The best thing I’ve read on the internet all year
This may be an unflattering review of a Warhammer Quest property, but the article and the related discussion are the best thing I’ve read online all year. https://www.quartertothree.com/fp/2019/01/31/blackstone-fortress-has-plenty-of-figures-but-not-much-character/
One Page Rules – Still Printing!
I’m still working on the OPR print-a-thon. They’ve dropped two new minis since I started!
One Page Rules – Free Miniatures Review
One Page Rules isn’t exactally a secret any more. There are plenty of youtubers singing the miniature-agnostic game’s praises, especially in comparison to other companies-not-to-be-named-here. OPR offers free core rules, has a reasonably priced Patreon and a bunch of minis on my mini factory. Not to mention a free points calculating/army building app. However you may not know that they give away 25 free minis available here. You can try before you buy! More minis are added occasionally, the most recent going up 8/16/2022. I’m going to review every single pre-supported mini and let you know what I think. The first batch is on the printer right now. In fact, a few months ago I printed some mummies for my WHQ set. They turned out pretty darn well if I do say so myself!
Looking for some Warhammer Quest Variety?
Check out these awesome print-and-play boards from Sebastian Stuart over at Eastern Empire: There’s a ton of variety and they’re BEAUTIFUL!!! They are formatted for Euro size paper or large format printers, so you might have to do a little reformatting yourself. I printed a bunch and they look great! I’ll get them mounted up soon. I’m looking forward to some new adventures with these boards!
Hello world!
I’m launching this webstore as a hobby, we’ll see where it goes!
A long time in the making
My page about DIY Warhammer Quest is now live. It’s not so much about the set I made, but a consolidation of resources to Print and Play WHQ at home. I have to admit, I’m a bit conflicted about posting this stuff. I don’t own the rights to any of it and almost none of it I actually created myself. But I put a TON of hours into the files making all the print layouts work. I’m especially proud of all the hounding I put into the character expansion booklets. But at the same time, GW doesn’t even make games like this any more, much less this actual one. It’s nearly 30 years old! The only people making money off this game are eBay sellers. Oh, to have more than a handful of original pieces! So check it out, it’s right here:
After all that Slamboing, I wanted to give it a shot myself
I wanted to paint a Slambo in a low stakes way. I’m going to work up to painting one of the originals. He’s resin printed and turned out pretty darn well for probably an hour and a half’s worth of work. Sure, he’s just a mirrored Heroquest Chaos Warrior, but I think he looks good! He’s going to go on the Hero shelf, not down with the rest of the Chaos horde. I think he’ll be a Chaos Warrior character for my Warhammer Quest set. Big thanks go out to Soundwave810 for the design!
Slambo Collection
Here’s the Slambo family photo. Well, of most of them. I have one of the finecast versions as well. Though that one needs a bit of work. It’s my first finecast and I have to say that it will probably be my last. No explanation needed. These are from left to right: Dual Wielding Chaos Warrior by Soundwave810 Two legit real Chaos Warriors (Slambo Original) by GW Heroquest Chaos Warrior with Double Axe by Rockgnome I have to say, that Rockgnome’s Slambo is VERY true to the original. Great axe angle, armor and everything.
The world of mini painting is incredible
Check out this AMAZING Slambo by Adam Wier at Between the Bolter and Me. So awesome. Those horns are freehand! No texture on them. Love it! Just a leathery old Chaos Warrior, down in the depths of a dungeon.
Re-Cursed City
It’s coming back! But you already knew that, the news has gone around the world and back. I’m glad to hear it. I even already have a copy, though I haven’t as of yet finished putting all the models together, so that means I haven’t given it a play yet either. It’ll happen. All in good time. No rushing something like this. Yeah. I’ll definitely do it.
