It's certainly near the GD standards of the very early 90s, which is when I was paying attention. I take it that it has become more hardcore since then.Like I said, my brother could probably give you a run for your money, but I don't know many people who paint as well as you.

I guess things are different now then.

That's true about the armies: I really miss the old Games Workshop. I kept the Warhammer Roleplay manual around for years just for the artwork.

I had the very one. Good stuff.

Now, a question. Do you have the album "Oblivion" released by Warhammer Records about 12 years ago? It featured Brian May, IIRC.

I remember the Warhammer music releases, back when GW were great.

I really miss the old GW. Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay was hands down the best RPG I ever played. Its expansive career system ruined me for all other pen and paper RPGs: my favourite character was a highwayman I had (with a pair of silver embossed guns paid for by previous larceny). There's nothing finer than clearing out a Skaven infested dungeon beneath a damned village as a Gamekeeper in company with a Troll Slayer, a Rat Catcher, a Wizard's Apprentice, and a Beggar.

GW should really sue Blizzard for the latter's ripping off of the "look and feel" of their fantasy games. World of Warcraft might as well have been designed by GW circa 1989, except that GW's sense of humour was more sophisticated than Blizzard's.

there is that, but there have been many staff changes at GW as well.

they've re-released warhammer fantasy roleplaying, though. might be worth it to you to take a look.
