It’s been an age since I’ve written anything here and that’s not because I’ve taken a giant break from the hobby; quite the opposite in fact! Since I last wrote I’ve played a bunch of games online against my pal Ben, had a couple of real life friendly games, done a load of assembly and…

Recently my friend Ben and I tried to design and run our own campaign. I’ll talk more about that in another post but the upshot was that we didn’t think we’d done a great job; because we had been designing with our own armies in mind specifically, it was hard not to get anxious about…

So I thought it’s about time I do another post on some game math. This time, I’m going to talk about cannons and how to make them the most effective. For those uninitiated, I’ll give you a quick rundown on how cannons work. In Warhammer, there is a special die called an Artillery Die. This…

So I played another tournament this past weekend a few weeks ago (I took a long break between starting and finishing this post) with the High Elves and I thought I’d jot down how things went! The tournament was small; very small. There were only 12 spots available due to space constraints in the store. It was…

So I’ve decided that the Skaven aren’t really what I want to be working on next. I’ll hang onto my army but I’m not excited about the prospect of a few hundred rats and then static-combat res-ing people to death. With that in mind, I was thinking about what else to play! I’ll walk through…

Tasmanian State Championships 2013 was my second ever Warhammer tournament. It was a 2,500 point, 5 round, basically no comp. event. To put that into context for the non-playing readers, it was a fairly large army event with no restrictions on what models people could bring and very few rules alterations or clarifications. This opened…

As promised a little while ago, I’m going to take stock of what I’m working on currently with my High Elves. I’ve said to myself that I don’t want to start painting my Skaven until the High Elves are done and so far I’ve stuck to that, despite the Skaven having some really awesome models!…

So I thought I’d start things off with a mathsy post. Recently I’ve been discussing the new High Elves army book with someone on reddit. After replying to a post of his a few months ago, he PM’d me with an enormous wall of text asking for advice. He bigged up my ego to begin…

So after a long time of meaning to set up a blog of any kind, I’ve decided to start with one dedicated to my new timesink – wargaming; specifically Warhammer. I began collecting and playing early in 2013 and since then I’ve amassed around 3,000-4,000 points of both High Elves and Skaven. Over the next…
