Warhammer: The Old World | Nuln & Knightly Orders | A look to the Past for Armies of Infamy clues

I still have the 6th edition Empire book from when I was 12 I think.

Loved pouring over the Nuln army pictures in there and now I’m conflicted on my original plan of re-painting and painting all my 6th edition troops as a Westerland army…

It seems like the answer is I’ll need to paint at least two Empire armies.

I posted the paint parts of the knight article to the big Facebook group and people really seemed to like it - I think people are pretty excited for Empire even if their rules aren’t the most competitive

I must admit im so very tempted to turn my Empire Spearmen into Pikemen .

Good to see some Old World back in WD. It'll take waaay more like in these beautiful old mags for a sub but I did pick up the same issue with the 4 gamers. Grudgebringers were my fav Empire mercs, though I don't think they ever made it from PC gaming into the official rules. Just had a more rugged and battle hardened feel to most empire and maybe something more like mercs would be in current timeline. It's what I'd do with my own Empire in any case. EpicTabletop did some fantastic narration and models.

Most of the War Wagon weapons have Old World rules but the man catcher sounds like Killing Blow?

Can someone timestamp where the new/leaked TOW Empire info is please?

I wish pikes were an option because it would make the warlord/perry kits available as cheap/nice options for state troops.

its possible to use state troops and missile kits to make nuln ironsides from forge world?

I did enjoy this. I love those old white dwarves

This was a lovely look back, i really hope the new Nuln army isnt as boring as the old one, which in my experience leaned hard into pure gunline with MSU handgunners with longrifle champions and artillery for days.

Hair is over rated lost that in my early 20s when I had identical twin daughters...I'm 52 now and still no middle age spread...thank goodness

Enjoyed that wander through some classic WDs, some great inspiration although its not going to help my already lengthy painting queue!

Which one has the best paint guide for Reikland? Lol

GW did an official book some time ago named 'Warhammer Uniforms & Heraldry of the Empire' which shows diagrams of all the different uniforms per city state.

Another great video!

Thank you for the video, looking forward to the Old World release of Empire.

I still have all my old White "Dworfs", also the General's compendium before it was sold out, a timeless gem of a book.

I've always regretted losing all my minis, books and magazines from the late 80s. Pity.

I deeply hope the engineer on mechanical horse makes a return

Wild that they did not include a Cult of Ulric when they are setting the game at a time when the support of the cult was so important to those trying to set themselves as one of the multiple emperors.

Oh for Pete’s sake. Didn’t think about digging out the old magazines. Another project. They’re in the closet somewhere.

Another cracking video. I do like a look though old publications for some inspiration. Looking forward to the Empire release

I absolutely adore going back through the old WDs, and have gone a bit mad replacing all the ones which disappeared when I moved house in 2007 (i.e my parents threw them out!)

I don't know if you've noticed but I thought it was funny how you can literally see the Grim Dark take hold just going off the colour of the issues, moving from the bright red, yellow and blues of the 90s into purples then black spines around issue 250!

Nice video! I remember a White Dwarf with an empire conversion guide in it, using the at the time new plastic great sword kit. Did you come across this one?

Those really take me back, I wish I still had my white dwarfs :(

I just found your channel and I love it. And I'm also called Stuart which is fun.

Thanks for doing the legwork on the historic empire back catalogue! I never kept my old White Dwarfs which I'm definately bummed about, so it was interesting to see what you managed to dig out.

I think there might be an online vault of White Dwarfs if you subscribe to Warhammer+ - but I don't, so I haven't got access to check!

It will be very interesting to see what does see a return even if it ends up as MTO.
The old white dwarf mags sure were extensive in what they were willing to show you, obviously not the whole thing of the empire army book but a decent portion of it all the same. Wonderful trip down memory lane in your video 😀

That new special character looks very interesting for mercenaries as he removes any chance of them misbehaving so they can just be like the rest of your army (imperial dwarfs, ogres etc here we come!)

Attempt 3 in posting a reply; great video! I agree with most of your sentiments. Are you aware of this tome: "Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay: Up in Arms" it has a lot of information on mercenaries in the Old World and all the Knightly Orders of the Empire including whether they field demigryphs or not.

Interesting to see the pictures from the old White Dwarf mags. Look forward to Empire being released for Old World and seeing wht they will come out with as I am sure we will get more than what they have shown us so far.

There is always something to be said for that poor bloke with his spikey stick in a world of demons, dead guys and other strange creatures
