For Love of Starter Sets

So as you can probably guess from the title, I've always been really fond of starter sets in miniature games. They're just... exciting, you know? Especially the ones that actually come with full rule books. That's another i'm fond of collecting, to be honest. Rule books of all kinds.

With the pandemic and everything (what a phrase that is!) i'm quite obviously not doing any shopping, and that's not much of a much in the situation. But I have had a starter set sitting around that i wanted to get started on, and now i have! It's the Tempest of Souls set from age of sigmar, ghostly fellows vs wizardly knights, and it comes with an... ok rule book. It's gw so it's far more concerned with selling you things, but it does have one of my favorite other things: a set of intro games to play.

So that's what my next few posts will be. I'm going to play through this... not too complex intro games and paint and just have fun with them. I actually already started a bit ago, so without further ado, here we go!

The battle begins as our hero (or villain, depending on which side you're one) is charged by some ghostly horse fellows. Using their stabbing sticks, they stab him up good, dealing out a whole 1 wound! Our hero (his name is... Wilberforce. It's Wilberforce now) is in a spot of trouble.

But Wilberforce isn't about to give up, that's not the Wilberforce way! And with a mighty swing or two, he lays the ghost horsemen low.

The tide has truly begun to turn, and the turns have too, and Wilberforce the Decent (that's his name now. His full name.) Wilberforce the Decent charges his enemies and knocks them out  too! He's survived the day, and can now continue on with whatever it is he was doing. Going for a walk, I think.

 So, that's the first scenario! It's a pretty simple one obviously, meant to teach the basics of combat, but I'm having fun with this project so far, silly as it may be. Next, shooting!
