Goonhammer Historicals: The Barons’ War: Outremer

Outremer is an expansion, campaign and sourcebook for taking your Barons’ War games literally “over-seas”, into the Levantine Crusader states and their Islamic neighbours. It contains army lists for Franks (westerners) in both Crusading and Settled varieties, Military Orders like the Templars and Hospitallers, the forces of Islam in dizzying variety, Bandits, Bedouin and historical figures.

We're less than a week away from the 2024 World Championships of Warhammer in Atlanta, Georgia.

Magic: the Gathering Foundations Review, Part 3 of 3: Red, Green, Multicolor, and Colorless Cards

Sometimes, just occasionally, it's nice to bend the skills of a wargamer towards something cosy and adorable. When my dear friend and inveterate wannabe-hobbit Drew finally got the keys to her first house, my wife Alex suggested we buy her a hobbit hole for the wall-o-bookshelves she was dreaming of.
