I then decided I could cobble together a cool Dwarf army from stuff from the Battle for Skull Pass boxed set--stuff I could get in trades and cheaply from here and there. Off I went, still not thinking too much about WFB, really more focused on a cool game with friends.
Then I walked into Phantom on Sunday morning and cast my eyes on Storm of Magic, a sweet new hardcover supplement for WFB that allows you to play games with all sorts of cool new (and old!) monsters. And the book itself? Amazing! It has a spinner in it! A little device to determine which way the winds of magic are blowing each turn! A spinner! I am a sucker for cool looking books, so I snatched it up and it is very cool. There's even a chance for the Dwarves to get in on the action!
Anyway, I am now more enthused about WFB than I have been in a while. Here's a shot of some more Dwarf Miners I finished this weekend:
I want this unit at 25 strong, so I also bought the boxed set of Miners to mix in with them.
Later this week I will show off the plastic Avatars of War slayers I managed to snag. Very nice figures indeed!
Good thing I am doing a Dwarf "Monster Hunter" themed list, because with Storm of Magic, there will be plenty of monsters around to hunt!
Very cool :) I want to pick it up sometime soon, waiting on my first pay! I love that they've brought back zoats and fimirs! I hadn't been too bothered about Warhammer Fantasy for a while actually, but this has quite inspired me - I had a clean-out of my lead and plastic mountain over the weekend and sorted out all of my Warriors of Chaos. I even got around to rebasing a lovely old Wyvern for repainting as a summoned creature...
ReplyDeleteI've heard that they're re-releasing the Dark Shadows/Albion miniatures too - I would rather like a Dark Emissary and a Truthsayer!
Me too! Love those models, and if they can be had in resin (without imperfections), more the better!
ReplyDeleteI lucked out and found a bunch of my old dwarf minis, I really miss the personality those models had
