Industrial Terrain

So I recently picked up the coolest kit from Games Workshop.

I was thinking oh, that will be a pretty cool building to work on. But I didn't realize exactly how big it was. I mean this thing is enormous. I thought it was just a little wall section. But check out how big it is with the Primaris marines next to it.

That seems rather significant.

I had picked up the Renegade Knights box. Actually the very last one at my local GW shop. So that is part of the reason I decided to get some of the new terrain Games Workshop is making. It is one of the greatest boxed sets ever. You get two Knights cheaper than you can buy them and it comes with this as well which is totally free at the price of the kit.

So that gives me a Galvanic Magmavent and the Sector Imperialis Manufactorum. So I thought that was a pretty good start.

But in sticking with my desire to add some AdMech to miniature collection (I had previously picked up Forgebane), I thought I would grab this new Kill Team for the special character that isn't available anywhere else.

Theta-7 Acquisitus also comes with some of those cool Ryza pattern ruins which I think look very cool. Here is a better picture.

Lots and lots of great things. This gives me some scatter terrain to work in. But since it is still a small set. It is just needing a little something more.

It would be really nice if I had some more of those Ryza pattern terrain bits. Maybe something like the new Killzone: Sector Fronteris Environment Expansion. Yeah, that is perfect.

Here it is spread over a 22” x 30” mat:

So you can imagine it is a lot to paint. Like an enormous amount of glue, etc. Will be very cool to get all of this stuff done with a similar style though. I think I will probably go with a technique like this : YouTube link.

Ah well, picking up Theta-7 and Sector Fronteris today from my pre-order. Hope everything is going well, happy gaming.

War Machines in Age of Sigmar

Well, I've been trying to figure this out because with a dwarf/elf army it becomes pretty important- usually like first turn important. After our first game it became apparent that war machines are very dangerous in Age of Sigmar. Something has me puzzled though- and it is part because of the streamlined rules and in part because of conflicting reports I've uncovered on the internet. Let's start at the beginning. WARSCROLLS & UNITS “All models are described by warscrolls, which provide all of the rules for using them in the game. You will need warscrolls for the models you want to use.” “Models fight in units. A unit can have one or more models, but cannot include models that use different warscrolls. A unit must be set up and finish any sort of move as a single group of models, with all models within 1" of at least one other model from their unit.” When I first read this it seemed very apparent that you would never have more than one unit in a warscroll. B...

D&D Next- again

So the good folks over at Wizards of the Coast released another playtest for D&D Next. You can sign up and download it here . I love the direction they are going with this edition in general. I suppose I will add some key points here and make some notes about likes and dislikes: Ranger doesn't have a weapon style. Now to me that has irked me. Every ranger was stuck between two weapon fighting and archery for the longest time. What if I don't want that? I am digging the fact they get spells in this edition too. Just a few little magical effects to toss around. Both he and the paladin get cool things to cast, but are primarily just mundane guys. Speaking of the paladin- now here we have a cool way to build a necromancer. I wish they hadn't dropped that specialty after the second playtest. He was kinda of neat twist, but I think the paladin is solid. Can definitely back up heal which is a groovy thing. But then again every one except the wizard currently has ...

WFB Rumors: End of Times and 9th Edition

Well the word is out on 9th edition: summary To me it sounds like a cool idea. I mean I can't speak for everyone. I can really understand someone looking at all these models they have and getting pretty upset that the miniatures they bought might not work the same. But let me wander down this path a bit. My brother and I got into the game a really long time ago (has it been thirty years). We didn't have a ton of money, but we started collecting. A lot of our gamer friends started collecting as well. Some of the earliest kits just didn't work and as time went on we had our struggles with collecting and staying current. Here is a brief list of a few of the biggest gripes from our standpoint. First off is units that just disappeared. Chaos dwarves with crossbows and Chaos Thugs with long bows disappeared. In the early days chaos was human, beastmen, and dwarf. Or at least you could have dwarven allies. Undead was a single faction. Collecting undead was super coo...
