New battle reports!!

Hi guys!! I was giving my friend Alan a bit of a Warhammer workout - he's thinking of getting back into it and wanted to test it out. We had three battles in the past few weeks, and unfortunately I lost 2 out of 3 - only won the first one - GAH!! The battle reports for the first two are online as follows, but I haven't gotten a batrep done for Game 3 yet - I'll post it as soon as I do...

And the following Pistolier Musician I converted!! I have included instructions also!! :)

Instructions:

(1) Parts
I began with teh following bits:
* 1 x Medieval horse(the unarmoured Empire/Brettonian warhorses)
* 1 x mounted body legs(Empire command frame)
* 1 x pistol(Milita boxed set)
* 1 x head w' feathered hat(Empire command frame)
* 1 x musician drum (Empire command frame)
* 1 x musician drumstick arm(Empire command frame)
* 2 x additional armour plates(the extra plates from the 6 Ed. soldiers boxed set)
* 1 x milita body(Milita boxed set)
* 1 x cavalry base

(2) Assembly
I gathered all the bits in a pile in front of me and began work.
(1) I assembled the horse and drilled a hole in his back for a pin(I pin all my cavalry instead of gluing them - makes for easier packing/transport)
(2) I then left the horse to dry and stuck the Milita body to the command frame legs
(3) Meanwhile, I took the arms and attached 1 of the armour plates to each one
(4) I stuck the head to the Milita body
(5) After approx. 30 mins drying, I glued the body and legs together
(6) I then attached the drumstick arm arm and glued the drumstick to the legs on the same side of the body
(7) I attached the pistol arm
(8) After approx. 60 mins drying time, I drilled a hole in the underside of the legs for pinning the rider during games
(9) Finally, I cut the pin to length and superglued it in place

VOILA!! One converted Pistolier musician!!

Status update - college has resumed!!

Hi all!! Sorry for not updating in a month if you're reading this - I was kinda busy with RL and modelling new units. Over Christmas I accuired 25 State Troops(Swordsmen), 20 Flagellants and 8 White WOlves - plus I still have a 1500pts plus backlog of unpainted models - hem,hem!! So anyway, basically this is to the effect that with college having resumed, UCD GameSoc has started again and I will hopefully now have more to report!! Games, painting, etc. Toodles for now!!

My record:

Hi all!! I have realised I neglected to post this to the blog when it's already on the fourms - sorry! *embarrassed* Here is my W/D/L ratio for my three armies so far(I have only really played with my Empire though):

Army name: Total army points: W/D/L:
Empire approx. 4000+ pts 4/4/5
Orcs & Goblins approx. 1500+ pts 0/0/0
Dwarfs approx. 1000+ pts 0/0/0

Earliest exploits!!

Hello again all!! I'm trying to put up some stuff for you to read while I get my camera a new data cable so I am posting below the links to threads on Warhammer-specific forums which I have created up to now RE: the Imerial Army - each list is in roughly chronolgical order:
