You’re welcome. Your battle reports are always fun to read. I don’t care for logos or symbols on dice as a rule but those just look so thematic. (It might be even better if one were identifiable as Thought and the other as Memory but that may be asking a bit much). I’ll have to see if I can locate a pair.

Thank you! As soon as I have news about publication, it’ll be here. I bought the raven dice on holiday in Copenhagen but think they are Chessex. Normally I’m not keen on dice where the logo = 1, but it was perfect in this case as 1 = wounded Hero in Midgard.

Thank you! Yes, mobs of Orcs are the way to go – I’m about to base my latest group in 6s.

Myself and Andy H had another game of Midgard last night. Old school Skaven v Elves. The more I play, the more I love the rules. I like how the use of magic makes subtle changes to game without being game breaking. Painting some old school chaos now to add a different flavour to the game.

Can’t beat a disguised scenario.
