Can I grab some cheap Warcry warbands from Stormbringer magazine?

I found out what minis come with the first 10 issues of the Warhammer Stormbringer magazine and have been wondering what warbands I could put together for Warcry on the cheap ever since... here's my thoughts.

I haven't posted about it but I recently got into Warcry and it's great for a quick skirmish game, I'll try to post some more stuff if people like it!

Seemingly the following not-Space-Marines-honest units will come with the magazine:

Knight Arcanum (spellcaster) - 205 points

5x Vindictors (spearmen) - 135 or 170 points each

Praetor hero (halberdy bodyguard) - 160 or 215 points

Lord Imperatant + Gryph Hound - 240+115 = 355 points

Xandire's Truthseekers - now these are interesting! I can't use the bird but the others have a sword (Vanquisher?) a bow (Vigilor?) and a hammer (Annihilator or a Lord maybe?) so it will be fun to play with the options!

Kruleboyz

Who doesn't like orcs (or Orruks?)?

Killaboss + Stab Grot - 180+45 = 225 or 190+45 = 235 points

10x Gutrippas (orcs) - 75 or 140/145 points each

10x Hobgrot Slittas - 70 points each

Swampcalla Shaman + Pot Grot - 165+45 = 210 points 

So, let's see what we can make from this lot...

Six blog posts I should have told you about last year...

Some stuff you may have missed from the blogosphere - now I'm off to find out what I may have missed since last year!

I've been pointed to some interesting starting material for OSR games at Paul's Gameblog - having started D&D at 4e and disliked 3e I never experienced "the old school" and wouldn't know where to start.  There is a lot of OSR sensibility that appeals to me...

For those wanting to add some flavour to NPCs, DIY and Dragons has this fantastic link list for backgrounds and occupations.

Thinking about both Cthulhu and Blades in the Dark, and now just in time for Hallowe'en, I was happy to stumble upon this ghostly generator at Archons March On.

Against the Wicked City imagined the Warhammer universe in the context of classic English literature - and it's absolutely beautiful!

More OSR goodness over at Slugs and Silver - a collection of all sorts of great random tables (and you know I love random generators)

I have to include this plug and play dungeon room from Sheep and Sorcery just because it's such a good idea, and well executed too.

Please support the blogosphere and let me know any great finds of your own in the comments.
