So if you read the the Bell of Lost Souls website you might have seen my very first article published today.

WFB: Dreaming of a Future



I have been playing Bretonnians since 7th, which isn't as long as some of you, but even I have my ears perk up at rumors that a new book "might" be in the works. Even I can dream of what the future might mean for Bretonnia.

I tend not to listen to the rumors, I am of the mind set that until it is published and on the shelf, as a result I couldn't even begin to guess what is being said. Doesn't mean I don't have wishes.

Wish List-keep in mind these are my opinions:

• New Hippogryph would be cool, I love the looks of the 8th Ed monsters and would love to see our one monster in the same style.

• Fey Enchantress. She's a nice looking model but she doesn't even have a proper base size. Just a good model refresh, her skills are great as is.

• Pegasus. What is with the fluff being better than the models? Aloof, proud, able to take on armies on their own with the flexibility of hit and run tactics, I so can't believe they are such pansies. Don't get me wrong they are good and I use mine regularly but they do not pack as much of a punch as I would expect, and being limited to one unit unless there is a Lord on peg makes then less useful. A refresh of the models would be good to get them on par with other monstrous cavalry.

• Cavalry. Seriously disappointed that once 8th Ed hit that our cavalry, which is supposedly bred warhorses superior to all others and now we aren't even second best in ability. Would love to see them improved.

• Grail knights could use an overhaul. They are the type of unit I expect to be survivable and equal in their skills and abilities as a chaos juggernaut. These are the guys who have found the Grail, drank from the cup...yet they are as weak as an Errant knight.

• Banner of the Lady. Would love to see thus negate steadfast, then it might actually prove useful again.

I love the fluff, I love the lance formation, even most of the weapons and stuff. Even the models are still nice. Plastic kits would be nice too.

Overall they just need to tweak a few things so the rules flow better with 8th.

That's just the opinion of me and the stuff I can think of at the moment.

Is there anything you want to see?

Dice Bags

 

I will post a lot more about this when I am more awake, but I am excited to have finished another 3 custom ordered dice bags to be mailed out tomorrow.Two other orders are nearly complete as well.
Considering how much of my life I insisted I wasn't crafty I sure spend a lot of time doing crafts and liking it!

If you want to order your own bag email kippersmelee@gmail.com and we will talk details.

WFB: Bretonnians vs Chaos



We play games at home as often as we can stand, usually it is preparing for one tournament or another but sometimes we play just to play. Tonight was one of those days: 2 games of X-Wing and then a 3000 point game of Warhammer.

WFB: Where do you belong?

 



As kids we were segregated by "cliques" of friends and now as adults it is by gaming clubs. We game with our clubs, we attend tournaments with our clubs, we eat, we drink and we laugh with our clubs. Hopefully our clubs are not as segregated as our "cliques" were.

WFB: Becoming a Woman with Dice



 



Computer games were so addicting that I started getting phone calls at all hours of the night so when we moved I said no more. Little did I know what I would be getting myself into when I agreed to go into that Games Workshop store and buy my first Warhammer army.
