In the Emperor's Name, a free set of Sci-Fi rules set in the not-40k universe, turned out to be great time when we tried it out several weeks ago. Though nostalgic for early GW days, that universe has never been my bag. Fantasy, particularly a large scale skirmish, which is the best for my group of 6-8 weekly, is what I wanted to try. Now, I loves me my Song of Blades and Heroes, but it's really a two player game. I figured it would be simple enough to tailor ITEN to fantasy. The ensuing brawl proved me right.

the Wastes
"The temple of Baal-El has lain buried in the Wastelands for untold centuries. But recently, during an earthquake, the temple emerged from the depths. Now, forces converge. Some to destroy the temple, some to worship it's dark god..."

The King's Men
The forces weren't balanced point-wise. But tactics should have panned out. They didn't. It was mostly a one sided affair in favor of Chaos. The Boy, controlling the Adventurers, got hammered by the Barbarians second turn. He never even got off a spell. (Spells are basically Psyker Abilities from ITEN). The forces of Good should have hauled ass to the temple, and then defended it's narrow passage. Chaos warriors are slow, the Barbarians have no long range, and the orcs were farthest away and blocked by terrain. Oh well. It was still fun.

Tons of Old School Citadel. I wish I could track down all the old Chaos Dwarves I had. They're so much fun to paint. I have most of the old Chaos Marauders waiting in the wings.

Great looking game and miniatures.

Old school apocalypse!!! Looks like a blast, Herr Baron.
-
Yes the archer from the Adventuring group is especially old. He's a Corsair from the first time Citadel did Lord of the Rings.
-
Bloody nice stuff there Baron! Love it all, wish you took a little better pics though. ;)
-
Sounds like a fun game and haul out some OS figures, nicely done.
-
I love the King's Men. Thanks for sharing!
-
Very nice! The Kings Men are indeed particularly striking even though they are some of the most recent models. It's a shame the game didn't really go as planned but as long as you had fun it doesn't really matter :)

There is this slow, but sure, move towards simpler rule sets, maybe we're all just getting too old to read long-winded rules........

It's a Games Workshop hobgoblin champion by Alan Perry from the early 90s, originally intended for use in Chaos Dwarf armies. You can view the catalog page here:
