Mogsymakes meets Mr Warhammer: a Midgard Heroic Battles game with Rick Priestley
While I’ve been mucking around with miniatures since I was very small, I fondly remember my first proper set of wargames rules: I was a bit young, only 11, but this game looked pretty good (we’d seen the adverts in White Dwarf), and I think I received it for Christmas. There wasn’t a wargames clubContinue reading “Mogsymakes meets Mr Warhammer: a Midgard Heroic Battles game with Rick Priestley”

Somehow the second Partizan show of the year has snuck up on us, so it’s time to show what I’ve been quietly working away on over the last six weeks. This is the biggest game that I think Morris & Chums have ever put on, with around 1500 28mm miniatures on a 12′ x 8′Continue reading “The Other Partizan 2024 preview: Tolkien’s Battle of Five Armies”
How do the Fantastical Elements work in Midgard Heroic Battles?
This was an excellent question that I was asked last week on the Lead Adventure Forum (a very civilised corner of the internet, if you still do forums), so I thought I’d tackle it in this week’s Midgard article. While it’s not difficult to adapt historical rules sets for fantasy, and vice versa, I alwaysContinue reading “How do the Fantastical Elements work in Midgard Heroic Battles?”
