Hobby: Order of Purest Sun


We've been dabbling for a little while now with Dragons Rampant, which is an excellent ruleset from Osprey Publishing.  Its a generic fantasy toolkit, and I often see the Warhammer Fantasy armies of yore fielded once again under its rules. Its very balanced and still quite flexible with a selection of fantastical abilities and attributes to add onto a list of core unit profiles to tailor units to meet your ideas. 

Being as I loved the old world of Warhammer Fantasy, and that I felt that many of the Fantasy miniatures I had are more modern and would fit better into my ideas for Age of Sigmar. I picked up some more old school hand sculpted human fantasy figures from some third party sites. The primary one being EOE ORBIS  aka. Blacktree Miniatures.  

My intention is for these brave men at arms to stand sentinel against my Warriors of Chaos army, that I inherited from Chris some time ago now, and which is comprised nearly entirely of early plastic warriors from 5th Edition WFB.

The Doom of Taggertburg

Some time ago now I created a booklet to help encourage some other local gamers to get into the Age of Sigmar system. It is primarily intended to be a single-player experience, teaching you the system by having you move through a branching campaign as the eponymous "hero" Slambo, while slowly building up a Chaos Warband. It's themed and designed to closely resemble the look and feel of the classic 80's books, that founded Warhammer Fantasy. Hopefully, I created a document that will encourage you to dig up some old sword and sorcery figures to do battle once more.

Profiles for all the non-optional units both antagonist and friendly are provided in the back of the document. While the rules for Age of Sigmar are not included, I have provided a link below along with the link to the Campaign book.
I'd love to know what you think of the Doom of Taggertburg; if you'd like to see changes or if you'd like me to create one for different forces or even for Warhammer 40,000 definitely let me know what you think in the comments below!





Thanks for reading!
