Spang Magakan

Spang Magakan, armed with the Gauntlet of Orktramar and Fido the squig, leader of Waaagh! Magakan. Much better than just 'That warboss over there', right?

The Changing Face of Warhammer

The Warhammer world is changing, and players who left the hobby 10 years ago might not even recognize their own armies anymore. But are the changes all for the better?  

In the last few years I have discovered myself playing more and more games with my Orc and Goblin army. I think this is largely due to the fact that I tend to play fairly regularly in tournaments, and as such I tend to use the army for which I have the most miniatures painted. Certainly I assumed that this was the main reason, and thought nothing more of it. But then in the last few months I have started collecting a Dwarf army. Not just any army of Dwarfs, however – the majority of the miniatures that I have collected for the army are very old. I have always liked the old Dwarf miniatures, and this I attributed to my dislike of largely single-pose regiments (such as the current range of Dwarf Hammerers and Longbeards). This theory was supported by the fact that I do quite like the current plastic range, which are multi-pose and easily converted. Again, I was satisfied with this explanation and ceased to ponder the matter. I try not to probe too deeply into my own subconscious, as it scares me (and those around me)…

Axeremastered: Warhammer Fantasy tournament

(or the tournament formerly known as Axemaster)

As the title suggests, this tournament is being run in the place of Axemaster, to prevent the sudden gap in the gaming calendar. It is being run with the full backing of Military Simulations, whose assistance is appreciated.

Axeremastered is a Warhammer Fantasy Battle tournament to be held on the 11th and 12th of November 2006 at the Hampton community centre. The tournament consists of 6 games played over the two days and costs $30 to enter.

Bone Giant Conversion

Well of late I have been inspired by all the bone giants I've seen on Khemri.co.uk so I thought I'd try to spruce up my own giant, which was a completely generic GW bone giant, with a not very good paint job. Along came a bottle of Mineral Turpentine and I got most of the 4 layers of paint off of it. Now my army lacks a centrepiece, sure the ushabti look great (at least i think so) but they arn't exactly large. So to make my giant a little different I thought I'd make it carry a banner/icon. This not only makes the giant look differernt and original, but adds a focal point to the army, increasing the look of the army overall.

STRAY SHOT KILLS PRINT-SERVITOR!

You will have noticed that there was no edition of the Hive Bottom Tribune during the last week. This was due to the unfortunate demise of our Print-Servitor.

It all started when the Ladies of the Night accidentally 'rescued' Weird Simon from the Pit Bar and Grill. The Singlets rescued him two week ago, but the Ladies where out for blood. Last week, they ran into the Singlets in the streets of Slime Pit harbour, just outside the Hive Bottom Tribune offices. The battle was terrible and bloody - Amanda Bang, the Ladies' Heavy, was shot early on, falling from the toxichem tank she was standing atop. The Ladies retaliated with such startling ferocity that the Singlets lost their nerve and fled, but not before causing great damage.

CHANGED: Club now not on 23rd September

The community center's given us some updated details of when the center will be closed. The club won't be held on Saturday the 23rd of September. It will be held on Saturday the 30th (ignore what this message used to say).

ESCHERS RESCUE WRONG STRIPPER!

The Ladies of the Night clashed with Death Wears a Green Singlet last week while attempting to liberate the strippers at the Pit Bar and Grill.

“It's shameful to think of women being used as objects for the gratification of smelly, sweaty men,” said Vanessa Stab, leader of the Ladies, “We where attempting to rescue Plenty O'Toole, and bring her into the sisterhood.”

The Singlets, who own the Bar, met the Ladies in bloody combat, both sides inflicting casualties before the Eschers decided to make a tactical retreat with their rescued sister.

Much to the surprise of the Ladies the stripper was not Plenty O'Toole, but Singlet member Weird Simon! It appears that Weird Simon was in drag as part of a bet when the battle took place, and the Eschers mistook him for Ms. O'Toole in the melee.

“We'll be back for Plenty O'Toole,” Said Ms. Stabb, “We're not done with these chauvinist pigs yet.”

Firebirds - Eldar Commission Army

You may or may not be aware, but im a commission army painter, so rather than the usual single-model commission jobs, i do whole armies(themeing, converting and/or painting).
Its a lot of fun(and it brings in some nice $$ for a bummy 17-yr-old like myself :D)

Anyway, i painted up 30 warpspiders around christmas for a guy's army.
