I am currently working on a labour of love of mine: Transcribing the Grimdark universe to the Warlords of Ehrewon rules (and using Bolt Action as reference, too).

As Rick Priestly so kindly has provided a full points breakdown for WoE, it is more or less a question of putting profiles together and calculate the points cost.

I also have had to 'translate' some rules from 40K, but I think my progress is quite promising. I love the WoE system and the Grimdark universe, and I can now finally play some rules which reflect the lore (I hope to reenact the Deathwing-story first seen in the 1st Ed. Space Hulk supplement 'Deathwing', and other heroic stories).

That’s a very cool idea, using WoE for games in a 40k setting! I abandoned WoE almost immediately for playing fantasy battles (the close combat rules were way too… decisive for ancient/ medieval style fights), but it would totally fit a grimdark style battle with a little re-skinning. I’m looking forward to hearing how it works.

Well, I quite like the decisiveness; being a house owner with more than 4000 sq.m. allotment, family and pets, I appreciate battles not bugging down in endless here-and-forth.

That being said, I have a plan for making a hybrid between WoE and God of Battles, introducing formed units and some of the better parts of GoB, and here we might see some more 'pitched battles'.

As soon as I have had time to continue my first test-run (Dark Angels Scouts vs Necrons), I shall post some more - but we have had unusual nice early spring weather this weekend, and I have been cutting down somé trees overshadowing the veggie garden.

Been awfully busy with a lot of gardening, decorating the dining room for St. Patrick's Day, taking down the decor today, and re-familiarizing myself with Blood Bowl (3rd Ed.).

But I have had time to bid on a few online (FB) auctions, and here's one of the results

Ah, 3rd ed Dark Eldar...

That reminds me I still have quite a lot of those to finish... ::)

Good luck redoing them. They're actually still pretty good models and they paint up nice with a bit of attention, even though most people seem to loathe them. I like 'em though :)

Most of the painted ones will just be rebased/used as is. My eyesight is not what it used to be, and I really cant tell bad paintjobs from good ones when the minis are at the table, anymore.

I shall, of course, assemble and paint the NOS things, and paint the unpainted models, but as long as a mini can pass inspection at at three feet distance by a guy who needs +2.0 glasses for reading, they'll just be pressed into service  :)
