The Marauder wolf riders are amazing and if I didn’t occasionally want to theme my wolf riders those are what I would use exclusively. Good luck with your army. Mine didn’t feel very strong, but it was a lot of fun tearing around the battlefield at high speed.

Well, if you want to contact me I did set up an email for the channel at dmgashbad@gmail.com. That said, I did so commission banners way back in the day, but I don’t think it’s something I’m looking to get back into. The issue is I paint so slowly it’s probably not worth the price I’d have to charge.

Reason i looked this warhammer up is cause i remember how cool the figures looked. I never owned em, but i had no clue there was solo play too

Well, yes. But really any cooperative game can be played solo if you are willing to run all the characters.

Thanks. I appreciate it.

Thanks. I’ll texture some walls or floors with rocks from the back yard. I’ve tried aluminum foil, but for whatever reason I tend to get sharp angles on the foil that punches little pockmarks in the foam, but I can see how that can make some good wall texture.

Thanks. He’s an old metal High Elf Shadow Warrior from Warhammer Fantasy Battles.

Thanks. As soon as I get some time, I’ll set up another game. It’s just now I’m doing a paint-on-demand thing. I play the game, then go back and paint the models I didn’t have and photograph them later. So depending on how much new stuff I roll up the video could take a while.

Thanks. It’s how the old battle report videos were done. It’s kind of a relic of it’s time at this point. And happy to present it. It does seem like something a Mr. Solo Tabletop would enjoy.

Those golems and rats were rough. But you know Raskin. He lives for the abuse.

Shadow Walker from the High Elf Shadow Warriors.

That is correct, one of those middlehammer Warhammer models. Thanks!

Thanks. I was going for a chrome effect, but at least it worked for this scenario. Just finished another game of Rusty Dagger, so I should have a new report in a couple days.

Thanks. It’s slow going but I’m still moving forward.

Yeah, if only the good die young these guys will keep going forever.

@@dmgashbad4908 ))

I mean, they tried. Silver Tower, Hammerhal, Cursed City. None of them seemed as good as the original. Although I might try Blackstone Fortress if I got ahold of a copy for a good price…

Not very long. I think it’s usually less than an hour, not including setup.

The armor restriction is probably a good idea going forward. It keeps people (like me) from hanging out in lower level dungeons saving up to buy lots of armor before leveling up. I think running through the Lair of the Orc Lord stuff gave me access to really good weapons that I wouldn’t have had access to otherwise.

Ooh. Ok, that’s something to shoot for.

Aww. And you guys are my favorite band of degenerates.

It’s true, although I try to run things as much as possible from the book. What I think I’m going to do to get back to harder games is to use the small Domain of the Horned Rat expansion from White Dwarf with a brand new party based on the Vermintide game.

Nice easy one. ;)

Even the Louts deserve one now and then.

@@dmgashbad4908 Agreed! The boys were super lucky. Probably back to the grindfest next One. ;)

I have. I don’t own the rules, but I did pick up Five Parsecs from Home, and I really, really want to get that going at some point. I was also looking at Warlord Ascendant as a way to get more mileage out of some of these models.

@@dmgashbad4908 I do like the designs on the shields. It reminds me of my joke about steak holders.

For sure. Maybe a nice hard quest where I don’t let myself use any rerolls.

Can do (at least, I don’t think it will take seven months for the next game).

Or by Batman logic, we’re probably not going to die as heroes. We’ll probably live long enough to become the villains.

Verminlord has entered the chat...

I think there are plenty of ways to make higher levels more difficult. I could level up faster, giving me less time to acquire magic items and armor. I could avoid the Lair of the Orc Lord adventures, which give you the opportunity to get really nice magic weapons. And finally, I could leave the Pit Fighter behind. He feels a little like a crutch, and swapping him with something like a Witch Hunter or Elf would dramatically reduce the power level of the party.

The core game includes all these rules as it was always a coop / solo game

Yep, what he said. I only specify that it’s a solo game because it was meant to be played by four people, each controlling a character, and here it’s just me running all four.

The game has built in enemy behavior. All enemies will distribute as evenly among the heroes as possible with extras drawing hero tokens at random.

It’s been a while, but it’s not going away. Thanks for everyone’s patience.

Thanks!

No problem. Glad you found it helpful (even if helping Dwarfs is not usually what I do).

No wall here. They are 3d prints from Highland Miniatures.

You are welcome. Good luck with your new army.

Sounds good. If nothing else it makes painting them really fast.

Thanks. I keep telling people about my brilliance, but very few believe me.

Thanks. I’d make more, but my painting has been lagging.

But you can always use the list from Ravening Hordes, right? The Spider Riders, Gigantic Spiders and Arachnarok are still in that list.

We play on 4’x4’ tables, but really that’s a holdover from 8th edition. You could use smaller tables these days. It’s great you’re starting with small games. I think they are not talked about enough.

@@dmgashbad4908 awesome! Cant wait to get my elves on the table now.

Hmm. I did just buy the Forces of Fantasy book for Warhammer: The Old World. Maybe Raskin should start assembling an Empire army…

Ugh. That’s a pretty significant mistake on my part, and would make that scenario a lot more difficult.

Thanks, that’s very nice to hear. And yes, actually, there are quite a few solo RPG style miniature games. Off the top of my head, there’s Forbidden Psalm and its related games, Five Leagues from the Borderlands and its variations, Warlord Ascendant, County Road Z, Rangers of Shadow Deep, Hametsu, Majestic 13, The Doomed… As I was writing this I kept remembering more. Of that list I’ve only played Rangers, but several of them I do hope to get to some day. And then of course there are the board games like Gloomhaven, Warhammer Quest, Descent, Zombicide: Black Plague, etc.

Thanks!

This is how old fashioned I am: I miss internet forums. Everything like Discord, Twitter, Pinterest, etc. just seem like forums that don’t work as well. But thanks, and if you ever do stop by, I’ll be the old guy that looks about two generations removed from Scandinavia.

@@dmgashbad4908 Haha,. :D I agree though. Actually having a topic section from other discussions. How did that become less popular over all discussions at the same time?? I don´t get it

Nice. I think I lost most of my original books when my backpack got stolen a couple decades ago. Still, it was nice to get back to it, easy to prep for. It’s weird that a MSHRPG stat block for a supervillain is smaller than a goblin’s stat block in D&D 5e.

Sadly, no. I didn’t even make proper frozen terrain for this. I dunno, I always looked at Frostgrave and thought, “couldn’t I just play Mordheim?”

@@dmgashbad4908 As far as I'm aware, the only difference seems to be that the bands are led by mages rather than warriors.

Thanks. Yeah, when a companion has something to do it’s more of a nice surprise than anything else, but then again the companions with the better skills or stats either died or refused to join me. I don’t think the game is orphaned. I joined the Facebook group to access the fan adventures posted there, and the author was talking about a hard copy and a second edition not too long ago.

Good to hear, it took a while to get added to the Facebook group but it happened so I’m more hopeful.

Thanks. I tried to do a chrome effect on the Bloodletter following Sorastro’s video guide to painting Ultron. I actually think it photographs better than it looks in real life.

Thanks! I definitely try to aim for the higher end of the cynicism spectrum. If you don’t expect too much of your heroes, you’re rarely disappointed.

Thanks. I am happy to say the game did happen, and the system is about as awesome and stupid as I remember. The partially-randomly generated superhero team of Titanmaster, The Evening Highlander and Goldpants were able to foil the nefarious plot of Infernal Monologue.
