First for once
Ordered myself some goblins, shocking I know. She has more plans for her campaign before it finishes next Friday.
Excellent – can’t wait to see more!
Gobbos!
So, I had an idea for a Baron’s War army using some fantasy figures as a bit of fun. Then I visited their site to build a list and saw Warhost. Of course it’s a thing. There goes my “cunning idea” for next year’s spring clean hobby challenge.
Top tip about Venice canals there; thanks. Diving in to Carnivale itself though is another matter. 🙃
Just as I finish painting the last of the Champions boxes @avernos hints at another one! Intriguing …
I’m definitely in the Cross is there for a reason camp when it comes to medics, it makes them easier to hit.
Those Dwarves tick all the boxes for me they have knees they have appropriate armour and clothing, couple that with the upcoming kickstarter campaign from Empress for Kampfgruppe Arnhem, Paul Hicks is going to make a serious hole in my bank balance. I’m so looking forward to this winter. Oh and as no one has mentioned it the Rashaar are the faction in the canals and by far my favourite faction in the game followed closely by the Pulchinella who I play when I want to do easy mode and have fun
Yeah, there are some super cool minis in Carnevale!
The new Infinity models look great as always.
Yup, Corvus Belli keeping up the excellence
I don’t need 3 of those Patricians, but I want 4 of them….
This is the way…
Kings of War 3E kind of killed my interest in the game. Became too tournament oriented. Curious about 4th. Really like the new army.
Yeah it seems like they have taken all of the notes from the community to refine the game
With a Carnevale plastic Starter set coming out I’m hoping more people start playing it. I have a Rashaar gang sat waiting for more local players.
Yeah, I really hope more folks dive into the game
Happy weekend.
Happy weekender folks
My oldhammer greenskin interests are currently strictly scifi but dem gobbos is grate.
Those goblins are amazing!
If Hobday and Hicks are a detective agency, then I’ve always thought that Bibi, Net, and Yahu (Bibi Netanyahu) are a law firm.
