    I've been wanting to do one of these since I started this channel - it's a refight of the battle report from White Dwarf 229 using the latest Old World rules, and as close to the original forces as possible.
    Let me know if there's a White Dwarf Battle Report you'd love to see refought!
    Also as promised, you can find ‪@NickDavisAltworld‬ retrospective on the issue here:

    300 year old minis, still aren’t painted. 😂 Classic warhammer people. The old school map, and ghe enthusiasm brought back memories though, so it was good fun

      To be fair, I've only had the Empire a year since I got them in trade for a sisters of battle army I'd had for 14 years and hadn't painted 😂

      All of mine were painted I had to borrow some unpained ones from Ben😁
      Although The night goblin archers were only painted this year and I bought them when Warhammer 4th ed first came out. 😂

    Fun content! I just wanted to let you know that exposure to sunlight isn't good for paint on the miniatures. The colors will fade over time and be less lively.

    • @90percentgeek
      @90percentgeek  Před měsícem +2

      Thanks for the heads up! Just checked and my mini cabinet is next to a north facing window which is probably a good thing. Think having them outside for a couple of hours for a game is probably ok though.

    Hey, just I found this old White Dwarf two days ago and read the battle report. Shame your cannon crew didn't abandon their weapon and just charge the goblins in melee.

      That could be very cool. I've been wanting to do a Beastman army and this might be the incentive I need. Michael has the Tomb Kings box which is a lot of the stuff you need for the Undead army actually - maybe just swap in a Necromancer to lead it instead of a Tomb King. I'm off to OldWorldArmyBuilder to work out how they compare on points!

      @90percentgeek  Před měsícem

      I've just added them up in Old World Army Builder. I had to use a Vampire list with loads of allies for the Undead list, which comes in at just over 2K for what had previously been a 3K list in 5th edition. The beasts list is about 2170 again for what had been a 3K list. If I can get a beasts army together this year then we can definitely play it, might bring it down to 2K each by reducing some of the magic items or unit sizes very slightly.

    Looked absolutely fantastic.... I think when the pillar and fanatics land on a unit they come out the others side... so when landing on the BSB would have landed on the night gobos and to the rear of them.

    • @90percentgeek
      @90percentgeek  Před měsícem +2

      Might have made a difference, though I think the fanatic moved sideways through the BSB into the empty space in front of the night gobbos.
