Lockdown 2.0 Project Log Day 47: Tempted by Warhammer

 Hi!

I'm taking a bit of a break from all the sci-fi again to have a bit of a ponder about some fantasy, specifically Warhammerish fantasy.

Now, I must admit that I'm finding myself tempted by the call of Warhammer but have thus far resisted the call as I don't have the space for such a large undertaking but I do wonder about trying out some smaller scale shenanigans, namely either Warhammer Quest or Mordheim.

I've recently been watching the Lets Play Warhammer Quest series by Guerrilla Miniature Games over on Youtube and really enjoyed them and fondly remember playing the game to bits back at high school as my friend had all the expansions, new characters and whatnot. Sadly it's long out of production and ruinously expensive to pick up all the odds and ends second hand. Annoyingly I did actually have the core game and quite a few extra cards but it got sold off when I went off to uni. 

Saying that, there is a really passionate community for the game so with a bit of patience and a lot of printing out, I could bodge something together and make the board sections myself so it's an option. 

Secondly, there's Mordheim which would be a good opportunity to play around with some painting experiments and make lots of interesting scenery. It's also long out of print but the Mordheim community is very active and there's a living edition of the rules and all sorts of interesting stuff to add in so it's another real possibility.

I'll need to have a bit of a think about either option and there's nothing to stop me from playing both as I just need to put together an assortment of random miniatures and off we go or I could just use the rules and change the setting to something completely different, be it a lost city teeming with danger and waiting to be plundered in the lost continent of Crucible or the decaying remains of an Elven Obelisk from Leviathan...

I'll wait for my foamcore to arrive and see what I can come up with but I must admit that if I had the space and cash, I'd be sorely tempted by some Warhammer, specifically 6th edition. I know everyone waxes lyrical about 3rd but it was before my time and the sheer number of cards, tokens and random guff you needed for 4th and 5th was a bit off putting but the miniatures from the late 80s to late 90's were rather fantastic. Combined with the fact that I played a lot of 6th edition and remember really enjoying it, I suspect I'd go for that version of the game over any other.

Maybe I could just challenge myself to painting up a single group of figures and getting it out of my system!

Either which way, it's something for another day and I need to get some painting done for tomorrows update so for the time being, All the best!
