I thought I had deleted the photos in this post, but last night I found them squirreled away. Ironically, my son and I are heading down to Recon 2023, where I’ll be taking many more photos than before. (They should be better because I reset my camera after I took these.) Even though we live in Seminole County, we’ll be staying at the hotel for the first time, so we have games booked in every block from Thursday night through Sunday morning. I think Jeremy and I are only playing one game together, on Sunday morning.</p><p>Oh yeah. Recon will also be a special time for us. <b>Friday is my 60th birthday!</b> I cannot believe it. We're tossing a party Sunday afternoon at one of the Disney World resorts.</p><p>As always, I love to hear from fellow gamers and enthusiasts. Please post your thoughts and ideas in the Comments below.<br /></p><p><b>Warmaster: </b>A quick update. Today, I downloaded the new version of Warmaster Revolution, which was posted yesterday, and the latest Army lists. Earlier this week, I began reworking the Empire set to bring it back in line with the size of other “figures,” such as the High Elves. This has been bugging me for ages. I also bought several packs of Pendraken 10mm for an Empire army—more on that later. Onto the Hurricon pics!</p><p></p><div style="text-align: left;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Warpaint hosted by Jim Riley </span></b></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9XWytSVxm5kQPjfnbJMxYMQDIM3poj_K1EYa4F5pVeIXlXmJXQaSbPSQ95BXt0Jqplkl3wfE0e9UXzyNAqHcPxAXJP3dGx59z7I1aj1xt_AxUHw5cHJeM2fH7jIAwEsRVBfNM4tVQTHrkK3ztnnMjolX0ULeEjmcLp_65HvcBgXh9Zg_m73-kYwmn2Q/s1000/warpaint1.jpg" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding: 1em 0px; text-align: center;"><img alt="" border="0" data-original-height="1000" data-original-width="1000" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9XWytSVxm5kQPjfnbJMxYMQDIM3poj_K1EYa4F5pVeIXlXmJXQaSbPSQ95BXt0Jqplkl3wfE0e9UXzyNAqHcPxAXJP3dGx59z7I1aj1xt_AxUHw5cHJeM2fH7jIAwEsRVBfNM4tVQTHrkK3ztnnMjolX0ULeEjmcLp_65HvcBgXh9Zg_m73-kYwmn2Q/s320/warpaint1.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Jeremy and I played a large 25mm game of Warpaint hosted by Jim Riley.

</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><a name="_GoBack"></a>Alex Paul ran a 10-player, 28mm Barsoom-themed game at Recon 2022,
using a lot of custom terrain. Most of the Barsoom miniatures are from Tin Man
Miniatures and Bronze Age Miniatures. You might also see some re-purposed
miniatures from games like Star Wars.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">Alex used his
homebrew rules he calls "Stunning Stories." I didn't get to play in
the game because it took place at the same time I was playing "To the
Strongest," which I wrote about in the previous post. Since I was near
this game, I did get to watch everyone having fun. It was a centerpiece game
that afternoon, and probably the most elaborate setup of the con. I love pulp
sci-fi. Hats off the Alex!</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">Today, I'm
posting photos of the game table before the game began. I tried moving around
the table in a logical fashion. Later this week, I've scheduled photos of eight
of the ten factions and their objective sheets.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"> </p>
<h3 class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: left;">Where Have I Been?<br /></h3>BTW sorry for
the long delay in posting. Back in May I began having pain in my left shoulder.
By the end of the month, it was crazy painful to move it much, so off to the
ortho. After X-rays and MRI, looks like I tore one of the tendons a bit and
inflamed the you-know-what out of the rest of the shoulder. I haven't slept
much in three months! I think I'm going to change my address to the physical therapy
office,where I go twice a week. I'm improving a lot, but just typing this post has bothered me. It's been a rough summer. (I did get a new tablet, which has helped me get away from the desk.) Thank goodness Hurricon is coming in a few weeks--I need some good fun! Next Recon I will be running at least one game--more on those thoughts later. I'll do some photo dumps to get the rest of Recon 2022 posted. On to the pics of the game. I hope you like them!<br /><p></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6vgRE6uF0bpH_UOAWh3Axua1AeXOurRf3bq0Uf_SinhJcmPjL_s91B_UhPffO8_UgZxyJ4qsysPHzvdfmwtPAayKXtJtghF9v8JUUneuwQ3pX6DOycMtcR1tgn4ZjUKLArzGe7___kWFvCuaTanouaY8hBCPsle8mYYqziQ_LQc9rd60yViHOahmGng/s2000/raygun1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

(Sorry, Curt, but I can't your last name!) The scenario was a generic version of Bosworth Field during the War of the Roses, using the army lists in the Medieval Army List supplement and 15mm Peter Pig miniatures.<br /><br /><b>Before the Battle</b><br />Below are a couple photos taken before the game began. I took the first photo while checking out the tables for the 2pm games. I didn't expect to play <i>To the Strongest </i>that day. For a while now, I've owned the base rules and supplements. I looked over them but had never played them.</p><p></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieaC6aXbAA6Qj2E1E6_Ft4mQW4vCf28K8Z1EDDqVdAdrEY0qx2El7M4gbSJIot2ExZW35DImAoEjgkX5nV1rX4wgQBKKJfZ1G7ZR8qytSSnpUKIZMdrfBYAlZEC-BSLYdqk5Ca8cyfOzCZkmyxSVCsJjC49SlJFD9mZcaRV3qXay33cz3C9knfhY_rBA/s2000/TtS1-GameBegin1.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1194" data-original-width="2000" height="239" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieaC6aXbAA6Qj2E1E6_Ft4mQW4vCf28K8Z1EDDqVdAdrEY0qx2El7M4gbSJIot2ExZW35DImAoEjgkX5nV1rX4wgQBKKJfZ1G7ZR8qytSSnpUKIZMdrfBYAlZEC-BSLYdqk5Ca8cyfOzCZkmyxSVCsJjC49SlJFD9mZcaRV3qXay33cz3C9knfhY_rBA/w400-h239/TtS1-GameBegin1.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">On the left is the Tudor army led by Henry Tudor.

These were Curt's figures. I only have Peter Pig's WWII figures. For years, I have looked at the WoR range online but had never seen them in person. I love them. BTW this Recon had a wide variety of miniature sizes: 6mm, 10mm, 15mm, 1/72, 28mm, 40mm, and 54mm. Wow! The mat is from Simon's <a href="https://bigredbatshop.co.uk/" target="_blank">BigRedBat web store</a>.</p><p><br /><b>The York Army</b><br />Below are some photos and stats for the York army. I took close-up photos of the York army lists that Curt made, but forgot to take photos of the Tudor army lists. These armies played nicely against each other and were easy to command. Jeremy and I took shots of Richard's army, but I forgot to take close-up photos of Hastings and Norfolk.<br /></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhI-IfBYnrZFYs70c8jaN5_03VROYUEo2AmDSCohNzWjPSu5LrABbpVXNF3klvcmuwQ3fHMz0SrB-i0Q123hSlT1XP0Q1qd3gof9moDHXYIkIsEiutNezDflcOGUbZ2DYabxulab_J6JA-ANDVB2sviV9pjdvZqi2HLhUlLWisNsdx9ocXCMDwVUwb_PQ/s2000/TtS2-York-Army2.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1007" data-original-width="2000" height="201" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhI-IfBYnrZFYs70c8jaN5_03VROYUEo2AmDSCohNzWjPSu5LrABbpVXNF3klvcmuwQ3fHMz0SrB-i0Q123hSlT1XP0Q1qd3gof9moDHXYIkIsEiutNezDflcOGUbZ2DYabxulab_J6JA-ANDVB2sviV9pjdvZqi2HLhUlLWisNsdx9ocXCMDwVUwb_PQ/w400-h201/TtS2-York-Army2.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">A close-up of Richard III's battle on the right wing.

Daniel Moreno handled the rules, which he loves doing. Curt provided strategy tips to me and controlled Richard's army. Instead of cards, both sides used the Chits of War official chits from the BigRedBat store. At the request of the new player (sorry, can't recall his name!), we used alternating activation instead of I-go-you-go. Being my first game, I'm uncertain if this was good or bad.

All six armies (or whatever they are called) had no problem activating. Sadly, my Hastings army, which held the center, just sat in place for at least three turns, blowing its activation every time. Sigh. Eventually, the game got going. After two hours, we ended it. It was close. I lost by a squeak. Sorry, Richard!<br /><br /><b>My Thoughts</b><br />I like rolling dice and missed doing that. Dice feel dramatic to me. That being said, I liked To the Strongest overall. We did a game in two hours. That was nice. I did have a problem with the chit pulling (or card flipping). I found myself card counting. It drove me nuts. But I'm sure I can overcome that.</p><p>I think using alternating army/battle activation messed with the chit pulling odds as a turn progressed. I have to see what others think about this.</p><p>In the end, I didn't come away wanting to play To the Strongest again as soon as possible. I was just glad to end the game. It was a slog, with lots of sound and fury from the players but signifying not much happening due to constant bad chit pulls. I need to study the rules. We knew we accidentally played some important rules wrong. It always happens. I have to wrap my head around the grid system more. Would I turn down a game of TtS? No. Would I seek out a game of TtS? Not sure.<br /></p><p>Oh yeah, and now I'm hooked on the War of the Roses, which has been a favorite of mine since middle school.

I also got my son to come along. He's 31 now, has his own life, but had the time free. Over the years, he's really gotten into board wargaming along with his regular board gaming hobby.<br /><br />I really didn't know what to expect at the con. It had been 7 years since we last went to an HMGS South con. It just wasn't my scene. (I've also been away from miniature gaming for a long time--curse you Magic the Gathering!) Seems like a lot has changed in 7 years! We had a blast. So many different games to play. Everyone was great. This post will be a quick glance. More to come later.<br /><br /></p><h3 style="text-align: left;">Friday 1pm We Arrive</h3><h4 style="text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPXzEuBlJawaMsshO8N0vWKNzWIbeiYEJFUTVXMF76OqqzkioUl9rd83cOhExy-AwNEKR4MneqOUGrp72IOb50VFYPOWX6dzDf9GVw3dHJYeuumqioYBePti_LIzQ-WsHgL5a9E_3SmR35P4zBLv5xyaAnSGPhraVYGoUeFtWT-lbtFrSYSHAJh-zgrw/s1000/recon-2022-0.jpg"><img border="0" data-original-height="486" data-original-width="1000" height="195" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPXzEuBlJawaMsshO8N0vWKNzWIbeiYEJFUTVXMF76OqqzkioUl9rd83cOhExy-AwNEKR4MneqOUGrp72IOb50VFYPOWX6dzDf9GVw3dHJYeuumqioYBePti_LIzQ-WsHgL5a9E_3SmR35P4zBLv5xyaAnSGPhraVYGoUeFtWT-lbtFrSYSHAJh-zgrw/w400-h195/recon-2022-0.jpg" width="400" /></a></div></h4><p style="text-align: left;">We arrived at the con on Friday at 1pm, so it was just getting ready to start ramping up. Jeremy snapped a quick photo of the floor. Jerry Boles is off to the right, playing a large Luftwaffe 1946 game. Seems like he has dropped Black Cross/Blue Skies, which I still own. I decided not to play one of those games this con. I wanted to play different things.<br /><br /></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><b>AWI With Pete Panzeri</b></h3><p style="text-align: left;">Jeremy and I both got into a 25mm AWI game run by Pete Panzeri using his own rules. It had been many years since we last played a game together! Pete is a laid back guy and just fun to game with. The set up was huge, using Old Glory figures. I loved playing with those figures. So much character and a trip down memory lane.<br /><br />Jeremy snapped this photo of me jawboning with two other players. I'm in the center. My gaming partner is to my left, seriously thinking about our strategy. We played British heading toward Yorktown on what was to be a suicide mission in real life. Sam on my right was playing the Rebels trying to delay us bringing up the artillery. I'm going on about "The Rock of Gibraltar" on the table and how did that Rebel artillery get up it? Sam and I kept cracking up. Pete claimed it was just a low hill in the game. Sure it was. :-)<br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhD2NvOayorrLlyOmh0WNoKhfnN4-q08BweaIGfMapBvi3u5FwbbZ9Q3_PUG9JKoITkDqh8XNuU0bl0W5c1AXnGV3H-NykXvXsGGo_ikj_Lo4Z-u4FftQNZFE634CrwJnkR2ru9_WFqqnyeULncV_LGzmtQhh0OmY18ve2YWzCMaPhlncBgGpLoJVBQ9g/s1000/recon-2022-1.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="573" data-original-width="1000" height="229" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhD2NvOayorrLlyOmh0WNoKhfnN4-q08BweaIGfMapBvi3u5FwbbZ9Q3_PUG9JKoITkDqh8XNuU0bl0W5c1AXnGV3H-NykXvXsGGo_ikj_Lo4Z-u4FftQNZFE634CrwJnkR2ru9_WFqqnyeULncV_LGzmtQhh0OmY18ve2YWzCMaPhlncBgGpLoJVBQ9g/w400-h229/recon-2022-1.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><p></p><div><p style="text-align: left;"></p><h3 style="text-align: left;">Cruel Seas is My New Thing</h3><p style="text-align: left;">On Saturday, Jeremy got into a large Cruel Seas game and loved it.

Unfortunatly, the server hasn't switched to https yet, so most browsers are giving fits downloading the PDFs from it. This has been preventing folks from downloading my Warmaster armies. I'm in the process of moving the files to Google Drive and updating all the blog pages that reference the files. The plan is to work backward in time, starting with most recent posts to the oldest posts. Hopefully, it won't take long, but with the holidays time gets scarce.CPBelthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06415899612539163130noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7446371720937642165.post-6525689728711409952021-07-04T16:40:00.005-04:002021-12-21T16:37:12.995-05:00New Early Imperial Roman Paper Army<p style="text-align: left;"></p>Over the last few months, I've been working slowly on revising my Early Imperial Roman army set, which I posted six years ago. There wasn't anything horribly wrong with the set. I've used it in my own gaming. I just wanted to make it better and fit easily on the comic backing boards like other sets with eight rows of counters.<br /><p></p>

I also wanted to use troops that the EIR would have used depending on the battle. For example, Balearic Slingers, Numidians, Spanish, Praetorians, and Sarmations. I've listed some of these later in the post, so you know what they are. I've also posted some new army lists to try out. I imported everything else from the old EIR post, deleting it and its files from my server.<p></p><p style="text-align: left;"><b>Other than the artillery units and the original General stands, I have remade every counter in this set. </b><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><b>Generic Set: </b>The generic set will go up soon. I will include heavy cavalry based along the long counter edge and two army camps, which some other games use. I'll post it on the Warmaster Paper Armies page with the other generic sets.</p><p style="text-align: left;"><br /></p>

Print the counter sheets at actual (100%) size. Do not print to "fit margins." You can cut the counters and then use them how you like. If printing on card stock, for example, 110lb has worked well for me. You could also glue the counters onto wooden stands from Litko, giving them a miniatures feel. I sized this set so each page of counters will fit on a cheap 'Silver Age' comic backing board. Spray glue the sheet onto the backing board, and then cut out the counters using a sharp Xacto knife with a steel ruler. The counters will last a long time this way. However you do it, I hope you enjoy using this set of counters. Let me know what you think in the comments below.</p><p><br /></p><p></p><div style="text-align: center;"><i>Click on the counter set images below to download the the complete army counter set in PDF.</i></div>

Plus, the variety of generals and legates allows this set to be used in Roman Civil War battles.<br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: 0px; margin-right: auto; text-align: left;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVasQv04cZ0MW1H8o2BOiDjy3OO-3mLMj7LBfKRGfnx-KLz7mWPL2Z7qZ7JaghcH7fqZGTeerqphsMQ1FzNrQqsmAs9iHO8vSebwBie3UcqRSoZOLnFERo6op4waMrQWMq_LfPFnIr3TRs/s558/command-legate1.tif" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="558" data-original-width="271" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVasQv04cZ0MW1H8o2BOiDjy3OO-3mLMj7LBfKRGfnx-KLz7mWPL2Z7qZ7JaghcH7fqZGTeerqphsMQ1FzNrQqsmAs9iHO8vSebwBie3UcqRSoZOLnFERo6op4waMrQWMq_LfPFnIr3TRs/w97-h200/command-legate1.tif" width="97" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Legate</td></tr></tbody></table><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: 0px; margin-right: auto; text-align: left;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDEXqp3OocH2kcomyHJYvYFHdkTgXJAAc4XoZCJke6MSU-eI1FNX7i3R9z1-HALdP9gH0uyZ-QTEI1iK33BmDWIkjBxCDCtSPIHXuEHGuhYE9zHkK8VgGfFcBXT4hUElLmI-UG4wgu52KH/s609/command-legate4.tif" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="609" data-original-width="296" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDEXqp3OocH2kcomyHJYvYFHdkTgXJAAc4XoZCJke6MSU-eI1FNX7i3R9z1-HALdP9gH0uyZ-QTEI1iK33BmDWIkjBxCDCtSPIHXuEHGuhYE9zHkK8VgGfFcBXT4hUElLmI-UG4wgu52KH/w98-h200/command-legate4.tif" width="98" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Legate</td></tr></tbody></table></div><br /><div><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: 0px; margin-right: auto; text-align: left;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhS9Gb0_ssi3ioJobb04ku83n2e7fXyeUV5tGqZAXffQACOjtI7yKvgpSWlGxyzhnp9tU_5k5GoIuzl6mvxvfyeOxMnBEtRTKRI5cH6czkB7PGAxw8tgc-PnxCnEjc_ncpoz6ISGnwHai_D/s572/commnnd-general3.tif" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="572" data-original-width="572" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhS9Gb0_ssi3ioJobb04ku83n2e7fXyeUV5tGqZAXffQACOjtI7yKvgpSWlGxyzhnp9tU_5k5GoIuzl6mvxvfyeOxMnBEtRTKRI5cH6czkB7PGAxw8tgc-PnxCnEjc_ncpoz6ISGnwHai_D/w200-h200/commnnd-general3.tif" width="200" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">General</td></tr></tbody></table></div><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: 0px; margin-right: auto; text-align: left;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNPh_K4XFiAI4MTnELB2Ph5ndi0Niu7dddziu78ty7ZOYs8PLfVZLqH5jHIPG1f7prJWG-K-4eKyRc6L7h6G4lGG3q1JVTv_CHqiL0ddWEDmLC2CshtjoZOJ-ua0k5nmqP1lfWguFzgAW0/s577/commnnd-general4-Emperor+Marcus+Aurelius.tif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="577" data-original-width="577" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNPh_K4XFiAI4MTnELB2Ph5ndi0Niu7dddziu78ty7ZOYs8PLfVZLqH5jHIPG1f7prJWG-K-4eKyRc6L7h6G4lGG3q1JVTv_CHqiL0ddWEDmLC2CshtjoZOJ-ua0k5nmqP1lfWguFzgAW0/w200-h200/commnnd-general4-Emperor+Marcus+Aurelius.tif" width="200" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Emperor Marcus Aurelius <br /></td></tr></tbody></table><br />CPBelthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06415899612539163130noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7446371720937642165.post-73708634879424122612021-05-15T19:39:00.004-04:002021-05-15T19:39:51.935-04:00New "Basic" Ancient Counters Sets<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDvXgwhrc6DS4q73K8jr2d2nmn5WvQ225G6G4S4yWcPXBFwEAYgzBGp_mx2iQ7bBqElam8nDtCi9K2Vy3SioMj3i0ZtX7sMqeCM1pPzry4SDjeYcSUFuh7SiEEBOjXZXdW-woxNTVuTuPh/s0/norman-sm.jpg" style="clear: right; display: block; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em; padding: 1em 0px; text-align: center;"><img alt="" border="0" data-original-height="245" data-original-width="175" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDvXgwhrc6DS4q73K8jr2d2nmn5WvQ225G6G4S4yWcPXBFwEAYgzBGp_mx2iQ7bBqElam8nDtCi9K2Vy3SioMj3i0ZtX7sMqeCM1pPzry4SDjeYcSUFuh7SiEEBOjXZXdW-woxNTVuTuPh/s16000/norman-sm.jpg" /></a></div>These
have long been asked for and a long time in coming. You can find these
new "basic" ancient counter sets on the <a href="https://ordinarygaming.blogspot.com/p/warmaster-counters.html">Warmaster Paper Armies</a> page.
They use the same counters from their Warmaster Ancients counterparts,
except these counters do not contain unit labels and are not grouped
into pre-made units. These sets can provide greater flexibility for
those who play other DBA-based games or for those not wanting labels on
their counters. As I post a new WMA set, I will post its corresponding
basic set. As time permits, I will create basic sets for older WMA and
Fantasy sets. (I have to rework some counters from older sets, so those
will take longer to post. Plus, I am trying to return to actual figure
painting.)

This is the third of my Dark Age paper armies from the original Warmaster Ancients core rulebook: the Norse, the Normans, and the Anglo-Saxons. All these armies fought one another. If you are playing in 10mm, all the usual sources have a line of Norse miniatures. You can find a list of 10mm manufacturers on the <a href="https://ordinarygaming.blogspot.com/2021/03/normans-warmaster-ancients-paper-army.html" target="_blank">Norman army page</a>.<br /><p></p><p></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1qhpQ-HgVd4LQB-ugh9_oI-JeKDtnvj2n/view?usp=sharing" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt="Norman Army Rules" border="0" data-original-height="252" data-original-width="175" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwBAam7qcSF0-20ZLlPnRhkhtOPcnYBa8qoiO8YRTlLlzBrUevX3OwjOCV49OMi4KI2des6rZ4BW4K1Pgfcmf9TyRM3As33CTS4Ee5WCsjFTjvxFIvMLf5fGEr_OdZ6Mq_jjFeN3acH9g-/w139-h200/norse.jpg" width="139" /></a></div><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>Norse Warmaster Ancients Army List</b></span><br />As always, you can use the <a href="http://wm-selector.appspot.com/" target="_blank">Warmaster Army Selector</a> website to create Norse army lists.

Print the counter sheets at actual (100%) size. Do not print to "fit margins." You can cut the counters and then use them how you like. If printing on cardstock, for example, 110lb has worked well for me. You could also glue the counters onto wooden stands from Litko, giving them a miniatures feel. I sized this set so each page of counters will fit on a cheap 'Silver Age' comic backing board. Spray glue the sheet onto the backing board, and then cut out the counters using a sharp Xacto knife with a steel ruler. The counters will last a long time this way.

I have really become fascinated with the Norman army. Before working on my Norman army counters, I never paid too much attention to them. Sure, I studied the Battle of Hastings in college, but I always thought the battle boring--a bunch of doomed-to-lose Saxon 'scrubs' standing in a shieldwall on top of a hill. The Super-Power Norman army at the bottom of the hill, just waiting for the Saxons to get bored and do something stupid, and then crush them. That never seemed like a fun battle to game. <p></p><p>As prep work for my Normans, I began reading more about them beyond Hastings. Long story short, the Normans began fascinating me. There were more battles than Hastings, which was more interesting than my superficial judgment.I love when this happens to me. (The same thing happened to me with Republic Rome.)<br /></p><p>All of this is my way of saying that I will be posting the set of Norman army counters by the end of the week. It will be for Warmaster Ancients, but I have other plans also. Stay tuned. </p>CPBelthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06415899612539163130noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7446371720937642165.post-56744132228658860202021-03-16T22:12:00.006-04:002023-03-12T20:17:13.196-04:00Anglo-Saxon Warmaster Ancients Paper Army<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0U0P3vRxDp8UrCk_LLTGcAv17Hn18l9LRseOJwflGh4glAglSy9HnabE-mZjaIIkg6Zddbd_85pjcrKJIPiHa1IqAdC7mRaUl9aDoJwDYQAg_7J95DBr7rMmDW-CJD9jUqe51sSAXBdnY/s855/anglo-saxon+warrior.jpg" style="clear: right; display: block; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em; padding: 1em 0px; text-align: center;"><img alt="Anglo-Saxon warrior" border="0" data-original-height="855" data-original-width="621" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0U0P3vRxDp8UrCk_LLTGcAv17Hn18l9LRseOJwflGh4glAglSy9HnabE-mZjaIIkg6Zddbd_85pjcrKJIPiHa1IqAdC7mRaUl9aDoJwDYQAg_7J95DBr7rMmDW-CJD9jUqe51sSAXBdnY/w145-h200/anglo-saxon+warrior.jpg" width="145" /></a></div>The Anglo-Saxon army in the core Warmaster Ancients rulebook covers the period from King Cnut (1016) to King Harold (1066), so the army list focuses on late Saxon England. As Rick Priestley says in the army's introduction, this is the classic style army of Harold that mostly fought up close on foot with a bit of inept cavalry. Their main enemies in the core rulebook would be the Norse and ultimately the Normans.<p></p><p>On Rick's now-gone Warmaster website, he had posted an army list for Early Saxons covering 420-885 AD, which I have. Right now, I want to get a Norman army set posted before I move onto something like the Early Saxons. Norse should even come before them.</p><p>I'll also be posting a set of Anglo-Saxon counters that don't have any Warmaster Ancients labels on them, just one counter from each unit plus the command stands. Players can use those in any rules, mixing and matching to heart's content. Stay tuned.</p><p>Most of the images in this set are from the Wargame's Foundry Anglo-Saxon 28mm set. Some others come from Gripping Beast, at least from what I remember.

You can print the counter sheer at places like Staples, using 110lb card stock paper printed at actual size. You can also print on regular paper and then glue the counters to wooden bases. (Check the older posts on how I did this with my Empire army.) Do not print the pdf to "fit margins." <b>Always print at 100%. </b> I like printing the counter sets on good copy paper, spray gluing the dull side of a 'Silver Age' comic backing board with Super 77, attaching a sheet to the board, and then cutting out the counters using a sharp Xacto knife with a steel ruler. Using the backing boards makes for cheap, sturdy counters. I like keeping the shiny side down to make moving them easier on a table.

Keen eyes might spot new Orc counters that look more like Warmaster 2000 than those in my current Orc set. To download the Chaos Dwarfs PDF, just click the images below. Same as it always is.

Grotesque hybrids of fierce animal and primitive human, these horned and stinking warrior-beasts infest the blighted forests that cover the Old World. Their savage tribes explode from the depths of the haunted woods to wage bitter war against the civilized races. So profound is the Beastmen's hatred of order and reason that they seek to drag the world kicking and screaming into a barbaric and primal age.</i> -- Warhammer 7th Edition<p></p><p>Finally, my Beastmen counter set has arrived. You can find the army list for Beastmen in Warmaster Revolution 1.1 and in Warmaster Trial Armies (2009). I think you should be able to get a 2000 point army out of these counters. Most of the images are of Games Workshop miniatures from across their Beastmen ranges. Even some old Foundry and Harlequin miniatures are in the set. As always, I try to allow gamers to customize their units (mixing and matching stands) as much as I can, which is why some units, like Dragon Ogres and Minotaurs, have more units than needed.<br /><br />I have never played Beastmen in Warmaster or Warhammer, so this was a new army for me. I know there are 10mm Beastmen out there from <a href="https://pendraken.co.uk/" target="_blank">Pendraken</a> at least. I do have some 15mm Beastmen from <a href="http://www.splinteredlightminis.com/" target="_blank">Splintered Light's</a> Kickstarter last year or so. I got those for <a href="https://ospreypublishing.com/dragon-rampant" target="_blank">Dragon Rampant</a>, but the miniatures sit unpainted. Each of the units in the 'skirmish' set I got from the kickstarter is short a few miniatures for units in DR. But that is another story for another post.<br /><br />Well, I hope some of you find this Beastmen set useful. <br /></p>

On the one hand it is a land of endless opportunity, the battle-hungry eager to carve a niche for themselves into its hallowed ground. On the other it is a bleak expanse of moorland full of pitfalls for the unwary. The army of Albion is filled with barbarian warriors and mystical creatures</i>. --"Albion Unofficial Warhammer Codex" by Mathias Eliasson<p></p><p>This set has taken me longer to complete than I had expected, mainly due to the holidays and a malaise from months upon months of lockdowns during the Coronavirus outbreak. While others used all that "down time" to crank our painted armies or binge game, my family felt the opposite. We found ourselves unable to focus much on gaming, especially since we all had to work from home every day. When we had free time, we wanted to get out of the house! In many respects, we feel like we have lost a year of our lives. I know many feel the same way. Anyway...<br /></p><p>Finally, I present the finished set of counters for Albion. Aside from a few stand-alone Albion miniatures, this is an army that Games Workshop never made for Warhammer or Warmaster that I am aware of, making it more challenging to find good images to use.<br /><br /><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>A Bit About This Set</b></span><br />Albion has a Celtic/Briton feel to it, so I borrowed some counters from my Warmaster Ancients Celt-Briton set. However, I changed how I make Chariot counters. I like seeing the entire chariot instead of just the riders. While I recycled a unit of classic Warhammer Ogres from a previous set, I also created a new set of Ogres. My favorite counter is the Druid on a Giant Eagle, though I think it might be a giant hawk. Regardless, it looks cool, and I would love to push that real miniature around the table! I hope this Albion set fits the bill. Remember, you will also need to download the separate <b><a href="https://ordinarygaming.blogspot.com/2021/01/new-giant-eagles-for-warmaster-albion.html" target="_blank">Giant Eagles for Warmaster Albion </a></b>set!<br /></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>The Future</b></span><br />I'm not sure what I'll work on next. I have bits of 10 other fantasy and historical sets I've been messing with the past few years. Republican Roman is closest to completion, which means I would have to do some enemies for them! Then there are the Beastmen and Chaos Dwarves fantasy armies. So many choices! Plus I want to get back into painting real miniatures instead of pushing digital cardboard around!</p><p></p><p></p>

In the end, I found so many new images of the newer Games Workshop eagle miniatures, mostly from <i>The Hobbit</i> line, that I couldn't choose what to use!<p></p><p><b>So, I decided to use them all</b>, allowing you all to choose which counters you want to use for your armies. You can also choose how you want to create your units. Want all three counters the same image? Okay, you got it. Want to mix and match? Okay, you got it! I like having many choices.<br /></p><p>The finished product is <b>a single, stand-alone sheet of Great Eagle counters</b>. The counters with the dark green labels are for the upcoming Albion set. The light blue labels can replace the High Elves counters I posted a while ago. Also, the new labels just say "Eagles" for style reasons--I didn't want the labels eating up images. I think we all know these are really big eagles anyway. <br /></p><p>Tonight, I realized that somewhere along the way <b>I began using two different fonts</b> for the counter labels! Most of my fantasy and historical sets use the Verdana font, while some newer sets use Tahoma. It's not really important, but I made sure these new eagle labels use the 'proper' font for that set. Tahoma is more compact than Verdana and will probably become my new default font, unless folks make a good case to keep Verdana. (I don't have the $$$ to use a fancy Adobe graphics program, relying on my trusty Paint Shop Pro instead, so tiny fonts are challenge.)</p><p><b>I hope you enjoy these counters</b> and find them useful. Let me know in the comments below. (In this post, I <i>almost </i>said 'The eagles have landed!' but I fought the temptation!)<br /></p><p>

You can print the counter sheer at places like Staples, using 110lb card stock paper printed at actual size. You can also print on regular paper and then glue the counters to wooden bases. (Check the older posts on how I did this with my Empire army.) Do not print the pdf to "fit margins." <b>Always print at 100%. </b> I like printing the counter sets on good copy paper, spray gluing the dull side of a 'Silver Age' comic backing board with Super 77, attaching a sheet to the board, and then cutting out the counters using a sharp Xacto knife with a steel ruler. Using the backing boards makes for cheap, sturdy counters. I like keeping the shiny side down to make moving them easier on a table.

Seems like he was good at lying about his age! 😄 He served in the navy on a Tin Can for four years shortly after WWII, but rarely said anything about it. He was a life-long Philadelphia Phillies and Eagles season ticket holder. He always told the story of throwing snowballs at Santa at the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1968_Philadelphia_Eagles_season" target="_blank">infamous December 15, 1968 game against the Vikings</a>. He would always shout, "And I hit him, too!" With snowballs of course. <p></p><p>My wife's mother passed away last year. After that my father-in-law began declining, with dementia taking hold of him along with frequent falls. Earlier this month, he got pneumonia and COVID-19, winding up in the hospital. We all knew what was coming next. Even though we live in Central Florida, the rest of the family in PA did a great job taking care of him. <br /></p><p></p>So I haven't gotten too much done online, especially with making more Warmaster counters. I did get the new BattleTech Beginner and Clan Invasion boxed sets for Christmas. (I picked up the main rulebook as a PDF.) My son and I used to play WizKids MechWarrior clix game, but never BattleTech. So this will be a new thing for me. The new Catalyst Games plastic mechs are amazing. More on that later.<br /><p></p><p>I hope everyone has good health and a better new year!<br /><br /></p>CPBelthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06415899612539163130noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7446371720937642165.post-22298665816060806542020-12-14T00:20:00.001-05:002020-12-14T00:20:47.348-05:00Albion, Covid, Silent Victory, and Whatnots<p></p>

</div><p><b> It's not easy teaching an old dawg new tricks!</b> It has been ages since I posted to the blog. Since all of us at the college got
thrown into online teaching this semester, my time has been consumed with
re-learning how to teach composition and literature classes as a "Remote
Synchronous Online" professor. That means I was one of the few who got to teach
live virtual classes using Zoom, Canvas, Nearpod, and who-knows-what-else.
</p><p></p>
<p>
Since August, I had been putting in 12 to 14 hour days every day learning how
to become an online prof, so I could give my students a good online
experience. I care about them, and they know it. I pray for them as a class,
and some ask me to pray for them individually. I had students going though all
sorts of problems at home. A number of them became seriously depressed and
overloaded. Some got help, others just dropped out. I feel bad for our young
adults and children. Anyway, this semester is over. Hopefully next semester
will be better. I'll still be online, but I learned a lot the past several
months.

all the Warmaster and Revolution army counter sets I'm still working on. When
I finish I counter set, I move its folder over to the <i>completed</i> set of
folders. Makes sense, right? Well, this evening I was looking through my
Warmaster folders, looked in the working folder and got confused. Albion
folder? Why is that folder still in the working section? I posted the Albion
counter set way back in summer, didn't I? As my students say, "Oh snap!" I
never posted it! Actually, I think it's complete, but I need to check the army
list to make sure. Then I need to make the counter sets. Albion before
Christmas is my goal!</p><p>As a request, I'm making a set of what I'm calling
generic counters. They won't have any Warmaster unit labels on them. Each
counter will have only one copy of that counter. They all come from my earlier sets. This way folks can print the
sheets without wasting ink on stuff they don't need because they play a
different game. I also realized that some of my counters sets are too dark,
like the Celts-Brittons set. So I've begun lightening them. I'll re-post those
sets asap. I want to make some other tweaks as well to sets. More on that
later.</p><p></p><h1 style="text-align: left;"><b>Silent Victory</b> </h1><div style="text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-left: 40px; text-align: right;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7gRyeprMjbjgxgdv4Ob42pj9Ej6TETf4WywvGuUnR_wm5-d5PW2XZ3UvZBkEIr_4AB-kRz7CmN0xD8dgGPa7uFFz4MN9nUMXMn0jE0EkIJUZJgfIa4ljFkELbTo8rnKcSFWQAgvHs2Vzc/s150/silent+victory.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="150" data-original-width="111" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7gRyeprMjbjgxgdv4Ob42pj9Ej6TETf4WywvGuUnR_wm5-d5PW2XZ3UvZBkEIr_4AB-kRz7CmN0xD8dgGPa7uFFz4MN9nUMXMn0jE0EkIJUZJgfIa4ljFkELbTo8rnKcSFWQAgvHs2Vzc/s0/silent+victory.jpg" /></a></div>Earlier this year, I got GMT's board game named Silent Victory.

is a one (or two) player board game, where the player commands a single
submarine in the Pacific during WWII. Think <i>Run Silent, Run Deep</i>. It is a very narrative game and
fulfills my love of submarine warfare. I named my sub after a real one,
the USS Plunger. I love the play one words there! <a href="https://maritime.org/doc/subreports.htm" target="_blank">Go here to download all sub reports.</a> I finished my first

Each counter on the fourth page has a small triangle pointing toward the stand's front. This can help remind players which direction the unit is facing regardless of the images on the stand. This can be useful on units like 'shock' cavalry in Warmaster Ancients because they are mounted with the short 20mm side of the stand being the front, whereas other cavalry in the game are based with the 40mm side being the front. This also helps as a visual reminder on units such as chariots or artillery, whose counter images probably won't represent the direction the unit actually is facing.<br />
<br />
Using those 'direction' counters is completely optional, which is why I placed them on a separate page. That way, if you don't want them, don't print page 4. The stands on page 4 are meant to replace their counterparts on the other pages. Is this a good idea? Should I do this for other sets? Let me know what you think in the comments section.<br />
<br />
I'd like to thank the wonderful folks at <a href="https://www.grippingbeast.co.uk/" target="_blank">Gripping Beast</a>, whose images of their Sassanid figures I use throughout this paper army to give it a unified appearance. If only they made them in 10mm or 15mm!<br />

The following is advice is from the rulebook on how to play this army: The Sassanids are a hard hitting cavalry based army burdened by a mandatory block of some of the worst infantry ever to appear on an ancient battlefield. Sassanid kings never expected much from their infantry and neither should you--so leave them in reserve of use them to secure dense terrain that is otherwise inaccessible to your cavalry. The archers can be extremely useful for forcing enemies out of position and are cheap too--but they won't last long if brought to close combat. The cavalry are capable of maneuvering to charge and will win most combats they initiate--but you have relatively few units and so can't afford to take chances. The Clibanarii's short range shooting ability is very useful but do not be tempted into using them as bowmen when you can charge instead. Their shooting ability is very useful as a defensive measure. The Elephants are too expensive to use in small battles but well worth bringing out for large battles where their high cost is off-set by the need for fewer commanders.<br />

I hope you find these paper army sets useful. You can print them at places like Staples or Kinkos, using 110lb card stock paper printed at actual size. You can also print on regular paper and then glue the counters to wooden bases. (Check the older posts on how I did this with my Empire army.) Do not print the pdf to "fit margins." <b>Always print at 100%. </b> I like printing the counter sets on good copy paper, spray gluing the dull side of a 'Silver Age' comic backing board with Super 77, attaching a sheet to the board, and then cutting out the counters using a sharp Xacto knife with a steel ruler. Using the backing boards makes for cheap, sturdy counters. I like keeping the shiny side down to make moving them easier on a table. Note: This set is designed to fit Silver Age and larger comic backing boards.<br />

One bookcase contains my Lego book collection, but that's another hobby for another day. The bookcase next to my Lego bookcase, on the shelves below the binders of my Magic the Gathering collection and other CCG's, sits my collection of miniature gaming rule books. Looking at them, I realize how small that collection looks compared to everything else in this room!<br />

<b>A Few of My Favorite Games</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
My current favorite miniature games are <b>Gaslands: Refueled</b>, <b>Lion Rampant</b>, <b>Dragon Rampant</b>, <b>Black Cross/Blue Sky</b>, <b>Napoleon's Battles</b>, and the entire <b>Warmaster </b>series. I still need a good rule set for my large Western and Gothic collection. (I've come to a point where I don't want to spend the years I have left trying to reinvent the wheel with my own set of rules.) Same for my WWII collection. I'll probably use Bolt Action with the latter.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
I just realized that I need to post some photos of a fantastic Gaslands game from last year. Another fellow put on two different games using 3D-printed scenery and other cobbled bits. They were awesome. I went on a thrift shop binge and bought a ton of old Hot Wheels and Matchboxes for the game. I need to work on them! I'll make that post later this week.</div>

<b>Finally, the Point of this Post</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
I want to call attention to an ancients game that has been around for a while but was translated into English a few years ago:<b> <i>l'Art de la Guerre</i></b> by Hervé Caille. Perhaps some of you have heard of it? It's a 240-page, full-color, all-in-one book covering everything from the dawn of time through the Late Middle Ages on every continent other than Antarctica, from what I can tell. In the US, it sells for $42.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
I never gave the game much thought because it was always out of stock. As soon as a print run hit the shelves here in the US, it was sold out. It's sold out now. A few weeks ago, Hervé graciously made the book<b> available in PDF for only 5 Euros</b>. It cost me around $7.50 after PayPal fees. That is dirt cheap! You can buy it from the <a href="http://artdelaguerre.fr/adlg/v3/?/en/ordering" target="_blank"><b>ADLG website here</b></a>.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
I highly recommend it, especially at 5 Euros for the PDF. In the future when I post an army for WMA, I most likely will create an army for ADLG as well. I'm looking at going back and converting some of my other ancient sets to ADLG as well, since it would take little work.</div>

With all the game conventions being cancelled, we'll be hosting our own ultra-mini four-day convention next week. (It's a fun way to use some of our Hilton Rewards points!) From the "chatter" I've been picking up, I <i>think </i>I'm going to get pulled into playing a game of <a href="https://www.fantasyflightgames.com/en/products/star-wars-legion/" target="_blank">Star Wars: Legion</a> from Fantasy Flight Games or <a href="https://warhammerunderworlds.com/" target="_blank">Shadespire </a>from GW. Or I could be totally surprised. I know I'll be running some <a href="https://www.funko.com/funkoverse" target="_blank">Funkoverse </a>games (imagine the Joker and T-Rex chasing The Golden Girls around their house.) I'll be sure to take photos. Hey, I'm getting back into the swing of this blog thing!</div>

It was published in Warmaster Magazine #12 (2002). The issue also featured photos of Rick's 10mm conversions of Goblin Spear Chukkas, Pump Wagon, Squig Hoppers, Squig Herders, and a Giant. Tom also wrote a page explaining the concept behind the Goblins Army list, how to play the army, and advice on not taking this army too seriously. It was meant to be fun. If you would like to read that page from the article, I have scanned it into a PDF you can download by clicking <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1gHIJclq3lVPURRLhIkSabUJOg2lrQgDZ/view?usp=sharing" target="_blank"><b>Goblin Army Tips</b></a>.<br />
<br />
Eventually, the Goblins Army list found its way into the Warmaster Trials Army pdf, minus Tom's tips. Later, Warmaster Revolution picked up the Goblins Army list, where it remains as one of the WMR official army lists.<br />
<br />
<b>Goblins v Orcs & Goblins</b><br />
My paper army for Goblins is an extension of my <a href="https://ordinarygaming.blogspot.com/2020/05/new-orc-paper-warmaster-armies.html" target="_blank">Orcs & Goblin set</a> I recently updated. The counters in both sets will work together. If you already have printed the Orcs & Goblins set, you only need to print the first two pages of the Goblins set because page 3 simply reprints counters like the Wolf Riders and Wolf Chariots from the previous set.<br />
<br />
<b>One Can Never Have Enough Gobbos!</b><br />
Even if you don't want to play a pure Goblins army, focusing on the Orcs & Goblins army list instead, page 1 of this set still might be useful if you are looking for <i>even more</i> variety in your Goblins. The two units of Night Goblins are new, as are the eight units of Forest Goblins. By the way, Games Workshop did release Forest Goblins as alternate miniatures for the Orcs & Goblins army, but I would assume they are hard to find and expensive. (I've always liked the old school 28mm Forest Goblins.)<br />
<br />
<b>To Squig or Not to Squig?</b><br />
I debated how players would depict their Squig Herds in 10mm. Would they include Goblin Squig Hoppers among the Squigs? Would they depict the units as the old Squid Herders from Warhammer? Or maybe players would just want all Squigs? Having space on the page and images on hand, I decided to a bit of both. The Squig Herd units can be all squigs. They could also have two squigs stands and a stand of Night Goblin Squig Herders, either as an un-tagged stand or a tagged stand replacing the tagged squig stand in the unit. And so on. I just didn't include any Squig Hoppers in the unit, since these are meant to be herds of squigs and not the old Warhammer Squig Hopper units. At least that is the story I'm going with!<br />
<br />
<b>A Note on Miniature Images and Making Units</b><br />
The images for the Spear Chukkas and Pump Wagon units are of the 10mm miniatures, but as I'm typing this I'm not sure if they were released by GW. I also found a 10mm Doom Diver online, but I felt that my modded image of the 28mm version worked better as a paper counter. Notice that the Doom Diver is a one-stand unit. I've included two un-tagged stands in case someone didn't want them tagged. Same with the Spear Chukkas, which are two-stand units. Those counters can be mixed and matched as desired, which is true of nearly everything I create beyond character stands.<br />
<br />
Well, I hope some folks find this Goblins Army set useful. I enjoyed creating it and finally releasing it. As always, please leave any comments, suggestions, or questions below. (I'm sorry that I've had to take anti-spam measures.)<br />

The more dominant an Orc becomes the bigger he grows so it is always easy to see which Orcs are in charge and who is boss - just look for the big guy.</i> --Warmaster Armies<br />
<br />
I wasn't planning on overhauling my Orc paper army, but it got swept up in the winds of change as I started working on a Goblin paper army set. Many of the changes are esthetic so that units like Wolf Riders and Wolf Chariots look like Cavalry and Chariot units in my current sets. I made several other style changes as well, removing some units while adding others. This will allow units in this new Orc set to work with units in the Goblin set I'm currently working on. And who doesn't like <i>even more</i> goblins!<br />
<br />
Ironically, I'm still using my old Orc paper army simply because I don't feel like cutting apart new counters. I'm <i>so</i> bad (wife says 'lazy') that I'm still using my Empire set I made 20 years ago--it looks nasty (and the counters back then were a tad smaller than regulation) but all the counters are mounted on MDF bases. I'd just rather spend time making a new army than replacing an old one. (I'm looking at those forlorn Plano boxes of Warmaster armies as I type this.) So, if you like your old Orc set, you can keep using it. Otherwise, take these 'new and improved' greenskins for a spin around the Old World.<br />

I hope you find these paper army sets useful. You can print them at places like Staples or Kinkos, using 110lb card stock paper printed at actual size. You can also print on regular paper and then glue the counters to wooden bases. (Check the older posts on how I did this with my Empire army.) Do not print the pdf to "fit margins." <b>Always print at 100%. </b> I like printing the counter sets on good copy paper, spray gluing the dull side of a 'Silver Age' comic backing board with Super 77, attaching a sheet to the board, and then cutting out the counters using a sharp Xacto knife with a steel ruler. Using the backing boards makes for cheap, sturdy counters. I like keeping the shiny side down to make moving them easier on a table. Note: This set is designed to fit Silver Age and larger comic backing boards.<br />

Harnessing much of that magic the great Vlad Von Carstein raised an army of dead from the poisoned soil and made his bid for the throne of the Empire. Thus began the Wars of the Vampire Counts in which the dead sought to overthrow the living and the Carsteins sought to rule the whole of the Empire.</i> -- Warmaster Armies<br />
<br />
This set replaces all previous versions of my Vampire Counts sets. It fixes some design issues I had with the previous set posted here two years ago, which has been deleted. The Black Coach uses two stands as it would in the miniature game, one for the horses and one for the coach. (I also modded the horses to four instead of two to better match the 10mm version.) It's also based as a Chariot Mount for the Vampire Lord and Vampire. Dire Wolves are based as Cavalry now instead as Infantry. The army has a more unified Old World Warhammer look than the 2018 version did, with many new images and better color. Plus other tweaks. I still provide non-Warmaster Archer units, but those are on the fourth page. If you don't want them, you won't have to print them!<br />
<br />
If you are using the 2018 version, there is no real need to replace it with this new set. If this is your first time using this set, I hope you enjoy it. Please leave comments, suggestions, and criticisms below. I love hearing from folks who use these paper armies.<br />
