I'll be running a special event. It stars our lovable little Zombies of Karr-Keel. Obviously, Brian Kirkell and his sister in law Laura (the artist) have come up with some incredible ideas and images that Kev Adams turned into some incredible new figures. Everything about this special birthday present (yep, that is right, this all started as Brian;s big 40 celebration! - So thanks to his wife Sarah as well!) You can find out all about them at the Facebook group that Brian started <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/298963440434803/">here.</a><br />
<br />
And I think I showed this earlier, but it is fantastic - So Andrew Dyer's version of them painted <a href="http://acceptableradiation.blogspot.com/2017/03/the-zombies-of-karr-keel.html?m=1">here</a>.<br />

<br />
I was taken with the stories that Brian created for each miniature - just a project done right. So I told him I had an idea for creating an old-school scenario for them specifically. I'm going to get it all done as a pdf and release it shortly after the event. Think old school box scenario Terror of the Lichemaster or Blood at Orc's Drift.<br />
<br />
Brian had done lots of the preliminary work on all the zombies, so I've been working on heroes and buildings (drawn card buildings like the old ones!). But for an event like Oldhammer Midwest I wanted to open it up so everyone could play what they liked. So I have created the following rules for the players to create a "party" of adventurers to have fun with the zombies on the day.<br />
<br />
Basically they get to pick their race and the hero levels they want to pursue. And then they get to roll on random tables for add-on retinue (all basic stats for the attendants - so human basic stats for everyone human, Orc basic trooper stats for orcs, etc.). This should give us the mix we are looking for in the scenario at the event. I've included pdfs here and on the Oldhammer in the New World facebook group page.<br />

<br />
Then once we get the event done, and I get the images all scanned in, I will publish out the scenario box here. I want to thank Brian so much for the inspiration and all of the hard work on the zombies themselves. Thanks to his sister in law Laura for the artwork, bringing an amazing thing to life. I hope he enjoys it when I send it to him.<br />
<br />
And for those not watching - (Hey, git, Who are you?) - here is some amazing shots of the next set of the Zombies. My wallet is already crying.....<br />

<span style="font-family: "casablanca antique" , sans-serif; line-height: 107%;">The great guys at Pandemonium Games have agreed to host an Oldhammer Weekend in their store. Its in Garden City Michigan. <a href="https://www.bing.com/maps?&ty=18&q=Pandemonium&ss=ypid.YN873x13842962796781152889&ppois=42.3293533325195_-83.3315124511719_Pandemonium_YN873x13842962796781152889~&cp=42.329353~-83.331512&v=2&sV=1">(map)</a></span></div>

For this everyone will pit their warband against all other players, as we investigate the secrets, mysteries and terror that is Karr-Keel! I plan on this Saturday evening, so hopefully lots can already have some games in. I'm also going to have a limited amount of these great figures with me for you to pick up - especially if you missed your chance! </div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
I have not been posting a lot, and work and health have killed a ton of time. But remember, I started this whole thing because I wanted a cool event with like-minded Oldhammerer's and a great time. The first several have been a huge sucess, and tons of fun, but out east, and I am unable to get to them all. So here is one for our Midwest gang. Hope to see anyone who's interested in cool models, great FUN games, talking about old school history, or that game of yore you still remember. </div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
So come on and make it!</div>

Afraid I have been on forced sabbatical because I have been so busy with Life and Work. that is it. I will try to do better. Some news to come hopefully soon!<br />
<br />
However, from the far west, coming out of the sunset comes a man........<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5XNjfCFC-91aGUvZcBDI9cZlY4uEYHnPF2HtwEZYqxcJwk0S6aP3Yff3uKoa6S-qgWftB55Rj8Jtpf6-7RNyshPfiVn-c1gs7XEhu2Uy4oJXwvQcBggABv23n5JAJeicvKe5q-SRNPy4j/s1600/Saguaro_Sunset.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="212" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5XNjfCFC-91aGUvZcBDI9cZlY4uEYHnPF2HtwEZYqxcJwk0S6aP3Yff3uKoa6S-qgWftB55Rj8Jtpf6-7RNyshPfiVn-c1gs7XEhu2Uy4oJXwvQcBggABv23n5JAJeicvKe5q-SRNPy4j/s320/Saguaro_Sunset.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
The golden sun was just setting, turning the desert sky into sea of red. The undulating sky like the mad waves in a world gone mad. The sand, which the wind has scoured into us all day, settling into the nooks and crannies of our clothes. Four doomed men on our way, lost looking for any sign of the correct path. As the sun set and the land grew cooler, we knew it was time to find shelter or die in this gruesome and lonely desert.<br />
<br />
We hove to, piling into a section of rock, scoured by the wind and sand over the years, bleak bones of the earth shooting out from the constantly shifting soil. We made camp and started a fire.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdvXfQFFSE6-7XWxA0mUoh8pMdW9qHORvDQnLX86yC76U8-K3CyUwozOUXCtBEB0JpriqcaZlId7kJO61roXW6ahtHqovMsMzNKRMVqHAunpbSYItOljMXBiVI7Wi_H6E2if7cY3n7N5ub/s1600/2013-FEB-Wandering-Hero-gunfighter-2-by-davidwpaul-193x300.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdvXfQFFSE6-7XWxA0mUoh8pMdW9qHORvDQnLX86yC76U8-K3CyUwozOUXCtBEB0JpriqcaZlId7kJO61roXW6ahtHqovMsMzNKRMVqHAunpbSYItOljMXBiVI7Wi_H6E2if7cY3n7N5ub/s1600/2013-FEB-Wandering-Hero-gunfighter-2-by-davidwpaul-193x300.jpg" /></a>And then one of us noticed him. A tall, lone figure, almost gaunt approached out of the sunset, seemingly not there one moment, and then after a glaring flash of shadow passed out from the sun into our view. He made his steady way to our fire, nerve seeming to rush, nor hesitant. Just a solid character woven from the play of shadow and light in the desert.<br />
<br />
He approached and stated "Ho, The fire!" As though we were not all standing watching him come, our hands nervously twitching for holds on our weapons. But I noticed, all of my companions were reluctant to draw too close to the weapons. Afraid to test this one man against us four.<br />
<br />
Finally, I was surprised to hear someone state : "Ho, walker. Approach."<br />
<br />
I was even more surprised when I noticed it was my throat that had uttered the words.<br />
<br />
As he approached, eyeing us hardly at all, we gleaned every detail we could, from his travel clothes to the well-worn hilt protruding from his side.<br />
<br />
"So what are you all doing out here? Crossing this land and is seemingly dire straits? This is not the kinds of land to cross if you have foul intentions. And it is a foul time to read where you are not known....." he trailed off. The slide from innocent question to stark declaration, jarring in there presentation.<br />
<br />
We flinched. We looked quietly at one another. Then I swallowed and said: "We mean no harm, sir. Nor did we mean to trespass on your land, if it is. We are into bandits from the high country, or anywhere. We are just out looking for the path. The sacred path. To the Game."<br />
<br />
He sat still for a moment, the cool desert wind brushing his hair, and his dark eyes, squinted as he measured us.<br />
<br />
He smiled. then sat at the fire grabbing a stick, and lightly pushing at the coals. "Well, sit down. I have some news for you. I have a document you need to see. It will guide you to the Game, boys. It'll bring you sights and sounds of battles ages gone by...."<br />
<br />
He produced a wrapped package from his saddlebag. He gently un-wrapped it, motioning for us to get him some of our beer. And when he was finally ready, pulled out a small set of papers. An unfamiliar logo on the cover....he chuckled. And said, "Can you boys read?".<br />
<br />
Startled...for a moment, then Jebediah muttered " Not all that well...."<br />
<br />
"Well, the old man said. Let me start. "Oldhammer in the New World. The fanzine of Oldhammer in the Americas!"<br />
<br />
________________________________________________________________________________<br />
<br />
Ah, telling tale around the campfire. Of course, our "fire" is now the internet. But it is sometimes amazing to me how hard it is to sometimes find the places we need to be - often when they are right in front of us.<br />
<br />
Most of you know that I started my blog originally to have an event where we could emulate Bring Out Your Lead in Britain. We had a great event, and there have been several more, Weekends where incredible minis have been played across great fields, and like minded people have been able to gather for beers and talk. It could not be better.<br />
<br />
Always one problem though. While the UK is tightly packed with gamer, and has had Games Workshop stores in just about every major community. The US (and indeed the Americas since we include our Canadian Brethren) is just HUUGE in comparison.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/1497734030471482/">We established Oldhammer in the New World on face book</a> and it has now grown to over 300 members. But we also constantly find people on the Oldhammer community pages that are in the US or Canada, and yet have no idea we try to hold events, or share pics and ideas on our North American page as well.<br />
<br />
The people we have met through these events stay in touch, host other games in basements and stores, and continually spur each other on for more hobby all the time. Of course, these guys I have met also have long running discussions, that have continued to make me laugh and try for more all the time. I mean, long running jokes bind us all together.<br />
<br />
One of those gentleman, who lives way out west and has now attended events out East, probably earning the farthest traveled Oldhammer member in the US in the process is Sean T. Squires. You can find his <a href="https://seanswgcorner.blogspot.com/">blog here</a>. Like <a href="http://givemlead.blogspot.com/">AirborneGrove26</a>, he has given us some incredible battle reports using <a href="https://plasq.com/apps/comiclife/macwin/">Comic Life</a> (which even has a 30 day free trial) making our battles come alive as comics.<br />
<br />
The humor they put into these things are incredible and they have a great "Oldhammer vibe". And they really highlight some of what we are getting up to over here on this side of the pond.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhQfKBSzFDgIZzTHV3jL3vsLQ2A9eoYsyv-dXax8kbZZpVTHU7jG054sWVjHLmaugjp4vn7V_PO4h7glQ-R6EvqzAA5kjw6AjRaMvOVcXPHtmZLBlyr5Ewdz-SHp1GXucSAi7zvGox5CwR/s1600/Screenshot+%252866%2529.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhQfKBSzFDgIZzTHV3jL3vsLQ2A9eoYsyv-dXax8kbZZpVTHU7jG054sWVjHLmaugjp4vn7V_PO4h7glQ-R6EvqzAA5kjw6AjRaMvOVcXPHtmZLBlyr5Ewdz-SHp1GXucSAi7zvGox5CwR/s320/Screenshot+%252866%2529.png" width="320" /></a></div>
But Sean wanted to show more. He wanted to try to do a Zine. That is right, one man in a desert, having to travel for any games, has been quietly working on his project and has finally released it into the world. He has placed this on the files page for Oldhammer in the New World's facebook page.<br />
<br />
So in order to get this new cool zine - <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/1497734030471482/">come on over</a>. Once you are accepted you can see what we have been getting up to in the Americas! If you are new to America and have some cool models to show off, get some info to Sean, he is currently looking for more submissions for issue 2 and beyond!<br />
<br />

<br />
As an aside: Why do we find these things so much fun (besides the great people we have met?) At the first Oldhammer Weekend, I had several "extras" I had brought with me, and I was able to get Andrew Dyer a giant ogre. Later on - I was able to see that ogre (who had been in my collection since 1990's beautifully painted. <a href="http://acceptableradiation.blogspot.com/2016/10/another-oldhammer-day-is-in-books.html?spref=fb">You can see that here and Andrews blog as well.</a><br />
<br />
Of course, event blogs were all over the place over the last big Oldhammer Weekend but before I could even post this - some already got together for another meeting in a deep dungeon....But here are some blogs to follow for that info:<br />

<br />
<a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/1497734030471482/requests/">But come on over to the facebook group, and You will see more posts by artists like Lissane Lake, and some great old figures by Dave Matalon (who is currently hoping to find more Oldahmmerer's in the LA area! See Thomas I. Rabbits incredible units! Chris McCandless who puts up so many great shots of games with Rusty Gouldman (man I wish I was closer!)

Gorgeous minis/units painted up - Games played, stories of old figures found, How to get that pesky paint off a just bought treasure on ebay. It is because of these members and many more not listed (sorry I can't list EVERYONE) that this has truly become a special place on the net to go and unwind.</a><br />

Your "Top Ten Dream" figures, predominated by things like the Chicken Dragon, The Citadel Giant, The Dwarf Juggernaut, and others. For some this might include the other dragons, like the Great Spined Dragon, or The Emperor Dragon. and if you get one of these gems, there are always more to fill the list back up!<br />
<br />
Then there are the "current needs lists". The items you need for that force you are collecting, That figure in the scenarios that you are preparing, the old school McDeath search, and others. These are the ones you troll on eBay and the trading sites hoping to find them in a job lot or a reasonable deal with a fellow Oldhammerer. Most of these, while not as rare as some others, are very pricey in the real world, and stupendously stupidly priced in the BIN world of eBay. 67 pounds for an infantry sized figure....we all know the type.<br />
<br />
And then there are "The Ones". they have been in several catalogs. you know they exist. this is not the Nuln Spearman. These are "regular models". But for some reason, YOU can't find them. Long ago you found it existed, and you even tried to order sleeves through a store. Buying 12 blisters to get your hands on this one figure....only to find out the sleeve you got, didn't have him. Maybe he is rough on the mold, so he is "out of service" a lot. I used to think maybe he was just hard to come by in the states. That if only I had a friend in England, I could have a ton of them.Maybe you finally find one, and he won't sell it to you. Maybe your local store never got more than one, and someone bought it, and every reorder went unfulfilled. But the thing is it isn't supposed to be rare, or limited. But for you it begins to be a quest. For a VERY long time my top little figure that I wanted most was this guy: Shown here in the <a href="http://www.solegends.com/citcat198704cja/index.htm">Citadel Journal Spring 1987 </a>version. He's listed here as Bombost. Thank you for all catalog images from Orclord at <a href="http://solegends.com/citadel/index.htm">Stuff of Legends</a>, And especially thank you since he is currently updating and adding on to this glorious resource!<br />

Now some of you have three of him, or have traded several. Well good for you. That is kinda my point. For me here in the USA, he WAS rare. Here he is in the <a href="http://www.solegends.com/citcat1988/index.htm">1988 Catalog</a> and the <a href="http://www.solegends.com/citcat1991b/index.htm">1991 Red Catalog (Part 2 of the 1991 catalogs)</a> known by the number 01 and then Axe 17. Man, you really don't know how long I searched for Axe 17. I did meet Mark in Dayton OH, and he had one....so at least I knew he was "real" in that he existed and was sold. Though, of course, Mark only had one and would not sell him to me. I didn't blame him.....wait, yeah I did!<br />

I even went to work at GW in mid 90's (which is not too long after this article appeared!). The metal room was a collector's dream. But guess what? No Axe 17's to be found! Even when bits was working! I even looked at the metal room in the UK, but whether due to time or mislabeling, I never could find him.<br />
<br />
And then, you got White Dwarf 135. And Wayne England not only had multiples in his Longbeard unit, he converted one to be the standard. Oh, how I wanted enough of him so I could do that!<br />

And of course, a few months later in White Dwarf 144 we found out he used even more in his Clansmen unit!<br />

So You have this model you desperately want. and you need more than one!<br />
<br />
I did eventually find this guy, if memory serves me I finally found someone willing to part with him back in 97 or 98... (after 10 years or so!) I got one that had been primed white. Blue in Vt helped me get my second one not very long ago, and I am still on the lookout for more! Does anyone know, is there a reason this guy seemed rarer (without the rareness of limited edition stuff)? Are there tons across UK and Europe, and he was only rare in the US? Or was he pretty regular, and only seemed rare to me.<br />
<br />
One other thing about this little guy, back in that Citadel journal he was named as Bombost, but on his tab, it actually displays "Bombo". Just so you know.<br />
<br />
As many of you know, we recently lost Wayne England. I only got to meet him once long ago, though I believe beer was involved, it was his sense of humor that always stayed with me (even before the beer!). I was lucky enough to get back in touch with him, and that led to us having the Wayne England T-shirts and Prints available at the Second USA Oldhammer Weekend!<br />
<br />
I helped sell a modest amount of Prints and Shirts, but even better got to start talking to Wayne. He was even kind enough to send me some original drawings from his Earl series. I know how excited he was to think of them as minis, and he even mentioned sending me some. I was planning on making a 3 part frame, 2 for the artwork he sent me and a small box so I could put the unit on display with the art. Kind of a triptych of design and finished product.<br />
<br />
I do hope that someday we will get to see Earl become a reality in metal, but obviously there are a lot more important things.<br />
<br />
So I wanted to do something else. My plan is to recreate Wayne's Longbeard unit, and I'll put them in the box to go with the original artwork he was so kind to send me. For many of us Oldhammer's that White Dwarf 135 launched 1000's of dwarf armies around the world. Just check out Bugman's and you are amazed of how many first found their love for Dwarfs after viewing that magazine. The Oldhammer Community has discussed this many times before: See Orlygg's Realm Of Chaos 80s:<br />
<br />

<br />
So I plan on recreating that unit (with my own poor painting skills) and this is the first Project Blog. So first, I have to figure out how to get a hold of the miniatures, and which ones I need.<br />
<br />

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And there it is in its glory. One note. I know that Wayne sold this army off to someone. I also know he regretted it. I mean, when I started talking to him, I just had to ask. But he didn't seem to remember who he sold it to (at the time we were chatting at least). So if you know where it is, or who has it, please let us know. I am pretty sure we would all love to get some photos of it and some individual minis. But it would be nice to just know it is safe.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
But I tried as best as I could to map out the unit and the models that Wayne used in creating them. Going through the catalogs and flyers and things I came up with the following list. I tried to use the Red Catalog from 1991 (Citadel Miniatures Catalogue Part two), since it is the one most of us froth over. There were a few surprises as well. But here is the list: (here is a <a href="https://www.scribd.com/doc/311214090/Waynes-Longbeard-Unit-Wd-135-Updated">pdf</a> so it is clearer)</div>

<br />
The first thing that was not a surprise since I have always memorized that guy on the upper left, was my old friend Bombo, and of course, he is there again with the banner! Second the third guy in from the left in the front row.....I couldn't find him. Orclord pointed out he is a known unlisted one shown here on <a href="http://www.collecting-citadel-miniatures.com/wiki/index.php/File:Unlisted_Imperial_Dwarf.jpg">Collecting Citadel Miniatures Wiki</a>! After quite a while of searching it was nice to have Orclord find this, so thanks! The other mystery I had was the one in the back row, fourth from the left. I couldn't see the duck head in any of the catalog pages I had at hand. Blue in Vt confirmed he had one, but I was trying to find him in the catalogs. We did finally find him in the 1988 Catalog on page 308. The rest are scattered across the pages of the Red Catalog. I also had to kinda guess at the guy on the upper right corner, as he is pretty obscured. I think I made a good attempt. If anyone sees any mistakes I made, please get in touch so I can correct it.<br />
<br />
I have a ton of dwarfs, though some are painted, and some are partially painted, I don't have too many that are clear, so I am trying to treat myself a little, and buy all new models for the unit. Then I'll get them painted up, and ready for that display.<br />
<br />
But anyone have any Axe17's to spare?<br />
<br />
<br />
Do you or did you have a non-rare/available/released model that you just couldn't find? What was it, did you find one eventually? Still looking? Let us know.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Also - I still am working on the Stuff of Legends Big Game write up from Adepticon. LOTS of pictures to sort out the good ones that show the action....but it is coming!Kaleb Hordeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18279279669165070169noreply@blogger.com12tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1128701124469844280.post-35451787289906810962016-04-24T09:08:00.000-07:002016-04-24T09:09:05.550-07:00Way back machine - And we are back.<h2 style="text-align: center;">

Hello, Been a while, and life gets in the way. Almost died twice, but recovering. so here is something very cool for anyone who used to order mail order long ago. Along with your White Dwarf Subscription you could get copies of the Black Sun. The post cost being what they were, I never got he subscription but I had heard of these at a convention a long time ago in the late 80s. But Black Sun was a way for them to push new products in mail order share a few laughs and discuss with the "pack" of Subscribers! After all, if you subscribe you were just as mad as they were!<br />
<br />
Games Workshop USA in the late 90's also put out the Troll magazine with White Dwarf to subscribers, including things like conversion of the month and special deals on figs (or at least packages).<br />
<br />
I'm including scans of Issue 2 (Sept/Oct 1984). I believe due to the discussion about Origins that this one is from 1984.The credits state it was put together by Steve Williams And Robert Neville with Illustration by Trevor Hammond. Clive Thompson, Ian Marsh and Marc Gascoigne assisted with Shelagh Dwyer doing the layout. It was short lived, but lets see what is in there:<br />
<br />
This is a bit different, as it was more about what Games Workshop was selling through their mail order back in 1984, so covers Star Trek, Ringworld and a whole host of other things. However, some sharp art by Mr, Hammond, some great joke pages, and it does capture that feeling of the 80s. The same sense of humor gave us a lot of the greatest moments in Warhammer!<br />
<br />
I'm sure some of the other issues mention the figures, or Warhammer itself. But here we go:<br />

OK, so some memories from the mid-80s for those of us who were alive back then. And maybe something you have never seen. this remains the only issue of Black Sun that I have personally owned, and I have no idea how many their actually were. I'm not sure if this team made a bunch or if someone else had to take over. I do think Mike Brunton and Tim Pollard might be able to answer some of this.<br />
<br />
I know there are more of these out there, and I'd love to see some copies of them. So if you have them please get in touch with me.<br />
<br />
Below are the links to the PDFs Laid out. You have to print them back to back, then fold them in half as a "magazine". But they are better quality then the jpgs I put in this piece. Enjoy. And if you have any others, please send me a message in the comments below or scans of yours!<br />

On the other front, We just had a great few days of gaming at Adepticon where "Orclord" from Stuff of Legends, Rusty and Caius (of the building goblin Doom Diver that was not allowed to fire!) hosted an incredible game with Orcs rampaging across the river at the Stalwart Empire (Damn those guns!). I can't do it justice on this post, so I plan another for the game itself, but here is just one picture: (I will state though I could only attend 1 day for crappy reasons, it was a BLAST!)<br />

I started this blog a long time ago, in order to try to get some kind of get together for Oldhammer here in the States. I've been lucky enough to meet some great people, get together and have some great times and games! Congrats on doing the same Spain! So glad to see this still growing. Now my next blog is almost done. Its been hard, but I think it will be worth it!

These are available for 15 pounds each, and you can also request numbers for these as well, first come first serve on the numbers. (Shipping to England for the prints is 3.99 in UK, 4.99 in EU and still checking on US shipping)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I'm taking down the pre-orders for the USA event, so that we can try to get it in one shipment, save on shipping, and also, save some time for Wayne. I already have orders for quite a few shirts and prints. Wayne is going to have some examples to show off in a week of so of the shirts. We will have to make our arrangements to allow for shipping time, so I'll announce deadlines soon, though Wayne will have them to sell until they are gone. I'll be able to update this one the prices of the shirts as soon as Wayne has his samples and prices from the printers. Note, these are the prices from Wayne, we are not adding anything for the Oldhammer event, which is why we'll have to figure out shipping, etc. To get your name on the list, email me <a href="mailto:OldhammerInTheNewWorld@outlook.com" target="_blank">here</a>!</div>

I'd also like to mention Graeme Davis, one of our special guests last year, who was wicked with the dice rolling in the big siege game. He recently put together lists of all of the work he did on <a href="https://graemedavis.wordpress.com/2015/05/01/my-complete-and-utter-warhammer-bibliography/" target="_blank">Warhammer</a> and <a href="https://graemedavis.wordpress.com/2015/06/03/my-complete-an-utter-warhammer-40000-bibliography/" target="_blank">Warhammer 40k</a>. Incredible bibliographies! But he also added one great article for his blog : <a href="https://graemedavis.wordpress.com/2015/06/08/warhammer-prehistory-find-the-lady/" target="_blank">Warhammer Prehistory: Find the Lady!</a> Great to get another peak behind the scenes on the influences, both cultural and personal that went into the games we love. Included in this post are links to Coop's blog post about this topic on <i>Fighting Fantasist, </i>as well as a link to the Find The Lady pdf itself. Please also note the comments in these as Paul Cockburn, Phil Gallagher, Graeme and others make some great comments and their own views! Not sure it is in the comments, but saw on Facebook that Mike Brunton also did the maps for his (not sure if that is mentioned elsewhere, but want to give credit where it is due)! Enjoy!</div>

This year we have a hotel Conference hall in Allentown, Pennsylvania reserved for three days, August 7th-9th! The crew have some tremendous games planned, and we are going to have more games, more types of games, and even a bunch of Open Tables for any type of game! And its all going to be open much, much later for late night gaming, drinking, trading and everything!<br />
<br />
The group learned a lot from last year, and we've added some great events, as you'll see listed in the agenda below. We've added times for Specialist Games, Trading Table, Vendors, and more! You can find out most of the details by visiting the Event Page on Facebook - <a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/391171987718029/" target="_blank">Oldhammer In The New World 2nd Annual Event</a>.<br />
<br />
Here is just some of the events planned:<br />
<br />
The Bretonnian Frog Hunt by Brian Kirkell, where Charlve the Insatiable needs your help in gathering as many giant frog legs as he can!<br />
<br />
We have the Awesome Rogue Trader Demo by He of Three Names returning and getting even bigger and better!<br />
<br />
There is going to be a massive Event Series by Orclord again - this time it starts with a river crossing and ends with a Siege! If you saw last year's game, this should prove even more EPIC! You'll want to be there to see this awesome display of miniatures as an Orc invasion once again threatens the Empire!<br />
<br />
We are going to also have the painting competition return with more categories and an awesome prize for the best - Courtesy of our host vendor - <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/1620671271500271/" target="_blank">The End of The World Terrain and Products, LLC.</a><br />
<br />
One really cool new table is being built by Brian Kirkell and it is going to host a great new game - "Remember the New Alamo!". This Rogue Trader game for 10 players has an actual 28mm scale Alamo at its very heart!<br />
<br />
You want Rogue Trader Madness? How about an Arts and Craft Table : Making a Deodorant Tube Hover Tank! Bring your cool beginning....in this we will supply materials until they run out (but feel free to bring your own!) Build your "Priestley" tank! What's more, build it on Friday, paint it on Saturday and take part in the ultimate Hover Tank Death Match to see who's Hover Tank reigns supreme!<br />
<br />
Come see the "Oldhammer History" table, full of glorious products from the past! But please don't touch, the watch dogs are very well trained and hungry!<br />
<br />
There will be Open Gaming, The Trading Tables (just awesome stuff trades hands!), Repair Station, a Painting Table, and more!<br />

I'll be posting more soon - Going to get some pictures of all of the buying I have been doing in preparation for this great weekend! - Cheers!Kaleb Hordeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18279279669165070169noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1128701124469844280.post-85331947054038115972014-11-02T07:27:00.001-08:002014-11-02T09:47:57.712-08:00If you build it.....Oldhammer USA weekend!For those that have known me a long time, they know that I have always been crazy about the old school citadel miniatures and products. When I worked there, not only did I buy tons of the new stuff, but I was always on a mission to track down an old product or two ;)! So I've always been a follower of the old school vibe, and when I saw <a href="http://www.realmofchaos80s.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">Realm Of Chaos 80s</a> and others, it was right up my alley. But then they had an event - <a href="http://realmofchaos80s.blogspot.co.uk/2013/09/bring-out-your-lead-first-oldhammer.html" target="_blank">Bring Out Your Lead</a> - and I got very jealous. Its ok, getting jealous is the sign of the truly passionate collector, or so I have been told. But this was just too much. I wanted a weekend, a game, just a time to get together with some others who would be willing to lay out some old stuff, play, trade, have a great time. I started this blog with this in mind. Its why it is called Oldhammer in the New World after all.<br />

<br />
At first I struggled, how could I get a group together? Who could I get that would be able to host big games? Where would this thing be - after all I am in the arctic north of Michigan - basically a state entirely made up of peninsulas. When could we have it? Sure, some of these are basically challenges that most events have, but unlike the UK, the USA is a rather large place. Could we get enough people in one location to make it an event, instead of just some friends getting together to game? Absolutely nothing wrong with that, but we wanted something cool, something bigger than just one game.Also, where would be big enough to host it, willing to do so, and have some connection for us? Of course, BOYL 2014 was being planned at Foundry, again. So we knew they were going to have all of the cool things that you get there: great space, good food, Bryan Ansell's amazing collection. you know, ho-hum. :)! Seriously, the pictures from year one were enough to make me drool, and my wife to think I am more nuts than normal. So what could we do that would even come close? Well, Luckily for me, several of my ex-GW colleagues have started a store in the old Baltimore Bunker location - Dropzone Games - managed by Tom Gruhala, who used to manage the old Battle Bunker. You have to believe me, I KNOW these guys know how to run a store, and events, and just about everything in between. And they are in the old US factory, so there is some connection to me at least to old school. Luckily Tom was willing to let me schedule it with him when I wandered out of the crowd, stumbling on my cane at Adepticon - a perfect example of an Oldhammer figure myself - crazy and deranged and going on about this great event. <br />
<br />
I started talking to Rusty over a year ago about all of this and I also sent Richard Hale (Orclord from StuffofLegend) an email asking if he could attend or run a game. Where, When, Who? just went over and over. And I got some great advice from Orlygg himself - just make the date. If they can they will. So we planned it to make sure BlueinVt could make it, Rusty and I could make it, and we had our date. Tom was willing to set aside the date - and - now we just had to make the thing.<br />
<br />
Of course then we had to start getting ideas for games together. Rusty wanted to do a Warband game, and I wanted a siege to be there (I believe my term was a big, freaking siege game ;) ). Luckily at this time, Andrew Dyer got on the forum and offered to run the painting competition. I was also able to get a friendly guy on the forums offer to run a Rogue Trader game. This was perfect as I knew I would be pretty busy, and then we could have a great RT game as well. Of course, the man with three alias's confused us all a bit by talking about his game so that we thought there were two games ;) Don Sargent wanted to set up his 3D Space Hulk board, which was another cool addition! Then Richard let me know he had his siege game, and he'd bring it along!<br />
<br />
So we went from an idea to several people hosting games. My wife commented that anytime I talked about October, I'd get a smile on my face. So no matter what we had our little event to look forward to - but then doubts start creeping in. What if I throw this party and I am the only one who shows up? (Ok, I knew Rusty was going to be there, but what if it was just those of us running games?) How many people are going to travel far enough? Several people were SO enthusiastic, but always ended comments with "if I can go" or "maybe". Rusty set me straight on this - "if it is just us, we will all have fun playing some games". So thanks, buddy for holding my hand through all of that!<br />
<br />
All of this was made worse by my new position - where I am currently under training- so I could not have any of the leave I had planned (originally to sell this to my wife and family it was going to be a trip to Washington DC for them, and my event for me ;) ). I was going to have to leave at 5pm Friday night - when we had planned on getting there at 6pm! Rusty had a bit of surgery, and then he caught an infection, so he went back into the hospital just days before the event! The whole thing was scary, and I was worried - about to go sideways. I left Friday night finally convinced I would at least make it, even if I would not arrive in Baltimore until 6:30 am! Rusty calling to joke that noone but he was there did not help ;) I'd also like to point out that my copilot Kyle went to sleep at 10pm, and did not even wake up when I almost drove off the rode several times in PA and WV! By the time I got to my friends house it was 7:15, and I finally laid down for a bit at 8:00. A partial undead, I wandered to my car and headed out for the day, still wondering just what would happen.....<br />

Tom and the crew had us all set up and everything prepared! We had tables (with Richard furiously putting out models for his Siege game), and space and chairs. It was just great! To give you an idea, at the same time that we were setting up our side, Tom was also getting a Warmachine tournament together (and while regular readers of my blog have little idea of what that curtails, it is some form of miniatures game, kinda like a shadow, and somehow requires lots of metal, cards and white things). In the ends, I think Tom was pretty happy with the fact that we brought our own terrain, could set up ourselves, and be pretty self reliant! At least I hope he was happy - we wanna do this all again, ya know?<br />

We had planned on setup and meet and greet time on Saturday morning, so our first games were scheduled for 11:00. This gave us some time to enjoy Rusty's warband table, Don's 3d Space Hulk pieces, and basically all sit around and wonder at Richard's big game. In fact we all really wanted to help him, but I think we were all nervous about his models (getting the figs out and into their boxes is one of the most dangerous parts)! But we had our group of core guys, and when Andrew and then Darrin Stephens (he of three names) showed up with a great Rogue Trader table, we were well on our way. I'm going to put a lot of pics up in a few future posts, but I just wanted to say a few thanks first:<br />
<br />
Thank you to Tom, Dan, Josh, and the whole Dropzone Games Crew! We all had a blast, are so very thankful for you allowing us to be there, you had a great place for our event, treated us so incredibly well (even opening early Sunday!) and I only hope you enjoyed it and we baought enough paint and snacks to keep you happy! Thank You!<br />
<br />
Thank you to Richard Hale, Orclord of Stuff of Legends fame! I asked for a big freaking Siege game.....and you more than delivered! It was huge, and for those who did not see it in person, not only was it just impressive in size, but all of the figures are just so pretty! While a lot of groups have done big games before, I have never seen a larger, more well painted display by any one person - the Perry's after all are two people! ;) Thanks so much - this was the HUGE game we needed for it to be an event, rather than just a group of old guys swapping lead!<br />

Thank you to Chris Stephens, Darrin Lopez, Bulldogstephens...or what ever your real name is. We now all know that you must be wanted by a lot of people for that many alias's and that you put on one kick-ass game! I do hope that Bryan see those pictures of your Cult and limo - it would be so cool for him to comment on it! Thanks for bringing the Rogue Trader and getting us all so jones'd about doing something cooler next year! And we have to throw down next time!<br />
<br />
Thanks to Andrew Dyer for running the painting competition, helping sort out all of that took a huge load off my mind! Getting Dave and everything set was just a job well done! I know mine was not too great this year, I just promise better paint job from me next time! A job well done, and without enough credit - so Thank you!<br />
<br />
Thank you to Don Sargent - the 3D board was terrific and gave people something smaller and fun to play in the wee hours! Great stuff, and I can't wait to play it myself soon! Thanks also for the great attitude, great laugh, and just a joyous look. It was how I felt all weekend - and I can not wait for more! - but may have been too tired to express. Thanks!<br />
<br />
As for event hoster's - I also want to Thank Rusty Gouldman! What can we say? His own personal bout with Nurgle, surgeries by some Mad Doc, infections, long travel, exhaustion, medicine that knocks out horses.....and he was still there throwing dice and having fun! The board you made was brilliant, it was so great to play the Warbands game over it, the buildings...the trolls under the bridge, just crazy! Even if the cats won't let your stuff alone! Thank you bud, this all would never have happened without you pushing to make it happen. Thanks so much!<br />
<br />
For everyone who showed up to see, play, trade, drink, whatever - thank you! I had a great time seeing Steve and Vincent's love for all of this stuff (I'm sure having Dad's cool models to look at won't hurt!) Playing Thomas and Ken in Warbands, Running the Siege Empire against Dons and Kyle, Seeing such great painted models, BlueinVT for bringing so much along to show off! Just thanks to everyone! <br />
<br />
Of course we had some extra special guests and others to thank as well -<br />
<br />
Mr. Graeme Davis was kind enough to let me know he definitely wanted to attend, and I've been pretty thrilled ever since! So thank you so much! It was great having you there, hearing some of the cooler bits of the good old Workshop days, and even hearing about those 19 one's against Bryan! Thanks for being so excited to join us, and it was a thrill to see you throw some dice and save my bacon at the Siege game! Thank you!<br />

<br />
Mr. Phil Gallagher was also kind enough to say he would come, and that has just been great to know - after all this is the guy who invented Sigmar and Karl Franz! But seriously, thanks for coming and sharing, I hope it was a bunch of fun for you! I'm also glad we could get you two together after 24 years - I sure hope it is not that long again!<br />
<br />
As I said in our little post event speech, Thank you both so much! For a lot of us, this was our childhood, our Thunderbirds, and where a lot of our concepts, dreams and imagination sprang from, thanks so much for helping by giving us all you did!<br />
<br />
Mr. Dave Taylor - thanks so much! It was great to see you at Adepticon, but when I heard Andy had roped you into judging, I was not sure if you knew what you were getting into! Thanks for the mention on your blog, Its such a huge draw from the more modern stuff, but tons of people ahve been checking us out because of it - so thanks! Also, great job on judging, well deserved champs and I really appreciate it! Thanks also for the kind words to Kyle about his painting! It means more coming from you, and you gave him so much to work on, I know he's just bound to get better and better. But a 15 year old getting advice one on one from a Golden Demon winner is just about priceless, and he is already adding some of the things you mentioned to his Azhag model! Thanks for everything!<br />
<br />
I also want to personally thank Bryan Ansell and Kev Adams for the BOYLdrick models for our event! It was just incredible, and I was happy to give as many away over the weekend as I could! They have all found happy homes, and I am just so thankful! To all of the stories in our heads, the incredible idea and passion of Realms Of Chaos, and the incredible history of those wonderful Orcs. Just thank you - I sure hope to support all that stuff you have planned from Foundry! But thanks for this - it was an incredible gesture, and we are ALL so happy and thrilled - Thanks!<br />
<br />
Also, of course, thanks to my family and wife, who not only let me go on this crazy adventure with Kyle at my side, but put up with all the crazy planning and painting for it!<br />
<br />
<br />
Here are some interesting facts of our weekend:<br />
We had 5 very cool games, a painting competition, pickup games at a great place!<br />
We had 31 attendees (not counting the hosts and guests)<br />
Countless drinks and snacks were consumed<br />
Richard's Big Siege game almost ran Tom out of tables ;)<br />
Each of Richard's bins holds 270 infantry or 130 cavalry. (1000s of figs on the table)<br />
Those bins leave just enough room for one Richard in a Volkswagen station wagon. <br />
We had attendees whose average drive/travel time was 6 hours. (isn't that the length of the UK?)<br />
It takes 14 hours to get there from my house.<br />
Rick H made it all the way from Hawaii (surely the longest travel for any Oldhammer attendee anywhere!)<br />
Teenagers can sleep through just about everything - including the car leaving the road no matter how many Red Bulls they drink.<br />
Hundreds of figures were seen, traded, collected.<br />
All leftover BOYLdricks are being sent Southward to our brothers down under - Thanks to Martin Ansell for that!<br />
<br />
And:<br />
<br />
Plans are already in the works for MORE, BIGGER and BETTER next year! Can't wait!<br />
<br />

<br />
But I was working on something in the background as a surprise for our event, and I want to be able to share: we have had some special templates made, thanks to the incredible, indomitable Zhu!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjHbJZjTqERKFjAddHlFVQw9GFGGldKxxG66HcynWgjSdr5EqhZ_2aYmJvgaywVexPAj5HyDpFyOjUI3lVVtssXYS2T3Xnpg-zv01EwvHG39fe_gaofRTjsPuXneD59x8nuWkZHF5-xWEL/s1600/oldhammer-template-sets.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjHbJZjTqERKFjAddHlFVQw9GFGGldKxxG66HcynWgjSdr5EqhZ_2aYmJvgaywVexPAj5HyDpFyOjUI3lVVtssXYS2T3Xnpg-zv01EwvHG39fe_gaofRTjsPuXneD59x8nuWkZHF5-xWEL/s1600/oldhammer-template-sets.jpg" height="640" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
These are really well done templates done by Alex of Ironheart Aritsans!
These are hard plastic, printed templates. They are the Stonethrower
template right from the 3rd ed book, the big template. we are going to
probably do more over the course of a few years, and we can all have a
set of great templates! He made the upper white one because Zhu wanted the "feel" of ancient wood!<br />
<br />
Now, part of this is to let everyone have a chance to get them. So we are going to drop them to some helpful souls who have agreed to send them on to their final destinations. Basically to save us all shipping, I'm going to drop ship them to someone in UK (or a couple of someones to share the <strike>pleasure</strike> pain ;) ) who are going to be nice enough to send them on to their final locations....shipping will be much less if we can send them out in bulk from here to UK, Australia, Asia, etc.<br />
<br />
<br />
They are going to be $10 a piece with 4 dollars shipping in US (like a DVD - avg price), and 8 dollars for international. The international ones are going to be bulk mailed to a consenting <strike>victim</strike> volunteer, who will then ship them out to those closer to him (ie, inside the EU is a lot cheaper to ship than from US). If you have received anything from here, then you know this is actually a bit cehaper, because we are sending one big box, and then small envelopes from there!<br />
<br />
Alex and Zhu are going to be paid, and everyone will cover their shipping, and no profit will be made by me on these templates. Make sure to send it to me through Paypal so I do not get charged the fees (is it private or gift, i forget). But I am not making any money off of these, if I get all the fees, then I won't have enough to ship them all out!<br />
<br />
The only money made will be two talented people who deserve it, and the postal services....though they may not deserve it right now. You can order a complete set if you would like, one of each color, order two blues, etc. Alex has been kind enough to let us do a preorder and he is going to print them on Demand.<br />
<br />
I'm offering them for preorder starting with this post, and we will cut of orders on Nov. 30th (which is the weekend after Thanksgiving here in the states, and then I can ship them out, hopefully in time for Xmas! If I get enough for two runs, we will do one on Nov. 15th and another for Nov. 30th. So if you order early you can almost be guaranteed of getting them in time (I don't guarantee postal stuff - especially after UPS and FedEx issues last year!)<br />
<br />
------> EDIT<-----------<br />
These are on Alex's Print On Demand Queue so he can do a run next week, any orders done by Monday will ship out the following week. I'll be taking orders from those at Oldhammer, and then they will print and ship. Other orders will need to be to me by Nov. 30th for a second run. Good news, you can get them sooner, but you have to order quickly.<br />

Our guest judge Dave Taylor is also part of that project! I told you Zhu was incredible and indomitable!</span></span></span><br />
------------->EDIT<---------- <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
If you order a complete set the shipping for US should only be 7 dollars at most, and for International it would only be $12 dollars.<br />
<br />
So as an example, Zhu wants one set, of 4 templates, its $47 if he lives in US, and $52 if he is in the UK - or about 33 pounds (depending on day). It would be just over 41 Euros, or just under 60 Australian dollars. (those were current as of this post, for other conversions or to make sure these are current, please do your own conversion). Remember, please make sure to send it to me without fees. I do not want to have a nightmare and have no money to ship these. These are the prices for drop shippable countries (which should include UK, EU, Australia) for other countries I'll have to make other arrangements - but you will only pay exact shipping.<br />
<br />
OK - have two sick daughters and a sick wife that I am trying to please before I go off and leave them! I also have so much to pack and do! Can't wait to see all of you at Oldhammer USA - and for those across a sea, border, or just too far away - I hope you like these! And the fact that you can get them yourself!<br />

Our Second Guest of Honor is Phil Gallagher, Studio Design, Editor and WFRP guiding hand...along with the creator of the Emperor himself. Once again, Phil did a previous interview on Realm Of Chaos 80s, so check out Orylgg's interview <a href="http://realmofchaos80s.blogspot.co.uk/2013/10/d-wfrp-and-birth-of-fictional-god-short.html" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />
<br />
We are actually pretty lucky to have some special Warhammer/Oldhammer Celebrities here in North America, and I am really excited that they are going to be able to stop by. So bring your copies of WFRP, your questions, and any presents! Phil and Graeme also let me know that they will be there on Sunday, during the Golden Gobbo competition! So make sure you can be there on Sunday to meet them!<br />
<br />
Phil was kind enough to answer a few questions that I sent him, I tried to not repeat questions from other sources, but remember you can get your questions answered on Sunday!<br />
<br />
<b><u>OITNW</u></b>: In the realmsofchaos80s interview (see link above), you were confronted with a
huge stack of already created material, and had to wrestle the beast to
the ground. I’m sure it was a monumental task at that time, even
deciding what to keep and cut. How many months did you work on this? You
said it was mainly structure that you gave it, did that include the
layout or just edited text? <br />
<br />
<b>Phil:</b> It seems now, in hindsight, that
Realm of Chaos took year and years to complete! In reality it was
probably about a year, but the truth is, I can no longer remember. The
lay-out was the team’s attempt to fulfill Bryan Ansell’s vision! We were
lucky to have Ian Miller do all those fantastic illustrations, while
Tony Ackland never seemed to tire of drawing weird, warped beasts of all
types! <br />
<br />
<u><b>OITNW:</b></u> But the end result is a beloved and treasured
roleplaying game, one that many believe is there favorite of all time.
Was the tension between your own ideas and that already created what
made it excellent? <br />
<br />
<b>Phil: </b>Hmm. It’s difficult to say. I think what’s
made it a favorite with so many people is the sheer amount of creativity
that went into it. Of course, I STILL think the mechanics were/are
unnecessarily clunky – but, hey, that’s just my opinion, and the opinion of those that still play it is much more important. <br />
<br />
<b><u>OITNW:</u></b> Was
there a “battle” that you won, i.e. not including something or adding
something in? Was there something that you would rather have been rid
of, but were made to keep? <br />
<br />
<b>Phil: </b>There were no battles. There was
neither time nor opportunity to re-do the combat system, for example.
Jim Bambra and I simply shoved in as much role-playing guidance as we
could, and “cunningly” persuaded everyone (ourselves included) that we’d
“fix” the magic system in “Realms of Sorcery”… <br />
<br />
<u><b>OITNW:</b></u> I know it
is the periphery for you now, but I was wondering on your general
thoughts on the Oldhammer movement. Are you surprised by the passions
that these things you helped create years ago are generating in
otherwise respectable people? <br />
<br />
<b>Phil: </b>I think it’s fantastic. I am
surprised and humbled to discover that the thing lives on. Long may it
continue. Perhaps I should have “Here Lies the father of Sigmar
Heldenhammer” on my gravestone! <br />
<br />
<b><u>OITNW:</u></b> One thing that most of us
in Oldhammer love is the general humor and sheer explosion of creativity
that the Design Studio created during those golden years. This tends to
be lacking from current games and products. Was this a freedom that was
allowed, or was it encouraged in the studio? Was it just something in
the water….or beer? How much as editor for a lot of the materials decide
how to cut it down, or did you go for a certain type of humor? <br />
<br />
<b>Phil: </b>I
think we had a certain youthful cynicism. Rick Priestley had set the
ball rolling with the very first edition of WFB, and the rest of us just
carried it on. Graeme “Undead” Davis has a fantastic dry, deadpan sense
of humour, and I have terribly sad fondness for puns. Sometimes,
slipping in a joke or two made me feel like I was being a little
rebellious, in a quiet, understated kind of way. Other times, I just
though it was funny. There were also times, of course, when we
all experience that cliche of “you have to laugh… because if you don’t,
you’ll cry.” <br />
<br />
<b><u>OITNW:</u></b> I know that you currently act, and some of
your photos have been amazing! The best roleplay group I ever had in
college was a bunch of actors who also role-played. I was able to ask
this question of James Earl Jones once after a presentation he did. So I
will ask it of you as well: What is more important, truly incredible
acting or wonderfully written lines? <br />
<br />
<b>Phil: </b>Oh, good question!
Wonderfully written lines make the acting easy, of course. Interpreting
character, potraying genuine emotion, making the audience forget that
they are in a theatre watching actors, moving them, making them laugh,
these are all part of the reason I do what I do. Wonderful scripts can
make the most wooden of performers look good. But the best acting I ever
saw was watching Derek Jacobi walk across the stage, without saying a
word, he aged 40 years as he moved from one scene to the next –
absolutely amazing. <br />
<br />
<b><u>OITNW</u></b>: Thanks so much for your time, I know some of
these may get involved, but anything you feel comfortable answering
would be great! <br />
<br />
<b>Phil: </b>Glad to be of service. I hope my
answers prove worth reading! As Benjamin Franklin is often quoted as
saying, my aim is to “either write something worth reading or do
something worth writing.”<br />
<br />
Thanks, Phil! James Earl Jones's answer to my last questions was very cool. he leaned back, in that amazing voice of his said "Ohhhhh! That's a good question!" Then he said that of course as an actor, he believed that an incredible performance can improve and create something out of anything, and that incredible words or material, just make it easier to capture. Very similar to Phil's answer. He also said, that sometimes, brilliant material could "lock" certain choices an actor could make. Making it difficult to bring something new to the material. In some ways, to me that is the same with most things and one amazing bit I wonder at every day....my children and their imaginations. I'm always thrilled when I find them making up stories and places, rather than saying, but Bilbo has to look like this....<br />
<br />
Ok, so that is three great guests, all appearing on Sunday, October 26th at Dropzone Games! Hopefully you can all make it! <br />

Guest Judge - Dave Taylor!Well, if you have followed the forum then this is not a surprise, but we are lucky enough to have Dave Taylor join us as our judge for the Golden Gobbo competition at the USA Oldhammer Weekend at Dropzone Games. Andrew Dyer, our friendly patent official is running the event, and it looks like it is going to be awesome!<br />
<br />
Dave is pretty familiar to a lot of people in wargaming, and has won awards (multiple Golden Demon, including staff awards), edited Wargames Illustrated, and been with many different companies, including his own. This is his bio from his blog.....<br />
<br />
I've been modeling, painting, and playing with toy soldiers since 1991.
Over the years I've painted thousands of miniatures, primarily for Games
Workshop's games, but I've also tackled some great historical
miniatures. You can keep up with my current projects here on this blog - <a href="http://davetaylorminiatures.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Dave Taylor Miniatures.</a> A quick browse through that will show you the kind of projects that Dave takes on!<br />
<br />
Luckily Dave also allowed us to ask him a few questions, and I thought I would put those here:<br />
<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>OITNW:</b> Do you remember the first miniature that you painted, and do you still have it?<br />
<br />
<b><u>Dave Taylor:</u></b> The first miniatures I painted were for my early D&D days, some
Dwarven adventurers, probably around 1983-4. I painted quite a few
models for my roleplaying group over the years (including a handful of
what I am sure were old Citadel Miniatures - some Orcs and Wolfriders).
It wasn't until 1991 that I started painting GW/Citadel minis for
wargaming. As a Uni student, I opted for the cheapest options, like the
RTB01 boxed set, and painted up a dark blue Space Marine army. I no
longer have any of those models, they were lost in some move at some
stage, but I do remember a lecturer of mine (I studied Graphic Design)
saying to me about some of my first models, "You know, Dave. I thought
you'd be able to do better than this."<br />
<br />
<b>OITNW</b>: Have you noticed the Oldhammer painting movement/styles in the more "current scene" and what are your impressions of it?<br />
<br />
<u><b>Dave Taylor:</b></u> I
have certainly noticed the Oldhammer approach to gaming, collecting, and
painting. I think it's a great thing. Fortunately it's not just a
nostalgia thing, but it seems to be a movement that appreciates many of
the core ideas behind the fun times that were being had at GW/Citadel in
the late '80s. While there are now some absolutely fantastic miniatures
coming out of the GW Design Studio, they are very refined, distilled
down to a core design aesthetic. The miniatures (and painting styles) of
the Oldhammer era weren't afraid to experiment, to test new grounds. <br />
<br />
<b>OITNW:</b> You have done some incredible armies, and some greatly detailed Golden Demon winners. Are details or overall miniature effect more important?<br />

<u><b>Dave Taylor:</b></u> I'm a big fan of the overall impression of a miniature, regiment, or
army. It's the big picture that will grab me first. But (and it's a
pretty big but) it is the detail work that will always hold interest and
keep me looking at the model(s) longer.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>OITNW:</b> I know you have painted a lot of 40k and Marines, but what are the iconic "Bad Guys" that you like to paint. Is there a Chaos God you really like to paint? (Do you have a special way of painting Nurgle or Tzeentch stuff?)<br />
<br />
<u><b>Dave Taylor: </b></u> I
do typically paint "human" armies. They've always held the most interest
for me. Humanity against the vast, spawning pantheon of foul creatures
and supernatural powers. Be it a guy with a shiny breastplate and
halberd, or an ill-fitting helmet and up-powered flashlight, I've loved
the idea that it's their faith in the strength of Humanity (and the
ranks of millions to take their place) that keeps these soldiers
fighting. In those times I have strayed from the human armies, I've been
drawn to the undead and Nurgle Chaos, both rotting and decayed
reflections of previously human armies. I must admit I have no real
"methods" to impart for my rot or decay.<br />
<br />
Dave also is involved in the Project Alchemy bit that Jon Boyce, Tony Mansfield, Steve Casey, James Craig and others are doing (you have probably seen it pinned to the top of the Oldhammer Community page!) and you can read more about that here: <a href="http://davetaylorminiatures.blogspot.com/2014/09/project-alchemy-oldhammer-collecting.html" target="_blank">Dave Taylor - Oldhammer</a> <br />

Dave is also one of the guys who has taken photos for Wargames Illustrated, who have some great photos of just models. He was working on that when we got the chance to talk at Adepticon:<br />

Design Studio member, Game Designer, and writer Graeme Davis will be attending the event. Graeme is checking his schedule to see how much of the event he can attend, but he will at least be there to celebrate the passion of the Oldhammer movement. I'll have a better idea of when he may be available, but you might want to bring along some of your WFRP books! And help me applaud one of the guys who helped bring out all of these things that crawl around in our minds eye!<br />

<br />
You can find one interview that Graeme did on Orlygg's <a href="http://realmofchaos80s.blogspot.co.uk/2013/06/we-need-more-maggot-ridden-pus-you-know.html" target="_blank">Realm Of Chaos 80s</a>! Some great insight there for us. I tried not to repeat too many questions.<br />
<br />
Just to let you all know as well, Graeme is currently working on Colonial Gothic, a great role-playing game that adds history to the mix. As Line Developer he has some great stuff, and also adds lots of great historical events to the group on facebook. Rogue Games can be found <a href="http://rogue-games.net/games/Colonial-Gothic/" target="_blank">here.</a> May be I am biased, but the revolutionary war is my favorite period of history. But the line just keeps getting better, with the revised rulebook! You can also pick up the line on amazon and as pdfs! Though the non-book of 18th century ruinous powers peaked my interest! Oldhammer connection, huh? <br />
<br />
Anyway, first let me say thanks to Graeme for answering my questions and also for being our first announced GOH for Oldahmmer USA!<br />
<br />
Here is the interview!<br />
<br />
<b>OITNW: For those that do not know, current projects of yours include
Colonial Gothic, which I love as it melds history and roleplaying. What
are future plans for Colonial Gothic or are you working on anything else
that you can reveal? </b><br />
<u><b>Graeme:</b></u> Richard Iorio and I are just putting the
finishing touches on the Colonial Gothic Players’ book, which should be
out before the end of the year. As the name suggests, it includes a lot
of new player options, including skills, weapons, spells, and combat.
There are also completely new systems for character advantages and
disadvantages, social level (very important in those times), plus an
updated version of the character templates from the old ebook release to
make character creation quicker and easier. <br />
Further in the
future, Richard is working on the third installment of the Flames of
Freedom campaign, and we have plans for a GM’s book as well as a
super-secret project that has a significant Oldhammer connection. That’s
all I can say about it for now, except that it’s not an 18th-century
Realm of Chaos adding the Ruinous Powers to the game! Though wouldn’t
that be nice, if we could only get GW’s blessing.... <br />
<b>OITNW: We all
know that you have joined us on the Oldhammer Facebook group, but what
is your general impression of the passion that we have for all of the
earlier stuff, whether minis or story?</b> <br />
<u><b>Graeme:</b></u> Ever since Flame closed
down in the early 90s, I have been amazed and impressed (and, I have to
say, a little humbled) by the passion that kept WFRP alive through its
wilderness period, and I had the same feeling when I discovered the
Oldhammer movement a year or two back. I remember one day in about 1987
we were talking about Thunderbirds and other childhood favorites, and
Jervis said that what we were doing at GW would one day be someone
else’s Thunderbirds. It seemed like an outrageous assertion at the time,
but I’ve never forgotten it and – lo and behold – the man wasn’t wrong!
<br />
There really was something about those days: the particular
mix of ridiculously talented people (and me!) and the circumstances that
allowed us to get away with sneaking jokes into the games, mixing humor
and horror, and doing all the other things that people still like.
Although they certainly weren’t free of frustrations, looking back they
were pretty good times. Maybe that carries through into the games
themselves. <br />
<b>OITNW: While you are a writer, and roleplaying game
designer, are there any miniatures that you collect, or did you have
any? Were these for roleplaying, or did you have an army?</b> <br />
<u><b>Graeme:</b></u> I
started out buying a few of the old Minifigs D&D miniatures for
roleplaying around 1977, and picked up a few of the early Citadels when
they began doing the Fiend Factory line. But my roleplaying at college
didn’t make extensive use of miniatures – one of my college friends
still teases me about a red plastic chicken from a farmyard toy set that
I used to represent any critter for which I didn’t have the correct
mini! <br />
When I started at GW I began to collect undead, which
have been a passion of mine ever since I saw the Harryhausen - Jason and
the Argonauts movie on TV in the 60s. I was a slow learner when it came
to painting, and I never got them organized into a regulation army: I
was more interested in having one of everything. I even had an
unreleased Aly Morrison green of a skeleton wielding a crank-operated
chainsaw! Tragically, I was prevailed upon to “put away childish things”
and disposed of them before a transatlantic move during my first
marriage. I’d do anything to have them back. <br />
<b>OITNW: The beginnings of
the Chaos gods are a little in the past, but do you know of any
interesting stories or their creation, or do you know any of the
influences that created them (or was that just before your time at the
studio?) </b><br />
<u><b>Graeme:</b></u> The four Ruinous Powers were established by the time I
discovered Warhammer, and I never heard any particular tales of their
creation. My impression was always that they sprang fully formed from
the minds of Bryan Ansell and John Blanche. The tale of Malal is pretty
well known, and I don’t have anything to add to what’s already been
said. <br />
Acting on a line in an early RoC draft which said that
there was an infinite number of Chaos Gods of varying power, I created a
couple of new ones for the WFRP adventure Something Rotten in Kislev.
Ken Rolston’s original draft called for Malal as the patron of a cult,
and it had just become clear that we couldn’t use Malal. So I created
Zuvassin the Undoer, who might be described as the patron deity of
Murphy’s Law (his symbol was based on a wrench) and Necoho the Doubter,
who (in a joke I considered sheer brilliance at the time) was
essentially a Chaos God of atheists, opposed to religion in all its
forms. So far as I’m aware, neither one appeared anywhere outside that
one book. <br />
<b><b>OITNW:</b> I recently heard that some of the releases for the
WFRP game were re-imaginings of existing adventures or modules, was this
true, and where and how was the original material chosen or selected?</b> <br />
<u><b>Graeme:</b></u>
In 2012, Fantasy Flight Games commissioned me to write half of a new
campaign titled The Enemy Within, but it was not an update of the 80s
adventures. Instead, it was an all-new campaign that explored the same
themes. The announcement certainly caused a stir in the WFRP fan
community, which is doubtless what FFG intended by choosing that title.
I’m not aware of any 3rd edition adaptations of earlier adventures,
although the WFRP2 book Plundered Vaults did consist of 2nd edition
versions of various earlier adventures. I think there have been some fan
adaptations converting various published adventures between the three
editions of the game, but I haven’t looked at any of them. <br />
<b><b>OITNW:</b> In
the interview on RealmofChaos80s, you commented that you tried to
include Malal in the Realm of Chaos books. Any insights on how you were
to include this? </b><br />
<u><b>Graeme:</b></u> My thinking at the time (which turned out to
be completely erroneous) was that the book (and it was only intended to
be one book at that time) would benefit from having something new and
surprising in it. I already mentioned the line in an early draft that
raised the possibility of a great many Chaos Gods existing, and as a
roleplayer first and foremost I leaped on it. I went through a huge pile
of miscellaneous artwork with a view to grouping images together and
creating new Chaos Gods as patrons for the sets I’d created. Of course,
it was soon pointed out to me that minis didn’t exist for any of these
images, and probably never would, and that creating a new Ruinous Power
would <br />
commit the company to launching a whole new army with
miniatures and a book and everything else – so would I please stop
writing about new Chaos Gods! <br />
Specifically about Malal, I
thought this was a no-brainer because he had featured in the Kaleb Daark
comic and I had not yet heard about the copyright issues. I found a few
likely-looking images for a greater and lesser daemon, and started to
write Malal up in the same format as the descriptions of the other Chaos
Gods. It should be noted that this was before Mike Brunton took over
and I was using a much more modest format! <br />
<b>OITNW: One thing that most
of us in the Oldhammer Community agree upon is just the incredible
amount of creativity and organic explosion of ideas and imagery that
coincided with a certain era at Games Workshop. This has been compacted
into specific marketed “looks” and single styles for most of the armies
and backgrounds. Most of us lament this as one of the reasons we enjoy
Oldhammer so much. As one of those involved in the creation period, how
do you view the current flavors of Games Workshop. </b><br />
<u><b>Graeme:</b></u> Honestly, I
can’t comment on the current state of Warhammer because I’ve been out
of touch with the developments of the last couple of years. I used to
get the Empire and Undead books when they came out, but there came a
point when it was clear to me that Warhammer and WFRP were never again
going to be the major part of my life that they were in the 80s. I had a
lot of other projects going on, I had an argument with Green Ronin
which ensured that I didn’t write anything for WFRP2 after Ashes of
Middenheim, and FFG only asked me to do a couple of things for WFRP3,
both of which were already plotted out in considerable detail before I
got to have any input. <br />
So if I were to say anything at all, it
would be informed purely by the comments I’ve seen from the Oldhammer
and WFRP communities and not by any observations of my own. And I don’t
think that would be particularly helpful. <br />
<br />
<br />
I know we all want to thank you, and can’t wait to see you at our Oldhammer USA event! Thanks so much!<br />
<br />
We have another Guest of Honor as well, and I'll be announcing that soon!<br />
<br />
Also - some incredible news! The Boyldrick models have arrived. Thanks to Kev, Bryan and Martin Ansell for the incredible miniature. I can not wait to give out at our event! Thanks. Also, thank you to Orlygg, for being kind enough to help us get these guys for our event as well! The only way to thank you will be a bunch of painted pictures of our incredible models!<br />

Its back - Orctober time! Thanks to Erny, at <a href="http://ernysplace.blogspot.co.uk/2014/10/orctober.html#comment-form" target="_blank">Erny's Place</a> we are again going to hear all sorts of stuff about one of the most iconic bad guys in Fantasy history! There have already been some great posts about the evolution of orcs, by Matthew at <a href="http://www.oldenhammer.com/" target="_blank">www.oldenhammer.com</a>, and some are adding guns to theirs, like <a href="http://leadplague.blogspot.fr/2014/10/orctober-second.html" target="_blank">Leadplague</a>. Great start to this Orctober (or is that Orktober for Leadplague)!<br />
<br />
Not to cover lots of covered ground, I'm just going to concentrate on two things. First, as you all know, Kev Adams and Bryan Ansell created most of the iconic "look" we tend to associate with Orcs today - from the pointed ears, big jaws, fighting and humorous spirit. Even the Green tide we all know and love. In fact the last Kev Adams releases to me (around 1992-93) of goblins marks the end of the second age of Games Workshop. You can see the progression here:<br />

Those last two images show the stylized "violent and big" version that the Orcs have become. The humor and panache of the Kev Adams sculpts is gone. Is there any wonder why we love his stuff so much (And once again are so happy about Boyldrick - Thanks Kev, hope you are healing quickly!)<br />
<br />
It is almost like it was too much of a good thing and they had to "un"-Kev them. Don't get me wrong, I like a lot of things that Mr. Nelson and others have done...but they are different. A new breed of Orc, and not the ones I fell in love with.<br />
<br />
I was recently watching Labyrinth, the movie with David Bowie, with the kids, and they could not stop laughing over the little goblins - both my 2 and 4 year old and straight through to the 17 year old! That humor is incredible, and captured in the sculpts of the 80s and 90s! I was struck while watching it, just how much was Brian Froud influenced by Games Workshop artists....or were his influences just shared by Mr.s' Miller, Blanche, et. all....That would be a curious thing, but it must have been something to do with the time and their influences.<br />

The other Gobbos I was in love with as a kid was the Hobbit and Return of the King Orcs. I know, not high art, and a bit cat like, but they just always appealed to me in 1977. In fact they led me to pick up my first miniatures, some Heritage and Citadel Orcs. So in some ways, I have these guys to blame for my metal condition.<br />

One note - this was supposed to be a bit about my latest hobby rescue where I tried to fix this....it fits in, and someone can probably tell what it is, but I'll be back tomorrow with a bit on this guy and how to fix it.

I haven't gotten a chance to talk to him about it, but if memory serves he had a terrain guy building it. But until he can get me more info, I just wanted to post up the pictures here in case they slide off the page on facebook.<br />
<br />
EDIT- the terrain guy is Jamie Dixon, who is doing a great job! Jamie is hoping to open a gaming store in the southwest Virginia area! Who would not want to game in a store with terrain like this. So keep a lookout, I'm sure it will be on facebook and on here if Jamie lets us in on the details! <br />

Great looking start to some terrain that will look fabulous on USA Oldhammer Weekend! Cannot wait to see it - just under 4 weeks folks - make your final plans. And remember we will be doing late night stuff at Days Inn in Glen Burnie!<br />

Thanks so much for sharing Chris Lopez (Darrin) and Jamie Dixon, terrain maker master! And if you want to play on this awesome board, make sure to get to Baltimore!

Want to thank everyone for helping out a friend of mine. I know some of the items I listed up on the trading were a little new, but it was easy to grab and sell stuff. Also happy to say that I donated some stuff that sold, and one very nice gentleman called and matched what I was able to raise, so we covered two months and even had a little extra. So - solid thanks, to a great community. If we need to get him some more, he will now be able to take some time and sort and prepare. But thanks! Apart from one special package (you know who you are!) and the few bits I am bringing to Oldhammer Weekend for you guys, everything is now on its way!<br />
<br />
Rusty has been very, very busy of late. But as we pass the one month to go mark, he has sent me some new pics of the final piece of the Warbands board, the River section and the monastery. These are some WIP shots, but I gotta say - I can NOT wait to play on this table with everyone! Get your warbands together, and get ready to throw down! I do have some pics I'll put up Wednesday of some more villagers, monks, and dignitaries. But on to Rusty's Boards!<br />

And no, I don;t think that Jugger is gonna stop the Dragon - no matter how he is painted!</td></tr>

So, that is the work up to about a week ago. He's making more progress, and waiting for the water effects to dry! If you haven't made your plans to get to Baltimore yet, this is the type of game you will miss out on!<br />

Other notes - Orclord from Stuff of Legends is going to be hosting a BIG game - a siege. Was glad to talk to him on the phone the other night and he sorted out some of the details. Its going to be 10' by 20'! Lots of stuff, and he is basing more Empire to make it extra special! You are going to want to see this or play in this one - That means you BlueinVT ;)!<br />

I know it was mentioned before on Facebook and RealmofChaos80s, but I want to play it down until after BOYL 2014. But yes we are going to have the limited Event Oldhammer figure that Kev Adams, Foundry and the Ansell's have created and supplied. So if you are as jealous of me of the events in the UK - here is your chance to get something extra special from 2 incredible guys - Kev and Bryan. THANK YOU both - its been years of my life working on and enjoying your figures and the worlds you helped created or define. Martin at Foundry has confirmed that our Boyldrick models are on the way to us as we speak. Unless we get crazy numbers, we are going to have one for everyone. So make sure you get there to get yours!<br />

As most of you know, Kev is also recovering from his treatment. I understand it will still be a while until he can get back to sculpting at the Foundry. Bryan has been sharing some incredible pictures and details on all of this, and I can not wait for them to become available! But here's hoping that you recover well and quickly Kev - We want more! And thanks again for the awesome Boyldrick! <br />

I'll have my hobby update on Wednesday this week I hope. And next weekend I hope to have a bit more news and some more info on some special stuff at Oldhammer Weekend USA.

So the local mall put in a new playground for kids, and it is Garfield Pirate themed, which suits my girls just fine. The oldest jumped in Garfield's boat, looked at other kids, and said, the "monster had the ship...Abandon Ship!", at the top of her lungs. ;) Kids jumped everywhere and we parents had a nice chuckle. Regardless, I don't do anything unless these girls are taken care of first......<br />

Alright, here is a hobby update for our warbands table. In our scenario several townsfolk, monks and others are going to be walking around and getting captured by our erstwhile warbands! Rusty is making several monks and villagers, and I am making monks and some other farmers.<br />
<br />
I wanted to put up some early WIP shots from earlier so you can see the progress that I have made on these. A long time ago, a very much younger version of me started them off with a incredibly bright red. For my sensibilities now, I started much darker and worked my way up - still have more to go, but you can get the idea.<br />
<br />
These were Simple Greened with a bunch of my Orcs and Gobbos. You can see some of the other projects I am working on in the background. I have another hobby update tonight on the start of the Wyvern project - an old-skool repair job! But here are some pics of the monks:<br />

It has officially been a year since my first post on this
blog. It of course has been a bit longer for my gaming, but I did just want to
write a brief review of the year. I have had some highlights and lowlights, of
course. So to get it out of the way, I had some severe medical issues that
needed taken care of, and the heat induced allergic reaction is finally fading,
after 9 months! So except for that extended period of time (Which was 22+ weeks
- Over 5 months) where I was not posting, I have been trying to get at least a
post up every week. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>With30 posts and 22+
missed weeks, I’d be at 52 with this post! Anyway here are the basic stats:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><u>Posts:</u></b> 30 (Or about once a week except for
11/8/2014-4/14/2014 where I was in the hands of the mad-docs!)</div>

Of course, stats are always interesting, and China and
Turkey did surprise me, but I figure that is not too bad for a first year
(really half a year blog). Most important of course is our upcoming Weekend in
Baltimore on Oct. 25<sup>th</sup>. Rusty’s corner and the Warband creation
posts being the biggest driver of views for the last two months is no surprise
with all of the people who are letting us know they are coming. Thank you very
much to Rusty – I can’t wait to get on that board and throw-down! I promise
lots of pictures! Also, Rusty and I have been talking over the phone for over a
year and a half about the Oldhammer Weekend (and great deals for Oldhammer
stuff, of course). It’s been a heady time, and this blog is really kinda both
Rusty’s and mine! So thanks, buddy! And get me the river and monastery pics –
everyone wants to see em ;)</div>

Also, a big thanks to Orlygg at Realm of Chaos 80s fame, for
the mentions of my blog and our event! I know probably half my views are
because of his mentioning my blog. I know he does this for many others as well (And
I follow them all!). His views and posts are huge and help people find our
little community, not to mention preserve some incredible stories and
information on our favorite era. His biggest contribution actually centers on this
blog and our Oldhammer event. For the blog, he continually encourages us to
start our own. This is to see out community grow of course, but I think it is
also driven by a large want that most of us share: seeing great minis, great
games and great collections around the world. For our event, he told me to just
pick a date and run with it. We cannot schedule “perfect” for all of us, but
once we have an established date, then we can just try to get as many there as
possible. So after checking with a core group I knew could help out, we
established our day. Whatever happens on that weekend, or however many people
can show up and game, without that great advice the answered would be no one and
nothing!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Also, thank you to the whole Oldhammer Community, it has
been great just talking to all of you on facebook, your trades (followed
normally by a healthy dose of jealousy), reading about your games (again, some
jealousy…), and seeing bits of your collections (of course, even more jealousy
;) ). It is just fun to be somewhere, even if online, where most people “get”
your passion. If I only have one request (besides staying the great community
that you are) it would be that more of our friends in the US would start up
blogs, showcasing their hobby. So please do, I promise if you let me know. I’ll
follow, and get you mentioned on here! Orlygg’s advice is awesome here as well.
Both for your gaming – just set a date and do it, and your blogging – just share
it!</div>

A lot of the views are coming in just before the Oldhammer USA
event, whether that is more people getting ready, more people discovering it,
or what, I am not sure. I can tell you that the Warband Creation post is the
most viewed over the recent months, and should be my most viewed post (passing
David Soper interview) sometime before the Oldhammer Weekend! So that is
exciting. We still need more pics of your warbands though!</div>

For the future? Well, The biggest event this coming year is
the Oldhammer Event in Baltimore, but as soon as that is done (and the flurry
of posts that I will be doing starting tonight), I am going to dedicate myself
to some old-fashioned battle reports, as well as some posts on Heroquest, the
boys favorite new game! We are even going to break out all of the expansions!
But number one is to get more hobby in. Now that my health issue is hopefully
behind me, and life is settling down into the normal chaos of the kids, I want to
get more painted. To a better standard than I normally rush to. And I want to
build some old-school terrain out of the mountains of odds and ends I have for
that purpose (Some of which I have dragged from college till now!) I’m
encouraged by Erny to do my mighty fortresses justice, and Steve’s challenge to
paint better. So hopefully that will be shown over the next year.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
But my firm goal is to upgrade to 2 posts a week, 1 gaming,
1 hobby every week from November on. Hopefully it will all be of interest to all
of you!</div>

He sent along a few images to share, which is another section, another building, and a cornfield! He's also working on another part to this table which has the river and monastery - which I cannot wait to see! So It should give us a huge amount of space to see who is most favored by the chaos gods!<br />

Of course, we should also thank Rusty's lovely wife, who not only puts up with late night calls from me, but also puts up with his hobby to this extent! So Thank You - we all greatly appreciate it! ;)<br />
<br />
And another thing. As Rusty is out and about, when he is not building, he tried calling a current GW store (In Philly I think). Now that would normally not be a problem, as Rusty was checking on something, like could he bring his Oldhammer models to the store for an event. What he was told actually surprised him, and then upset him (and then me). He was actually told that while the staff would love to see it, and would even do pickup games with him, for the scheduled events, he had to use "only current models". When asked if that even meant old 6th edition spearmen from Empire were off limits, he was told again "only current models". I'm hoping they make exceptions for parts on new models, otherwise all of the creativity of the game would be gone.......oh wait. If you haven't go back and read one of my first posts <a href="http://oldhammerinthenewworld.blogspot.com/2013/09/oldhammer-in-new-world.html" target="_blank">here</a> (just skip to the Epiphany part- we can wait)<br />
<br />
Welcome back - so yeah. Another bit of the sameness taking over, is it any wonder that we are growing (more on that later) on the Oldhammer front. Just remember, try to post some pics of projects - not more stuff to sell (we do have a trading area for that!). Or even better, create your own blog (and let me or RealmofChaos80s know!) I have a large amount of them somewhere on the right side of this page - so visit them, get inspired and share more (and I can add your blog to the list)! One thing I need to add of course, to make mine an official blog will be battle reports. I'm going to have some from Oldhammer Day, but the 15 yr old sprog is working on some figs for a 3rd ed game (probably won't be until after soccer season....mhmm, wonder who in the premier league is willing to pay for a young goalie now ;) ). And I just can't take anymore on....with 4 kids, believe me I have enough! But I am going to make it my Before New Year's resolution to put up some cool Battle Reports (one each of Warhammer, Rogue Trader, and EPIC!).<br />
<br />
I also just found out there were a group of guys in New York who did not know about our Oldhammer Day - and now looks like they are going to journey down, so there are still those out there who don't know we are all meeting up, just remember, the more you tell, the more that will show up for Trade and Auction night at the hotel! ;)<br />
<br />
Once again, Thanks Rusty for the pictures, and the awesome work, and Thanks to Rusty's better half, we all know he wouldn't be half the man without you!<br />

Which means we are roughly two months away! Lots of stuff going on, of course, but I got some cool photos from Don on his new Space Hulk 3d board that he is creating. This is one of the things I am looking forward to playing myself, as it was one of my favorite games when it came out. But here you go:<br />

So that is just one more thing that will be happening at the Oldhammer Days, and thanks to Don for doing this project as well as sending me the pics! What do you guys think? Is this going to be fun, or what? And what are your memories of Space Hulk? It was first released in May 1989, which means I was still a teenager (Junior year of school). I was already into GW at the time, so it was a must for me, and I loved it. I have no real scientific evidence, but except for friends, I believe Heroquest and Space Hulk were the two largest things that got people into playing with GW figs. They released the second edition and it was just not as good due to the rules changes, which was finally corrected when they released the incredible 3rd edition in 2009, with the old rules! I have 2 1st edition, 3 3rd edition, and a bunch of 2nd (at least 4 or 5), so yes, I enjoyed this game. It was also the first game I played with the step-boys to introduce them to actually playing with all of my toy soldiers ;)<br />
<br />
Is anyone else getting excited? I keep hearing about new people that might show up all the time! So remember, in two months, you could be throwing some dice, old school! Hope to see you there!<br />

Don't you just hate him ;) Not to mention that huge score he just had of Oldhammer blisters, unopened! He's been working on the terrain as well, and hopefully we'll have an update just before we are all getting ready to leave for the big Weekend!<br />
<br />
If you haven't yet, start up a blog, or just send me pics of your force that you are planning on taking to Oldhammer USA! Hoping to have another update soon!<br />

And then they had to tease us with the painting wizards that were given away! But we have some great things going on for the Oldhammer USA day as well, and I'm just waiting to hear back from a few people to announce a ton of stuff. And I should have some pictures, and things for those who can not make it to this side of the pond...see we like to share ;)<br />
<br />
But I have been quiet because while I was making the initial preparations for Oldhammer USA in Oct, my better half got a bug, and decided to host a reunion for her old gymnastics club. Now, I'm an old hand at sports, having played since I was 3 (soccer, or football to you non-americans) and through high school and into university (basketball). I also played rec leagues for years afterward. But my other half was an incredible Elite gymnast (think Olympic level). Her team (which was developed out of the club) won a state championship when we were in high school together (not to date her too much but - 1990!). She also went on to be on the national tumbling team, competing in Europe and Texas. So before I get into it, you have to understand that these girls were at least obsessed by gymnastics as we ever have been about gaming (before you disagree, realize they practiced 4-6 hours a day for years!). Basically, all the hard work they never show in those cool movies....<br />

<br />
So they got together after 24 years, with most not seeing each other since then! They have gone on to be successful members of society (doctors, engineers, teachers, dentists, etc.) and lots of them have kids. It was a great weekend, and was incredibly good for all of them (they are already planning the next one).<br />

<br />
So what do we care about (as I put it at the restaurant afterwards to embarrass her a bit) a bunch of "Old Chicks Who Used to Do Tricks"? Simple, the planning for this thing was mainly done by my girl, but could not have happened without a bunch of people lending a hand, time, or something. Same thing for our events. Looks like James initial run last year of Warbands, led to Erny and the gang doing an incredible Siege game there this year. I'm being joined by Rusty, Andy, and even Orclord from Stuff of Legends to get events run and games done - and even more! It is awesome, and I am just so excited to see it all. I even have a small update from Rusty....so expect to see this crew at Warbands time!<br />

Rusty is almost done with these guys, shields and a bit more for the bases, and then they will be ready to take you on!<br />
<br />
And speaking of guys who are helping, Vongamer is one of those running a Rogue Trader event. He recently put this up on the forums:<br />
<br />
Greets All:<br />
Just an update for the Rogue Trader 40K Game I'm planning on offering, and a bit about the journey to get there. I plan on a 4'x6' table, which I'll supply from my modular terrain. Pretty much an urban ruins fought over many times. My intention, for at least the first clash, is to provide all the miniatures,terrain,play aids,dice etc.<br />
<br />
Mostly an infantry type encounter. Each
force - ranging from 10 to about 20 figures - starts the game with a
NEGATIVE points value - as I calculate from the RT book. So far I
intend to offer various Space Marine Chapters, Pirates, Imperial Guard,
Squats,a Genestealer Coven, Eldar Pirates, Chaos Marines,Orks...you get
the picture. I can support as many players as wish to play.<br />
<br />
As I am
"tweaking" the individual profiles to make most figures unique in some
way, including equipment (rad counters anyone?) forces will vary in
original strength and capabilities. Thus the negative value. A stronger
force will have to play more aggressively to gain victory. Each
"kill" awards the winning force Victory Points based on the value of the
defeated foe, double if eliminated in Close Combat. These points then
reduce that negative starting value, shifting scores into positive
territory as the game turns progress.<br />
<br />
Additionally, players may opt
to take on unique "missions" with points awarded for completion - less
the longer it takes, or a penalty for failure. (Imperial Headquarters
rewards success).<br />
The table itself will also have GM controlled hazards and benefits. You can make/bust deals between players almost anytime. Victory judged at intermittent times during play.<br />
<br />
I'm
also thinking of introducing some "non-GW" forces for variety (I have a
healthy collection of classic Dr. Who minis for example). I used this system at conventions etc in the past. I believe it works well. Walk ons can join without skewing the game. With
lower forces it does allow picking up the game concepts easily. The
profile sheets will also have the weapons capabilities listed as well.
Not much "page flipping" that way. I do like a fast paced game so push decision making. Turn sequence (which player when) is random so no two turns are the same.<br />
<br />
After this first game, I expect players to roll out the forces they brought, unless they just need a loaner force.<br />
<br />
Some rules I'm using from the early publications:<br />
1- Space Marines in Power Armor get a +1 bonus to hit in CC. Compilation Pg 27.<br />
2- Various armor does slow movement.<br />
3- Squads can start small or large as the player wishes.<br />
4- Not all squad members must do the same thing - some can shoot, some can engage in CC. Just maintain coherency.<br />
<br />
I've also found: Psychers - VERY expensive points wise. Equally VERY deadly.<br />
<br />
I'll try to post some pictures soon of some of whats in store.<br />
Hope this sounded interesting and fun.<br />
<br />

Lucky him, hes about 10 minutes from Dropzone, and is also looking for someone to try it out before Oldhammer Day; so drop him a note on the forums. Unfortunately I think it is about a 15 hour drive for some of us (maybe 16 to 17 if I take the girls ;( ) But I do plan on bringing some old Imperials and some Marines that I have in old chessex boxes (and I don't think they have seen a lick of paint since 1987-88!) <br />
<br />
So big thanks to everyone giving a big hand in getting this thing off the ground. It will be a success I am sure, in spite of my planning, and due to all the hard work everyone is putting in, not to mention those incredible figs I expect to see there! Now my two weeks of reunion mess (and the clean up) are over, and I can make the final push for Oldhammer Day! Lots of painting still to do, but I'm sure that is the same for all of us. More to come soon!<br />

Time has been short, as my other, better half has now lost two Aunts in a month. Basically funerals suck, even if they are more celebrations, and make you realize the important things. But here are some pics of my beastman, sans bases. So my warband is nearing completion as soon as some tufts arrive in the post! I also have to do the banners. Did anyone else see James's at the BOYL? Maybe not that large, but mine are going to have to be pretty special!<br />

Much earlier in my blog I showed some WIP shots of my Ruglud's unit. I'm painting them up for use with a large Orc and Goblin force that I plan on using at the Oldhammer event. Way too much work to do, and only two months or so. But at the time I was unhappy with how they were tunring out. So I got some advice from Andy Craig on the skin tone to make my orcs look old school. Large part is Windor & Newton Green Apple ink. Now, my skills are not anywhere close to 'Eavy Metal painters, but I am pretty happy with the tone of the skin. Even if some of my brush work is a bit overhanded or sloppy, this gives me a great point for my Orc flesh! What do you guys think?<br />

Of course, these shots are all WIP, I still need to base them, I need to paint shields and their crossbows, but they are all headed in the right direction, I think. Also, on the facebook group, Omar has shown off his. Anyone else have shots of their Ruglud's? Yes, mine are not finished, but I am getting there, and 35 down.....look below for some of what I have to go!<br />

Of course, every step forward leads to steps back! while I was working on my Ruglud's I assembled a whole lot of my old Orcs and Goblins. I am building a proper Oldhammer army for my game in Oct, and I already am lucky enough to own tons of remarkable Kev Adams and other GW models. But know I'm having to make them match my new skin tone and Ruglud's and I have a lot of these with a horrible white primer. So into the Simple Green pot a lot of them went.<br />

<br />
And here is some of the units laid out for the army....lots of painting to do, but I am really excited to have a newly painted Oldhammer force. One other note, I have a bunch of old Grenadier Orcs and Gobbo wolf riders (by Nick Lund) and some other stuff that may also be there. And I have lead belchers, rock lobbers, bolt thrower, man manglers and more in another box. So it should be pretty cool when it is all done!<br />

Well, if you are anything like me, you are suffering from an amazing amount of shock at the news of Robin Williams death. I know many of us have long enjoyed his run through our popular culture as a comedian, actor and his incredible genius. I've always thought we had a bit more of a connection because Robin Williams collected and played Warhammer. A friend of mine was a LA manager of a GW where he would bring in his son (I think he bought Empire for him), he had Eldar. Rumors of games between him and Billy Crystal used to abound in the gaming community. My friend did actually play him in a couple of games of 40k. He said Robin made incredible noises and "talked" as the minis. Just as I would imagine him playing if he did. Andy Chambers also shared the story that he called up GW mail order back in the 90s and talked as "Papa Nurgle". One of the mail order guys who packed one of his orders remembers it for being a) his and b) "very large". So we have lost an incredibly bright light for all of us (though tremendously in shadow himself), and more for all of us, a fellow gamer.<br />

Also, if you are like me, I have now collected hundreds of photos from the incredible BOYL event recently held at Foundry! Just looked incredible, and great to see pics of Kev, his greens, the games, the minis, and everything! Of course, the reason I started doing this little blog was because I wanted an event like this in the USA - and we are having ours soon!<br />

So, now that the event in the UK is over, I'll let you know that we are going to have the special figure from Kev and Bryan! We also have a lot of games now set up, including Warbands, WFB, Rogue Trader, Siege. And of course the painting competition for Golden Gobbo USA. So tons of stuff to do! We are also looking at having a special template created for our event, a 3rd edition Stone Thrower template. More info on this right after Gen Con! And yes, the plan is to make them available to those who want them, though you will have to cover cost and shipping! And thanks, Zhu!<br />
Of course, I'm already planning or running a lot of things, and I know several of you are just bringing third edition armies to play games with (Awesome!) but I am wondering if anyone want to volunteer to run an Epic game, or anything else. Now that we have seen what BOYL put on, I'd like to make our first year awesome. We may not hit that high of a bar (kinda hard without Kev and Bryan of course), but I'd like to see it get as big as it can!<br />

Also, I think Don started the ball rolling for rooms at the Days Inn. They even have some meeting rooms that we may be able to book and/or use as guests for late night gaming, trading, chilling, or drinking! Not to mention a lobby to meet up and arrange rides to from the event and restaurants! You can find the hotel <a href="http://www.daysinn.com/hotels/maryland/glen-burnie/days-inn-baltimore-south-glen-burnie/hotel-overview" target="_blank">here.</a> <br />
<br />
Drop me a line or message me on facebook (Blake Shrode in the Oldhammer group) if you would like to run something or have any cool ideas!<br />
<br />
On an unrelated note, can you believe the owner of this Maseratti was booked for impersonating an officer? I just bet the officer was jealous...;)<br />

So basically, well done UK! RIP Robin! And I just can't wait for October!Kaleb Hordeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18279279669165070169noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1128701124469844280.post-40190638268778900222014-07-22T19:24:00.000-07:002014-07-22T19:32:35.784-07:00Oldhammer Day - 2014 Warband Table - Village WIP (And Warband Mini Photos)Ok, as many have commented on my previous post, Rusty is pretty darn good at this terrain thing! Its going to be a complete joy to clash over this thing. Well, he sent me some WIP shots of the village. Of course, according to him, he has to fix the wall, and add some more vegetation and stuff until it is ready to go....Me I'd be happy to play on it now! Rusty also asked me to remove the black village images from the last post, which I will, but hopefully we can do a step by step later! But he was not happy with just a black village.<br />
<br />
Of course there is one other thing that is outstanding in these photos.....a Rusty's warband minis! Great oldhammer figs, with great styled oldhammer paint jobs.....you just have to love the checks! I know he threw a few other things on there so we could see what the courtyard area will be like. Some great paint jobs Rusty!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<br />
Anyway, Here are the pics....but if you are painting your warband.....get some photos up on your blog, the facebook page, the forum....or just send them to me! The more people see the more excited they tend to get....me I'm giddy (or had too much to drink tonight ;) )<br />

Big stuff going on, We'll be announcing that a bit later. Today has been very difficult, as I had to play Daddy Day-Care all day, and then when my better half got home, she was not feeling well, so Daddy Evening-Care bit into my writing time. Lots of it on Facebook already, so I'll just write up another post in a bit.<br />
<br />
However I wanted to show some great WIP photos from Rusty Gouldman's work on our Warbands Table! This will host the village and Monastery that you will be fighting over, Champions of Chaos! Rusty is really great at making terrain, and does all of the hard bits and makes them look easy. Then you start hearing him talk about his own rubber moulding (like window frames, chimney toppers and the like) or his static grass applicator or the layers and layers or individual bricks he cuts to create walls or shingles.....and you realize that he's fallen deeper down that rabbit hole than you! In a VERY good way!<br />
<br />
To give you guys some idea, the table concept came from this table in the 3rd Edition Rulebook,<br />

Now Rusty has taken this idea and started in on our Warband table, and while we could do a long step by step maybe later (or describe the steps that he takes, I thought I would just use pictures to show the progress he has made. This could be a great idea starter for some of you for your own tables or games. Rusty has done this professionally for an awful long time, and while he has forgotten more than most of us have probably learned about terrain, luckily he'll be there to help run the Warband event with me so you can pick his brain. What follows are some WIP shots of half of the Warbands table (which can also be used for Bolt Action WW2).<br />

Here are some pics of that half of the table in use with some Bolt Action figures. Rusty is making this table multi-use, and whole sections can be added to change it up.<br />

Rusty then sent me some WIP shots of this bit tonight. Lucky us, the girls kept me at this long enough I can add this in. So this is the village that holds our victims, er.....the villagers of Montagne. Pics pretty much speak for themselves, but thought you should see it.<br />

I removed these by Rusty's request....you can see more in the next post!<br />

Now I will admit, that a full blown gaming board like Rusty is making is incredible and I am so looking forward to playing on it. Reminds me of Duke Seifried's games. Funnily enough, most of my wargame table building went into things made for Games Day or Retailers (or a couple of cool pieces for a Gorka Morka Board that made White Dwarf). The building room Games Workshop had was pretty hard to beat. Hopefully this might encourage you to take a stab at something, or at least spark some questions for Rusty at Oldhammer Day.<br />
<br />
Another cool thing is what Erny has gotten up to over on his blog. Takes a bit of bravery to cut into something so rare and cool, but if you can't use it, what is it really worth to us? Check his thing out <a href="http://ernysplace.blogspot.com/2014/07/converting-citadel-mighty-fortress.html?showComment=1405786237430#c7471029335822999326" target="_blank">here. </a> For my part, one thing that really interests me is huge fortifications, siege towers and mighty armies clashing over a wall.....so as a sneak peak, this is a picture of my inspiration for my siege board....Another game at Oldhammer USA 2014! More to come from Rusty, and more to see at the show!<br />
