As a finale to the event I got an awesome game of Third in with my man Weazil!  Black Vasken defended a bridge against the horde of Irongrind DragonHacker.

Yo M8's here are some new additions to Black Vasken's Goonie horde.

I had intended to play this game solo. BulldogLopez had something else in mind entirely.  What we developed was a crude play by technology at hand battle.  I had everything in my basement.  I would send pictures of the board to Bulldog with added descriptions.  He would then reply by text with what his orders and intentions were for the turn.  Things actually ran very smooth.  It also gave me time in the interlude of waiting for his orders to write the battle report on the spot.  Very helpful that. ;)  Well I hope you enjoy it as much as we did playing it.  On to the ACTION!

So here is the next installment from our wargaming weekend.  Fought this time between me and Blue in VT.

Vasken has seen these lilly elfs off from Combat Burgers and all he wants to do the rest of the weekend is go back eat and drink himself stupid.  I mean who wouldn't with those hawt ass waitress's

All these Elfs have to do is cross the River Ping Pong and disarm.  It looks like something dumb is about to happen...it always does!

Why oh why can't Black Vasken just go have fun at Combat Burger's...man the life of a chaos warlord is not all it's cracked up to be!

The frog hunt was ran on Friday in 2 installments by Brian Kirkell.  I started playing in the first game, but had to excuse myself.  I'm glad I got to play in the late knight..see what i did there...game.  Brian kept us up till 3am with his amphibious shenanigans.

What's a Tim Prow?  I saw this question once asked on the OTC.  I thought it was funny.
Then it got me thinking.  Well what is a Tim Prow? 

So I had time to play another 80's inspired scenario.  This one was thought up by Quindia.  It was a great game.  We thought it would be over after the second turn, and then pure Oldhammer magic happened.  Enjoy!

Here is Mad Morts warband has recently gone through some changes.  As things now sit  Mad Mort and Wallow lead a rabid band of halflings.  Slaggo the Slaanesh wizard leads the frightful beastmen.  Gen. Karnage the chaos dwarf leads a band of Bavmordian chaos warriors, and More-Slash the minotaur has beefed up to lvl 5!  Sorsha leads a band of mounted chaos thugs.  As things now sit they are around 1000 points.  So should be able to hold their own against the forces of Black Vasken.

For awhile now Google+  has been used by rpg groups to host games across the vast interwebs.  I had really pondered on this idea and decided why not use it for wargaming.  So me and Gaj from http://warhammerforadults.blogspot.com/ had been talking and decided to give it a go.  We first decided to get together and discuss the game and just visit, I have never had so much fun talking about Warhammer!  We visited for about 45 minutes before my connection went out, otherwise I think we would have visited a bit longer. 

This is a series of articles that discusses Nigel building a Bretonnian army.  However his advice and themes can be used for any army in the Oldhammer world.  So don't worry I haven't sold my should and turned to knights in shining army.  I am still collecting those skulls for the blood god.

Now in White Dwarf 215 we are granted a nice little one shot of a full game created by none other then Mr. Stillmania himself.  With complete rules, and card terrain.  This is the lead up to Nigel's next Stillmania series: Questing for the Grail.  A three part series showing the Stillmania doctrine for building his Bretonnian army. Which I will get to in due time.

So  with a busy schedule up to Oldhammer USA I thought I might get a quick jump on everything so I am not rushed days before.  The only thing that is missing from my army is 2 chaos dwarfs.  I'm not holding my breath on getting these before the Oldhammer Day though.  However I have finally Stillmania'ed my list and am posting it for viewing.  Let me know what you think.

Now for the action!

I will let the report speak for itself in this post.  I mean come on my two favorite GW staff Nigel Stillman and Rick Priestley you could ask for more.

Collecting an Army WD 193

Nigel takes us through the steps of creating an army the Stillhammer way.

We start of with a quick overview, where he states that raising an army is a methodical thing that we should really take some deep thought in before we start to recruit our soldiers.

So what army should you start with.  Well this quote says it all, "If I were suddenly transported into the warhammer world by a wizard whose army would I rather end up in?"

Hello fellow Stillmaniacs,  Let's get ready and dive into some Stillhammer!
I don't know about you but I find myself constantly thumbing through my collection of White Dwarfs.  Issue 197 is one I come back to again and again.  It has actually vaulted it self into the nightstand bookshelf in a place of lauded glory.  Oh yes back on topic....Stillmania.

Here we are in June 1996 over a decade since the release of Warhammer 3E. and Realm of Chaos.  During the "GW Red Period" it has become a scene of tourney play and "Herohammer".  But do not despair fellow Oldhammerer's  there is a shining beacon of hope and his name is Nigel Stillman.  We all  know him as the man who authored Warhammer armies, and for a period would write an article here and there.  But it would seem for the most part that Nigel would stay in the shadows.  Then came Warhammer armies Empire, he would then continue on to write several more Warhammer army books: Wood Elves, Lizardmen, Bretonnia.

I still can't get enough of the Stillmania articles though.  They only spanned about 7-10 White Dwarf issues.  But these words of wisdom shine down from above on us mere mortals.  Harkening back to the days of Oldhammer and once again showing that it is okay to play the game in our childhood innocence and have fun!


Now this is an ethos I could strive to follow......

So journey with me back to the time of Stillhammer and become a Stillmaniac like me!
