Was looking at Polar Fox's Undying Dynasties stuff, they look great! Still trying to find something to use as 10mm Dryads for my "zero elves" Sylvan Elves 

Just glue some twigs and crap to bases, DONE.

I love the idea of an elf-less elf army. Elves are so stupid, but their army rules are so cool.

They all look good. But man, I'm on a roll painting my orcs at the moment. Just about done painting 40 choppaz and now moving onto 32 arrer boyz. I now have 30 Black Orcs, and 3 River Trolls. HUZZAH!!!

Another miniature maker you should check out is Lancer Miniatures, They mainly make 20mm and 28mm but it's a lot of historical armies and they got some cool Orc miniatures that look like oldschool Warhammer Orcs.

Glad to hear the orcs are coming along! My dwarves are horribly slow to start, I basically have 1 clansmen and 1 crossbowmen. Ill have to max out my lord allotment to ease the painting :D.

I never appreciated how easy lizardmen were to paint until I had to start painting bags, shoes, gloves, hair, helmets, pants, shirts, capes.

Oh man, that looks fun. I can see this game covered with empty Olympia Beer cans and the random Jack In The Box bags as terrain pieces. 

I was looking at Polar Fox miniatures and they have a 10mm Grimgor Ironhide. My eyes lit up like a fat kid in a buffet.

What sort of buffet are we talking about?

A cake buffet, or a salad bar?

Well, he doesn't have one. So he will either build out a force of my lizard men or dwarves. He has played once or twice. He had an 8th edition army for 6 months or so, so he is relatively familiar with how it all works.

I am in a pretty similar boat as I have only played KOW a few times long ago. Thankfully, there are not that many rules to learn.

Effing adorable!

I think I may have a second player, however he works until like 12 or 1. How prompt at noon were you hoping to start?

It does not affect me showing up, just him.

Oh nice, this was the stuff that was being given away at the end of OFCC to Fantasy players right?

Will this be held in the drinking section of GG? 

Put me down for a tentative yes.

Is the salamanders army OK to bring, since it is not in the official rulebook and all?

I'll have you know all of my battles take place in the Great Green Sea, where trees (and water, buildings, roads, fences) cannot be found for miles. 

Your blocks of slaves make excellent impassable terrain from which to fight around.

I read into the 4Ground MDF buildings a bit more. The problem with them is that they have no real texture to them (besides the thatched roof). That means that all of the trimming and wooden beams you see are flat and flush. The building is really pretty rectangular, with the exception of the roof (which appears to be textured, but to what quality I am unsure). If you are really particular about the authenticity, then this is not the way to go.

For instance, the stone walls have the appearance of being stones, but are really just flat sides (textured tops). For some this is a mute point because they are using jenga blocks to proxy walls, and MDF would look 10^6 times better. 

If you are going to be transporting your terrain to the FLGS then I think MDF is a good option as it is lightweight and durable (as opposed to resin which can break).

If you like the look of the GW trees, wayland games also has those for like $18-$19 / box. 

You know, looking into it, this waylandgames sale is pretty freakin' legit to buy all your scenery. Here is enough to outfit a table for less than $100, all pre-painted. Wayland is already cheaper than most other vendors. Add to that an additional 20% off and this stuff is basically free (relative to the typical price of fake model toys). 

Free shipping too!

You could probably find something at a hobby lobby or Johannes, but I think you would have to really compromise and be somewhat unsatisfied with what you get. The world of lazercut MDF has come a LONG way in just a few years, and prices are really low for some pretty cool terrain. Some even comes pre painted/textured such as 4Ground.

You can check out http://www.waylandgames.co.uk/3896-28mm-historical#/page-3

Although based in the UK, the shipping is reasonable, and there is a 20% sale store-wide right now. If nothing else this will at least provoke some ideas so to what you want your terrain to look like.

You can come to one of our Terrain Days to learn how to create your own terrain.

While I am sure you have an immediate need, we usually have a few of these every year. I am working to get one arranged for October.

I never knew this existed! Would this be at WoW?

Youtube!

There are really a lot of cool videos for making terrain such as hills and rivers with a broad assortment of material types to work with.

As far as buildings and fences go I am still on the lookout, so I will let you know if I find anything. I had considered making my own fencing, but it sounds like a lot of unnecessary work.

Trees, depending on your scenery climate, can vary. I have been told that after Christmas, you can get really cheap show covered conifer trees from all of the unwanted nativity sets.

You could also look at warbases.co.uk. I was not impressed by the terrain, but if you like something there, andrewgeddon is making an order sometime soon. You would of course have to some how get it from him (Vancouver WA). Would be a good excuse to come down and get a game :D.

So THAT'S why they keep changing stuff... 

I am going to throw down for some skirmisher trays for sure. 

Is it a pony!!?!

oh, nevermind. I see there are specific "Warhammer Skirmish Style"

I might be interested.

What do you know about the slotted regiment movement trays, do they have the proper spacing (12.5mm) for skirmishers?

Do I need to get approved to officially be in the FB group? I am about as helpless as my 90 year old grandfather when it comes to FB

Lerking a bit here, but how did you determine the spirit scores? Looking for ideas for making the T9A event better.

I imagine you will take flaming on your war machines next time :D.

That rundown of the General+KG was pretty nuts. It is strange to me that Greybeards dont give a flip, but the super smashy doom unit with a King gets gobbled up like some skinks. That was some 8th edition type of punishment for rolling two dice the wrong way.

Nice call with the new MDF bases! 

What % of metal bands are medieval themed? You seem to have a deep archive of this material.

How did this event turn out? By Guardian Games are you talking about SE Portland, or is there another GG in Seattle?

Quite impressive sir,

I managed to paint 1 character in the last 6 months. You have literally moved mountains in 1 month.
