After a year of very little gaming, the local group organised a Corona-friendly tournament with mandated masks. I jumped on the opportunity for some socialising. I have been trying to make a very infantry heavy Norscan army work, both in 2nd and 3rd edition, but the play-style of big blocks of slow infantry really doesn’t […]
Read More Masks of War tourney reportMy name? Long ago such worthless details fell from memory. I know only the lust for glorious battle – for blood, for victory! I seek only the Eye of Khorne – his favour, his grace, his Dark Gifts – that through them, I may be remade – reborn! Why do we raid your lands? Why […]
Read More Norscan Chosen“They know how to fight. That’s what you have to remember about them. People talk about the strength of their armour, or the ferocity of the Blood God’s worshippers, or the intimidating look of their horns and spikes. It’s their sheer skill at war that wins them their battles though.” —Captain Schultz, Mercenary Commander Breeding […]
Read More Norscan KnightsWith the new teleport spell, some infantry heroes have finally gotten a new lease on life. Orlaf the barbarian is certainly one of them.

For Kings of War in particular, which operates with multibases, it is really […]
Read More Multibase May-hemAmongst the Northmen, there are often a few Dawi-Zharr – fire dwarves. Although few in number, the inclusion of even a few of these mercenaries are a bad sign, as they are masters of creating vile and hideous war-machines. Their war engines are no mere machinery, but are instead horrible amalgations of flesh and metal, […]
Read More Norscan Chaos Dwarf Hellcannon“In Norsca, wolves and hounds prowl in the flickering shadows of the campfires made by the barbarian tribespeople of the frozen lands. The further north the tribe dwells, the more likely it is that the hounds that follow them will be mutants, their bodies swollen by the energies of Chaos. Brutish and bloodthirsty, the Warhounds […]
Read More Norscan Warhounds and SkaldThere is only one thing that is worse than the Norscan raiders.. The enemy within. Amongst the highest and lowest ranks in our society they hide. Scheming, plotting, and consorting with the dark powers. For what? For greed, the hunger for more power, money, women or simply food. Out of spite, envy or hate for […]
