Blood on the Streets

 

Hello,

I have decided to stop dreaming and do something about this glorious pack of cardboard buildings.

The accompanying booklet has a few wonderful “Hooks” for scenarios, my ideas include.

·        A delivery of  Bugmans Ale with Bugmans Ranger escort, which is from the Booklet

·       The army of the Riding (From the booklet)

·       Chaos Beastmen, not the boring goat headed clones but the original Mutant types.

·       Chaos Dwarfs, obviously not the big hatted later variety but the original beautiful spiky ones

·       Goblins!

·       Hobgoblins! (orange ones)

I have been running games of Warhammer Fantasy roll play on and off for years so I rekon I can do a half decent job of writing up a Warhammer Battle scenario.


Right now I am painting up one of the units from the Army of the Riding. I will be posting them soon and some of my thoughts on the character models.

I dont know what I am doing but....

 

 This is my blog, 

It is going to be a place where I share my many Oldhammer projects. The focus will be Blood on the Streets which is an old GW village pack from 1985. I have a few other obscure old things I am interested in, and I can put them all here, in the hope it will de-clutter my old brain.

I have been in the hobby since the mid-eighties and I did buy a copy of Blood on the Streets when it was new, I was young and useless at model making, so sadly I ruined that set. Luckily, I found another copy years later (but before Oldhammer was really a thing and prices went sky high). I did a much better job at building those and I still have a few of the card buildings to build.

I have collected all the scenario miniatures, which was not easy! And I am steadily working through them. I am also building the Army, most of which can still be purchased from Foundry Miniatures (not the blink dogs though sadly)
