Warhammer Game by GamesWorkshop

Currently I am just getting started with this game. The 6th edition rules just came out and my friend as usual has got me into another game; I like to bug him about this fact but really I enjoy gaming and starting a new game is fun. The rules are actually a cross between Mordheim and Warmaster so the learning curve has been easier then aspect. The models used are the same scale as Mordheim.

Vampire Counts
    This is the army which I have chosen to play. I chose this particular group because I had been playing the Undead in Mordheim and I could reuse some of those character in my Vampire Count Army.

Mordheim Game by Games Workshop

This is a game developed some what from Warhammer. The most noticeable difference is that it uses fewer warriors. The game was set up so that small skirmish would be the main stage for the battle between players. Above you can see the town setup which I use for playing the game. Even though the beginning of the game starts with choosing and placing scenery, I setup the town so that is spurs up conversation with people I have over to my house. Although the current ground of the town is my Ping-Pong table, I plan to get some rough textured wall paper, attach the seems, cut to a 4'X4' square, and place it under the town. If I am able to find the type of wall paper that I want the ground of town should look like dirt or old cobble stone.

The following different bands are the ones I use in Mordheim campaigns.
Rieklanders -archers which like to keep you at a distance and pick up off when you get in the open.
Skaven -rat men which do best with heavy cover, which allows them to, "run up on yah."
Undead -dumb zombies who inspire fear and ignore pain for the most apart. They do not move fast but watch out when theysurround and refuse to go down easily.

Warmaster Game by Games Workshop

 This is a game revolves around the problems of commanding a large army and making sure that commands and orders make it to there destinations. The group of miniatures that I command are chaos, they are good at melee attacks, however if you keep them at a distance they have less of a chance of surviving. This is a very fun game however a lot of painting is involved.

One of the most important things about miniature gaming is painting your figures. I have found that it works well to carefully paint the main characters of the game, but the other do not need as much attention. In Warmaster there are so many troops (regular fodder, etc) that you really only need about 5 colors to make them look respectable. Always make sure to use a primmer  as well a as top coat for your figures, this will help them keep their paint on and look nice for longer. If you do not use a primer and a top coat on your figures, the paint on the figures can rub off by your fingers when you move them around during game play.
