I am not sure if it is a mid-
but recently I
decided to get back into Warhammer Fantasy Battle.
I wanted to play games with Samantha
(my wife) and thought WFB would be good.
With my own Burning Sands world/rules I would
get upset if she was not super serious about the lore and the immersion.
With WFB
however if she wants silly names for her units that is OK with me, it is not my proffered
style so my own units will be fairly serious.
However as long as we get to play then
all is good.
I opted for WFB as I played it as a kid and I know the system pretty
well, plus also myself and a couple of friends have been playing WFRP, so if they
want to dip into WFB they will have some experience of the setting and rules.
I tracked
down a copy of 3
I went for 3rd edition as it is familiar, being the rules I first properly
got into wargames with.
Back in the day we used some house rules and we will be doing
so this time around.
The main house rule is to limit wizards to level 5, so that means
only level 1 magic.
Plus a few others such as spells being autocast and dropping a
few rules around troops, nothing severe and all with a mind to make it a bit more
tactical than zippy zappy cast ravine your army falls down a hole sort of gaming.
Oh
yeah!!
We are doing it in 10mm as it is cheaper and takes up way less space.
I am converting
inches to centimetres as it is about the same ratio as 10mm figures vs 25mm figures,
with 1 inch being roughly 2.5cm.
There will shortly be some pages about my army which is Empire Inspired and Samantha’s
Dark Elves.
When the images appear below you can click them to check out the armies.
As
always, I have a topic on The Wargames Website and you can check that out HERE
