Hello again everyone. Sorry for the delay between posts recently, but you will be happy to know I will be back to my regular posting twice a month!
We all have experienced Hobby Wobble and as Wargamers we have come to almost accept it as part of the process. It sneaks into our hobby time like a Nurgling dancing around distracting us from the Great Unclean One that is our current (or next) project. What are some of the ways to prevent Hobby Wobble? Is it possible to use Hobby Wobble to yo
The Season of War is almost upon us!
What a year we have had in the Age of Sigmar. The End Times had come and gone while the remnants of our community clung together and shape our destiny with the new game we loved. I want to applaud everyone who came through The End Times and stuck with Age of Sigmar particularly the community leaders (Dan Heelan, Wayne Kemp, Russ Veal, Dave Witek, Big Jim, and others I am sure I am missing). This community focused and maintained course and now we are
Sigmar's Storm has come and War is everywhere...
Like most of you I thought War was already here...
I can only imagine this post from Games Workshop's Facebook Page is getting us hyped for the living campaign. The time will soon be upon us to take our armies to the field and battle it out for the fate of the Mortal Realms and I cannot think of a better time to bring those old and new players on the fence into the game. There are still plenty of scattered players out there who may not real
I have yet to rebase my old armies....and I do not intend to do so.
Over the past months I have really enjoyed Age of Sigmar. The Campaigns, Narratives, Fluff, and all the new hobby abound have filled my time. I have seen many people rebase their old armies to the new round bases and it is great seeing people embrace this new system, but I simply could not bring myself to rebase (even my unpainted models) despite them looking much better on rounds.
I couldn't understand why I was hesit
Well It looks the same so far....
Over the past year and a half our game has gone through big changes. We had our End Times both in game and within the community. As of now the Faithful (#OnlyTheFaithful!) feel pretty happy with ol' GW and for good reasons. Let's go back a bit and see just how it all has changed (from my part of the world anyway).
Who can forget this guy?
There he is, the Silent Guardian. What seemed like a permanent fixture at Warhammer World was always there to gree
WAAAAAGH...and all that...
Orruks (previously Orcs) have always had a special place in my heart. It was an army I almost began my hobby with due to their comical and bestial nature. Look at the jolly guy above. He screams Warhammer to me in all the right ways.
Look how happy he is for a fight
Now we finally see Greenskins return in force to the Mortal Realms and I cannot be more pleased. They look great and still held onto the Warhammer Orc Charm that I thought would be lost or adj
Age of Sigmar is considered a living game, but what does that mean? For decades we have had a "stagnant" game with Warhammer Fantasy. While the rules did update and units/characters came in and out of the game the overall setting and story remained the same and if any advancement was made it was pulled back to a prior time to keep the Fantasy Setting intact. With Age of Sigmar we have a continuously evolving story where each new book can potentially move the story forward, kill off characters
I will begin with saying SPOILERS!!!! as I will be discussing parts of the recent Balance of Power book for Age of Sigmar.
I have recently completed my first read through of Warhammer Age of Sigmar: The Realmgate Wars (book 2) Balance of Power. The book moved the story ever forward as we have been promised with the new Game and The Mortal Realms are as exciting as ever, but this time around there was more focus on the gods of the realms.
In the realm of Life Alarielle is continuing he
For Empire! For Sigmar!
When Age of Sigmar released I knew I would be picking up the starter set. Not for a love of either army (in fact I would trade the Bloodbound for some Dark Elf models), but to support the new game system. What I did not expect was that I would begin to love the Stormcast models. After listening to the audio dramas it gave me fresh insight and new appreciation to the army.
When deciding on how to paint my Stormcast I went with a theme I created back when Paint Hamme
The Tomb Kings are exiting the scene and it is indeed a sad day. While they will be around the gaming tables for a while to come the lack of support from Games Workshop means they will most likely fade away at some point. Lost somewhere between The World That Was and The Mortal Realms.
The models may be going away, but The Tomb Kings cannot ever be fully forgotten. Nagash appears to be permanently ingrained within the Age of Sigmar Lore and he is surrounded in the Mythos of The Tomb Kings.
My original plan for this weeks post was to talk about my "top secret" Age of Sigmar Aelf army, but while working on said army today I began thinking about rebasing and base sizes. That train of thought gripped me to the point I decided to make this post about my thoughts on the subject.
Remember when this picture dropped?
Many people have rebased an old Fantasy Army or are currently in the process of doing so. Some are using inserts while others are clipping models from their old squares
The End times had begun.
The great necromancer Nagash was born again and the world would never be the same...
I was excited when The End Times kicked off and rushed to secure a copy and jump right into the story. I was enjoying the battles and the intrigue as I read through my copy and then it happened. Eltharion The Grim was killed. That was when I knew something was different. It was when I began to hold my breath for what was to come and found myself clinging to hope as my favori
Welcome to The Realm Gate Blog where I will be bringing you my thoughts and ramblings on Warhammer Age of Sigmar (and probably Fantasy and 40k from time to time). Join me as I add my voice to the community (as an amateur and very new blogger).
This box is where it all began for me in earnest. I received it as Christmas gift from my folks after showing interest in the game at my local shop. It wasn't my first model kit, but it is where I finally began to understand the scope of this ho
