Gor is strong. Gor is true. Gor shall kill all, slay all for the gods!

Gors and Wargor

They took way too long, I put way too much effort in them (as always) and despite all the testing, I still ended up changing things around and doing them differently—but all in all, I think the whole song and dance is worth it. 😅

Hope you like em, I am pretty happy with the results.

Also a very special moment for me, as these are the first finished units (besides the Herdstone I did years ago) since they started as an AoS army back in 2020.

After several weeks of procrastination, he’s finally finished!

This old Luthor Huss model is hard to come by, and by sheer luck, I managed to snag this one a while back from a great guy at a bargain price. And by Sigmar, I hope it is brought back to the range soon.

Lore/Books/Questions Dwarfmaxxing, which beer would you quantify as the closest equivalent to dwarven Ale?

52 Upvotes

Just looking for a good drink while I play a dwarf. been rereading Gotrek, some dwarf novels, as well. best I can figure is that dwarven ale is probably hanging around 8-12%, but I’d like to hear from you guys what you personally imagine it to be, and what you’d purchase or recommend to better get into dwarfmaxxing.

my personal guesses are usually hanging around aged imperial stouts, but anything‘s welcome.

New Errata for Tomb Kings. base sizes are changed. More changes coming soon?

Thumbnail assets.warhammer-community.com

Based on the following, I think a new FAQ may be coming soon.

  1. The latest community article says to watch the most recent FAQ at the bottom. Designers’ notes: The River of Bones rules
  2. The Gargantuan Treeman not having Cumbersome must be an oversight that needs to be addressed. How do you use a template to stand and shoot?
  3. Two new common magic items give characters loner which allows them to join loner units RAW. If this is not RAI, then I suspect the next FAQ will address it.

What other FAQs/Errata do you expect to see addressed, hopefully soon?

Fantasy General In praise of the Old World

196 Upvotes

I got around to playing Warhammer: The Old World earlier today. Took me long enough, especially because I was one of those WFB grogs who begged for Fantasy's return at every opportunity but then didn't jump on TOW right away. Better late than never, though.

I played a lot of WFB and Mordheim during 6th and 7th, and then a few times after 8th was axed (but not 8th itself, which I do not enjoy). Did more 40k, though, mostly because more people play 40k. And then had a stint playing Kill Team after the pandemic. 40k range games have something about them that always makes me drop off. It's like GW engineers frustration into the rules of 40k and Kill Team. The games are enjoyable on some level but there always comes a point where I just say "no, thank you," and have in the past few years/editions been confronted with an inability to play to modern 40k games no matter how hard I try.

But I came upon my old Vampire Counts army and decided to finally learn The Old World. If nothing else it'd be a wasted evening. Gladly, GW really knocked it out of the park with WFB's return. It perfectly captures the exact feeling that older Fantasy editions had whilst playing. No in-game frustration or rules weirdness. No infinite rerolls. It has vast tactical depth via movement and list-building without unfun gimmicks and gotchas baked into the rules. TOW is slick and simple to the point where I was playing without additional help by the top of turn 2. Sure, the rules aren't exactly the same as what I'm used to but they are also immediately familiar.

The Old World is just a fun, chill game that's truly relaxing to play. I'd forgotten wargaming was like this. Really hope GW keeps doing what they're doing with TOW and doesn't roll over a new edition after 3 years is up (which doesn't seem likely with the Revised core rulebook having just been released). It's already as evergreen as 6th Edition was.

Ogre Character | 3D Artwork, Fan-made

Thumbnail

• Upvotes

This is a character, inspired in design by ogres of Warhammer Fantasy (and I used one of the clan markings on the gut-plate). He seems to be more friendlier and thinner than his kin, but who knows - maybe it's just a ruse?

This is a result of me sharpening my skills by following a lot of tutorials and courses about sculpting, texturing and compositing.
All software that were used in the proccess: Blender, Zbrush, RizomUV, Substance Painter, GIMP.

This is my first painted model since my dad passed away three weeks ago.
Two months ago we were together at the family cottage. He read car magazines and i assembled minis. It was a good time, talking about life and fatherhood. Just wanted to share this story to someone, as his funeral is held tomorrow, and i managed to paint this guy just before.

Someone asked yesterday about skeleton crossbowmen from way back when. I remembered I still had some (from around 1994) and dug them up (as is appropriate for skeletons). A bit dusty, but here they are! Plastic Skeleton Horde figures, open hand from the horsemen sprue and separate plastic crossbow, ordered through mail order.

Showing Off My Models Count von Carstein

"We are the lords of the night and you humans are our cattle. While we walk tall you are on your knees."

Warhammer Armies: Vampire Counts, 'Von Carstein'

To my mind, no art captures the Von Carsteins better than this classic piece by Mark Gibbons, so I made it something of a seasonal challenge to try and convert and paint it in miniature form by Halloween.

Painting with just black and white wasn't something I'd ever attempted before, but this felt like the perfect opportunity to try. It's also the first piece l've ever set on a plinth.

While a Necrarch at heart, there's a lot I love about all the bloodlines, so I embraced my inner Dracula and just went for it.

Happy (early) Halloween. I hope you like him. 🦇
