You must snatch the models from her hand. Only then will you be a true master.

I picked up more of these guys too! They were from when it was still branded for AoS, so I need to hunt down 20mm squares.

Ice Age had some very beautiful land art.
I loved that all the Plains, plus the Snow-Covered Plains were all one piece of art.

This stance from him doesn't surprise me at all given this Wargames Illustrated quote from an April 2023 Goonhammer article.
Or the intro to the 2nd edition Black Powder rulebook.

Oh, right. Kairic Acolytes. (Which until earlier this year did *not* cluck in my head that it was a reference specifically to Kairos Fateweaver...)

I can't wait for the Tzeentch cultists who look like Horrors! Or Flamers!
That said, while I like the distinction in horror styles like old Chaos, I do miss the 2000's era metal constant state of flux horrors.

Sam: I know. It's all wrong. By rights we shouldn't even fucking be here.

Yeah, that would be nice. Also, between that and Mordheim, that's how my Empire army started...
Vampire Counts and Wood Elves are the only two armies that I started for Warhammer Fantasy that weren't, "Well I have these models from these starter boxes. Might as well..."

This is true. But just because the ruleset is called Epic: *Armageddon*, doesn't mean it has to be played there.

Being honest, I wouldn't have quite as many armies if I didn't work at a hobby shop that stocked GW stuff.
My O&G army started out as the 6th and 7th edition starters, plus some of the models from WHQ95. I realized a couple of boxes would bring it up to a playable army. And then I went overboard.

Nah, it's the Guardians of the Covenant, which is my 40K scale force. I just wanted the smol rules version too.

Yeah, but the Catachans look bad...
Honestly for Mordians, I want to see a kit that has a Mordian-style uniform with a mix of Mordian heads and Praetorian heads.
