So, Cathay look like getting even stronger but the models look great.

Nurgle gets some love for AoS and the reviewed stuff could make for some sweet Warrior blocks.

Quite an eventful preview from GW #warhammer #oldworld #ageofsigmar

Genuinely forgotten how much fun Mordheim is. So much so I felt inspired to start a new terrain piece. As if I don't have enough painting to do...

Had my first go at GM'ing the Old World rpg. Good fun and a straightforward system, although I would like more granularity in the weapon options.

Anyone else playing? We've got a bonkers wood elf sniper...

I very taken breaks from GW stuff over the pricing. Outside of rules, I don't get much from them now. So many good options on the market, which just didn't exist when the pricing first got really silly.

So #redroses are RWC champions (well deserved after beating a good Canada side). Lionesses are champions of Europe.

Great for women's sport in England.

Be nice if the men could win a major tournament too...

I've signed up for a #warhammertheoldworld tournament in November. The question is what to take.

My usual faction (Empire), a dwarf force I've never really used or Orcs and Goblins (I'm not convinced my model availability stands up to 1.5 but hey ho).

Thoughts?

Great to see England in the Rugby World Cup Final. They got a big test today and the scoreboard didn't reflect the game. Looking at the players faces I think they know that.

Canada look a real threat but here's to the next game.

Making very slow progress but my Rus Vikings (counts as Greatswords/marauders) are getting there. Just 28 more to paint.

Oh, plus 2 Leman Russ tanks, 24 Grognards and an Anvil of Doom. All to do by the end of the year.

Erk!

First tournament since #warhammeroldworld 1.5 dropped is done. Great to play new people with different armies to my usual opponents.

Might need to try something other than Empire for a bit

Lights aren't great, but I've finally finished my Norman Crossbowmen for use as Warhammer Empire troops

I'm not excited. You're excited!

Been having a lot of fun reconsidering whether Battalion boxes for #warhammeroldworld are worth it.

Got a favourite and, if so, why?

I was away for the big release of the new errata. Rather than look at it as a whole, here are some thoughts on how the new rules affect Empire State Troops

Had a practice game of the most recent version of Necromunda yesterday to learn the rules before a club campaign kicks off.

Fun but brutal. I'll definitely need to learn when to cut my losses

Going back a bit further, the name escapes me, but there was a games/craft shop in the shires which was great

First two games with Orcs and Goblins in #warhammertheoldworld done. Big learning curve as I'm playing too tentatively at the wrong time.

It's been a couple of months since I played using gunline Empire. Work to do....video to follow in a couple of weeks

There's all sorts of theories about what we will see after Cathay gets released. Here's my take on it.

I've managed to put a bit of a spurt on.

Really enjoyed painting up some grognards by @wargamesatlantic.bsky.social. One very small to the Imperial Guard themed Imperial Guard army I've wanted to do for years.

Slightly of the usual topic but....Geoff Parling as the new head coach at #Leicestertigers?

Great player and part of a coaching team that seems to have turned the Wallabies around. Hope he brings stability and success
