One fun thing about learning a new wargame is to gain a good understanding of terrain rules. In Warhammer, scenario objectives are clearly built into the rules and players get to lay down their objective markers. For our first couple of games we rolled “the Scouring” three times! The […]
I’ve always known I was a paint-by-numbers kind of guy. Give me a miniature with well-defined lines, and I can put the right color in the right area. I can even hold my paintbrush steady enough to do a fairly decent eyebrow. But I won’t win any painting […]
