mostly Warhammer Quest).  In its current form its pretty complete though I may have to revisit it and fill out a few entries...

at one point I did field all three unicorns as well as tons of regenerating units.  It was hilarious but kinda mean...

Lots of reaper bones were used though a few mantic models also made it in.  Mostly only a few due to the options not being made until well after I already had a unit.

Currently I only have one beast of nature for the army.  I do want to eventually swap it out for a more table friendly model and add another 2 in for fun.

Yep that's a toy for my hydra repainted in the brightest colors I could think of!

The druids are some of my favorites, lots of fun to paint.

These are my worm riders, as you can see there is indeed a worm riding every one of them.

Somewhere in storage I have another scorchwing regiment that I need to find.

Woodland critters were a lot of fun.  I do miss when they had multiple variants of ensaring, basic and flying though.

The absolutely random assortment of minis represent my hunters of the wild.

And the Dryads finish off my Naiads
