I'm preparing the things I need for Warm Ale and Mud.
It's the tale of Heiligsheld, a small village in Stirland.

I'm using WFB 3rd edition.

It features day to day life & tells the story of the undead menace from neighbouring Sylvania.

The humans are old citadel with no duplicates.

That is a lovely banner, very top work.

In terms of that theme of sort of undead, are you aware of:

Interesting, always nice to see some conversions.

Thanks, if you can't Warhammer with a Warhammer are you even Warhammering?

Mikes Wargames @mikeswargames.bsky.social · 2d

I was around when 2nd edition WFB was still the current rule set by GW, but never started playing until 3rd edition came out.

It is what I play today still.

I know right!

I have Ranlac to lead my other unit, Krell is my champion and they are all following Kemmler the army general.

Johannes Pertwee* for Warm Ale and Mud.

Read about him here:

angelbarracks.co.uk

This won the Golden Gobbo on the Oldhammer Forum last year.
Just goes to show that fantasy is more than dudes with spikes.

*named thus as it looks like Sean Pertwee and I had to acknowledge this.

I think that realisation for me came when they started selling character models for more money due to their stats.
Same sculptors, same amount of metal as a regular rank and file chap, but more money to buy it as it was tougher.

Possibly the same time frame as you?
