Gaming | Occupy Wall Street

The Mordheim campaign continues apace, this time pitting my wily Eshin warband vs the horrifically whimsical Cult of the Possessed. The objective for this game was Occupy, where teams had to have at least one unit in the footprint of a building with no enemy models contesting. Luckily for me, everyone survived last time, but unfortunately no one gained enough XP to have any new skills or changes to their baseline stats. So in the warband went to claim ruined buildings for what I'm sure are nefarious reasons.

Practice games are done, the gloves are off, and the deaths are real. The Mordheim campaign has finally begun.

The fancy knights of Bretonnia, and the dirtier peasants, can't be getting all the attention. After all, they weren't even the first project this year that was set in the Old World. Nope, we're back to our Skaven content. This time we've got another hero for the warband, 1 of the 2 Black Skaven that I'm allowed in the warband.

WIP | Time is a Square

This year has unintentionally had something of a throwback theme, as I've started playing Mordheim, and now I'm working on getting an army for Warhammer: The Old World off the ground. I never got to play Warhammer Fantasy back in the day, let alone make a rank and flank army. When Age of Sigmar launched, I did manage to pick up some official models, which I supplemented with miniatures from Fireforge Games. I didn't get very far, as the army didn't really have a place in the modern game. I mean, sure, I could play them as Cities of Sigmar, but it just didn't fit very well. But thanks to the revitalization of Warhammer Fantasy, I'm finally able to give this army some much needed love.

Hobby | Totally not a Paladin for D&D

Recently I’ve been painting up lots of Skaven for Mordheim, and that's meant that I've had a lot of reds and blacks and cream colors left on my palette. I also had this guy sitting around half painted, and guess what? The paint recipe calls for lots of reds and blacks and creams. Huzzah for efficiency!

My Eshin Skaven warband continues to grow, and this time, we have the head honcho of this whole operation: the Assassin Adept. In reality, this model is a Deathmaster from the Age of Sigmar line, but they're basically the same model.

Hobby | A Conjurer of Cheap Tricks

Since I'm basically an expert at playing Skaven in Mordheim now, I feel comfortable settling down with the warband and throwing some paint on some models. First up I have this Eshin Sorcerer, who is converted from a Grey Seer who would normally sit atop a Screaming Bell. Whether or not this is a demotion or promotion for this particular rat is up to the reader.

Look at me go, not even 1 month into the year and I already got 2 games under my belt. Yep, it's more Mordheim. More learning games as we ramp up the campaign, so I decided to try out my Skaven Eshin warband and see how it goes. Turns out really well.

Gaming | Welcome to Mordheim

I like efficiency, and in my quest for efficiency, this post will contribute to 4 of the 5 goals I set out for myself at the start of the year, all of one post ago. You see, I have found a group of folks in the local area who are starting up a Mordheim campaign. I was introduced a bit late to the hobby for Warhammer Fantasy and it's various offshoots, but with the return of the Old World, it seems that renewed interest is springing up in the hobby-verse. So I decided to dive right in and I actually played a test game.

Space Din-O-Pinions | Happy New Year and Goals for 2024

Here we are again, at the start of a new year. Every year, it sounds more and more futuristic, and before we know it it'll be 2050 and the promise of flying cars will finally be achieved. By that time Warhammer Fantasy will have been killed off and brought back again. One year at a time though, so let's focus on 2024 and what the Space Dino wants out of it.
