A small note on page 10 about a black Scorpion (a real one) attacking some Empire Halberdiers. Is this a cryptic clue suggesting that the next Rulebook 8th edition supporting boxed set will be Tomb Kings vs Empire or are GW just having a laugh ?!

a Superb Warhammer Fantasy Battle Report (great photos and even better story)

BatPadre, one of the Warhammer Battle Reporter forum's most valued members has come up with an Epic of a Fantasy Battle Report ! Zombie Pirates (Vampire Counts) vs, err... Living Pirates (Empire)

I've just posted the report which has great pictures and a fantastically compelling storyline on the:-

Warhammer Fantasy Battles Hub

All credit to Padre, he's the king of Battle Reporting !

Here's the:-

...where you can find Padre's other great reports (I thoroughly recommend the Vampire Counts vs Dwarfs battle).

Warhammer Fantasy Battle Video Reports now on 2d6.blogspot.com

Battle Report Videos on the Warhammer Fantasy Reports Hub !

After watching a couple of decent Video battles recently I have decided to start adding some of them to the Battle Reports blog (2d6.blogspot.com). I don't know why I didn't think of it sooner really ?!

Here's a small taster of things to come...

Warriors of Chaos vs Vampire Counts Battle Report Video

The Battle Reports site will continue to concentrate on mainly written reports with maps / photos because I think you get more out of them in terms of tactics and learning the game. However, when I find a good video report (just like when I find a good narrative / story report) that I think has a lesson or 2 and is well presented, I will add it to the hub.
