Mr Joseph B, esquire of any parish he happens to be in, had arranged a day of fun and frolics at Warhammer World, with some big scenario-type fantasy-historical refight games afoot. One of these was a Hel Fenn game, basically adapted from the Hoodling’s Hole battle report but scaled down to four...

Mr Joseph B, esquire of any parish he happens to be in, has arranged a day of fun and frolics at Warhammer World in two weeks’ time, with some big scenario-type fantasy-historical refight games afoot. One of which is a Hel Fenn game, basically adapted from the Hoodling’s Hole battle report but...

Frankly, if the thought of a six thousand point game doesn’t wake you up inside, I don’t know what will. It certainly kept me going for about eight hours, even though I hadn’t actually slept for two nights on the trot and was fast succumbing to a pestilence and, frankly, was only kept functional...

Disciple of Nagash Invoked, and here I am, making my... third? fourth? introduction post? For a fella who hates introducing himself I don't half end up doing it a lot. Anyhoo, the precis. I have been playing Vampire Counts for as long as there's been a Vampire Counts army to play; started out...

Late last year, in the Christmas lockdown, I started painting a new WFB army. After having a great deal of fun being Drycha in Total Warhammer II, and all the minor trauma I received years ago from the "new" Wood Elf army book at the tail end of sixth edition, and wanting a change from my...

Lords The Master - Master Necromancer - magic level 4, Talisman of Endurance, Feedback Scroll Heroes Margarita di Maddaloni - Vampire - shield, Biting Blade, Nightshroud, Beguile, Summon Creatures of the Night, Dark Acolyte Cora - Banshee Clarice - Banshee Core Company of the Black Eagle...

My second engagement on the eve of Nineteen Crows was something equally eccentric, and this time I have slightly more adequate notes. Joe had suggested Reclaim the Stones, a scenario from the Albion campaign: always keen to skip out the Borehammer, I’d accepted his vulgar challenge. Although I...

Just before all this malarkey with Nineteen Crows kicked off last year, I was in London for the London Book Fair, and even though that was cancelled I took the chance to play some socially-distanced no-handshakes Warhammer at the new Dark Sphere ‘megastore’ in Shepherd’s Bush. Also risking life...

Circumstances intervened and I couldn't actually make it to the sixth edition revival tourney in Upminster, but I did manage a couple of games at the South Wales Gaming Centre in Cardiff last weekend. Both 2000 points, against Chaos (Breakthrough) and High Elves (Capture). Cracking games with...

In a few months’ time I’m going to Upminster to play a sixth edition WFB tournament and it’s… unlikely… that I’ll get my Tomb Kings done in time, so it’s time to break the Vampire Counts out again. The holy word demands a 500 point Border Patrol force for the first round, and a 1500 point force...

... what's all this bloody racket, then? Can a man not get some SLEEP around here? Anyway. Hello yes welcome. I've been around for a while but what with new editions of AoS and Warhammer Fantasy Role Play and Vampire: the Masquerade all on the horizon it feels like a good time for fresh...

Forgive the blog link, but I've just got the formatting looking nice, and I'm not doing it all over again. https://kaptainvon.com/2017/10/22/middlehammer-battle-report-the-first-battle-of-point-lestroud/

Every so often I stumble across something that makes me think of the good times. It might be "seeing my dusty old Vampire Counts army in the display case" or it might be "playing some of that Total War thing and saving the World That Was from total destruction like the unsung hero I am". Often...

I've hit a small snag with revamping my Vampire Counts. Many of my old, lovingly kitbashed infantry are falling apart, and actually fall even further apart when I try to repair them. After the third Skeleton's arm snapped off when I tried to stick its hand back on, and the fourth Black Knight...

Ignore this, the stupid army builder thing doesn't like me anyway.

I have a confession to make. Despite going on record as one who holds Warhammer's eighth edition in low esteem and less regard, I maintain a half-arsed, nascent interest in the system and the antics of those who play it. I still read battle reports, I still read blogs, and I'm currently...

Lord Ruthven Vampire Lord – level 4 wizard; shield and heavy armour; Talisman of Preservation, Nightshroud; Aura of Dark Majesty, Fear Incarnate Carmilla von Wellmitz Vampire – level 2 wizard; shield; Battle Standard; Armour of Destiny; Dark Acolyte, Summon Creatures of the Night...

As a consequence of foolish trading I have too much stuff. You want to purchase some of my stuff, don't you? Of course you do. What I Have - Lahmian Vampire on foot/mounted on Nightmare - this one - (NIB) - 10 GW Ghouls - built, painted - 30 Mantic Ghouls - one Ghast (big claw and dagger...

This is Simon. Simon is my loyal rules monkey for the Pathfinder RPG, and a competent tactical-combat GM for anything d20 based. He is also one of the nicest, most generous blokes I know, and genuinely tolerant of little incidents like booking a game two weeks in advance, then forgetting and...
