Gallipoli 1915

With Warhammer Historical available, GamesDay 2008 wasn’t just Fantasy and 40K, in Hall 1 there were a fair few historical wargames on show using the various Warhammer Historical rules. This is nothing new, last year we saw was Aly Morrison and Dave Andrews’ excellent World War One demonstration game.

Demonstrating The Great War rules were two games one set in Gallipoli and one in 1914.

Very nice terrain and some great models.

You can see many more pictures of the historical wargaming on my website.

Old West Outlaws

I was lucky enough to get for Christmas two packs of Foundry Old West Outlaws (thank you Simon).

Old West Outlaws

There twelve miniatures in total, which should be more than enough for some Old West games.

Old West RulesI shall be using the Legends of the Old West Warhammer Historical rules which I purchased when I was at GamesDay 2008.

A tabletop miniatures game which allows you to bring to life the deeds of the brave lawmen and gunfighters of the most famous period in America’s history. This lavish, full-colour manual contains all the rules you need to gather your posse and play games set on the harsh American frontier. Within you will find eight action-packed scenarios, and a campaign system that allows you to develop your fighters into hard-bitten heroes and villains of the Old West.

Fight alongside some of the deadliest figures of Western legend – such as Billy the Kid, Doc Holliday and Wyatt Earp. Rob a stagecoach with the James gang, or try to out-draw Wild Bill Hickock. Grab your sixgun, saddle your mustang and prepare to take part in the wildest adventure of them all!

First stage will be to base them and then give them an undercoat.

Trafalgar

Warhammer Historical announce their new naval game, Trafalgar, which will be available in early 2009.

Trafalgar

On 21st October 1805, the Royal Navy met the combined French and Spanish fleets at the Battle of Trafalgar. Led by Admiral Lord Nelson aboard HMS Victory, the British scored a decisive victory without losing a single ship.
Now, 203 years to the very day, Warhammer Historical are very excited to announce the forthcoming release of a brand new game – Trafalgar. Written by Legends of the Old West supremo Mark Latham, Trafalgar is an action-packed game where players build their fleets and take to the seas in a hail of cannon fire.

If you are into the Age of Sail then this might be worth looking at. In the meantime until it comes out, why not check out our Age of Sail gallery.

Scenery was not as nice as Dave’s but was still very well constructured and impressive.
