Cards are great aids for gaming. I have started making cards for several games even for normal gaming. It really helps getting new people involved as well, as they can more easily check stats and rules.

Looking forward to seeing the Marienburgers finished, cool looking unit filler.

I know you will play this game with 9th age rules and I will not try to convince you otherwise, but I just have to say that Kings of War would very probably be a great fit for a game of this size, where having to keep track of each individual infantryman is probably not the most important thing.

Good to listen (read) how cards can improve the game!

Regarding the game system... I cannot give you my opinion abour Kings of War, because I never taste it. In fact, I'm totally focused on painting, modelling and preparing all kind of things around this battle. The truth is, 9th Age doesn't make me happy at all. But here, as well as the rest of the world community -I suppose- ald warhammer players are completely scattered in different game systemes: 9th Age, Age of ****, 6th ed., 8th ed., Kings of War, Warhammer 8.5, Manuscritos de Nuth, Warhammer Reforged, and now Rune Wars.. It's crazy.

But 9th Age goes now even and even far from 8th edition, a I don't like it. KoW has no community in Barcelona, and sicerely, I have no time -almost at this moment- to spent time learning another rulebook. And the rest are also poorly supported here.
My own opinion: I want to come back to 8th edition. Simply. But this is something I have to talk with my little gnobla... ouch! friends!

What is warhammer reforged? And manuscritus de nuth?
Spanish?

Rogers Kul · « **Reply #357 on:** May 21, 2017, 05:59:15 PM »

They are fanmade rulebooks in spanish. Warhammer Reforged is based on 8th edition (as well as Warhammer 8.5), and Manuscritos de Nuth is based on 6th edition but includes all types of new troops appeared until The End Times.
I don't tested them yet, but I prefer playing 8th edition, internationally known, before playing a system with very a narrow community.

That steam tank rider is going to hurt himself when he slides down the side of the tank.
Is that Generals on war eagles I spy behind the Coach ?

I have a spare American Bell, as per link, if she is for any use.

Is that door on a working hinge?

Would the DoW Belladonna model work?

No, he will not fall, he's a badass...

hehehe
Yes they are, pics below!
Thanks for the link, but I prefer a Citadel model on this specifical case, and, as Warlord says, Belladona seems to be suitable on that matter.

No, in fact is the rear door f the Black Coach!
Yes she will. Pep (Drakenhof), has this model. But now he's working on Naggaroth, so, I will have to sit and wait for him. And for her. Carolina Herrera.

Thanks Elswood, but this is an ancient pic! look at the page 12

Rogers Kul · « **Reply #362 on:** May 22, 2017, 08:20:07 PM »

As the eagleeye scrubber said, there are some guys on griffons out there!

You can read more about why I use these models and more pics. Hope you like it!

scrubber · « **Reply #363 on:** May 22, 2017, 09:27:30 PM »

What set is the animal head helmet from. 3rd picture down.
Another choice for the lady. Bretonnian Fay Damsel, remove sword from right hand, and have the chalice out the window for refill.

Rogers Kul · « **Reply #364 on:** May 23, 2017, 10:27:52 PM »

This head is from the Empire general/battle dtandardbearer plastic box, if I'm not wrong...
And yes, she is another possibility. In fact, Citadel range of women human models is saddly short. My options are:

- Lucrezia Belladonna
- Classic Morgana Le Fay model
- Vampire from the Coven Throne (any of them could suitable)

And no, this is not an option...

steveb · « **Reply #365 on:** May 23, 2017, 10:34:20 PM »

In regards the griffons, quantity has an inherent quality. Now when you paint them all up in your quite skilled manner they will assume a value well above their individualistic worths. steveb

Rogers Kul · « **Reply #366 on:** May 23, 2017, 10:35:16 PM »

Sorry, I can edit (don't know why, the previous post).

- Lucrezia Belladonna
- Classic Morgana Le Fay model
- Vampire from the Coven Throne (any of them could suitable)

And no, this is not an option...

Rogers Kul · « **Reply #367 on:** June 01, 2017, 07:51:19 PM »

All right. Many soldiers of the Empire around here...
Maybe it's time to let the Chaos present his last incorporation.

This is Balaal, lord of Chaos. And between his legs stands his friend... a Chaos Emperor Dragon!

Poor Baudros... seems a pet beside him...

Doc J · « **Reply #368 on:** June 01, 2017, 10:47:57 PM »

You wonder why a guy riding a dragon even bothered to bring an ax.

Artobans Ghost · « **Reply #369 on:** June 02, 2017, 12:45:02 AM »

Ambitious undertakings are quite normal for you I see😺
Looking awesome. Archeon himself would have a challenge.

Great progress all around: flock of griffons and a little dragon are only the latest highlights. This project is going from strength to strength.

Yes, that's a good point Doc...

But even with the largest lance this rider couldn't fight against anybody.

Thak you all guys. This project had entered in a difficult phase, because I have not a lot of time to work in it. But can't build an empire on a sigle day!

King · « **Reply #373 on:** June 03, 2017, 07:24:11 AM »

Great outstanding work. Can't wait to see the dragon and griffs painted

RE.Lee · « **Reply #374 on:** June 03, 2017, 08:19:08 AM »

Now you need a bigger War Altar

Impressive stuff!
