Warmaster players in or around The Hague Netherlands
« on: September 25, 2012, 04:35:44 PM »
Hi,

After a long sabatical I found my warmaster Empire army again in the closet. After looking on the net I am getting into the spirit again to do some table top warfare.  I still have the rulebook but haven't played table top games since a long long time (2001 ish?)so I need a refresh course. I am looking for laydback people that can interpid the rules and adjust accordingly to the spirit of the game and to have a fun game with. I am not looking for 10-13 year olds that argue and whine over every rule...sorry if that sounds hard but i remember them vividly  ::). I am looking for good warmaster players in the region of The Hague, Netherlands. If there is a group or club then that would be great.


I dug out my Empire army and this is what I have:
Proximately 60-70%  of the army is painted but I  still need to do something with the bases.
Halberdiers: 7 units  (1 unit are swordsmen and 1 unit of greatswords as alternative halbediers made from skirmish and character pack models just to add some variation)
Crosbowmen: 6 units (will re-base them 7 per base to get 7 units in total, looks better as well)
Knights: 4 units
Pistoliers: 3 units
Handgunners: 1 unit
Skirmishers: 2 stands but can make some more
Flagelants: 1 unit
canons: 2 units
Steamtank: 1
Grand altar: 1
Some characters etc etc

I still have some units new in blisters:
1 x pistoliers, 2 x handgunners, 2 x knights, 2 x flagelants, 3 x empire character packs (can make some more alternative units with), 2 x hellblasters and 2x  cannons. I think i got the griffon model somewhere as well but could not find it yet. So all in all quite a big force I think.

Some personal history:
I have played Games Workshop games since 1985 ish. Started with the second edition WHFB and 40k rogue trader. Warhammer fantasy roleplay soon after (played all campaigns as far as I remember). Been through several editions of WHFB and 40K and everytime wondering why there were always huge holes in the rules. I remember the frustrations of playing.

I played: Mighty Empires (one game could last forever it seems, great memories), epic 40k (dwarfs), Battlefleet Gothick (space marines), Space Hulk, Man O war (Dwarfs), WH40k (Space Wolves space marines), WHFB (Bretonian) and still have most armies in boxes.

I will concentrate on Warmaster though as those seem to be stable rules and everything fits in a small box and it looks great on the table. ;D

Greetings

Hi Alexander, sorry I'm not in the netherlands. Only want to say that is great to see that people came back to warmaster ruleset.

There is an opponent finder here that maybe could help. Good luck.

Bergen op Zoom is quite doable. Is there a group of people playing the game?   

Maybe i didn't see it but I could not find any discusions about general tactics and race specific tactics on here? Is there a thread about tactics?

Looking through all the boxes I found half an Orc army NIB  as well.  :o
It misses essential foot troops but all the nasty bits are there. 
-Trolls x 1
-Boar riders x 6
-Goblin wolf riders x 2
-Goblin wolf chariots x 2
-Black orcs x 2
-Giant x 2
-Rock lobbers x 2
-Orc characters x 2

And I found 3 assault towers NIB; Empire, Chaos and Orcs.

Ooooooh....

If you're at a loss as what to do with the Siege Towers,  I can happily supply a loving home for them.


LMK if you're interested.

Me, Roel and several others if I get this going. I am having a Belian player (Jo) over for a game tomorrow, and he know several other players and I might get Arjan to come in from Dort....

Unless you REALY go deep in playing/collecting, with the proper trades those will go a long way in providing the missing pieces of your O&G......

Yeah siege towers are OOP and with the prices on eBay at the moment, they might fetch a pretty penny!

hi, nice to know I have 3 oop collectables. I will not sell them though. ;D. Not sure yet if I want to finish the Orcs&Goblins as I am more interested in "realistic" human armies at the moment. Lets see how it goes.

Sorry, I haven't been on here for some time and haven't had the chance to play any game of warmaster yet because of being too busy with other stuff  ::) but I wanted to show some part of my army ( in different stages of painting). These were all done long time ago when warmaster came out.

I still have lots of  units in blisters but here are some pictures of my army thus far.

ps:
It seems the pictures are too big so there is a scroll bar underneath




Unit on the bottom will be a unit of swordsmen




Flagelants







Unit of greatswords behind the Crosbowmen
