43 of 43 · most liked firstLast night's Old World game was amazing. Absolute carnage from start to finish - but a victory for the Dwarves! Despite being on a single wound, the Cart trundled along the road, delivered its ale to the beleagured Bugman, and broke the Goblin line. Some more description in the alt text...
unlabelledView post →Fought an excellent game of Old World yesterday, again the Dwarves proved indomitable and my Tomb Kings army just bounced off! There were some great scraps and mighty challenges, but in the end the only unit I managed to kill was the Dwarf King in a duel with my Tomb King! Oh well, next time...
unlabelledView post →My Hochland army has had its first outing! I was narrowly beaten by the Dwarves. It was a really fun game, I particularly enjoyed the War Wagon and Pigeon Bombs. I was doing well but some contagious panic really lost me some ground. #Nerdlings #WarhammerCommunity #OldWorld #BattleReport
unlabelledView post →Two exciting games of Midgard Heroic Battles tonight testing out a fantasy campaign. The Dwarves of the Iron Valley lost out to the Orcs both times; the first game was close but the second was a disaster 🤣. #miniatures #wargaming #spreadthelard #midgardheroicbattles #warhammer #nerdlings
unlabelledView post →Last night was an incredible game, and a decisive victory for the Dwarves! Most of the Night Goblin army panicked and fled when the Giant was killed, and it was very difficult to rally them. Did get some good Fanatics off though! #OldWorld #Nerdlings #WarhammerCommunity
unlabelledView post →Had a great game of Old World yesterday, my Hochland army took on the Dwarves. My long rifles picked off the battle standard bearer, but I just couldn't break past their artillery into the flanks, and the tough infantry managed to batter their way to my gunline, sending my army fleeing.
unlabelledView post →It's time for the penultimate game - Old World. My Night Goblins faced off against the Dwarves, despite me getting some lucky early charges and good Fanatic hits, I couldn't quite land the final blow and ended up with my army breaking and fleeing the field.
unlabelledView post →Yesterday I ran two hugely fun games for 7 great players at Midgard Moot. A win by the most narrow of margins by the Dwarves in the first game, and a stinking thrashing of the Dwarves in the afternoon game. All followed by several beers and curry. Great day out! #Midgard

Tonight I’ve knocked up the ruined bridge and the Dwarves’ wall. Painting next! #mogsymakes #middleearth #wargaming #miniatures

In Glory to the Dwarves, players take on the roles of dwarves from 3 clans who will naturally create a bustling atmosphere of a medieval fantasy tavern."
unlabelledView post →Harding’s quest in The Deep Roads has definitely been a highlight of the game for me. The Dwarves in Dragon Age has always fascinated me, so going through this playing a Dwarf Rook especially felt appropriate #DragonAgeVeilguard #VeilguardSpoilers #VirtualPhotography #VPSupport #VPRepost

unlabelledView post →We did it. This game is getting fun: We the Dwarves are going aggro against the forces of Sauron. Watch us with your evil eye in the sky will you? Dwarves do not consent to be watched. We want to be left alone to dig for gold but nooo now we gotta fight the orcs. Sauron keeps spying on us.
unlabelledView post →A very very tense game with both sides down to their last units and reputation tokens. The charge in the rear clinched for the Dwarves, but it could just as easily gone the other way. #Midgard #MurphysHeroes
unlabelledView post →Not the last time, they also have quest and song in game The Dwarves, but unfortunately the concert is only narration song still a banger non the less www.youtube.com/watch?v=F5X7...
unlabelledView post →For sure, which yes, it's weird to have that take with a game. Honestly, I knew by Trespasser something horrific had happened to the Dwarves, but DATV showed us all, just how horrific it was. Yet, no one talks about it.
unlabelledView post →Table two for Sword Weirdos. This time a secenario from Frostgrave. In the center of the map we have the Well of Futures and the scenario awarded 5pts for finishing the game with a model who drank from it, 2pts for killing a model who drank from it, and 1pt per taken lootbox. The Dwarves won.

unlabelledView post →The Turalyon one is so insanely blatant to me because that's just... not at all how that went in the actual context of what was happening. What was he meant to do? The Alliance had already lost 4/7 Kingdoms AND the Dwarves AND the Gnomes and BARELY managed to keep Quel'Thalas in the game with-

unlabelledView post →Ok so while yes I want Dwarven Supremacy there are cave dragons and wizards that can do earthquakes and most game worlds acknowledge that most of the Dwarves food is actually surface crops so I feel like they should also be in smaller groups if one takes into account how dangerous fantasy worlds are

unlabelledView post →The songs that were like 100% yes with 0 doubt were Battle With the Four Fiends, Roses of May, Ending Theme (FFX), Ascension, and The Dwarves. Final Fantasy Adventure/Adventures of Mana is the first game from the Seiken Densetsu series which was a Final Fantasy spin off. Love love love
unlabelledView post →Morrowind lore was so deep, especially with all the connections to the actual plot of the game. Especially with all of the blatantly obvious lies going on with the Tribunal and their whole mythos. Or the Dwarves mythos and their disappearance.

Today I'm going for a lazy and relaxing day, tinkering a bit with :discord: #discord and then playing some #VideoGames, such #DeepRockGalactic and #TheDwarves I don't have to cook anything for this evening/night as we will spend the night with friends at their house. I'd want to say more, but it's not safe to say more at present time, so 🤞 and let's wait a few days. I wish you all a happy new year!

unlabelledView post →Just finished #TheDwarves first playthrough, using the #steamdeck My, what a beauty of a game! It's not refined, it's not optimized (although runs very well on the deck) but what it lacks in the technical section you'll get in the epicness of the scenery and the background story, plus the animations. If you have a few bucks and love the books of Markus Heintz I strongly suggest to buy this game as well https://store.steampowered.com/app/403970/The_Dwarves/ #gaming #videogames #steam Edited: typo

I'm going to look at #TheDwarves and see if it's a game that could end on #twitch. Later I'll have to promote at least two dwarves on #DeepRockGalactic and give some more thoughts about a #Discord server. What are your plans for today? :blobcattea: Will you spend it resting or are you already adventuring?
