I've been amassing classic Ral Partha figures since before they were classic... originally just to paint and later to use in RPGs. Only recently have I started collecting them in force to use in wargames... so I bought a copy of the old Chaos Wars box set and have been happily looking over those rules... they look simple but fun.
Then, today, searching for more info and to see if anyone was actively playing the game I stumbled across a Kickstarter Iron Wind Metals had a couple months back to recast a bunch of the classic figures and expand on Chaos Wars.
Somehow I'd missed that completely... news channels overwhelmed by the great GW 'end times' kerfluffle I guess.
Anyway, did anyone hereabouts participate in that? I know they've got forces coming out this month and more planned for August (lizardmen!) but I'm curious what's planned for the expanded rules.
Any thoughts on Chaos Wars and how it plays?
I've got a fair sized army of 'dark'... orcs, giant, goblins, dark prince chariot, black dragon... but I need to spruce up some good guys for them to fight against, probably elves.
