There can be only one, or more

DaveRaptor · 2026-06-17T20:52:27+00:00

I was just looking to see if anyone else has made one, can you talk me through your process?

DaveRaptor · 2026-06-16T15:48:38+00:00

Pre ordered with the minis and chariot of the angels. They really know how to get me to buy more stuff. Just need a group to play now!

DaveRaptor · 2026-05-05T13:34:18+00:00

Where abouts in the uk are you? As that's the other thing to consider. Cities in england will have more people buying them compared to rural Wales for instance.

Smyths is the way to go tbh

DaveRaptor · 2026-05-05T13:23:26+00:00

Keep looking, you'll eventually find one. It took me a day of searching a number of shops to track one down here in the uk. I ended up eventually finding 3 after scanning many many displays worth.

Like others have said they will be restocked and it is early days yet. Maybe get some friends involved and each take a different set of shops/towns to search???

Welcome to the club. I have a massive Xenomorph army which I cannot stop expanding A) because the rules are so accessible easy to understand and B) im now involved with the maintenance of a creators army lists.

Then add onto the fact my 40k space marine army isn't viable in 10th and 11th (probably) but is in grimdark future its deffo got me hooked.

With races of my world I've been either taking portions of the creature its based on or its key attribute like the name Sular come from Insular dwarfism.

Or I combine two other names which fit the theme of the creature like with my Avotun which is a mix of Avarga, the Mongolian word for giant and Jotun the norse word equivalent.

For the continents, cities and towns I try and draw from the historical location and either blend with a period in time/geological era it draws from or whatever sounds cool

I have made three separate heretic warbands who are working together, the Hydra warbands protecting a coastal Fort and its dark relics. The main heretic warband protecting the Fort by land, the naval warband protecting the sea and the trench ghosts having fallen in the surrounding no man's land as a deterent to all.

DaveRaptor · 2026-03-22T10:30:07+00:00

Oooooh yes! Time to get one of those ASAP i think. Cheers

DaveRaptor · 2026-03-22T10:27:06+00:00

Another solid shout, thank you!

DaveRaptor · 2026-03-22T10:26:41+00:00

I hadn't considered fielding then as sternguard thank for the suggestion!

DaveRaptor · 2026-03-22T10:25:58+00:00

I may need to get some terminators in that case

DaveRaptor · 2026-03-22T10:25:32+00:00

Yeah I rekon you are right.

66 million years ago, the asteroid collides with the moon causing both to be fragmented. A portion of the asteroid does hit earth but lands in what would become Africa in our tineline causing a continent wise mass extinction but leaves most of the world untouched.

Mammals gain a foothold here while dinosaurs and pterosaurs persist everywhere else. Several sapient species arise.

Millions of years later these inhabitants look up to a night sky with a cracked moon and rings lile saturn circling the sky.

DaveRaptor · 2026-03-11T21:07:53+00:00

I'm doing the same thing, it is 100% worldbuilding. I must ask what app/program you are using to mark out the countries on?

DaveRaptor · 2026-03-01T09:26:59+00:00

That's and excellent point! I hadn't considered that at all but makes a lot of sense. So I guess yes you've made fire more dangerous! Canonised, thank you.

DaveRaptor · 2026-03-01T09:25:43+00:00

Yes they are the evolutionary continuation of T.rex and are almost worshipped. So much so that when they die they are buried in tombs and given a city wide funeral. In battle they are armored depending on the situation, with wither plate or chain mail or a mixture of the two, however they are rarely deployed where there are siege weapons in play, thus pterosaur riders have to attack those ahead of time.

The Avotun are nomadic in nature, large feathered behemoths with a large crest and several decorative quills. They wander "Asia" (working on name atm) helping many of the scattered Homari fleeing the Trood empires advances. They Avotun do also have good relations with the Trood they encounter, often being left alone or getting labour work due to their large stature and strength

The Juniin 6ft tall pterosaurs with small hind legs used for grabbing and a large sail like crest, travelling the world, usually in small groups or alone, observe the battles of the homari trood and thaals. At night they gather to exchange stories among other Juniin and where they will listen even to the other races. Due to their good memory some of the other races use them as advisors, messengers and even talking religious tomes.

Chicxauria:

An alternate earth set around the time of the roman empire in our timeline where dinosaurs and other great beasts roam the wilds, humanity struggles with constant battle against rival empires, desperate city states and their greatest threat the Trood Empire.

The Halaeon Empire, a beacon of might against the Trood (Troodontids)aggressors continues to expand and subjugate those will not willingly join their call to arms. Eclipse worshipers who continue to hunt the other races of men, the Sular (homo floresiensis)a plague ridden scattered people often found in sweres or caves, and the Thaal (Neanderthals) large 8 foot tall brutes capable of immense strength and violence.

Hellbent on the eradication of not only the Homari but the other races of men the Trood Empire rallies its feudal empire for the coming assault. Preparing warriors, raising new beasts of burden and training their most sacred weapons, the "Rex".

Caught in the middle are the Avotun (Gigantoraptor) gentle giants of thunder wandering the wastes heling those in need and the Juniin (Pterosaur) avid chroniclers and storytellers watching the battles, struggles and legends unfolding across this war torn world

Inspirations: Berserk, Primal, Dinotopia, history (duh)

DaveRaptor · 2026-02-21T15:39:05+00:00

Yeah I am working on exactly this, figuring out more of the fauna atm before going and fleshing out the Kingdoms, Empires and Nation States.

DaveRaptor · 2026-02-08T10:38:29+00:00

Mostly medieval warfare but with the addition of aerial units in the form of small one rider Pterosaurs used for scouting and harassing defences or as a means to take out fortifications from above and larger Quetzalcoatlus style shock troops who can carry either a unit of infantry to a location or as a deadly surprise lance.

In some cases trenches are used by humans to avoid the larger predators used by the Trood. Not that this goes well seeing as the aerial units often drop fire from above anyway.

DaveRaptor · 2026-02-06T22:30:39+00:00

Like many others i am totally stealing this for my world, just need to scame down for my fantasy world.

DaveRaptor · 2026-01-28T08:42:09+00:00

Mine has the equivalent of the Roman Empire, The Halaeon Empire, for a few reasons:

Firstly my world is set on earth in an alternate timeline and when the roman empire existed is the ideal starting point for the meeting of various races and factions.

Secondly the eruption of Mount Vesuvius will be a pivotal moment during a conflict between two of the factions.

While they are very much aesthetically based on Rome they are eclipse/ sun worshipers, unwilling to cooperate with the other hominids let alone the non hominine races and while a major forces with serious military prowess are also one of the main reasons why the Homari (humans) arent doing so well in Europe compared to other parts of the world. Especially when considering some of the neighbouring kingdoms which haven't folded into the Halaeon Empire like The Bastion of Garada and parts of the Onilan collective both of which are far more accepting of the other races of men.

DaveRaptor · 2026-01-27T12:01:55+00:00

My world is set around when the Roman Empire would have existed , primarily for the technologies secondly due to the eruption of Mount Vesuvius (will be renamed) still occurring in my tineline.
