Walls of Graveskul

So all this wall nonsense, I know.  It all started when Cheetor mentioned something about zombie pirates and the Vampire Coast.  Then Whiskey Priest did a post on zombie pirates.  Then Cheetor said he was using his Nurgle force as pirates on a multi scale with Manowar and AoS.  So then I fell down the New World rabbit hole myself.

Moawr Characters & Buildings for Graveskul

M8's got some new characters and buildings for Graveskul to show you.  I started these a few months ago, you can check out the WiP  Here.

Raid

I know this is either on the tail end of Oldhammer or not even considered, by whichever camp you belong to.  However I believe this little campaign has its merits.  It still remains one of my favorites.  So thought I would share with you all as well.  

You can't ask for much more a campaign background, terrain tutorials, and rough ideas to use different forces.  I remember making those orc huts, and tower as a kid.  I still have the huts and use them still today.

If these one is new to you awesome!  If it isn't enjoying reading back through this nostalgic campaign.

So I will quit boring you and let the articles do the talking....Enjoy!

The Grand Review

Here is the rest of the collection that serves as a backdrop to my main armies.  These are the villains, henchman, and the unfortunate civilians that get caught up in the drama of my Oldhammer world.
Also included is my Oldhammer library, as well as some 40K stuff.

Quest for Stillmania: The Background

Nigel discusses in this article his options or thoughts about his armies background.  He then goes on to include his order of battle.  He then creates his army list filled with named characters and units and comes in just under 2000 points.  

Quest for Stillmania: Painting

Now for the devlan mud approach.  I think the best thing to take away from this article is Nigel's painting style.  It just goes to show that a simple table top paint job with the use of ink, wash, army painter or the like will do.  No golden demon paint jobs here. 

Google+ gaming....you should really give it a try!

For awhile now Google+  has been used by rpg groups to host games across the vast interwebs.  I had really pondered on this idea and decided why not use it for wargaming.  So me and Gaj from http://warhammerforadults.blogspot.com/ had been talking and decided to give it a go.  We first decided to get together and discuss the game and just visit, I have never had so much fun talking about Warhammer!  We visited for about 45 minutes before my connection went out, otherwise I think we would have visited a bit longer. 

A Quest for Stillmania: Building an army

This is a series of articles that discusses Nigel building a Bretonnian army.  However his advice and themes can be used for any army in the Oldhammer world.  So don't worry I haven't sold my should and turned to knights in shining army.  I am still collecting those skulls for the blood god.

A quest for Stillmania: Full Tilt

Now in White Dwarf 215 we are granted a nice little one shot of a full game created by none other then Mr. Stillmania himself.  With complete rules, and card terrain.  This is the lead up to Nigel's next Stillmania series: Questing for the Grail.  A three part series showing the Stillmania doctrine for building his Bretonnian army. Which I will get to in due time.

Enrich your Blades with Deeds of Violence

So  with a busy schedule up to Oldhammer USA I thought I might get a quick jump on everything so I am not rushed days before.  The only thing that is missing from my army is 2 chaos dwarfs.  I'm not holding my breath on getting these before the Oldhammer Day though.  However I have finally Stillmania'ed my list and am posting it for viewing.  Let me know what you think.

Dread Banners

I have been having some trouble figuring out what I want to do with my chaos army banners.  For a quick fix I had tried printing off a number of internet images to suffice.  They were not up to snuff.

A Quest for Stillmania: The die is cast

Now for the action!

A Quest for Stillmania: Nigel get's Stillmania in a Battle Report

I will let the report speak for itself in this post.  I mean come on my two favorite GW staff Nigel Stillman and Rick Priestley you could ask for more.

Did I score a production copy of 3E.?

                                                       

*Update:  So the photobucket fail hit this post, and I was reediting it today.  Then it hit me...duh Why didn't you ask anyone at BOYL while you were there.  Totally slipped my mind.  That quote on the 3rd page got me thinking again, and would like to get some concrete answers on this.  If anyone has any leads or ideas on the matter it would be much appreciated.  Is this a production copy or what?

A Quest for Stillmania: Raise the Levy

Collecting an Army WD 193

Nigel takes us through the steps of creating an army the Stillhammer way.

We start of with a quick overview, where he states that raising an army is a methodical thing that we should really take some deep thought in before we start to recruit our soldiers.

So what army should you start with.  Well this quote says it all, "If I were suddenly transported into the warhammer world by a wizard whose army would I rather end up in?"

A Quest for Stillmania

Hello fellow Stillmaniacs,  Let's get ready and dive into some Stillhammer!
I don't know about you but I find myself constantly thumbing through my collection of White Dwarfs.  Issue 197 is one I come back to again and again.  It has actually vaulted it self into the nightstand bookshelf in a place of lauded glory.  Oh yes back on topic....Stillmania.

Here we are in June 1996 over a decade since the release of Warhammer 3E. and Realm of Chaos.  During the "GW Red Period" it has become a scene of tourney play and "Herohammer".  But do not despair fellow Oldhammerer's  there is a shining beacon of hope and his name is Nigel Stillman.  We all  know him as the man who authored Warhammer armies, and for a period would write an article here and there.  But it would seem for the most part that Nigel would stay in the shadows.  Then came Warhammer armies Empire, he would then continue on to write several more Warhammer army books: Wood Elves, Lizardmen, Bretonnia.

I still can't get enough of the Stillmania articles though.  They only spanned about 7-10 White Dwarf issues.  But these words of wisdom shine down from above on us mere mortals.  Harkening back to the days of Oldhammer and once again showing that it is okay to play the game in our childhood innocence and have fun!

Now this is an ethos I could strive to follow......
WD Issue 221 p. 75

So journey with me back to the time of Stillhammer and become a Stillmaniac like me!

How I Warband Oldhammer style

So I have been trying to break my gaming partners of the 3000 pt army before I game syndrome. It is tough when you have painters as gaming partners and they would much rather knock out 10 more figures, then play with the five they already have finished.

Then I thought if this is a problem for me it might be a problem for some of you. So I headed to our trusty Oldhammer sites, revamped a couple of the articles with comic life, and printed up the articles to hand out.
