Mild breezes of about 5-10 mph, sunny and 60 degrees. I've got all but 2 chariots assembled for my first week of Escalation but the chariots result in crowded Tuskgor so I need to test my paint schemes and get started on those before I glue them onto bases or I will never reach some parts... The first round of priming is already done and drying in the basement.

SKILL STACKERS The most flexible and stackable solution to adding skills to your Blood Bowl players (as well as Necromunda and other campaign games). Skill Stackers are high-quality resin disks printed in the size of your bases along with the exact labels you need. All the skills for Blood Bowl are available as standard disks, as well as special labels like nega-traits (when you fail that Bone-head roll!), and extra-special labels like marking the results of Prayers to Nurgle. What Makes Skills Disks Better? Exquisite Quality, Awesome Appearance, and Fantastic Flexibility! Skills Disks are comprised of three components: a finely detailed resin disk, a thin steel plate on top, and a powerful neodymium magnet on the bottom (all included with orders). This means you can quickly "snap" on a skill to any of your models that has a magnet in its base, regardless of polarity thanks to the steel plate. You can swap them at any time or stack additional disks underneath in case things change during the game. The skills are printed on two sides of the disk so you and your opponent can always see the labels, regardless of facing. Check out how easy they are to assemble: Step 1: the three components. Grab some superglue! Shown are 40mm, 32mm, and 25mm disks. All use the same size steel plates and magnets. Step 2: glue in the steel plate. Step 3: flip over and glue in the magnet and you're done! The steel plate will attract the magnet for an easy seal in the pocket. Note the 32mm and 40mm have multiple magnet pockets in case you want even more magnetism, like for storing your models on carry trays. Check out the stacking! You're ready to play! But if you want even better visibility, you can prime and paint them so you and your opponent can see those skills from across the pitch - very important for tournaments. These were sprayed with white primer and painted with Citadel Contrast paints, less than 5 minutes of work! See those JOURNEYMAN disks above? That's what sparked the original idea of magnetized disk. You just need to mark a model for a league game when you're down players - no need for a whole new model! After a year of successful testing and revisions to make them even better, the product line has been expanded to include all those fiddly temporary labels you need during a game, like PRONE, STUNNED, BONE-HEAD, and even all the results from the Prayers to Nuffle table. We also make POSITIONALS with NUMBERS - the ultimate option for you hobbyists who make all sorts of amazing conversions. No need to remind your opponent every turn which model is your Blitzer and which is your Blocker because the Skill Stacker does all the work for you! Position and Number are each on two sides of the disk. Rotate the Skill Disks to check the roster numbers of your players. Now your opponent will never wonder who is who, and you don't have to paint those tiny little numbers on your models. And, of course, they STACK with all other Skill Stackers! POSITIONAL DISKS based with Citadel Texture paint and primed, ready for painting and basing a model onto them. Finished Examples: my Dark Elves team has no official Blood Bowl models, but my opponents never wonder which player is which! Particularly handy for the ASSASSIN since he is a LINEMAN in disguise. Works great for my theme, yet causes no confusion for my opponents. And POSITIONALS stacked with SKILLS! HOW DO YOU ORDER? So you've seen enough and are ready to upgrade your team with the greatest solution for marking skills? You've made a fantastic choice! I'm just a simple hobbyist who wants to share this creation with the world to make skills easier to mark, easier to change, and MUCH easier to see! I don't have a webstore yet, so to order: SEND ME A DIRECT MESSAGE on Ordo Fanaticus with the skills (or labels) you want and the base size(s). SKILLS example: 4x Block - 32mm 2x Dodge - 32mm 1x Guard - 40mm 2x Sneaky Git - 25mm POSITIONALS example: 2x Blitzer - 32mm - Numbers: 1, 2 2x Runner - 32mm - Numbers: 3,4 2x Blocker - 32mm - Numbers: 5, 6 1x Ogre - 40mm - Number: 16 5x Lineman - 32mm - Numbers: 7-12 Want custom labels? Send me a DM and we'll make 'em. Skill Disks are $1 each, regardless of base size, and that includes the disk, steel plate, and magnet. Assembly required (use superglue). I keep the most common Skills in stock, but big orders (or lots of orders) will mean we need to print your disks. I'll give you an update when you order. *Shipping is an additional charge. I can usually deliver for free to the Ordo Fanaticus clubhouse in Portland if you're local. ONE MORE NOTE: I am locking this thread from the start to avoid any confusion and ensure no one tries to order via a reply. Send questions via DM to me and if I find some getting asked frequently, I will add an FAQ to this post. Thank you and enjoy!

Our scribes are currently working out the details but I'd like to annouce the 'Grey Mountain Guild' has plans to organize a one day TOW event set in the fabled Border Princes at Ordo. The goal is to set things up for the next few months and have the event in late June or early July. The current plan is 2 or 3 games each at 1250 points. It will not be a competitive event but a way to meet fellow players and enjoy a few friendly games in the newest edition of the game with our toy soliders! Fully painted armies will not be required but will be encouraged, we are hoping the 1250 point limit will motivate some of us to start or finish projects! We have 6-8 people interested from our regular Old World group that play at the clubhouse and would love for more people to join us! Drop a reply in the comments if you're interested and I will update with more concrete details soon.

Little schedule tweak - setting a schedule of 3 weeks per 'Cycle', with the goal that folks can get two campaign games in during that period. Gang Raid games are an option for the enthusiastic who can make it every time, but figuring folks will have a variety of conflicts, etc. But overall goal - 2 games every 3 weeks. I'm also looking at adding a couple 'tiers' of involvement and offical sign up location. Feel free to post up here, or message me, in the interim. Folks looking for the traditional campaign experience should sign up as a "Ganger", folks that want to play but aren't anticipating having enough availability to take part regularly can field a "Hive Scum" gang and take part on an interim basis, opting to track Xp, injuries and costs if desired, but not required. Details to come.

I'll start this off with the fact that I think 9th edition really bled me dry a bit. I got all the books for the armies that I have and had hoped that it was going to be my final edition. Of course 9th ended up being so convoluted for me that I have moved on to 10th. The thing is, I like my models. I like that I have options for armies. But honestly, due to gamer ADD, I rarely stick with one long enough to get more than a single game in during an edition. The solution to this seems simple....drop most of my armies. Focus on one or two and just play those from now on. Seems logical. That way in any edition, I only have one or two books to get. I can focus on that army, learn the rules, learn how to play them, and it would definitely help reduce the amount of new stuff to get each edition. My problem is though that I like my stuff. And every time I drop an army...I eventually end up regretting it, or worse, getting it again at a higher price as is the way of the GW hobby. I probably should get rid of probably half of my armies...but it seems like a huge disservice to all the work I did getting them in the first place. So basically I have a problem if I keep my armies, and I have a problem if I get rid of some of them. #1stWorldProblems

I believe happiness lies in hacking what kind of person you are. I can't stand losing stuff I've painted. So I don't. I instead budget money into buying storage solutions. I plan my conversions and don't "cheat" to get to the table faster, because I'll spend the money someday anyway. My solution? Don't really have one, but my 5 year old loves creepy and Gothic, so someone will probably inherit my Night Lords coming up. But bits boxes are forever.

Beastmen lost 1200 to 600, rounded up because I can't remember exact points. Take aways, Razorgors are a hoot, their LD is the weakness to them but mean. Gorgon is a beatstick. He took 3 turns of shooting and spells without a wound. T6 is hard to deal with sometimes. Skimishing and Horde USR is interesting. You can't gain rank bonus with skirmishes but horde always let you claim 1. So we played it as no matter how many ranks I had I could claim 1 as long as I had models for the rank. Would like your guys thoughts. I could not finish units got tree man caster and spell singer to 1 wound each and could not catch a break. Fun army, but with so many USR rules I don't feel I would take them to a tournament. I like simpler armies for events. This won't stop me from painting and finishing army and playing it. But tournament no thank I am not that good of a player.

I think it's simple. I've played Necrons since 4th ed, I'll always play them (good or bad). Solutions: Never declutter, nerds forever! Unless you don't have storage space for it (or need cash, but sell when it's hot). If forced to declutter or choosing to, sell those things you have never used, or haven't used in many years. That's how I viewed it. I sold an entire painted Dark Elf army and entire Space Marine army recently. I might sell off my Orks too, but we'll see. However, you do you. 😁

Interesting. So drilled units can redress their ranks before declaring charges but if they have a rule that forces them to charge (Impetuous, Frenzy) they must use that rule to charge. So you can’t prevent yourself from charging by having your unit in a marching column. And if you don’t have Drilled and you are in a Marching column and you have to declare a charge due to a rule you just fail a charge. So your unit is stuck. love that ruling. Drilled units are elite units and can redress their ranks when needed but they still must charge if their rules make them. They just really really want to get into combat. You can only charge block them with your own units.

@Peanut and I would like to reserve a table for TOW

I've never played before and am looking to check things out. Is it all right if I swing by just to watch for a bit?

Being transparent, much of the 'old' senate has become more of a player than active senator (but still around). We have a lot of new blood in our senate, and it's great to see such active people running Ordo. I haven't seen so much activity in the Ordo Clubhouse for a long time, lots of events, tournaments, and more. As for old OFCC style, without a HOG (Head of Gaming) to run it the old style, there's a chance it won't return in the same fashion (maybe a hybrid). That hasn't been set in stone, but that's the reason there was a doubles event last year. Simply because no one who volunteered knew how to run it in the old OFCC style. We were very lucky to have any 40k representation, thanks to those who did step up and run it. We're always seeking volunteers 😁

Titan Forge just dropped an excellent Tomb Kings style set of STLs, if anyone is interested. Here's the Skeleton unit: https://www.myminifactory.com/object/3d-print-undying-dynasties-necropolis-guards-359618

Ill be there around 530 to play TOW with a guy (sorry not sure).

Excellent. Honestly I’ve been looking through the local game stores in my area, The Mox and GG while also the event boards at Portland Game Store, and I have found no TOW game nights. In fact this is the first time I’ve heard of games being played. I would be interested in games and would love to see TOW becoming more active in this area. I’ll send you a message and maybe you can give me the details you have. Still getting my Orcs together but I have over a hundred of them already rebased and primed just waiting to get painted. My Gobbos… that might be a little more time. Thanks for posting and giving us this info. From all the reading and battle reports I’ve watched this looks like I’m going to have the best time with my Boyz. Happy Gaming!

Hello everyone my name is Robert, a newly minted Senator of Ordo with a passion for Bringing new players into the hobby! Link to sign up is here: https://forms.gle/wgnkKifjuHcqda6Q6 I am kickstarting the Ordo Escalation league starting Thursday starting the MAR 28th. I know its short notice, this first meetup will be a "soft opening" of sorts so dont feel like you missed out if you cant make it. March and April games will be 1000 points or less. In May we will begin increasing points by 200, meaning we hit 2k points in September. We will create 2 pairings for everyone each month. Play more if you want Obviously You can play your league games outside of those Thursdays, but having a rallying day to all hang out is nice. We will be using BCC standard tournament ruleset: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1BvfV03NsBThQy4ZN0YDeWdZ2spzu58-9EDgaekZaQoY

Work in progress

Mark your calendars for the fourth annual 3D Roleplay Con! An Oldhammer gaming convention in Sellwood on May 4th & 5th, 2024. 3D Roleplay Con is an annual Oldhammer gaming convention held in Portland, Oregon (USA). Championing the golden-era of fantasy wargaming & roleplaying, with an emphasis on 1980’s editions of Warhammer Fantasy Battle, 40K: Rogue Trader, Realm[s] Of Chaos, Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay & the like. Tickets & More Info: https://3drcon.cargo.site/

the joy of de-cluttering / thinking about ways to start NEW projects / moving on (gasp) is generally followed up with despair over figuring out money invested vs money obtained from selling off / heartfelt affection for the old models / delusional "i'm sure it'll come back" in terms of game play / etc. at least for me denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance are the five stages i sold off probably 90% of my comic collection recently. all the "high-end" stuff that wasn't Batman related. All the years of collecting gone, the money, the good times, just having it around, etc. seriously took a while to just get over it and move on totally get how you feel. for 40k, i played competitively in THIRD edition. been stockpiling since with the delusion that i'll play. i retire next year so we'll see. but until then it's just a massive amount of space and thoughts of time sink / money spent / what's the point / etc. but to unload it all now would be silly were i to actually have time to play once i retire and have to replace it all... but then again, that's why i'm so butt hurt about the firstborn. i have zero primaris. tons of other armies, sure but scale creep, usable models, the list goes on and on...

someone should start a "group" for this... like (not to make lite of an addiction problem" - but AA or something ... because I am sure there are lots of folks with this... "addiction"... myself included. -d

There are actually a lot of good rules in there. Drilled works in any phase so, pre-charge, pre-countercharge, pre-GG (but not FBIGO), etc. so it is stronk. Earthen Ramparts stops charges and counter charges but does not keep frenzied units from declaring them (they declare and fail and don't move) so no shenanigans there. Skirmishers officially do not grant cover to themselves. The skink chief cannot fire the bolt thrower on the Howdah at his BS5 or BS6... And the responses show that they actually considered how things would interact with other rules down to including many additional details (e.g. the dead space in front of the wings of a lance on a charge or the way marching column and impetuous/frenzy interact). Bluntly, it is some of the best rules-writing we have seen from GW in years imo.

I'm expecting 2-4 folks around playing Necromunda - it may be the soft launch of the campaign.

Absolutely.

I would like to reserve a table with @Tao Tsê-Mung and myself to get some Legion on! will be there for 40K escalation league

I'll be there to open and close this Thursday GN April 11th. This week's GN will feature the 40k Escalation League. Due to this, table space will be limited and so I will curate a reservation list for tables both here on the OF forums and on the Ordo Discord. The league will likely require 5-6 tables, so only 5 tables (Library room, Windowed room, and Terrain room) will be available for other games. Also, Imperators, Emperors, and Warlords will receive priority for table reservations for those 5 additional tables over other club members. Please post here if you plan on attending. Edit- Table Reservations: 1. Windowed room table = Necromunda group 2. Terell and Peanut - TOW 3. zcaust83 and opponent - 30k

I'll be there to get my Blood Bowl match on 😁

Working on the Enforcers and their Tauros! When are we aiming to launch?

I primed mine on that one nice weekend we had where it got to 70. Of course I primed about a hundred in one day before the weather turned. Might be June before we get another sunny warm day.

TurnipDayIV was on Sunday and it was a banger!

Ill be there for TOW with menglish at 630

I'll be there to open and close this Thursday GN March 28th. Just to let everyone know, there will be a 40k escalation league starting up shortly. The league will be held every 2 weeks on Thursday night. Due to this, table space will be limited on those nights, so I will curate a reservation list for tables both here on the OF forums and on the Ordo Discord. The league will require 3-5 tables, so only 4-5 tables will be available for other games. Also, Imperators, Emperors, and Warlords will receive priority for table reservations over other club members. Always remember, your champion rank has its privileges. 😎 Please post here if you plan on attending. Table Reservation list: 1. Kevin the Wizard & Salty Monkey - SW: Legion 2. zcaust83 & Menglish - TOW 3. Peanut & opponent - TOW

I'll be there for my Blood bowl match.
