Gaming the Battle Pics of Warhammer 3rd Edition

With none of the other privates around for gaming these days, I decided I'm going to indulge myself in playing out some of my favourite pictures from 3rd edition Warhammer.   I will set up a table matching a picture and begin the game from that moment.  I am going to start with the photo on page 138 (and 8-9, 16-17), "Elven Elites Protect Their General".   This will continue on the other blog - http://theprivateseternal.blogspot.ca

My Personal Uberhammer

I'm looking forward to playing a solo game of Warhammer tonight.   But what edition?  They are all great, and each one offers its own unique gaming experience.   I also enjoy taking what I like from one edition and adding it to another.  This usually drives the other privates crazy, but it's all in the pursuit of the uber Warhammer adventure.

Mmm, Uberwarhammer!

Uberhammer!

I think at this moment my Uberhammer would be to use sixth edition as the core rule set and add the manouevre/advanced formations rules from 3rd, the Magic from 5th (I'm still into those cards!), the fire and flee as well as the column rules from Warhammer Ancients, and the horde, 2nd rank and stomp rules from 8th.  This would of course be all packaged in a beat-up hardcover with the font and feel of 1st edition, with beautiful action photos of classic miniatures from ALL fantasy miniatures-makers from the 70's and 80's.   Yeah, this is my personal Uberhammer.

This will continue on the privates eternal blog...

Slaanesh and Tzeentch Settle it Soviet Style

As I was biking home from work last night, I was torn between wanting to play with some tanks or play a solo game of Warhammer 5th edition.  (I know 5th is not the current cool kids' One, but it still falls roughly under the Oldhammer banner, I think.  And besides, I'm obsessed with it at the moment.)(It's all about the Cards, Man.)  Then it dawned on me - why not play a Warhammer 5th game with tanks!!!  Yes!  I peddled home as fast as I could, kissed the wife and kid goodnight, then ran into the garage to stat out a bunch of Soviet Post-war/Cold war stuff ala Warhammer 5.

In one of the Realms of Chaos, Slaanesh and Tzeentch were having another one of their endless disputes over who is the cooler deity.   This time they will settle it Soviet Style!

AAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

I just tried to upload my pictures and blogger is telling me I have used up my limit!!!

But Blogger, there are T-55's and T-72's battling it out in a very blue/purple realm while Slaanesh and Tzeentch cackle in the background!

I can't get these pictures on!!!!

Perhaps this is a true Chaos experience...

Pictures from an Aborted Game

Was supposed to introduce Private N. to Warhammer last night.  I was toying with having it be 5th edition but then at the last minute settled on 6th (to make the Magic phase faster).  But regardless, the game never fully happened.  Still managed some pictures.  Especially of The Major's beautiful Dark Elves.
