There's a quote I see often on the loading screens of Total Warhammer that goes something like
>I'm sure he didn't love me the most; that honor goes to Isabella. But he loved me the longest.
said by Manfredd. What is that even supposed to mean? I thought he was turned sometime after Vlad took over Sylvania, so it's not likely he was a vampire longer than Isabella, even if he came before. Even if he was actually far older, what does it matter that you were loved the longest?
Aaron Hughes
Didn't get around to responding to the last thread. But Snikch isn't just an assassin, he's a ninja, and he triple wields, which you presumably wouldn't do unless you were dueling someone.
Magic items give additional -1 to enemy saves, cause d3 wounds per wound, can double his strength (to 8) 3 times per battle during the magic phase.
Snikch slays him.

Hey Veeky Forums, check out what I picked up for only 7 bucks! It's the first edition RPG...I was hoping to find the much preferred 2nd edition, but this is cool enough!
Kevin Evans
2nd edition is probably easier to get hold of and has a good pdf version. 1dt edition has sweet building floorplans in the back and stats for Zoats.
Can't say I'm not envious.
Christopher Taylor
So I wanna get some friends into WFRP and a chaos champion campaign seems like it'd be tons of fun, are any of the modules in the mediafire specifically for chaos characters?
Joshua Baker
You've done well, that's in really good condition given its age.
Ryan Anderson
You wouldn't happen to want to get a campaign going online would you? I'm really looking to play 1st or 2nd edition with a group, but no one is really near my area...
Some of the inside artwork...love it..
Zachary Hall
Thanks! Going to post a few pics of the inside... It's really a beauty of a book... My request still stands though guys. If you or anyone knows of any one looking to start a small online campaign for with a newbie, for Warhammer Roleplay, please let me know, I'd love to join, or help get something started...
Here's another color inside shot...
Gavin Brooks
Not him but I've always been curious, do people play RPG's online with text or with mics?
Jayden Thompson
I just play with coworkers when we all have off the same day so it's pretty sporadic, usually we just play on discord with mics but occasionally buy some beers and play in person
Adrian Bailey
My group uses mics.
Nicholas Wright
It further illustrates how Mannfred's personality is: 1) Daddy issues 2) Petulant 3) Know-it-all
By bragging he's still got more love than Isabella, he tries to make himself seem more important.
That being said, what core army would Araby mist likely fight alongside for use as proxies? Tomb Kings? Empire? High Elves?
Dylan Collins
Welp, in the Night Goblin squatting panic I bought 110 Night Gobbos plus 7 Fanatics, a shaman, and a boss.
I didn't even like Night Goblins, but the 7e paint starter set Night Goblin was the first mini I ever painted and I felt like it was my last chance.
Joseph Hernandez
Check out the character sheets.. xD love it...
Kevin Butler
Ah, Blanche.
So who's your favorite Warhammer artist?
Does anyone have that big image chart an user made showing all the artists and an example of their work? I think it was Space Marine themed.
Austin Martinez

Jack Wright
Whoops, wrong pic..
Hmm favorite artist? Not sure. Who ever did the cover art to the 6th edition Bretonnia book has my heart forever...
Joshua Sanchez
Awesome, looks even better in color......here's a few more I snapped if you guys like.. Still looking for a gaming group... just tossing it out there...

Deciding to get into fantasy/AoS, and I'm liking the look and idea of the lizardmen. Something about dinos riding dinos is great. Question is, local meta notwithstanding, how bad are they? What can I expect in trying to transition from 40k to fantasy?
Ayden Johnson
1st bit of advice. Get into Warhammer Classic...Skip AOS.
2nd. Lizardmen bad? No way, when played right, they can be terrifying... Well formidble at least. Skinks...don't underestimate skinks.
3rd. What army did you play in 40k? Warhammer Classic is a much slower, more methodical game. I enjoy it way way more than 40k in terms of game. It's very chess like in terms of thinking ahead.
Movement, and turns in 8th (and 9th) is vital. You don't want to get out manevuered, or flanked etc... You need to have units that actually work together to accomplish survivibility. not like in 40k where you just grab as much shooty stuff as possible. Trust me, if you like fantasy, and strategy and not a hyper active kid with 0 attention span, you'll like Warhammer....
AOS is 40k with a "Fantasy" spin..Avoid it.
Christian Ortiz
So do all the old kits still have square bases or have they switched to round now?
Robert Edwards
I play marines, guard, and eldar. My general playstyle is a lot more static than is probably advised, so that might be an issue. So would getting the 'start collecting' box for the scalies be a solid choice? I'd assume it would be, but aside from it what else would be a good base to add too?
Alexander Moore
Some round, some still square.
Benjamin Carter
I don't think what armies you play in 40K will matter much as the two games are totally different.
Lizardmen are a good army, the start collecting is okay but the knights haven't aged very well.
A fairly average list will have a big block of temple guard with a slann, big block of saurus and then some skink skirmishers and some big dinos.
Anthony Nelson
Does the infamous chinaman still make OOP fantasy armies/models?
Ryder Davis
I found a website of people devoted to RPing as Bretonnians online. Surprisingly still active. I'm fighting my every instinct to bully them.
Bentley Wright
Think I've got a general gist of what I'll plan on getting first then. Temple guard though, I checked the store site, and the only guard are the saurus guard. Are they the same thing? And thanks for the advice.
Anthony Davis
When you have a strong source of autism, resist the urge to interact.
Mock them from a distance, trying to get into the face of insane communities is how we got /mlp/, /trash/, and /pol/.
Nathaniel Flores
Yeah it appears they've renamed them to Saurus Guard for some reason but they're essentially the same.
If you want more inspiration there's a handbook here that goes into detail on every unit.
Although, I wouldn't sweat over it too much since it was wrote for 8E.
Josiah Thomas

Blake Walker
According to ET, Mannfred was in Nehekhara with Vlad/Vashanesh.
Daniel Williams
We don't talk about ET here.
It's AOS canon.
Jayden Morris
>Favoured Artist?
Adrian Smith without a doubt
Ethan Adams
Well, if that reassures you, Ngobbos are an excellent unit, and one of the ways to really push a competitive O&C army.
Field them against a melee-oriented army and drink deeply from their tears
Blake Butler
>Adrian Smith Whoever it is that did a lot of art for the 7th ed Army Books Also Blanche

Teclis ain't cool enough to be Benedict Cumberbatch
James Young
I think you've got it the other way around. That alien looking motherfucker
Ryan Williams
Teclis is a poor man's Raistlin rip off, and not cool
Benedict Cumberbatch is Doctor Sherlockhan Strange, the Dragon of the Lonely Mountain
there's really no competition here
Dominic Young
Does anyone else love that Total War Skarsnik can buff all his Goblins to have better weapon skill and charge bonuses than Chosen? Watching gobbo archers give anything unarmoured a good kicking is golden.
William Richardson
I really don't get the whole cult worship Benbongo Cucumber has He's an ugly alien looking piece of shit, all he has is an accent
Andrew Bell
What do, /whfb/? Its been in decline ever since AoS hit, but now it finally reached its bottom... I lost all interest in tabletop gaming. All aspects of it - collecting, conversion, painting, playing - nothing is appealing anymore. What do?
Anthony Kelly
He's got a nice voice, and tumblr has had more bizarre worship in the past. Hooch Pandersnatch isn't that much of a stretch.
Andrew Roberts
Try different games Take a break

BOrc is the general Lords in the Savage Orc block Banner with Night gobbos for 20billion poison shots Each Orc Big Boss goes with a Stone Troll unit so they have Ld8 and not 4 for Stupidity if they wander too far from the general
Jacob Johnson
Got a strong love/hate relationship with Blanche's art.
A lot of his older stuff and things like city scapes or space ships are really pretty great.
I always hated his "sketch" pieces that were always splattered in red paint. Ruined the Inquisitor and Liber Chaotica books.
Dylan Smith
Maybe 1 big unit of 30 night goblins, with 2 small ones might be better. You get more fanatics, and the shots are the same.
Hudson Jackson
But if I did 30 + 10 + 10, I'd only get 30 poisoned shots with the Spider Banner
Isaac Thompson
And with 50 globlins you'll get 35 of them.
However, you get 6 more fanatics with the smaller units
Josiah Wright
Spread the unit wide enough and you'll get 50 though Range, however, might prove troublesome
Lucas Phillips
a 25 wide units of goblin is going to lose combat and ranks from fucking clanrats.
Michael Morgan
You wouldn't want them to go fight though, just shoot You can always reform if the enemy gets close enough
Colton Adams
But if I'm not mistaken, queeks armor can reflect some wounds. If we are talking tabletop, the assassin has a better statline, but there far more that can go wrong against him.
If we are talking lore, I wouldn't discount queeks ferocity. The guy is completely mad and if the headtaker novel has any truth in it, he may actually have talking spirits that watch his back.
It's a batman vs superman argument in the end: the only solution is they work together better then against each other.
Christopher Bennett
The fact is, 25 models wide, it's ridicolusly easy to charge them. They have a fuckhuge front, and they're not a tarpit.
Justin Peterson
Reminder that mathwise Valten is stronger than Archaon, and before getting nerfed into oblivion, with a bit of luck, Thogrim Grudgebearer could kill Archaon in a single turn
Isaiah Jackson
With luck any melee named character could kill Archaon in a single turn, and vice versa
Colton Bell
Thoughts?
Juan Ramirez
>Teclis is not Cumberbatch
Take a long, good look at his face.
Evan Sanders
You two morons know you're on a board dedicated to roleplaying, right?
Ayden Smith
Agreed
Asher Myers
Vanilla / 10 Kinda boring to be honest, but whatever floats your boat my man. Give it a go and see how it feels. I'd take more big things myself
Connor Mitchell
There's a difference between forum and imageboard roleplaying.
Anthony Butler
Tony Ackland.
Christian Cox
>very very heavy skirmishers
Ian Anderson
You keep telling yourself that, but I've seen how a good chunk of you roleplay.
Evan Torres
What about a meme list like this?
Ayden Wilson
If I ran into someone with enough models to pull it off, I'd be impressed but also disgusted enough to play them
Nathaniel Thomas
Right guys, so I recently joined a WFRP game and one of the other players is far into that guy territory. >plays a dwarf > an atheist dwarf > who shaves
The guy didn't even read any of the fluff on dwarfs even after the gm sent him a wiki article on the war of vengeance. The GM is a pretty chill guy and had a lot of trouble finding enough players so he doesn't want to kick him. I had a chat with him after the game and he seems to have only played pathfinder before and has never played a game where the setting mattered. The out of the other players, one has sided with his stance saying that a player shouldn't be punished for not knowing about the setting and the other didn't show up to the first session but rolled a stereotypical warhammer dwarf and seems well versed in the lore. I am playing a bailiff going into politician, and devout sigmarite and was wondering what advice you might have on how best to deal with that guy.
Xavier Robinson
>atheist >that shaves
Let him enjoy not having friends
Most that guy problems tend to solve themselves if the GM is not a little bitch
Noah Myers
NPCs should confuse him with a halfling.
Joseph Flores
His character was infact introduced by the GM as looking like a tall fat halfling.
Austin Jackson
Are you submitting to the crapfest that is AOS then? I don't think they sell "start collecting" boxes for Warhammer Fantasy Classic. I'm telling you avoid AOS...it's not a very deep game. You should still be able to find Lizardmen armies around, and not for hugely inflated costs like Brets and Tomb Kings.
You shouldn't have *too* hard of a time transitioning from 40k, as the other poster said, it's a completely different mechanic, but you mentally have to be ready to play a different style.
So besides something like meetup.org what's a good way to find gamers not only in my area, but even online? Aka, people looking to start an online game of Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay?
Xavier James
Good. I hope it annoys him greatly.
Benjamin Reed
Best Advice? Is it an online campaign? Boot him, and get me an invite!
Eli James
Unironically Roll20
There might be a lot of shit in there, but i found a lot of great players i play all sorts of game with.
Met my current GF through it
Brayden Ross
Hey thanks mate...and met your GF on it? That's one heck of a selling point there lol..
Evan Sullivan
Not necessarily submitting to AoS so to speak. It's just that in my area the only actual lgs that I know of are GW, so my options are kind of limited. Of course, if i was desperate enough, I could take an hour or so to drive to a better place to play, but that option is also kind of limited.
Jonathan Johnson
>Are you submitting to the crapfest that is AOS then? I don't think they sell "start collecting" boxes for Warhammer Fantasy Classic Are you fucking retarded, user? The Start Collecting! boxes contain the same miniatures we use in Fantasy you fucking dumbass
Joseph Baker
you can put them on square bases and play your scalies in both games, desu
James Cook
So... is the hostility really needed here? Look back at what you wrote, and your life, and do some searching..
Ayden Morgan
I don't like AoS but at the end of the day you have to play what people are playing near you and if that's what they play they kind of have you at an impasse.
I would just put them on squares and play AoS if you have to, you'll probably enjoy it for a bit before you start getting bored. Then you can move to Kings of War or 8E/9E once you have a bigger collection. I'm sure you can convince some of the people at the shop to play them as well.
Jeremiah Reed
>atheist
I'd have Tzeentch turn him into a Chaos Spawn.
Angel Diaz
He was being a bit of a nonse, all he said was that he was getting a start collecting box and he assumed he was playing AoS.
Plus as I said people play what other people are already playing, he will probably have to play AoS at some point.
Elijah Powell
You go on the GW site and look at the Start Collecting! boxes and come back & tell me that they don't contain the exact same models we had in Fantasy I'm perfectly comfortable with what I wrote and how my life is going
Carter James
sellin my fantasy armies for food right meow on craigsbutt feelz bad man
Eli Martinez
>mark of chaos isn't on steam
Nolan Rivera
Lizardmen and vampire counts.
Nicholas Edwards
Um okay, yea I made a mistake. You see in life, we humans do that. It's a horrible thing and definitely needs to be over reacted to.
David Robinson
lol because Mark of Chaos was horrid. Total War is far far superior, literally in every way.
