ProHammer Solo Campaign - The Iron Thorn Crusade
I had a free evening and decided to take ProHammer for a solo spin. I’ve talked about it before on the blog - this project is an effort to create a single unified “middlehammer” ruleset, pulling heavily from 4th edition Warhammer and allowing armies from any 3rd-7th edition codex. There is a WEALTH of goodness in this range and is peak 40k for me (I started playing around the time the “3.5” edition codicies began releasing, I still have my Space Marines 3.0 codex and its Blood Angels supplement from when I was a pre-pubescent nerd utterly captivated by the setting). I recently made some extra terrain for my home setup going and thought I’d take the rules for a spin and play a little narrative that may turn into a whole campaign for when I want to play Warhammer but dont have anybody free to play with.

New Edition Of Heresy and Other Musings
So with the announcement of the Saturnine box set GW have confirmed a new edition of Horus Heresy is coming. I loved HH 2.0 (for awhile before Old World released it was my go-to favorite system). I loved the crunchy mechanics, the blast templates, the vehicle facings, the huge degree of character personalization and the lore and flavor of all the armies. Was it perfect? Heck no - the game obviously had balance problems (cough dreds cough) but as long as you played “in the spirit of your opponent” it was great fun. I’ve got posts on here reminiscing about the best games of heresy played this last edition.

Club Assemble!
Once again its been too long since I posted here. I have stepped a little out of my comfort zone and put out flyers online and in stores to find players to breathe a little life into our club (mainly looking for fellow Specialist Games enthusiasts/casual warhammer players). Its going way better than I ever expected! I’ve gotten multiple new people involved and the last Friday night at the club was filled with fresh faces. We started an Old World Escalation league (which I am doing Wood Elves for) and will probably do Heresy or Warmaster after that wraps.

Americans, Germans, SS, oh my!
Its been awhile since I’ve found time to update this - I’ve done a bunch of hobby and played several games since then - so I will try to summarize what I can!

Returning to the Wellspring - Giving V4 FoW Another Look
So. I’ve complained, whined, whinged, and badmouthed FoW V4 plenty on this blog. My club played a ton of V2 and a METRIC TON of v3. When v4 came out - it basically killed the game for my local group. Nobody liked the force selection, the smoke rules were a huge turn off, and (most critically I think) those first books were just BLAND.
