I'm looking for maps of museums, for a oneshot WFRP adventure which I'll be running next weekend. The players will be hired thieves sent to loot some artifacts from a Marienburg museum, only to discover that they've been sent in as a sacrifice. A blood ritual, where the museums' owner plans to use their souls to gain power over a dormant Necrotect which he's got stored away in a Sarcophagus. And naturally all the characters - premade - have their own secret agendas and ought to be turning on each other over the adventure. But I'm running out of time and I don't have a map. There's got to be more than one WFRP adventure already set in a museum, right?

>I have absolutely nothing interesting to say... CURSE YOU PERRYFAG
>>
>>98190445
That's actually a really good idea and I think I'm going to do just that.
Also gotta plan encounter ideas. My thought was that the Necrotects' latent magic, under the curator's control, is going to "night at the museum" the exhibits such that they come to life and start hunting the party. Skeletal cold ones from Lustria, idols from Araby, Nipponese statues. That kind of thing. But they can't all be stone because then you can't really fight them without specialized tools and the dungeon crawly side doesn't work so well. Bog standard undead from preserved warrior corpses? Wicker men? taxidermied animals and freaks floating in formaldehyde?
The "solve" for the adventure would be for the party to establish contact with the Necrotect in its sarcophagus, whom is actually quite upset about being trapped and exploited and wants to go back to Nehekara. He'd assist them in taking down the curator if they have any way to establish communication and trust, which would be no small feat.
Obviously I'd like to ask if any of this is too flippantly anti-lore. I can tell it's straining on the ends of Warhammer fantasy proper but I don't think I've crossed the line yet? Thanks anons

Taxidermied animals awakening as zombie versions of the animal. You can add creepiness by vividly describing how twisted, tortured, and fucked up they look whilst moving around. Have Chaos warhounds/Cold Ones, mid-level monsters like the cockatrice and smaller Lustrian dinos, one high-level monster like Hydra/Kharibdyss, and make the final boss a Dread Saurian for maximum kino.

Not the anon that posted it, but that model is clearly a dragon ogre in the style of the artist Ian Miller, who isn't a Warhammer artist but made lots of fantasy art in the 80's that had a very distinctive style and whom John Blanche worked with (I believe he worked or trained under Miller).

Which is fitting with the specific style of warhammer art the sculptor is clearly trying to emulate. I dont like the model, I wouldnt get it, but its a very solid recreation of a certain sort of oldhammer (actual oldhammer, not 6e) chaos art.
It looks like the sort of thing you would see in black and white in realm of chaos.

Personally I prefer the karl kopinski/adrian smith style of chaos to the ian miller style, but thats a subjective thing.

Green heraldry can be done well, but I don't like it. It's personal preference. I don't use the Green Knight model either; I'm going to represent him with Henri le Massif, as my force is mostly from Lyonesse. I love Repanse and HYW-inspired Bretonnia, and the Mousillon/Lyonesse rivalry is one of the rare interesting bits of nu-lore which I actually like.

Oldhammer is the only lore that's real.
Tell me, which Lord of the Rings lore is the real lore, something written by Tolkien himself, or stuff made by the Tolkien estate in the 21st century? It's a rhetorical question, because everyone knows the answer.
Warhammer Fantasy wasn't created by the corporate entity known as Games Workslop, it was created by men who no longer exist at games workshot. Only the lore written by these men -the creators- is official, not the shit churned out by nuGWs unnamed suits. The nulore is essentially corporate funded fanfic

I would need to check but iirc green/vert/sinople was actually historically speaking pretty rare as a heraldic colour. It was widely accepted in Anglo-Norman tradition which is why a lot of people see it as traditional but it was heavily regulated in Germanic tradition and again IIRC within France itself, Burgundian heraldry bans it outright, for weird and obscure reasons. I would check but the discussion level ITT is so low I really can't be bothered

These guys were also interesting, I've been trying to think of an interesting way to adapt them into Warhammer for my own Brets, but besides the bone obvious "it's a chivalric order dedicated to the Lady" I haven't come up with anything that interesting yet. Also, if we're going Bretonnian chivalric orders, I much prefer this sort of fraternal order system, where it's just a bunch of knights taking on a very specific oath for a few years and wearing different heraldry. Let's leave the actual templar expies with big monasteries and coffers full of gold to the Empire, otherwise everything starts looking too similar.

Nah he's right, Bretonnia only gets an army list in WHFB 3rd ed. Also the "oldhammer" 5th edition Bretonnia people keep mentioning here is very much Middlehammer/Herohammer. Oldhammer is Amazons, Nuln being the most important city in the world, Naggaorthi dwarves, Pygmies et al. And back then Bretonnia was either the WFRP 1e version of Ancien Regime France or the WHFB hundred years war mini range cobbled together in the Men of the West army. People forget Oldhammer is like 1983-1990, even though most use it as shorthand for "when I personally got into the hobby as a young child in 1999"

because it's meant for children and manchildren and other beginners so you cannot design it to require any particular skill or thought otherwise the beginners have a sour experience by losing their first games and never get fully into warhammer, or at least enough to spend thousands within a year or two.

And also because tomb kings historically were a shitty army overshadowed by vampires, so gw is afraid that if they don't make it strong enough it will go back to being just as unpopular as before.

4e-5e is interchangeably called "oldhammer" and middlehammer because NO ONE is still playing with picrel era models unless he's an originalfag dorf/O&G/Empire eldergrog. There is no true "oldhammer" for half the army roster anyway. What would you call the original Dark Elf metals? It's completely fair to call models of that era "oldhammer," especially when presenting them to uninitiated normalfags who don't know anything beyond nu-40gay and AoS, if even that.

All the more reason to call things what they actually are when speaking to the uninitiated. What, do you want to teach them wrong on purpose? There are already so few people who actually take the time to learn anything about pre-6th WHFB, both as a game and a model range. Giving up and abandoning the appropriate terminology is only going to make this worse. Call things what they are! 1st-3rd has been established as oldhammer for many years. If it came out after 3rd but before (or during, people still debate this) 6th, it's middlehammer. Don't fuck with definitions, anon! And no, you shouldn't call 4e and 5e dark elf metals oldhammer. They're middlehammer. Who cares if something wasn't around before 4th? That doesn't magically make those models exist beyond the oldhammer-middlehammer-newhammer paradigm.
Changing the meanings of words is how you make newfags even newer and faggier. So don't!
>>
>>98194279
1-5 is Oldhammer
6-7 is middlehammer
8-ToW is nuhammer
>>
>>98194318
While I can respect this proposed model, I still reject it on the basis that 1st through 3rd was a special and unique period and ought to be its own category. The shift towards mass market appeal that began with 4th must mark the transition to another period.
I would propose a model of 4 hammers. 1st-3rd as oldhammer, 4th-5th as middlehammer, 6th-8th as newhammer (with 6 marking the shift from the brighter aesthetic and tone of middlehammer towards the grimmer, 40kified aesthetic and tone of later editions) and TOW as posthammer.

I don’t play TOW and didn’t play whfb, but I’m curious about how chaos factions worked.

There wasn’t a dedicated army per god right? You just played warriors of chaos and picked a certain god-aligned rule and painted your guys red or green or purple or blue right?

Aside from end times stuff such putrid blightkings, did they have god-specific sculpts?

In tww3, there are slaaneshi chaos warriors with whips and special armor. But I’m guessing none of this existed in whfb?

Looking through old lexicanum images here and there I see really really old metal sculpts or specific characters but nothing uniform or produced at a large scale in plastic.

Just curious about the game. I’m sad I only started hobbying years after the game died.
Also, does anyone here have painted chaos marauders? I got a good deal on them so I’m using them as proxies for Khorne blood reavers and Nurgle pestigors.

Here’s a nurglite standard bearer I did. Does anyone have Hound or Crow dedicated marauders painted in Nurgle or khorne schemes?

It’s hard making them all look ragged and mismatched while keeping the same theme. I’d like to see your marauders if you got any.

>>98194523
You could break up the greenness by painting some of the circular bumps on the dragon's skin as pustule and by painting thin yellow lines to serve as highlights. Also, and I know this is kind of the point, but his claws are a little too messy and dark. They're still supposed to be razor-sharp claws, right? They need to look the part!
Other than that, I think it's a pretty cool dragon. I especially like the bloody saliva dripping down from his maw.

Why do you need to treat these periods as value judgments and why do you insist on changing the terminology for no reason? No, your model is not acceptable.

Stop trying to change the definitions.

This is legitimately a skill issue anon. It's true that a lot of 3d studios do a lot of useless fine over-detailing to stand out, but Highland is one of those few that actually rigorously keep "is this realistically paintable?" as a guiding principle. The result looks a lot like 7th/8th ed style minis and actually works fairly well with GW's range I feel.

Don't rely on lexicanum. Look up a website called Stuff of Legends, it has most of the old Citadel catalogues on file.
Yes, you were expected to give your units the appropriate mark of Chaos to dedicate them to a single god. Yes, there used to be metal models that were plainly and clearly sculpted to be devoted to one god. There were also many more models that were either ambiguous or purposefully sculpted in such a way that, with the right paint job, they could be dedicated to either any god or none in particular. While there were, in later editions, plastic kits made expressly to be devoted to one god, there were not explicitly marked plastic chaos warriors, marauders, or knights. Such are the constraints of producing physical plastic models in real life: Making a plastic kit that only a portion of a fraction of your customer base will buy simply isn't good business, especially since producing plastic models has a very high up-front cost. If you want chaos warriors with whips and special armour, consider converting.

It literally is, you infected cockhole; 1st-3rd WHFB, Rogue Trader, plus contemporary sidegames.

Thereafter is Middlehammer which runs until the end of 6th WHFB and 4th 40K including associated sidegames. Newhammer runs from then until the big resets with End Times and Gathering Storm, but arguably not including sidegames and suppementary product since the few that remained retained much more of the previous era about them. Finally is the current era of slopshite, Nuhammer.

Sometimes some people quibble over exact details, but that's the broad thrust of it. Only retards think "Oldhammer" just means "warhammer that's now older".
>>
>>98195991
I would like to have a discussion regarding the inclusion of 6th edition in the middlehammer period. I understand and respect that this has been the traditional stance regarding 6th for many years, but I think it would be more appropriate to include 6th in the newhammer period alongside 7th (as they are very similar editions in terms of rules) and 8th (as 6th, 7th, and 8th are tonally and aesthetically similar.
However, I would like to hear, or rather read, your (and anyone else's) reasons for including 6th in the middlehammer period.
I also think that these historical periods should not be given pejorative names. Let these categories be objective and timeless forevermore. Also, the question of TOW ought to be addressed. Should it be included in the 1st-8th paradigm, as if it were a 9th edition, or should it be treated as a separate game? Discuss.
>>
>>98195913
>>98195908
Yeah I also noticed that when listing through 3rd, does anyone actually know any background on why these were a thing? It seems like such a random addition to the roster, was it just a way to create an army centrepiece model before hero & special character rules became a serious thing? I thought for some time that it was based on those medieval italian blessed carriages they pushed into battle and that the Perrys made a model version of that for Citadel that got repurposed, but I can't find any trace of that being the case.
>>
>>98196005
some people insist that 6th is "middlehammer" because they're insecure about which version of an out of print game they play.

I'm not sure why but there's a rather loud an unsufferable minority online that elevates 6th edition beyond what it was (namely, a fantastic version of the game that for many people represented a great time in the their life).
In their view, 6th edition, has to be set apart from all the other versions.
7th? Fuck that that's the beginning of the end
4th? 5th? Kids stuff
8th? That's what killed the game.

6th is the only "true" edition.

ignoring that, like you point out, 6yh, 7th, and 8th are VERY similar in tone and style. And the rule differences are certainly there but aren't THAT big.

Nah, giving community sourced rules to armies GW doesn't sell and discourages you from playing is based as fuck.
That being said I like the lizardmen drafts, though the only thing that might need to change is tenple guard going up a maybe one or two more points because shifting them back to full plate armor is a big deal.
Some boomers complained they look like pretty strong rules in my disc, but they're pretty much a melee only faction & cannons will still run them over like they run over everything so who cares? The mage priest buffs are strong also sure, but that's paying close to 500 points for a non-dragon character that has 0 killing potential outside of spells.

Any tips on green stuff sculpting? I saw a really cool stegadon conversion online. Do I hear you’re supposed to combine it with milliput?

This is my favourite of all Miller's pieces. I wonder just who or what this big knightly fella is. He's clearly towering over those space marines at the bottom of the frame, is he some sort of daemon prince? Either way, it's a cracking image.

He looks like he was designed by the same person that did the imperial nobles bloodbowl team

wait are you dead ass telling me the empire/cathay/brets/kislev never had rules that let them ally with chaos? Is this not the same company that made something as insane as lost and the damned at some point? Why arent they leaving so much free money there? You dont even need new kits for that, simply an incentive to kitbash with an arcane journal is all you would need to get people to buy OLD kits.

You don't understand, if they encourage kitbashing and other creative hobbying, that might lead people to buying third party instead of the 1:1 model for the rule as god intended.

I dont know if they were in the lore back then. But it makes me think "thunder warrior" with the storm/lightning imagery he has going on.
Maybe its a primarch, but those werent really a thing back then either.

>>98196542
Cathay, a faction invented yesterday, did not have rules for allying with chaos "ever". No.

>lost and the damned
Have never had a historical equivalent in warhammer. 40k is (or was, aesthetically its becoming less so) very "imperium centric", chaos was "chaos imperials".

In Fantasy you dont have that, chaos is its own thing that has no aesthetic links to the empire or bretonnia or kislev or cathay (the latter two being non-faction entitites). There are no hordes of fallen empire soldiers, its not a common narrative element and therefore has never been a thing given rules.

Partly because plastic kits make it harder to do individualised troops, but it can definitely be done. The biggest reason in my opinion is GWs own design team and their vision of chaos. The OG team visualised chaos units as individuals, mutated, grotesque and loud. The rules, fluff and art reflected that. Then GWs design team got changed and the faction changed into faceless, uniform legions of black plated warriors, likely to try and make it more grimderp and closer to chaos space marines. Nowadays we're seeing yet another shift with Chaos heading towards a distinctly more Norse aesthetic.

Chaos in fantasy is not just "faction X but with spikes" like it is in 40k.

Well, all of those are deeply devout (in their own way) factions, so it makes sense that they get a unit that doubles as object of worship. Remember that these earlier editions were all about scenario play, so these sort of units could also provide for interesting narrative hooks:
>The followers of the dark gods have prepared a ritual to summon a greater Daemon and lay waste to the nearby hamlet. With their ritual circle ready, only their profane altar is needed to complete the invocation. Unless the war altar is destroyed before reaching the circle, the hamlet will be destroyed.
>A Bretonnian lord performs his yearly pilgrimage to the Larme d'Or monastery, accompanied by the reliquary of Sir Choublanc. As they advance through the quiet countryside, a group of brigands ambushes the pilgrims. The relic must be defended at all costs, lest the honour of the lord be tainted.

I've always interpreted it as the Lady changing her appearance to be as angelically beautiful to the individual Grail Knight as possible, it's the Grail that stays the same in appearance so the Grail Knights know who's supped from the real Grail and who's been deceived by Chaos or illusion magic. In the case of the False Grail, for example, every Grail Knight present immediately knew Maldred was deceiving everyone, probably because the False Grail looked nothing like the real one.

>peasant horseman
This simply makes no sense. There has been no point in history except maybe the American West when the poor peasant class was to afford to keep, train, and ride horses, ESPECIALLY in China. Horses have always been used by the upper patrician and warrior classes, and peasants didn't even know how to ride them.
Peasant horseman simply makes no sense. Peasants obviously being levied troops, otherwise they wouldn't be peasants they'd be professionals. Since the peasants wouldn't have their own horses, the army would have to supply them, and why would they supply expensive horses that require extensive training to use to the peasants? Fantasy China has to adhere to logical conventions as well or else the whole setting is shit

Should the Xbox 360 be considered in the Xbox generations despite it being called the 360 instead of Xbox 2? Obviously, you dipshit. TOW is the 9th edition despite the fact GW wanted to give it a stupid name for marketing reasons.

Work horses were pretty common in Europe in the middle ages. Horses in general weren't reserved for nobility at all. Not even fighting on horses was reserved to nobility (even though there is a string correlation between the two).

Nah he's pretty much right, outside of "warrior peoples" like Turcopoles, Bulgars, Cumans, Kipchaks, etc. commoner cavalry was pretty rare in medieval Europe, though it wasn't non-existent. Most famously in Iberia during the Reconquista, Christian forces often fielded large forces of "jinete" light horse, as a counter and mirror to the Muslim Berber genitours. They fought pretty much identically, lightly armoured with javelins and other throwing weapons. So it wasn't unheard of.

Nope, it's fantasy china. Which must be grounded in logical conventions or else it loses the ground it's build on. Again, if you don't care about this or understand it you should probably go back to AoS with all the other Millennial slop enjoyers

Yes but the jinete were not peasants, a large number of them came from the military orders and other came from the yeomanry.

I sometimes daydream about what a "French GW" that grew out of Moebius, Druillet and Enki Bilal artstyle would have looked like in contrast to the Ian Miller and John Blanche one we got. All of these artists were from or influenced by Métal Hurlant/Heavy Metal after all, they've got a lot of shared DNA.

Simple, I was there and I played them all. I started with 4th, played extensively in 5th and 6th, played Mordheim a lot, and there was a concerted shift with 7th that carried through into 8th. Fuckwits like >>98196192 - no doubt either a seething Herohammertard or a rancid 8thie - will insist otherwise, but it's simply factual truth that 6th is Middlehammer because the eras are defined by the *company* and how they are reflected in the product.

Oldhammer is characterised by the settings being in flux, continually added to and expanded and tweaked via WD articles and supplements. It's the period in which the original creators of the game are pretty much the only ones working on it. It happens to have a relatively consistent aesthetic that was again a result of the comparatively small number of people doing the sculpting work and art at the time.

Middlehammer is the period in which GW "professionalises" as a result of among other things the management buyout. The studio expands and the people who originated the IPs are now managing whole departments with a second generation of Warhammer creatives under them. The settings are codified and "tidied up" based on their most recent Oldhammer. While the period doesn't have the same level of frenetic creativity as Oldhammer, overall it's characterised by a decent balance between GW as a profit seeking company and GW as shepard of The Hobby. Changes to the IPs whether aesthetics, fluff, or gameplay are no more or less stark than they were during Oldhammer, but it's rare you'll find anyone retarded enough to suggest that early RT vs late or WHFB2 vs 3 should be in completely different categories.

(cont)...


The reason for the split to Newhammer at 7th/5th isn't some arbitrary "I don't like it so it's not in the Coolhammer pile" judgement, it reflects the shift in GW itself at the time. This is the period of Kirby's descent into lunacy, the ever-increasing drive for MORE sales, MORE profit, MORE MORE MORE which manifests in the steady Flanderizing and normification of the games, the increasing focus on making you buy bigger armies and profitably expensive special character models, the company's increasing paranoia about IP and clamping down on community creativity, the windup and death of Specialist Games/Fanatic, and the increasing use of shitty Deviantart-tier artwork because it was cheap. It's not that the changes between 6th and 7th were radical and drastic, it's that the changes that were made are indicative of a different attitude and context in the company and community. Newhammer is the era where all the Old Guard, the guys who actually *made* Warhammer have either left GW or been promoted into irrelevance, and even most of their proteges who helped them construct and expand the Middlehammer era are driven out or walk away. The Studio is in the hands of the first generation of creatives who's primary reference isn't history, mythology, and various older sci-fi & fantasy IPs but rather previous versions of Warhammer itself, and they begin making decisions based on "fixing" things they see as flawed. The toxic brew of that plus Kirby's mounting idiocy in response to his miscalculation in the LotR bubble are what define the era.

Nuhammer is functionally a different IP really. Deliberate massive breaks in the fiction and the games design, combined with big shakeups in the corporate top levels and reorganisation & siloing of the design studio taken together leave us in a situation that's more like Disney buying out Lucasfilm and controlling Star Wars than it is the evolution of the previous eras into the next.

There really needs to be a separate category for GW post 8th ed. 40k/AoS launch. That is really went things became unrecognizable to long time players and fans, and where the majority of the old guard players and fans left the hobby, and were replaced by newfags, who were further boosted during COVID hoax era

Oldhammer is when entire ranges were metal, middlehammer is when characters and certain units were metal, but core was plastic, and nuhammer is when every unit is plastic. Trying to demarcate this by specific artists is arbitrary and retarded.
