Before I shift my attention back to Mordheim, I was able to pop out another model from Black Seas. This time it's a topsail schooner, which comes in a box of 6 with 3 variations. The models are all metal, which has some benefits when compared to the metal and resin from the previous ship, the Merchant Vessel.
As I mentioned in the last post, I've begun dabbling with the world of historical miniatures. And by dabble I mean buy way too many ships, but that is a problem for future me. Current me is proud of the first ship out of the shipyard, a large Merchant Vessel from Warlord Games Black Seas.
Hello all, it has been a little bit since I last had a post here, and apologies for not leaving any comments on all of your blogs. I've been out on a much needed vacation, touring about the New England coast. Now that I'm back, fully refreshed, I'm ready to get back into the hobby groove, but with some new additions on the horizon.
The warbands have all grown mighty in the last few weeks, and so we look to bring this open campaign to a close. Mostly because now we know who the main core of players are, and so we can start a proper map campaign. But also for the fun of it and as a chance for everyone to try new warbands! And what better way to close it off than with a 4 player free-for-all winner-takes-all deathmatch.
I've recently passed around the sun a total of 30 times, so now that I have become an old man, it's time for my hobby to get serious. I don't have kids yet though, so I'm legally not allowed to get into historical wargaming yet. This model was a gift from a friend, from the Lindberg line of models, not that I know what that means. This guy is an XB-70, the supersonic strategic bomber the US Air Force came up with back in the golden age of aviation.

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.
