Mark and I got together for a fight. Warhammer Old World at 2000 points. I decided to use my Goblin forces of 'Waaargh Jason' from Goblotopia, while Mark used his Lizards. On the left, Stumpy Jason and his wolf riders, then skirmishing archers, a bolt thrower, big unit of Night goblin spears, with my army standard Not As Big Jason and my general Big Jason (mk III, this time without the giant squig), on their right a large unit of Night Goblin archers. Facing off - Mark's cold one riders, big lizards, a low level shaman, more lizards, skink skirmishers and a Slann high level mage. On the right, the rest of the archers (I said it was big, it filled the hill), Weird Jason a level 4 mage; squigs and herders, spider riders, then a unit of Goblin wolf rider archers, out of shot, cautious Jason and his wolf riders. Opposing this half, past the slann, more lizard warriors, more skirmishing skinks (two units), and fire breathing salamanders. Mark advanced a unit of skinks in cover ...

Well, you say High Elves, I say Melniboneans. You know, the type of chaos who give Dark Elves a bad name. Mort and I met up for a game of Warhammer: Old World at the Leighton Buzzard club, and after the humiliation of Big Jason, it was time for Mort's Empire (this time being Border Princes variant) to meet the White Wolf and Stormbringer The terrain, we went for two pieces each, and then scattered 2d6 inches, which put a large wood in my front line, and two hills. A third hill wandered off table to find somewhere safe to stay. This was neither of our deployments by the way! Deployment was this: Bolt thrower and archers out left, with the mage between them and the sword masters, swordmasters with Elric between the left hand hill and the woods, silver helms with teh army standard bearer Elwing out right beyond the wood. I then brought the shadow warriors and the Elyrian reavers on as scouts around the right. My aim - ex the Imperial light horse that did a number the gobbos last time...

Mark and I met up for a 1600 point game of Warhammer:Old World. I had two choices to face his Khemri (undead Egyptians), High Eles/Melniboneans from the 80s, or Gobbos. Knowing the Combined Forces of Goblotpia would be utterly hopeless, I took my Hugh Elves (like High Elves, but posher). A unit of archers, repeater bolt thrower, Swordmasters, Silver Helm heavy cavalry, Elyrian Reaver medium cavalry and a unit of Shadow Warrior foot scouts. Elric (tooled up fighter, but he would be), Elwing (mounted hero with army standard and banner of battles) and a mage make up my characters. Mark had hordes of the Egyptian dead! A prince, two priests, the Arc, two units of chariots, a scorpion, a giant, archers, Tomb Guard, flying carrion and heavy undead cavalry. Utterly scary! The terrain was two hills and a patch of rough ground, all of which was basically on the centre lin, and  we rolled a pitched battle. My Swordmasters and Silver Helms advance. The medium cavalry deployed deep as they ca...

"Oi, where's the rest of the army?" Stumpy Jason turned round to the musician Thumpy Jason. "We's only playing 1000 points!" "Oh right. But why are there more Empire 'ooomans than us then?" the Goblin Wolfrider capatin pondered. Mort and I met up for a game of Warhammer Old World. I chose my Goblins, with only 1000 points. This led to me taking a unit of spears, with the army standard, a unit of archers, a spear chucker and some wolf riders. A level 1 mage, my general on a giant squig and Stumpy Jason rounded out my selection. I was tooled up with magic standards and characters, so half my points were tied up in characters. Mort had two units of mounted pistolliers, a spear unit, two detachments , one of handgunners, one of halbardiers, and a small unit of knights. Two characters were embedded in his spears and one pistolliers, and a mage strode forwards with the halbardiers. My wolves and general went left, archers, spears, bolt chucker and...

Those of you afraid of spiders, look away now! Two Grenadier Goblin Wolf Riders from 1983 (well, that's what it says on the base), gifted to me by my neighbour Brian. Ready to join my Goblin forces There's a lot of character in these boys Waits for back scabbard comments...    Night Goblin contingent of the army (or part of) My phone camera appears to be knackered, so all shots now are blurred!! Here's the best of the bunch... Big Jason, the general I did not paint him, just rebased him. 12 extra wolf riders, 4 I painted, a couple or repairs, the rest are rebased. Matching someone else's style is always a challenge Squig herders It's a lot of teeth! Stumpy Jason in 28mm, and the drummer thumpy Jason - These are Oathsworn, not GW Embedded in their unit Someone's in trouble! I have no idea what it is, but it was fun to paint Rebased Goblin blot chucker (I did not paint th...
