Great video! Thank you for taking me down memory lane. I must have read that battle report 50 times as an 11 year old. All those colours everywhere…how could I not become a life-long hobbyist?!
Ah thanks Nick! Yeah, I know what you mean, I used to read the magazines over and over, and it captured and hooked me in to a world I’ve been in ever since 🙂
Strongly considering this issue as a candidate for a White Dwarf rematch battle report. You can mount a Necromancer on a manticore using the Old World index army, and adding some allies from Tomb Kings would get you very close to the army Dieter Hellsnicht uses here...
Just checked, and it's called an Abyssal Terror in the list, but it has wings and a poisonous tail, so it's basically a manticore. He can have the ruby ring of ruin to replicate the staff of flaming death, and the sword of battle to replicate the chaos runesword.
Yeah every time I read one I’m taken back to waiting patiently for White Dwarf every month to see what was coming, and Saturday bus trips into town to go to my local GW
What a brilliant issue! I hope you enjoy looking back at this one as much as I did!

I still have it.
Awesome
Really enjoyed that, looking forward to the next one!
Thanks! 🙂
I've got the Champions of Death still unpainted in their box... such cool models!
That was a nostalgic watch 😀
Thanks - going to try and make it a regular feature 🙂 I’ve done issues 166, 168 and 250 too
Nice one Si, love the old style battle reports much better layout I think. Look forward to another readthrough.
Thanks 🙂
Not sure if I read that one specifically but definitely brings back nostalgic memories, GW had a totally different vibe for a kid in the 90s!

Thats a Squat Rhino. In second edition the Squats could take Rhino's and Land Raiders.
Oh good spot - I should have realised those were squat runes, thank you!
Yay Steam tank!! (Chugging noises commence along with singing the Thomas the Tank engine theme)
You were right about that Battle report, reading it again was a lot of fun
@@hobbywaffle it's a corker! And I love the Dieter Hellsnicht model, it's one I keep wishing I had for my army...
