Let me know if there's a White Dwarf Battle Report you'd love to see refought!

300 year old minis, still aren’t painted. 😂 Classic warhammer people. The old school map, and ghe enthusiasm brought back memories though, so it was good fun

@90percentgeek 2 ай бұрын

To be fair, I've only had the Empire a year since I got them in trade for a sisters of battle army I'd had for 14 years and hadn't painted 😂

@Funkodrom 2 ай бұрын

All of mine were painted I had to borrow some unpained ones from Ben😁 Although The night goblin archers were only painted this year and I bought them when Warhammer 4th ed first came out. 😂

Thanks! Let me know if you need some suggestions, theres a particularly good two part battle report with linked battles against the orcs

@@90percentgeek Thank you. Do you mean the two cool reports from the 6th edition? These are the first reports that come in my mind :-D

@90percentgeek Ай бұрын

No, it was the Battle of Talabheim scenarios from white dwarf 183 - if you can find a digital copy online it's absolutely worth a read, it's very cool.

@@90percentgeek Ah, ok. Thanks for the suggest. Unfortunately, the German editions do not always contain the English scenarios, but I wasy lucky and found it on ebay. I am excitied now to read it =)

Fun content! I just wanted to let you know that exposure to sunlight isn't good for paint on the miniatures. The colors will fade over time and be less lively.

@90percentgeek 2 ай бұрын

Thanks for the heads up! Just checked and my mini cabinet is next to a north facing window which is probably a good thing. Think having them outside for a couple of hours for a game is probably ok though.

Hey, just I found this old White Dwarf two days ago and read the battle report. Shame your cannon crew didn't abandon their weapon and just charge the goblins in melee.

@90percentgeek 2 ай бұрын

That's what I did wrong! Forgot how badass the crew had been in that battle, though to be fair, that was a hell blaster crew so they may be cut from a different cloth!

Outstanding, I was just sitting down to start chipping away at a big 18-man batch paint and this popped up! Fantastic! As to your question on Patreon, how about re-fighting the Undead vs Beastmen report from 217 we were talking about the other day!

@90percentgeek 2 ай бұрын

That could be very cool. I've been wanting to do a Beastman army and this might be the incentive I need. Michael has the Tomb Kings box which is a lot of the stuff you need for the Undead army actually - maybe just swap in a Necromancer to lead it instead of a Tomb King. I'm off to OldWorldArmyBuilder to work out how they compare on points!

@@90percentgeek That sounds great - share the original list with me and I'll see what I can make in terms of a list?

@90percentgeek 2 ай бұрын

I've just added them up in Old World Army Builder. I had to use a Vampire list with loads of allies for the Undead list, which comes in at just over 2K for what had previously been a 3K list in 5th edition. The beasts list is about 2170 again for what had been a 3K list. If I can get a beasts army together this year then we can definitely play it, might bring it down to 2K each by reducing some of the magic items or unit sizes very slightly.

@user-se3dx9qu8l 2 ай бұрын

Looked absolutely fantastic.... I think when the pillar and fanatics land on a unit they come out the others side... so when landing on the BSB would have landed on the night gobos and to the rear of them.

@90percentgeek 2 ай бұрын

Might have made a difference, though I think the fanatic moved sideways through the BSB into the empty space in front of the night gobbos.
