Warhammer Old World Armies (Large Picture Dump)

Over the past several months the wargaming madness has been hard at work on finishing armies for Warhammer The Old World.  Next weekend (Memorial Day weekend in the US) I'm hosting a game called "The Battle of the Six Armies" at KublaCon 2024 in Burlingame, California.

I'm sharing a ton of pictures below that I've been taking with my phone (well, two different phones during this period).

First up, the beginnings of my High Elf army ... being used as a detachment in my game.

Next up are my Tomb Kings.  I've missed taking a picture of my Liche Priest on Bone Dragon for some reason ... will have to snap one of those ...

I have a butt load of Bretonnians.  The core army keeps to the same heraldry, with the exception of the Grail Knights who are a mix.  Hard to tell, but there are 4 units of Knight of the Realm, 2 units of Men-at-Arms, and not pictured I have Knights of the Realm on foot with sword and shield ... missed that unit somehow in the picture taking.

How about some Lizardmen?  Yup.  Not finished with these guys yet, but getting there.

And a quick side bar into the Dark Elves ... I have more done, just not based yet ... but here is the lord on his mighty Dragon ...

The Empire!  Likewise for these guys I have more being finished now - primarily the cavalry and characters.

Orcs and Goblins --- well, mostly Night Goblins.  I have a large host of Orcs that are in progress and will hopefully be done here in early June or so.

Stunties ... errrr ... Dwarves ... or Dwarfs if you are being technical with the GW spelling of it!  A nice little army that hits like a ton of mountain stone!

And the Skaven.  A large army of rat filth ready for slaughter!

I missed taking pictures of many more units that are done and I just don't know why I missed them ... I think I've just been heads down getting these are done/based that I've been a little disorganized around the hole thing.  By the end of the summer I should have all the armies finished and be able to do both better pictures and a post for each army to detail it a bit more.  I just wanted to get these pictures off my phone and up on my blog to store for future reference.

Anyways, on to KublaCon!

Warhammer Old World: Rules Reference, Quick Reference, and Magic Lore Reference

If you have tried playing Warhammer The Old World there is about a 100% chance that you got rules wrong, spent tons of time flipping through pages trying to find things, or just throwing caution to the wind and just making assumptions to get through the game.

I'm hosting a large Warhammer TOW game at KublaCon later this month - with experienced Warhammer players - but even with that it has become clear that a proper "QRS" is needed for Warhammer, The Old World.

Now, I say "QRS", and that is part of this, but what is below is really a rules reference and QRS in one.  I have my own custom formatted army lists now (Old World Builder is great for putting lists together, but missing a lot of information for actually playing the game).

My objective here is to stop having to use books - keep them on hand - but not have to go to them during a game at all.  Secondly, and just as important, is practically I want to be able to have my "quick 2 pager" (near the back of this reference) on the combat side, and my army list entry, and be able to resolve any shooting or close combat without flipping any pages.

See above.  All three print outs are included in this reference.  All double-sided A4 pages.  Yes, even in the US you can print on A4 - easy to get the paper from Amazon and feed through your manual feed tray.  I print the main reference as one group (stapled together), then keep the single (double-sided) quick reference page separate, and finally the two double-sided magic lore pages stapled together.

I think this is the best I can get it for speeding gameplay and making it as easy as possible to get through a game without missing or messing up rules.

You can download this reference (PDF) from here.

DISCLAIMER: This is shared with the community purely as a "work of fan art" - I have no affiliation to Games Workshop and have created this for personal use.

Below you can see the pages from this reference.  It is a beast - but it accurately summarizes everything and organizes it (as best I could within the space) logically together by phase/sub-phase.

More to come as I've finished several armies now and just need to take proper pictures.
