<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">They are designed to be put into card sleeves for standard game cards making them handy for writing notes with dry erase pens. The abilities have been 'broken out' into separate cards to allow them to be stacked under the main unit card and even placed on the table next to affected units as a reminder or learning tool while playing.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Here are the warscroll cards I have made for my Skaven Pestilens:</span><br />

So this week Harry from Table Top Banter and me decided to try a little scenario that we have been discussing for a while, the idea being that you can attack your rivals base and pilfer some treasure.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana";"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana";">The game went fairly well though we have amended some of the rules since playing as it was a little stacked in Harry's favour (the defender), and I lost handily due to that and of course my inability to roll for toffee...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana";"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana";">We were so impressed by how it turned out that we decided to commit the makeshift scenario to paper (virtual paper...) and share it with you lot! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana";"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana";">Please feel free to have a go yourself and if you have any feedback; we would of course be very keen to hear it. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana";"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana";">So here it is:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana";"></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Attack The Base</span></span></h2>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">After employing some of the locals to studying the rival wizards base for weeks, the prime opportunity to strike presents itself! Your chance to get in while most of the warband are away on the wizards errands; Your chance to really get the upper hand.</span></div>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Image Courtesy of Harry Hailwood (Table Top Banter)</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<h3 class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> Set-Up</span></h3>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Place a doorway at the centre of one table edge; this is to
represent the entrance to the defending Wizards, this can have defensive ruins
and scenery to help the defending warband to defend the entrance.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Lay out the rest of the table as per the rules for a
standard game, including the placement of 4 treasure tokens.</span></span></div>
<h3>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Special Rules</span></h3>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Before the game the players should chose who will be
defending their base, they will begin the game with their warband off the
table, the attacking player should deploy as normal on the opposite edge to the
entrance. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The Attacking player should Roll a D20 before the game
begins, this will determine a number of the defending warband soldiers that are
‘off on errands’. This number is 2+ 1D4 (D20 Roll; 1-5 = 1, 6-10 = 2 etc.) This
number of soldiers should be put to one side as they are considered to be elsewhere
in the city.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">During the initiative roll on every turn; a roll of 1-5 by
the attacker or 15-20 by the defender will bring one of the soldiers that was ‘off
on errands’ back onto the table on a random board edge (follow creature spawn
rules for this). All soldiers returning this turn will enter on the solider
phase and will all enter on the same edge. This will continue until all of the
soldiers ‘off on errands’ have returned. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">On turn 3 the defending warband that are in the base (those
not considered ‘off on errands’) will enter the table through the base entrance
on the phase that they are activated (e.g. a group activating Wizard may bring
up to 3 soldiers onto the table in the Wizard phase) until they are all out of
the base.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The attacking player must spend an action touching the door (and
not engaged) to get the special treasure token, this cannot be taken
from the table on the board edge that has the base entrance.</span></span></div>
<h3 style="margin: 10pt 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Treasure and Experience</span></span></h3>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Treasure tokens cannot be taken from the table on the board
edge that has the base entrance by the attacking warband, this restriction does
not apply to the defending warband.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The attacking wizard received an additional 100 experiences
and d3 extra treasure tokens if they can take the special treasure token. One
of the d3 will be an item from the defending wizards vault (chosen randomly).<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

To this end I have decided to make each Monday; a GoMo Monday!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">This is the first video with the state of affairs for the current Gorkamorka projects (of which there are many) and any progress made since I stopped making videos for them.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="344" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/fb0YrrQaayc" width="600"></iframe><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I really hope that this more regular content will help to make those who like seeing my Orky creations more at home as I ramp up the Frostgrave content.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">I really enjoy creating the crazy vehicles for the Gorkamorka games and so I really don't see the content ending for the game, and this Monday video is a really great way to show progress for it.</span>Kiblamshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07647854048268625238noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4115237994446510093.post-42754894090302876292016-09-26T04:50:00.000-07:002016-09-26T05:01:28.354-07:00Frostrgave Co-op Battle Report - Dark Alchemy<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">With the success of our first few games of Frostgrave we have set about starting a filmed co-op campaign using the Dark Alchemy expansion which is indeed designed for co-op play.</span><br />
<br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I think we both really enjoyed the first game and even though the amount of treasure recovered was hugely imbalanced, it seemed to be a great introduction into the gameplay mechanics for Frostgave.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I think anyone who likes the look of Frostgrave but may not have been able to find an opponent as yet, this is a fantastic way to get some games in and also is a great base for some homebrew co-op scenarios.</span>Kiblamshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07647854048268625238noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4115237994446510093.post-16034614754102299812016-09-04T09:01:00.002-07:002016-09-26T05:01:51.623-07:00Frostgrave Videos<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Frostgrave is a crazy fun fantasy skirmish game by Osprey Games, it is one that I happen to love and that I have made a lot of videos and indeed...

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I really hope to get more content up of this fantastic game in the coming months now that we have a campaign on the horizon.</span>Kiblamshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07647854048268625238noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4115237994446510093.post-86263851504013382772016-08-12T12:51:00.002-07:002016-09-05T03:53:26.275-07:00Dark Elder Grotesques Conversions<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Dark Eldar Grotesques are a fantastic unit in 40k, though they are a single posed Finecast models and at over £15 per model; this makes it pretty impractical when you are likely to run at least eight of them in a Coven themed army.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I set about finding a cheap and effective alternative to the official Finecast models and happened upon some examples using the Privateer Press Everblight Warspears, and with the spares I had left over from the Talos/Cronos Models; it can be fairly easy to make some great looking over-sized Wracks that look awesome as Grotesques. </span></div>

<a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The first and most obvious step is to replace their faces with Talos/Cronos masks, this step alone has a massive effect on the look of the models. You will likely need to shave/file off the details of the warspears face and hair, and build up the back of their heads with green stuff.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Next up is removing the hands, this will make way for the gruesome gauntlets and spiky weapons that grotesques use.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">In this post I will be going over the steps that I take to make these models, the first of which is to make their backs look like they were warped by the common Coven methods (overgrown and curved spines).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">First step is to drill small 2.5mm holes in the back of the neck and the base of the back, this will take the green stuff <a href="http://www.greenstuffworld.com/en/roll-maker/69-roll-maker-tube-wire-machine.html" target="_blank">roll maker tubes</a> which will become the curved spines.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">When glued in place; green stuff can be stuffed in each side to form the bulging backs of the models.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Pushing very small amounts of green stuff into every other groove in the spines is a very easy way to make it look like the vertebrae. Then it's just a matter of adding some details using vials an needles from the Talos/Cronos kits to either side of the spines.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Onto the hands; for which I used the spear heads from the Warspears kit to create a 'Big Daddy from Bioshock' look for one hand on each. The more prominent hands have the gruesome flesh gauntlets, which are made using the small apendages from the sides of the Talos, arranged as sharp and surgical fingers.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">All that is required from here is to add some pipes to the arms using very thin styrene rod, then get them painted.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I will be posting more as I get these guys closer to being finished, so stay tuned for videos and another post on here.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This is my favorite Warhammer 40,000 force and I have a real passion for the Coven part of the Dark Eldar, it's good then that it is also the part that allows for the most conversions and scratchbuilds!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">As well as adding videos to the playlist above I should also be adding updates to this site with photos of any progress, so keep an eye for more Dark Eldar content.</span>Kiblamshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07647854048268625238noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4115237994446510093.post-69884986606885178922016-08-10T08:01:00.001-07:002016-09-26T05:02:33.197-07:00Gorkamorka Videos<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">When Orks meet Mad Max on the open sands of the Skid; What isn't to love?</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Gorkamorka is an old Games Workshop specialist game that went out of print a decade ago, and it was the perfect game to get me back into modelling and painting after my hiatus from the hobby in 2014/15.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I have been building up a plethora of videos on conversions, scratchbuilt vehicles, painting and even a few battle reports as I build up my first Gorkmorka Mob and learn to play the game. All of the videos can be viewed in my Gorkamorka playlist:</span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This game is one of my favourites and so if you wan tot see more Gorkamorka content (a surprisingly rare thing on YoutTube) keep your eyes on Kiblams!</span></div>
