IT guy. Wargamer. Roleplayer. Big nerd. Out of step and against the grain.

Same issue IMHO Hunter has in general with the Hero Talents. Only really feels fitting with a small handful of race options. Your elf shouldn’t be forced to use a shotgun anymore than my dwarf should be forced to be a Sentinel or Dark Ranger. So instead we all end up as a bit of a mess…

Welcome back. 3.0 is good fun.

With the release of The Old World RPG I'm not sure I'd run WFRP again. I'm curious to see what they've changed, but 4e is a bit of a mess. Playable sure, but very clumsy IMHO.

A crossover project I can get behind. 👀

1500pts fully painted. Karak Norn dwarfs for The Old World. Took a proper pic since I hit this milestone with the army.

Since I didn’t want to re-tell this story, I used it as a basis for a chaos cult doing cult stuff in the ruins. Some rooms were still intact, many weren’t. Made a great sinister backdrop for the big end to my year-long game.

Such a great old school vibe. Love everything about this.

I did some testing on flat surface painted w/ the flesh color and it just wasn't happening. :P

Needed two troll slayers for Mordheim. Don’t trust my ability to freehand so no tattoos. #warhammer

Rules look fun. Lot of creative options.

Wonder if you could fit a cheeky second floor in?

Every book made the setting worse. The original Rulebook had a lot of cool stuff. The cover hasn’t aged well. But the initial setting was great. Then it feels like it went off the rails into silly gonzo land and just lost me.

Needed some area terrain. Had a friend print me a batch of these GLORIOUS 1990S SPACE CACTUS TRIO models.

Cactus are on 60mm bases. Area bases are gator board with some AK texture and Gamers Grass basing bits. Tufts are the GG “Dry” box.

Meant to be somewhere between old GW style and modern.

This album goes hard.

Friend of mine got these Scibor dwarf ruins in a bitz trade and sent them my way. Needed a bit of clean up. Put them on some proper bases.
