A keen Warhammer Fantasy gamer has bought a whole metal miniature forest goblin Warhammer Battle army (93 minis) on eBay for $183.50 ! All the miniatures are now out of production at Games Workshop !!

What a bargain. It included:-

54 Forest Goblin Warriors armed with Hand weapon and shield. This includes command models.

20 Forest Goblin/Goblin Archers

15 Giant Spiders

Giant Spider Riders (You can easily use some of the above warriors for riders as well, they fit wondefully)

He bought the army from a link on this site, If you're not using eBay, why not !

Here are the full details, I wish I had known about this sale myself. Check this out:-

Forest Goblin Army Miniatures on eBay - all metal


A nice aspect of owning this army, other than having a very rare and unique force deployed on the tabletop is that you can field the awesome gobbo warboss and his pet spidey below !

"Shaman Slayer" by Nathan Long will be published by Black Library (owned by Games Workshop) in October 2009

from Black Library...

"When Gotrek and Felix travel north to seek the remaining members of the Order of the Fiery Heart, they find themselves with new companions and allegiances. Of course, there are rumours of beastmen lurking in the Drakwald, but there is far more to the story than they could have imagined. When they discover that the malignant forces of Chaos are at work, Gotrek and Felix find themselves battling not only for their honour, but for the very future of the Empire itself."

New Warhammer Forum Warfare Game

Tweet

Share on Tumblr

Lots of Fantasy Battle Reporter forum updates to report:-

First of all, thanks for all the recent support and new joiners.

We recently upgraded the forum to version 3 of phpBB. In a nutshell this means there's lots more we can do to have fun :) and we reckon we're going to be the best Warhammer forum on the internet (note: we've always been the friendliest !)

1) Forum Warfare !

First off, we're starting a forum warfare game. You decide which race to support, you post new threads or add to existing ones for gold crowns which you can spend in the forum shop to buy allegiance to your army of choice and then participate in the intra-forum war!

There will be various "War Games" (details still being worked on) and the more you post the better prepared you will be to play a winning part.

We're planning to add mounts, weapons, armour and magic items to the shop. Here's the intro:-



2) The Arcade

We have over 30 browser based arcade games in the forum for members (you just need to join and make one post, ie. say hello in the Intro thread for a gold crown) and you can join in the high score quest. You pay 1 gold crown per game and if you post a high score you earn all the gold crowns that were paid on that game since the last high score was posted.

BilboBaggins himself is our current arcade champion, I'm told the bar is not set too high but I sure cannot beat him (except in asteroids and 13 days of hell - my favourite !)

We'll be adding 1 or 2 new games every week and getting rid of the least popular ones. There are 5 free games too all you need to do to play those is become a member.

3) The Painting Competition

We have simplified the painting comp so anyone can enter up to 3 entries of any miniatures.

You have to show a photo of the unpainted miniature in one thread (with a note next to the miniature saying something like "Battle Reporter forum painting competition") and then you're away.

We're going to give roughly 10 weeks for each painting competition (September's has just finished so the next comp for November will start shortly, get painting now !). All entries earn 25 gold crowns each.

This is just a way to get us all painting regularly and to have some extra fun in the process.

The image above is one of Kiwi (John's) crypt ghoul entry. He looks after the Stumpy Heaven blogsite - far too many Dwarfs there for my liking, their necks are are bit too tough for my Vampire Army's liking ;)

Here are some of the other September entries:-



One last thing, our forum is free and that's the way we plan to keep it. Also, if you're not friendly, please go somewhere else, we only like friendly people :D

new Warhammer Fantasy Battle Report hub design

Tweet

Share on Tumblr

The Warhammer Fantasy Battles hub is getting a makeover and some more reports.

I've made it easier to navigate around the site and will resume adding Battle Reports tomorrow.

There are now individual links to all reports by format, length, pts value and writer. Previously, you might have had to scroll through multiple pages or see more reports on one page than you were interested in. Now you can go direct to the report you want to see most. Also, you can use the Contents Filter to narrow down your report selection or you can use the google search box which searches the hub.

I've added a recent comments box at the foot of the page so you can check out the reports that people are commenting on most.

Warhammer Invasion Card Game (Kingdoms, Quests & Combat) Out Soon

Tweet

Share on Tumblr

There's Great artwork and potential in the new Warhammer Invasion game published by Fantasy Flight Games, I think it's released in October 2009

The first I heard of this was from a friend called Sever14 from the Battle Reporter forum. I started to check it out, egged on by the great artwork and I like what I see and what I read.

Here's the summary from Fantasy Flight Games:-

Warhammer: Invasion The Card Game is a two-player card game of intense warfare, clever kingdom management, and epic questing. Players must carefully allocate their resources as they seek to build their kingdom, complete quests, and attack the enemy’s capital.

Will you play the indestructible grudge-bearing Dwarfs, the shrewd and manoeuvrable Empire, the savage and destructive Orcs, or the entropic and mutating forces of Chaos? Or will you cleverly craft an alliance, playing the combined might of the forces of either Order or Destruction?

and here's a nice flashy intro to paste into your browser:-
