Nomadic Meanderings

Well, I've been away from the hobby for too long! A new job in a challenging school has left no time to attend to my Oldhammer projects.

So what do I do when I get a second to pursue my hobby? Start a new project of course!

Inspired by the fun I had playing confrontation at BOYL2014 and miniatures converted and painted by Whiskey Priest and Axiom, I'm making a Nomad Gang.

An Elf on a Quest to Oldhammer

I present to you the young Prince Epheldir:

Youngest of his brothers (and with but a single younger sister), Epheldir is drawn to seeking adventure in the lands of men. Fascinated by the way these short-lived beings squander their limited time in the world.

Hard BOYLed Treats - The Overdue, "What I bought at my weekend at theFoundry"

Ok, so I should really have (and intended to) posted this about two weeks ago. However, with a week in Wales at the Mother-In-Law's, exam results and preparing for a new job at a new school, I have been remiss and not put this tease of toys on my blog.

Anyway, I grew up reading 2000AD and have always loved the comic series containing big robots what kicks a*se!

OGRE Elf choices

For a game in September of 'Oldhammer Quest' run by Erny, I have decided to play an elf. I've had a quick look in the loft and found the following:

Imamu's Eradicators play their part in a CONFRONTATION! - SundayAfternoon BOYL2014

The final game of the weekend for me was something that I was really looking forward to. Not only was it being played on Whiskey Priest's excellent Ferrograd board, but it was also using a ruleset that I had dreamed about since reading them in WD years ago - CONFRONTATION!

JB (Asslessman) had devised the scenario and each of the 3 players had personal objectives (with a back story) and very different equipment and skills.

My Gang, Imamu's Eradicators, consisted of:

Jelani Imamu - Shotgun wealding leader of the gang

Old Father Tuma - The groups spiritual guide, who also packs a shotgun

Butcher - A quiet psycho with no ranged weapons, preferring a machete and a tiger claw

Rufus Blaine - A fat mechanic who prefers an old school crossbow to modern firearms

Jakob Payne - A young hothead with a flamer

The gang had three objectives:

1. Protect Abdul Goldberg (a piece of skum who has information that Imamu's superiors don't want in the wrong hands).

2. Eliminate as many gangers as possible (it's all about reputation!).

3. Stay away from the Imperial authorities (reputation has its down sides).
