I'm starting to get into this Mordheim terrain building lark.
If you want to know how I made it, I'm planning to add a video to the YouTube channel soon...subscribe, hit the bell etc to keep an eye out for it.

So, Cathay look like getting even stronger but the models look great.
Nurgle gets some love for AoS and the reviewed stuff could make for some sweet Warrior blocks.
Quite an eventful preview from GW #warhammer #oldworld #ageofsigmar

Genuinely forgotten how much fun Mordheim is. So much so I felt inspired to start a new terrain piece. As if I don't have enough painting to do...

Had my first go at GM'ing the Old World rpg. Good fun and a straightforward system, although I would like more granularity in the weapon options.
Anyone else playing? We've got a bonkers wood elf sniper...

So #redroses are RWC champions (well deserved after beating a good Canada side). Lionesses are champions of Europe.
Great for women's sport in England.
Be nice if the men could win a major tournament too...

I've signed up for a #warhammertheoldworld tournament in November. The question is what to take.
My usual faction (Empire), a dwarf force I've never really used or Orcs and Goblins (I'm not convinced my model availability stands up to 1.5 but hey ho).
Thoughts?

Great to see England in the Rugby World Cup Final. They got a big test today and the scoreboard didn't reflect the game. Looking at the players faces I think they know that.
Canada look a real threat but here's to the next game.

Making very slow progress but my Rus Vikings (counts as Greatswords/marauders) are getting there. Just 28 more to paint.
Oh, plus 2 Leman Russ tanks, 24 Grognards and an Anvil of Doom. All to do by the end of the year.
Erk!

First tournament since #warhammeroldworld 1.5 dropped is done. Great to play new people with different armies to my usual opponents.
Might need to try something other than Empire for a bit

Been having a lot of fun reconsidering whether Battalion boxes for #warhammeroldworld are worth it.
Got a favourite and, if so, why?

Had a practice game of the most recent version of Necromunda yesterday to learn the rules before a club campaign kicks off.
Fun but brutal. I'll definitely need to learn when to cut my losses

First two games with Orcs and Goblins in #warhammertheoldworld done. Big learning curve as I'm playing too tentatively at the wrong time.
It's been a couple of months since I played using gunline Empire. Work to do....video to follow in a couple of weeks
