offroadfury Posted June 1, 2021 Report Share Posted June 1, 2021 Any interest from the forum for Warmaster? there has been an explosion in wonderful minis for the ruleset, both STL files for printing and regular models for purchase. I would love to start an escalation league or some type of campaign and would happily take the lead roll in organizing it. I live down in McMinnville so looking to play in Salem or Portland. let me know if any of you would be interested! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Glacius Posted June 2, 2021 Report Share Posted June 2, 2021 I'm all for warmaster. Great system. But original rules, or the new public set? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
offroadfury Posted June 3, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2021 I’m new to it as well, I’d be fine with either, new or updated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
offroadfury Posted June 27, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2021 Well, there doesn't seem to be too much interest but I’ll try and get some more love in the topic! I’m gonna link some sites that have some amazing 10mm scale minis and a couple good youtube channels to hopefully inspire you all! First is the main website here you can download all the rules for free and find plenty of other great links https://www.wm-revolution.com/ Great army miniature resources- Excellent Minis- Almost all of the Armies you can field, available in 3d printed and the STLs https://www.excellentminiatures.com/miniatures-3d-printed-physical-product/epic-scale/warmeister-10mm-miniatures-on-strips/ MaceFace- Norse models but only STLs https://macefaceminiatures.com/collections/10mm-miniatures Printing in Detail- About the same stuff as Excellent Minis, but shipping is from the UK and they have bases you can buy https://printingindetail.co.uk/ Trolls Under the Bridge- good chaos knights and evil minis https://www.trolls.cz/collections/10mm-fantasy-miniatures Black Gate Miniatures- Daemons and Ogres by the guy who runs the podcast https://www.blackgateminiatures.com/store/ Magister Militum- Older 10mm Historicals great for Empire, Bretonnia, dogs of war and Araby https://www.magistermilitum.com/scale/10mm.html You can also find stuff on ebay and etsy as well as the main facebook group has lots of people that are making stl files for all sorts of armies! Last are two great resources as well- Warmaster Podcast, which is a great listen even if youre not really into the game (it also is an interesting retrospective on the flow of 2020 during the covid crisis) theyre pretty funny and got my interest in the game really peaked https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCm8m0UriROA6bfQ78g9Fzfg The other great channel is Iainmstanding he has great overviews on all the armies as well as goes over each phase of the game in great detail. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBk8oNh4ZiDroJ8X-j96sdg Cheers! Offroad I hope the mods can let me make this attache to the first post so it can be at the top! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ish Posted June 28, 2021 Report Share Posted June 28, 2021 I’ve never played Warmaster, but have long maintained that Epic 40,000 (third edition) was one of (if not the) best rule sets that GW ever made… I’d be interested in giving Warmaster a shot.

Andrewgeddon Posted June 28, 2021 Report Share Posted June 28, 2021 So I played a game of Warmaster earlier this year and really enjoyed it. I ordered a Warmaster army back in April without realizing the seller was in Russia, and I've been waiting for it ever since. Supposedly it arrive in New York on the 6th of this month, but hasn't moved since . Assuming it actually does arrive, I would be interested in getting some games in, although I don't think I'd have the time to commit to a league. Warmaster Revolutions is the "living" ruleset, and I believe that's what most people play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ish Posted June 28, 2021 Report Share Posted June 28, 2021 If it’s in New York, it’s probably just waiting to clear customs. That should only take three to four weeks. Between Corona virus shutting down ports, the Suez getting blocked for a month, increased piracy in the Straight of Malacca and off the Horn of Africa, rising oil costs,and the ten thousand other little things that went wrong between 2019-2021, the whole trans-oceanic trade system is a total flustered duck right now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
offroadfury Posted June 28, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2021 If you have a 3D printer than you can print some really awesome armies for pretty darn cheap! However Ive bought a couple units from Excellent mini and though expensive, it was sent in a relatively fast time. Plus they just look so fun to paint! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrewgeddon Posted June 28, 2021 Report Share Posted June 28, 2021 I bought a "Vampire Counts" army that consists of models that I saw on Excellent minis (believe they are all by Green Dragon designs), but I opted to go with Etsy because it seemed cheaper. Only after I ordered did I see the seller was from Russia, heh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ish Posted June 28, 2021 Report Share Posted June 28, 2021 I’ve been muddling about with the idea of building a pair of Saga: Age of Crusades armies in 6 mm scale for a long time now… I could probably swap that out for 10 mm scale and have them do double duty.

offroadfury Posted June 28, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2021 Those Forest Dragon Elves are some of the best minis of any game system I’ve ever seen! and yeah, get an Araby and Brett army and you're good to go for both games! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

offroadfury Posted June 29, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2021 We don’t need a huge group to play either, just a couple playing and I’m sure others seeing those cool ass minis in person will be enough to convince them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Glacius Posted June 30, 2021 Report Share Posted June 30, 2021 Excellent Miniatures has some really great sculpts for warmaster. Been very tempted to buy a new army through them. I currently have five? armies.....I get in these buying binges and went wacko for warmaster about a year ago 😞 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
offroadfury Posted June 30, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2021 Oh yeah I’ve been tempted very hard by buying several full armies from them. I told myself to find a group of players first then I could buy them! Hence this forum topic haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ish Posted July 1, 2021 Report Share Posted July 1, 2021 So… Here’s something pretty cool: paper armies for Warmaster! Not as cool as “real” models, but still pretty good looking and dirt cheap! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
offroadfury Posted July 3, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2021 Yeah the printable ones would be good to play to learn the rules! I can’t decide between a chaos or Brett army. I’ve seen some amazingly Brett armies that always inspire me but I don’t know if my skills are up to the task! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewW Posted August 20, 2021 Report Share Posted August 20, 2021 Hello All! I just found out about this club from the Warmaster (GM) Facebook page. I'm building an Araby army perhaps 15 years after playing the original ruleset at a GW store against my brother. I live in Tualatin but am generally mobile. Who's up for a game?

AndrewW Posted September 3, 2021 Report Share Posted September 3, 2021 (edited) Hello! Happy to say I had great game of Warmaster with Jason from community. Bretonnians vs Araby. Open table at Cloud Cap Games, using Jason's terrain. Superfun!

Ish Posted September 4, 2021 Report Share Posted September 4, 2021 Correct me if I’m wrong, but in Warmaster all infantry are mounted on 40 x 20 Wmm bases whereas all cavalry are on 20 x 40 mm bases, right? Would it be super obnoxiously disruptive to gameplay to mount my models on 20 x 20 mm bases but use two bases per base (if you follow)? This would make it a lot easier to have the models do “double duty” in Saga and Oathmark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
offroadfury Posted September 4, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2021 Warmaster is 10mm scale and you’ll have to keep the 20x40 bases, or stands, as you remove these stands when you take enough wounds. Pretty looking armies! Let’s get some army shots! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right, what I’m saying is that each of my 20 x 40 mm stands would be made up of two 20 x 20 mm bases. So when I’d normally have to remove one stand I’d just remove two bases. They’d have the exact same footprint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewW Posted September 4, 2021 Report Share Posted September 4, 2021 @Ish I think two games for one army is a great idea! The measurements for Warmaster are done on individual bases, and the bases can get into complicated arrrangements and irregular formations once they hit terrain and combat. It would be very good form to place your 20x20 squares onto thin 20x40 0.8mm bases with white glue before official games. What do others think?
