Would I do a massive game again next year? Maybe not, not because it wasn't fun but because I felt a little anchored in by it, severals maller games would allow for more variation, both in opponents and also in games being played, would love to get some Rogue Trader in and maybe some other editions of Warhammer.Snickithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12043252668515117665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8905698989087969872.post-5785178483292997422014-08-11T00:22:36.932-07:002014-08-11T00:22:36.932-07:00Yes, I'm going to look at painting up a 4th ed...Yes, I'm going to look at painting up a 4th edition Greater Daemon of the Horned Rat I have knocking around somewhere. Going to have to fight fire with fire I guess. One Treeman isn't so bad but we played two games, one a build up game and another the actual event and in both the Treemen made a mess of anything they came into contact with and there was just so many. Two or three players and two or three (or more) each, it was just insane.<br /><br />I may look to see if I can knock up some rules for Skaven cannon (not the Warp Lightning thing, I'm not fan).
