My First Steps into Historical Wargaming

 A few months ago, while deep in shut down I achieved the impossible, I painted every single model I own.  Having completed this herculean task I ventured out to my FLGS to pick up the next project to fill my hobby void.  I walked around for a bit, but nothing grabbed so I decided that I would just use this free time elsewhere in my life.  Before I left I informed the shop owner of the completion of all my models.  He asked me to hold on a moment while he disappeared to his storage room and returned laughing as he tossed me a bag of 28mm Roman Legionnaires.  This bag was "on the house" as he knew he was starting me down a path of no return....Historical Wargaming.

A Plea for Secondary Named Heroes

 Age of Sigmar has proven to be an excellent step up from Warhammer Fantasy Battles over these past years in regards to gameplay, lore, and many other reasons.  I feel the game is constantly going from strength to strength and while the lore continues to develop more and more depth there is one aspect I feel is lacking overall in the form of secondary named characters.  While some armies do have a number of secondary named heroes the majority are lacking anything but a single core figure.  In today’s post, I offer my thoughts and hopes in seeing more of these characters move from lore to tabletop in the years to come.

What if your Warhammer Journey was to begin all over again?

 Earlier this week I proposed an interesting thought experiment on my Twitter and it created some fun discussion.  That question was “We all associate with one army or another (ex: myself and Daughters of Khaine). If you had to pick a different army and could do your hobby journey all over again which would you prefer to be associated?”.  Some responses were very off the wall while others were still in line with what that individual enjoyed as far as army lore or aesthetics.  In my post today I want to explore my answer and try to extrapolate what my Sylvaneth would look like today if that was the army I decided to run as my main army and essentially use as a brand on myself.
