The Old World: War of Vengeance

Warhammer is full of wonderful, old, lore and one of the best parts is the War of Vengeance or the War of the Beard depending on which side you're on. This is the breaking point of relations between Elves and Dwarfs long before the setting of any edition of Warhammer Fantasy. It's a great read if you can find the trilogy from Black Library that adds some great context and shows a lot of "firsts" for both of these...

Commander Focus: Eat Your Foes – Boil ‘Em, Mash ‘Em, Stick ‘Em in a Stew (Frodo, Adventurous Hobbit and Sam, Loyal Attendant)

This week I'm back with a seasonal brew helmed by Frodo, Adventurous Hero and Sam, Loyal Attendant.

There are a number of...

This is the breaking point of relations between Elves and Dwarfs long before the setting of any edition of Warhammer Fantasy. It's a great read if you can find the trilogy from Black Library that adds some great context and shows a lot of "firsts" for both of these ancient peoples. The short of it: Dark Elves tricked the Dwarfs, the Elves retaliated cutting off the beard of a...
