While supervising #Thanksgiving Sunday granddaughter craft time I got a section of 15mm 3d printed recoilless rifles ready to prime and finished some #Quar casualty figures.

Battle Masters was a "Warhammer Fantasy Battles for younger players" produced by Games Workshop.
Vinyl hex mat. Plastic snap together tower. Two armies (Empire and Chaos).
All for a reasonable price.
Smooth simple rules that give a good game.

Playing Battle Masters with grandson.
My flanking move with chaos knights and wolf riders had early success.
But a late run of cards (and gentle tactical advice) resulted in Imperial knights smashing my right and center.

Yes, I've since seen other examples that are pretty obvious IP infringement.
Apparently he's been ignoring a Cease and Desist for two years.

I sold off my Armies & Enemies of Ancient Rome because I stopped using it even as a quick reference or overview
Sadly there hasn't been very much out since then to get wargamers unstuck from the ideas that calcified during the 80s.
Most of us aren't going to subscribe to the Journal of Roman Studies

What Footsore are you using?
You're putting Aventine heads and shields on Victrix late Roman bodies?

Another entry for #FinishedFriday with yet another base of 3rd Century Romans for use with #Midgard. Figures are yet again a mix of A&A, Victrix, WA and Footsore with some conversions and hand painted shields. Backdrop by John Hodgson

Ok, after seeing other examples of this guys work (thank you everyone who replied) even I, a non 40k player, can see that in many cases he is, in fact, ripping off GWs IP and should cut it out.
