No... most of the time you throw them onto your enemy! Therefore "tin" owns "plastic" miniatures. :mrgreen:

@Lim: Really nice one...

I can't stand undead. Think I'll take Gruzzak to undead things land to stomp em good when I go play at the warhammer store.

I don't like the undead races..

Greenskin and Skaven
Hummies, Ogre things, stunties
Kaos thingies, lizzies
Poncy elves
Undead fings

In order of who I like best to least.

Oooh - nice conversions! Is Heinrich Kemmler still a playable character (on a non-tournament level, of course)?

I have no friggin' clue since the last edition I followed actively was the one where Magic and "Realm of Chaos" still came in separate boxed sets (wasn't that the 3rd edition?).

He, he - actually I wasn't that much of an Undead player although it was my second army. I preferred Chaos. Blood for the Blood God! Sissy magic users! :-P

Yeah, games like these are called "tabletop" games since they haven't got boards. You measure distances with rulers and stuff.

I'm more into normal board games these days.

I don't know why but Warhammer, at least in Poland, is now being dominated by small, spoiled children with filthy rich parents... Even though a friend of mine is still playing it and is probably one of the best tournament players in Europe (perhaps BECAUSE of the kiddie invasion ;-), if not the world (no kidding!).

Kemmler was playable for a long time, but he hasn't got any rules for the last 2(?) editions.

I always call it a mix of chess and "Mensch ärger dich nicht" (engl. ludo?!). As Lim wrote you call it "tabletop" (or "miniature wargaming" as it's coming from the historical branch) as you play on "tables" which are normally special (self-made) gaming plates. Each player has an army created with special rules. Each player has a fixed "value" like 1000 or 2000 points which is the "game size" and can spend theese points on different troops and characters. Each unit has values and special rules. You then move your units and roll a lot of dices to determine the results of a battle between these armies.

You can find a good explanation on Wikipedia (english / german).

Afaik Poland has a quite mature tabletop scene, too. The first european tabletop championchip (ETC) was held 2007 in Poland and the 2nd one this year, too. The part with the kids is sadly true as Warhammer isn't a very cheap hobby, but Warhammer is the widest spread tabletop... so with Warhammer the chance is always good to find a player near you. With more "special" tabletops this is becoming a serious problem.

btw: Tabletops have a quite active tournament scene evolving over the last years: http://www.tabletoptournaments.net lists almost all tournaments of Germany, Austria, the Switzerlands, France and Belgium... and don't look into the imprint/contacts as you will not find me there! ;)

Edit: A picture of one of the biggest german tournaments with over 200 participants (taking place in the Eishalle (ice skating sink? ice hockey stadium?) Münster:

Cool - if you're a tournament player (I know Crovax is not) then you'll probably come to Poland some day - I know that we held some kind of major international tournament in 2006 - I sometimes go with my friends even if I don't play to root for them. ^^

Doh

Anyhow, just wanted to say I'm having a blast playing WAR online, lots of hummie and stunty bashing going on. I am, of course, playing a greenskin!

me neither.... I have a restraint order....
I once tried to have unwilling sex with an alien, sadly enough the police informed me (after violating me repeatingly with a pandabear) that I had broken into the palace and had raped the prince and his favorite dog, both with a 20 yard pole.

:cry:
