Fully Painted- Runewars Waiqar the Undying Army
I have finally caught up to Karl in painting an army for Runewars. Here are my skeletons and such for Waiqar the Undying. What you see in the photos here are two core sets, one box of command figures and one set of Ankaur Maro as a mounted and unmounted version. The basic infantry (reanimates) ... Read more
AAR- Runewars, Battle at Greenfire!
One Thursday last month, no CSW club members were available, so I trekked down to 95th street to see what Greenfire Games in Oak Lawn had to offer Runewars players. It was a slow day, but Mike, one of the owners graciously offered to play. We both fielded Daqan and as I had two boxed ... Read more

Tutorial: Painting Runewars’ Waiqar the Undying
As Karl mentioned in his post, I took the Waiqar the Undying models from our Runewars box sets. After assembly and cleanup of the models, I primed them with a color I mixed- white gesso with burnt sienna and a little yellow ocher. Since there are a large number of models, I used an airbrush. While I was ... Read more

Brought to you through the miracle of moving pictures! Despite being a bit ... Read more
Runewars: Daqan Army Finished!
Continuing on from my previous post, which showed the miniatures before dipping, last week I put the finishing touches on my Daqan army. Spearmen Usually I use a brush to apply the “dip”, however for the first time ever I did the classic immersion dip. I dunked the entire figure into a tin of Minwax ... Read more
AAR- Runewars: Round 2
Tim and I met on Thursday for our second go at playing Runewars. This time, my figures were nearly painted and his were basecoated so we’re mostly back on track for CSW’s usual painted minis standard. We fielded 180 point forces. We could probably have hit the game-standard 200 if we’d stacked a lot of upgrade ... Read more
Runewars: Painting the Daqan Lords Part 1- Creative Assembly.
As I mentioned in our review and AAR of our first game, I have chosen the Daqan Lords -humans- as my faction for the “Runewars Miniatures Game.” As Tim and I traded the armies in our starter boxes I suddenly found myself with 44 miniatures that were unpainted and only assembled via push-fit. Striking while the ... Read more
