Shadow Storm aka Hail Caesar Fantasy Rules and my blog

[ady2650]

Hello all,

 I hope I find you all splendid in your war gaming, I am Ady McWalter, in recent times I have done 'a bit of work' for Warlord Games in the form of the Albion Triumphant supplements for Black Powder. Now before you throw me off here back to my Napoleonicness I would like to add that I am a keen Warhammer player.
I also play a lot of Ancient games using Warlord Games' rules Hail Caesar.

With Rick Priestley's permission I have modified Hail Caesar and set it in a fantasy environment. The rules and army lists can be found on my recently switched on blog , which you will find here :-

So if you like Hail Caesar and Fantasy gaming then please take a look. I have had the kind permission of the gents at Warlord with this endeavour and as I said I have run the rules past Rick , and I am happy to say that he likes them

Please take a look and let me know what you think

I've yet to get round to trying Hail Caesar despite it sitting on my bookshelf for years now. I like a lot of what I read though so interested to have a proper read through your additions also.

Cheers.

Hey there, I've been looking for this exactly. I wiill give it a try and tell, how it went.

Thanks for sharing!

Cheers

This looks great.

Just the thing to try now my beloved Warhammer has morphed into Age of Sigmar.

In fact, shouldn't you just have called it Hail Sigmar?

Only one thing  the Ferrell Orcs, did they appear in Anchorcman?

Just downloaded the PDF. It looks great. 

Question re. Turn sequence. "blue" is referred to - I assume "1st player". Should their also be "Red" otherwise I do not understand the reference. Or perhaps I have to read all the new rules additions? 

I for one would like to see PDFs of the army lists. The blog messes with the format of the tables. Or maybe they are formated for a larger screen than my laptop has...

Hi Gents thanks for the kind words, I hope they work for you as they have done for my friends and I.

Dear Sir Barnaby Hammond-Rye , if you read the pdf in conjunction with page 24 of the Hail Caesar rule book it should make sense
let me know if not and I will sort for you

I will download these and have a read through.

We used HC for Fantasy games (with 10mm Warmaster figures) for a good couple of years.

I have been planning to try out Hail Caesar using some other fantasy mods I found, and will definitely read yours over and give them a try. Thanks you for sharing!

Played HC a few years ago when it was released and have always wanted to try a Fantasy version . I  only ever  played Warmaster once and it didn't get me excited, oddly enough  it might have been the small 10mm scale of the figures more than anything else  .
This looks good and I hope to organise a group game sometime to try it out when I can. 
thankyou for all the hard work you put into this , are there any AAR online to have a look at ?

cheers Tom

Sorry being a bit thick , what does AAR mean ?

[Steve F]

"After Action Report" - a game write-up.  Unless Testudo had a sudden fit of the Long John Silvers.

[Testudo Maximus]

yes sorry , an After Action Report ,,,,,, Ive already been out to the wargames room and laid out my Generic Medievil Human ,  Undead and Orc armies  to sort out some lists and see what I can add from the unpainted pile to my painting que to make the Divisions all a little different to each other . This looks like it will be fun if I can find some like minded mates to give it a go
cheers Tom

[ady2650]

Hi Tom , so I was being thick ,

I have not done any AAr's yet but will do one for my blog this week, it plays really well I have found and am quite pleased with them

ady

Now before you throw me off here back to my Napoleonicness

S'ok.

I would like to add that I am a keen Warhammer player.

You're WHAT!?

 

Looking good, from a quick skim. Looks like you've done more by yourself than the FHC yahoogroup managed! I'd be interested in taking a deeper look, with a few handy minis.

"After Action Report" - a game write-up.  Unless Testudo had a sudden fit of the Long John Silvers.

Often wondered myself. Too used to 'batrep'.
