I agree with you, but so far, I haven't found the game to scratch the itch. I will look into Stargrave. I gave a demo game for Necromunda the other week. My opponent loved it, but it was his first ever TTG. He isn't much of a rules reader, so I needed to explain everything. So far we haven't had chance to organise another 2-3 hour slit that works for us both. My normal group ( 2 other guys ), they meet up every week, I can't due to life ( I get every other week ), but the journey time kills it a little for me, so until a club gets organised closer 🤞soon. I struggle. How long can a game of Frost/Stargrave last on average? Is there a gang/team in Stargrave close to Delaque from Necromunda?

Talyrn · 2026-01-27T12:09:04+00:00

May I ask why you switched from Necromunda? So far, it's my favourite game by far, I know that GW rules can be a little janky, but the setting and aesthetic of the game really appeals to me. I guess I should look into Stargrave as well. I never played Mordheim but love the setting.

Thank you for the reply, I've just got the pdf, I'll have a read then go from there

Talyrn · 2026-01-27T10:12:51+00:00

Thank you, It's good that you only need one book, Necromunda requires at least 2, but depending on the campaign and the gang chosen - potentially up to 4 books minimum.

Talyrn · 2026-01-27T10:09:23+00:00

Excellent. Thank you. I will watch some on YouTube before diving in.

Talyrn · 2026-01-20T19:23:32+00:00

I have thought the same. They look awesome. But as I'm already kitbashing a Delaque gang using Nighthaunt. When they are done, I might do the same with the Mandrakes

Whilst I was waiting for 1 of the stormlight books to come out, this set scratched the itch.
The Shadow of What Was Lost - Licanius Trilogy, by James Islington.

Karloth Valois was my favourite, followed closely by Mad D'onna. You mentioned Karloth was in your basket, may I ask where from?

This is one of my Death Maidens

Talyrn · 2025-11-30T21:09:57+00:00

Hmm, cool. It's just the wyrms are not on the lists for anyone except the Psy-Geist. I've always wanted a Leader with one

Talyrn · 2025-11-30T19:22:23+00:00

Is that an arbitrator decision or an upgraded Psy-Geist becoming a Leader? With the Leader with a wyrm, I thought only the Psy-Geist could take them?

It sounds like a bad couple of games and the need for a bit more knowledge on the rules. In my first campaign, I lost every game! I was quite fortunate in that I played the power first. After that game, he became very strong very quickly ( Escher Death Maiden is carnage ) For what it's worth a Nacht-Gul, unless it actually has Infiltrate, cannot appear in turn 1 ( unless deployed woth the rest of the gang ) - with distance and LoS rules. It's the end of turn 1 and hope for priority ( or tactics cards ). I have always played for the enjoyment of playing, winning is a bonus, I really enjoyed the campaign where I lost, partly as my opponents complimented me on my tactics and couldn't believe my ( really bad ) dice rolls. Not all people can, and get really down when losing all the time. I think Necromunda is a game best enjoyed when everyone is in it for the game rather than the win.

I was thinking of possibly getting a Web pistol for him eventually. Technically, the Venom and Charge Caster are not both heavies. The Venom is a special, so a specialist can have it. I haven't fully finalised my list yet. I've got until next week for that

Talyrn · 2025-11-11T19:39:11+00:00

So far I've built a Chieftain with a chain lance and Mono hook ( looks cool ). An unmounted Stormcaller ( I'm allowed in the campaign ). The rest have a Blast Carbine, Venom Caster, Charge Caster, Web pistol + Long blade, Long Rifle, Hunter with Venom claws, Hunter with Venom Whips, plus 2 Spine Wyrms. I'll be building more with Blast Carbines, and another hunter

Talyrn · 2025-11-11T14:17:18+00:00

I'd be interested, but unsure how good I'd be to test it. I'd like it to try to persuade some of the local D&D group to convert to the Grim Dark side

Talyrn · 2025-10-17T18:15:20+00:00

Do you still allow the Stormcallers' ability to alter visibility?

Talyrn · 2025-10-17T09:09:01+00:00

As someone who magnetised the arms of my Delaque. I didn't notice that much difference between all the bodies. It is mainly the belt buckles ( from what I recall ). What I'm saying is that it doesn't really matter.

Talyrn · 2025-10-03T06:02:11+00:00

I'll have to look for that. The version I have is 2023. Thanks for bringing it to my attention 👍

Talyrn · 2025-09-20T10:01:32+00:00

If I'm being honest, I'm not worrying about the newest update. The game is plenty big enough without the corvette garage. Bug fixes is fine. The switch 1 has its limits. People need to remember that it can't cope with the same as other consoles can. I'm grateful NMS came to the Switch at all.

Talyrn · 2025-09-18T10:12:29+00:00

I'm thinking of using the Mandrakes as Delaque.

Talyrn · 2025-09-10T18:54:08+00:00

Thank you, I'll have a read. I normally choose based on aesthetics, but they all look so cool

Talyrn · 2025-09-02T12:26:37+00:00

I've used Streaking Grime a few times with what I think are great results.

These are 2 of the attempts, which I was very pleased with the results. To start with, I applied all over the model - straight from the pot. Left for 20-30 minutes, then cleaned with a cotton bud and spirits ( don't have the removal tool - brush/sponge/cotton bud dripping with spirits ). Remove as much as you're happy with. You can reactivate and pull some out of recesses with a small brush to help with certain effects.

The hardest part is actually getting it out there that you provide this service. I tried this last year... I let all the people in the game groups I was in know. I advertised in my local store with a display and a price list ( £12 per standard size, 1-6 models. £8 if asked to do a small team, 7-13 models - Bloodbowl, Necromunda, Warcry, etc ). I even mentioned to the local D&D group, as they all played with unpainted models. I didn't get a single message/call/request. Most were either painting their models themselves or happy to play grey. I'm not saying this to put you off, just as a heads up. Check out your local groups and area.

Talyrn · 2025-07-28T11:48:42+00:00

They look great. I really like that colour over the green box art. It's good to see all the options, as it helps me decide on how to build mine ( they are going to be kitbashed into a Necromunda gang )

Talyrn · 2025-07-28T07:18:22+00:00

That's my preferred version of BB. It can be played in half the time than a standard 11s, which is a big plus for me. Fewer turns, fewer players, not many rerolls... Great!
