I kind of wished I had a favourite … so many I like and so many things that look cool.

First wargame books I ever had were Warhammer Fantasy Battles (3rd edition?) and Rogue Trader:40k (1st edition)

And even back then I couldn’t decide what army/faction I wanted.
Like Starwars the universe these games were set in was filled with opportunities. I liked how magic was dangerous in Warhammer. The two Realm of Chaos books were the best thing ever, but at that time I lacked opportunity (only one shop that sold hobby products and it required quote a bit of travel) ,money (and internet) so it only ever were ideas.

(mini rant : it’s why I dislike what GW has done to both settings. First they ‘ruined’ WFB by making magic ‘normal’ and then they ruined 40k by removing all the fun out of the orks and turning them into a generic green alien mob army. Such a shame that the rules don’t even come close to reproducing the background lore in game format.)

Imagine what a book about Skaven could have been like if GW had made an effort to produce a big fat book of lore like ‘ere we go and ‘realm of chaos’ for all factions. Eldar got glimpses of this when the aspect warriors were announced in white dwarf.

Anyways … my 1:1 scale terrain hobby continues. Not as fast as I’d like, but it’s going forward.
I hope I’ve documented enough that I can update the project system once it is somewhat presentable.
