The Guide to the City series of articles describes the background for the Gierburg game setting. In this first installment we take a loof at the lowest of the low: the average citizen of the Free City. Born in Gierburg. Die in Gierburg. Born in the gutter, die in the gutter. Everythin’ else issa step-up. Gutter-scum, peasant, citizen, down-trodden, poor, starving, bedraggled, stinking, continue as you will along the same vein, the average life of a Gierburg peasant is two-score and ten years of misery. You get born to parents who can barely feed you, survive till you get old enough to earn money to eat, settle down with someone to start a family and continue the cycle, dying at some point from malnutrition, sickness, an accident, murder or age. A peasant is a peasant is a peasant is a peasant and nothing tends to change that

Somewhat surprised to see that this is my 701st post on this blog – I must really procrastinate a lot!!
Part 1 also updated with pictures Game 4 vs. Orcs n Goblins (Nicholas Jebson) Blood & Glory First Turn – Yes Result 8-12 This was the most enjoyable game of the tournament against a very likeable guy and a battle in which we threw a huge amount of dice and were going at it hammer and tongs for 6 turns with the game in the balance the entire time.
The Deployment Zone’s – Tamurkhan, Throne of Chaos Campaign Phase 6: The Throne of Chaos The Chaos Horde tore through the Border Lands and after the near defeat at the hands of the Night Goblin Horde, spilled into the ripe fields of the Empire.
Well rather than play a 1v1 1500pt Mid War battle last night I ended up in a 4 player free all with everyone bringing 2000pts.
This tile is from the Mighty Empires expansion tiles set and is one of two tiles to feature a fork in the river. I wanted to achieve two things with this tile: (a) creating a more realistic feeling for the river’s flow than I had achieved with other river tiles ; (b) giving a go at attempting some vernal flowers in bloom, in contrast to varied greens that I usually mess around with. For the river, it a basecoat of electric blue was applied followed by a blue wash.
1st Ed was a long time ago. And my opponent has been playing since then! I was up for quite a battle as he challenged me to a game. My first game back from my trip to Greece, it was time to get the ball rolling once more. Enjoy. Teclis stood at the edge of the flowing river. He stared up at the high cliffs on either side of the pass. This would be the perfect place to ambush the undead King. He turned to face Lyrion, his most trusted commander and carrier of the battle standard, who approached him.
