The Quest for Chaos (Oldhammer)

Another glimpse into the nascent Realm of Chaos. Filling in the last of the first edition scenario sheets - there would have been another, but it disappeared into the warp.

For reference, the sheet came with the second version of this box set:

Now for a nice Sunday of painting...

Lair of the Lizard King (more Oldhammer)

Following up on the Great Arena of Tuth box set fluff, this is the sheet that came with Tom Meier's Lizard Warriors. This was already scanned, so not much effort required to post this.

I think I spotted Dorian in someones blog... 

I'm sure this is him here: http://greblord-littlemen.blogspot.co.uk/2012/07/citadel-25mm-c01-fighter-with-sword-and.html

I put out a request on the CCM Yahoo group, requesting info for fills on similar sheets. Absolutely no response. Deeply disappointing that.

The Great Arena of Tuth - an Oldhammer post

I've recently been looking at some Oldhammer blogs, and I found myself thinking about this Warhammer 1st edition scenario that came with Tom Meier's Trogolodyte box set (a gorgeous set of figures).

I'd thought to present this scenario sheet as a bit of Very Oldhammer that is seldom seen. The Arena is one of several included with some of Citadels pre-slotta box sets. There was a two-parter scenario for Knights of Law and Chaos, another for Tom's Lizardmen, and others I'm sure. They were nice little extras and I bet not many have survived the years. I had always assumed this was written by Rick Priestley, but the credit shows it was done by Bryan Ansell himself. Devotees of Realm of Chaos should find this of great interest, as it contains quite a bit of exposition and portrays Chaos in a nascent form.

Way, waaay back I started making an arena from cardboard. Never got finished, not even in a plain form. The idea has stuck though. I'd still like to see a whole set, or adaptation thereof, suitable for events like Salute. Wouldn't mind making it myself. Small teams of gladiators fighting rooftop death-matches ought to appeal to traditional wargamers, analogous to a 20:20 cricket match. Are there such things going on already? Bloodbowl, Inquisitor, Necromunda... similar, but not quite like this.

Back to painting...
