This post tells me I'm missing out. The idea of collecting and painting up a force for these scenarios is pretty appealing.

The old Warhammer fantasy world sounds to have been a remarkably interesting place . . . which only stands to reason, since the one it borrows from most heavily is kind of neat. (No, not that middle one. Yeah, it leans on that too. More than a little. The other one. The . . . oh . . . never mind.) Well written!

And to compound the issue further, there were so few individual sculpts available, that even if you wanted to make a Slann army, you'd be forced to fill it with doubles, triples & quadruples! Both things combined to make owning a Slann army a very unappealing option for a teenager in Melbourne when I was growing up.<br /><br />The setting is/was very cool yes.....the mini's not so much :(<br /><br />I reckon if they had made more of an effort on the mini front then it may have stood a very good chance of becoming a "mainstay army". But, we'll never know?<br /><br />Cheers Whiskey :)Mr Papafakishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05449586265828153638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3298356674700006690.post-69711278297255960882016-09-05T10:50:23.229+01:002016-09-05T10:50:23.229+01:00Kremlo the Slann was the first Warhammer adventure...Kremlo the Slann was the first Warhammer adventure I ever read (after the Redwake River Valley).

For a long-time convert it's nice to read a fresh take on the topic.<br /><br />It's interesting how the background of the Slann shifts from the simple frogmen of Kremlo to the genetic-engineering frogmen from space in WFB2, where lizardmen had always lived underground (even before the Old Slann arrived) and Elves but a by-product of their genetics experimentation, but then I suppose there wasn't really any attempt at a coherent setting before WFB2, and even then it was more open and free-wheeling than what it would become in 3rd and later.<br /><br />Kremlo is credited to Halliwell in the Compendium, on the index page. Guess print has some advantages besides being able to gawp at the epic glossy wrap-around Blanche artwork. :-) Zhu Bajieehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13945636483237344750noreply@blogger.com
