Yea - After getting a hold of the new mighty empires kit we switched over to using the hexes.... but the online maps have a great deal of character. I thought setting up a card table with the modeled hexes and some props (skulls and candle sticks for example) would be a nice way to switch it up but once the table is gone and the hexes are broken up... its gone forever.
Campaign Map for a 40K Campaign w/ some heavy RT influences.
Campaign Map for Warmachine "Campaign in a Day"
Big fan of Uncharted Seas.
Oddly enough a pic of some 28mm Weapons and Warriors boats with a campaign map in the background.
I guess this thread will more or less serve as an introduction to who I am or what I am trying to do here.
My name is Wally, and I think this is the right forum for me. I own a little bit of vintage lead and used to hunt for it frequently on e-bay but ultimately gave up when I found the sniping was too "hot". I own a fair amount of vintage literature but am more of an 8th edition kinda guy because frankly, that's where the opponents are and its best to use a system that everyone is familiar with. I am a hater of the newer army books and tournament scene because I find it does injustice to the flavor of miniature war-gaming and ultimately that fantastic 90's/80's vibe that means so much to me.
I consider myself a fan of "Renaissance Punk", that John Blanche 80's look and the "funk" associated with gaming products of the era. I am also a big fan of the WFRP and although I lack folks willing to play I try to incorporate its ideas and background into my gaming. Hopefully I can use this forum and the gallery section to explore some of the themes that I enjoy and with an audience of the willing.
I am also an avid board gamer and frequently attend various historical events (American SCA and Revolutionary War). I live just down the road from where the "shot heard around the world" was fired.
I use more modern models, so I will try to hide in this portion of the forum. Ultimately I will be working on detailing fluffy articles for my own corners of the warhammer world and exploring other concepts.
So yea, that's me.
