Hi All,As we sit around and wait for updates to roll out about the Old World release I thought I would start to examine the old Warhammer Fantasy armies and their current state. My thought experiment for each of these articles is: If I was a new player who wanted to collect this army? What…

Marching Towards the Old World – Age of Sigmar
Hi All,This will be my final article in the series examining the editions of Warhammer Fantasy and what facets could be applied to the upcoming Old World release. I know this will be controversial for several reasons: Age of Sigmar’s launch was a dumpster fire, from the rules to the lore and some people (justifiably…
Marching Towards the Old World – 8th Edition
Hi All,This is one of the more conflicting parts of the series for me. On the one hand, this edition was the one that killed Warhammer Fantasy. There are glaring issues with the rules as they were written, and it is easy to see a few are thinly-veiled cash grabs. Additionally, the army book balance…
Marching Towards the Old World: 7th Edition
Hi All, this is the second installment of our series as we look at what aspects of the older Warhammer Fantasy Editions should be adapted in the new Old World game. We are moving on from 6th edition to 7th. This is actually the first edition of fantasy I played, starting out with the brand…
Marching Towards the Old World: 6th Edition

What was the epic conclusion of the narrative?Our epic finale was an extremely close victory, with order…
Requiescat in Pace – An Argument for Playing “Dead” Games
I feel like that for some players starting out in 40k, or Age of Sigmar, is only the first step on a bizarre road that leads them down a rabbit hole of games. Everything starts out normally, (well as normal as us gamers are) with your standard tabletop options, maybe branching out into Kill Team,…
Return to the Old World – Warhammer Fantasy Battle Report
One of the great things about this time of year is that it gets a little easier to schedule games as people have more time off. Recently, I have been able to find a group of people who still enjoy playing the 8th Edition Warhammer Fantasy (with some variations including 6th edition and the Warhammer…
Managing Expectations
I’ve always had a strange relationship to WHFB. I learned to play 7th edition in college with a buddy and I would squeeze in a couple games a year. In the following years games would be hard to come by, to say nothing of narrative or competitive events. This was partially due to my own…
GW Grognard: Roll another D1000
