The Old World Playing and Painting

I’ve not yet added the mandatory two types of static grass but pretty pleased. He now needs an army to command and an opponent that doesn’t mind that he is a death machine! I know. I hadn’t realised I’d missed it but I completely had. I was playing with a sub optimal Ork list with…

Dragon Painting and Blood Bowl

The Blood Bowl League had kicked off at the club. My Dwarfs took some licks in their first game of the season. I managed an honourable draw against the highest team value in the league so not too unhappy with that but my Blitzer lost a point of AV and misses the next game. So…

April Works

I do need to revisit this a bit but steps are built! I’m a bit tired now! I am intending to take my time on the big guy. I am worried it bends the game out of shape so I will always prepare people in advance. I do want to see the dragon go toe…

First Club Game, TK painting continues, Stevo makes a purchase

First time since January I made it to the and I got to play the game, that’s right Warhammer the Old World. I was up against Pat and Tom. Pat had the world’s smallest High Elf army and Tom ran quite a balanced Bretonnian force. I took Orc and Goblins, what I hoped was a…

Eyeball

I wasn’t sure what to do about the skeleton eyeballs. I couldn’t paint them as eyeballs as these dudes have been dead for thousands of years! I hope they look alright as I’ve done eight of um now. Mould lines are a killer on these ancient models, Tony you could have stumped up for retooling!…

Post from the sofa

I’ve been poorly all week so no real hobby has occurred! I finally got back to painting yesterday but between coughing and headaches not much got done! Tom endlessly (it’s his gift) mentioned that models aren’t finished without static grass. Apparently it doesn’t matter how nice the paint is if you haven’t put static grass…

The Old World

I have now played four games of the Old World. Two Friday and two Saturday. I also drank far more than is advisable so game four is mostly fog! I’m going to go with over arching feelings then dig into some specifics: It looks and feels like Warhammer, well done. Units are ranked up, cavalry…

The Old World Campaign, and other things!

Patrick and I are very excited about the old world! I am going to run a campaign for the club to run from March to the end of August! What will you need, I hear you cry? I’m glad you asked. You will need a 1500 point army from one of the factions for the…

Remember that time

When that company you worked for had that product that wasn’t great and even after you warned them (because you worked in the part of that company that dealt exclusively with casting resin) them that it couldn’t be done quickly and cheaply to that scale. Well ten years later those samples (cherry picked as the…

Jan Day 14

So I got the Starks on the table this week! Fought to a draw, couldn’t get the clever bits off that I wanted. We have been teaching a couple of new guys, Paul and Andy. They seemed to enjoy it. Stannis Baratheon I think is pretty much as far from me philosophically as you can…
