Shadow War Armageddon

Earlier this week I was binge-watching the current content from my favorite creators, mostly tabletop gaming stuff.  When this video grabbed my attention, it was from Uncle Atom of Tabletop Minions.  He was talking about resurrecting Shadow War Armageddon in the gaming community.

 Resurrection Shadow War Armageddon

This really piqued my interest. Especially regarding my last post. As I mentioned earlier, I was becoming less and less interested in Games Workshop publications. I have been looking into indie games, free games, older rule sets, or fan-made or modified rule sets (INQ28, INQUISAMUNDA).  Also, check out Yaktribes.

Then, Uncle Atom mentions "Shadow War Armageddon". I purchased the boxset, assembled and painted mostly the terrain, bought more terrain, and then ..... stored it away.  I did this because the latest Necromunda, Stormcloud Attack, Kill Team 2018, and Dark Imperium came out. 

Which by the way, I have not played a single game of each...Aaargh.. 

Back to "Shadow War Armageddon", 

Uncle Atom's video got me to open up the SWA box set and remember how excited I was to play this game and the fun I had assembling and painting the terrain.  He's right, this is a good game and should be revisited. Unfortunately, I don't have the ruleset with all the factions in back. I just have the one from the box set, but.... I downloaded the pdfs from Games Workshop before they took them down.  (Smiley Emoji).

40K Kill Team 2018

I mentioned before, my hobby is pretty stagnant and I am working revitalizing my drive.  In the past it was so daunting to paint an entire 40k army, multiple vehicles, Troops and Headquarters.  I would usually burn out and stop painting. In addition I had always like the skirmish level games, primarily for the cost of entry and secondary the time it took to play a game.  I started playing 40K with the original 1987 Warhammer 40K, Rogue Trader.  So in July when Games Workshop re- re-released 40K Kill Team, I was encouraged to start again.  I think the smaller squad sizes will help me get started and transition into the larger armies.  Not mention I can assemble 14 of the 16 factions, several time over. I think I will start with my first love; the Eldar, Aeldari or the Asuryani from the Craftworld.Ulthwe’.
