Hi guys and girls,

Opening up a discussion on the use of warmaster rules for lager scale figures, if you've an opinion/idea? I'd like to hear it, please. As I'm consideration a large game using as much of my horde as possible and looking for rules which are easy to apply to big games!

Thanks in advance

Moment as you roll a die on the table, whole table would crumble hehe

Impressive looking battle. Great shot, behind cavalry and in the distance huge monsters awaits.

Not helping at all, sorry about that.
 
Well lacking experience of playing Warmaster, but cool idea. Reminds me of the huge scaled up "EPIC" (ie 6mm) games they had at Games Day/Golden Demon with all the upturned crates as large buildings, the odd Armorcast Titan and loads of large square bases with five 28mm marines glued to them. Brilliant stuff. Not that my reminiscing is of much use either ... ahem.

Whoa, never heard of these! Are there any photos of them online?
 
I briefly looked, but didn't find any. There must be some somewhere and might be the odd shot in White Dwarf I guess (but my brother has the those that would cover the period so hard to check). Alas I don't think I even owned a camera back then! Would probably have been an early 90s I think as I seem to recall it was at one of the arenas.

Anyhow drifting off from Paul's topic, heading back slightly to that I do have this bookmarked for looking at properly one day: https://www.forreignorruin.com which mentions 'large scale' battles (as in the size of the armies rather than the scale of the miniatures!)
 
IIRC Gary Chalk and the Players Guild used to use TTG Reaper for their big con games - it's certainly a lot more streamlined than Warhammer (combat is basically count troops and make a single percentage roll)
 
I dont know much about Warmaster, but I fully understand your interest!

That is why I got very exited with the Storm of Magic extension on the 8th edition.

Huge armies, huge rampaging monsters, off the chart magic spells and day long games ;)

Please keep us updated with your findings!
