[The cursed sheep]

Is that a mutation or a parasite?  The answer to that is troubling either way.

 

[Warhammer Skirmish Expansion Announcement]

I look forward to testing them out.  Gaming buddies and myself have started using the skirmish booklet with both Age of Sigmar and the new 40k so we've been collecting fan made supplements to try out.

[A Beginning...]

"Stormcast Eternal head with the halo cut off" <-- Great idea.

He looks awesome.  Love his fiction as well.  He's obviously too dangerous just to have running around.  He knows too much.

[Pumped about Skirmish..]

Anything released in the future or they passed over in terms of renown points can be figured out with  simple formula.  Take the points cost of the unit on scrollbuilder.com, azyr or the general's handbook and divide it by the number of models in the unit.  Then take that number and divide it by five.

Also, I think there will be an amazing transition point between skirmish and regular AOS.  While skirmish might be made for 3-20ish models, I think it'll work fine at 40+.  You can start grouping together models from the same warscroll into groups of 3 or 5 and start activating them together like how Bottle had three cavalry run forward on the same roll by accident on the stream.  It'll work.  I think "skirmish our way up" events could replace something like Path to Glory if a local NEO steps up and runs one.

I've been going back to all the friends I know who used to play warhammer fantasy and talking up skirmish gaming.  So far I have three who have dug into their storage and pulled out their models.  One friend has played bloodbowl since the late 90s and when GW stopped selling BB teams for years he embarked on a project to convert every team out of warhammer fantasy plastic models.  So he has tons and tons of extra models across a variety of factions.  It's busy season for his work, so he just gave me his plastic tub of parts in exchange for me bulding and painting him a single warband.  So he's getting Seraphon out of those miniatures.  And I know have a good hundred miniatures across the old world factions and so many bits.  Too many.

I also bought the cheap "Storm of Sigmar" starter to add the fast build Liberators and Retributors to the Order side of things and the Blood Warriors and Reavers to the Chaos side of things.  A splash of Mortal Realms releases into the collection of old stuff.  Though I'm going to have to get more 32mm bases as I grabbed them for the Saurus Warriors for the Seraphon.

[The Wolf and the Rat, new monsters and now at 2000pts!]

Wolf Rats <-- that is a terrifying combination when you think about it.

When I was a child I had two pet rats and then suddenly they got sick and something about their sickness led them to attack and kill one another.  the victor ate the flesh of the loser but died of her wounds/infection a days later.  We knew something was wrong and while a vet should have been involved, no one was willing to put their hands in the cage after the change.  Your wolf rats remind me of those two.

Great models.  Love how they turned out.

[The Lords of Change]

I think you may have been using washes more like the way award winning painters use glazing.  I'm definitely going to listen to the podcast to hear more about how you did this.

[And now ... Gorechosen!]

Cool!  I too enjoy flaming anvils on chains.

Is the basing style meant to match a particular surface?
