The Kill Teams of Grinsteadus Prime

 "On the Anvil of War are the strong tempered and the weak made to perish, thus are men's souls tested as metal in the forge's fire."

Grinsteadus Prime

The system of Grinsteadus Prime sits in a strategic position. Warring parties often send small elite kill teams to try and gain a vital foothold on the planet. It is rumoured among locals that there is a mysterious gate...and that demons have been spotted roaming the barren wastelands.

The Fall of the Necromancer Campaign

''Ash nazg durbatulûk, ash nazg gimbatul,

Ash nazg thrakatulûk, agh burzum-ishi krimpatul.''

As some of you may know, the club has its own YouTube channel where we like to post bat reps and general ramblings. Over the last 6 months, Chris and I (plus various special guests) have been filmed the Fall of the Necromancer Campaign. If you haven't had chance to watch them yet, check out the videos below. 

Final Thoughts

Chris: Loved the campaign, great scenarios, all super fun and tight games. So much love put into writing these battles and the balance is there for all to see, just look at the results, 3 good wins, 3 evil wins and 1 draw!

Sam: This was such a great campaign to play in. So many twists and turns. I think the Castellans of Dol Guldor are some of my favourite models now. They have been immense in every scenario I used them in. They for me are my models of the series.







Kieran: I have been wanting to play this campaign for such a long time. It was great to recreate the struggles of the white council, even if they were ultimately defeated. I would love to play through the campaign again but swap over to the evil side and take control of those pesky (read awesome) castellans.

Fireworks in Rivenstead: Event Pack and New custom scenario

After much tinkering and testing, the MSWG events team are proud to release the rules pack for the upcoming tournament, FIREWORKS IN RIVENSTEAD.

We have even filmed a battle report showcasing the newest custom scenario! The rules for this scenario can be found in the rules pack. See the description of the video for a link or see below.

The rules pack is still subject to minor changes but nothing major will change between now and the event. Check out the rules pack here!

Any questions or queries please email midsussexwargamers@gmail.com or get in touch with Sam over on the GBHL Facebook page. 

Happy Wargaming!
