Combat cards? I thought we were talking Oldhammer here. What the heck are combat cards? ;-) You’ve got a heroic squat fighting an ambull . . . let’s see . . . Gorun should have a Rogue Trader era weapon’s skill of between five and seven and he might, possibly have as many as three wounds with two being a bit more likely of a heroic sort. But let’s give him the major hero stats and assume three and the WS-7. The ambull is WS-5, also with three wounds. Giving Gorun the major hero stats he would then be the equal of the ambull in initiative and attacks. (But no better. I-5 with three attacks eaches. Those ambulls are fast! They move fast too.) The ambull has straight up strength five attacks. The squat has a power glove and flack armor, by all appearances, which should give him at least a very minimal save and leave the ambull asking why he bothered to roll against that first attack, but the other two are unlikely to be so effective, being strength four improvised against a toughness five monster. So yes, a really great squat hero could probably take the ambull, as long as he’s armed and armoured. Otherwise it might well flip back the other way, given the ambull’s strength advantage over even a major hero. And anyone at all lesser . . . watch out. Don’t go one on one. And that’s just an average ambull. Surely they have some variation as well. Ahab will tell you not all whales are created equal. Anyway . . . Fun stuff!

Warmaster Gorun has the second-highest Weapon Skill in all of the Citadel Space Wars combat cards and therefore the Warhammer 40,000 universe. I find the idea a lowly Ambull can beat him ludicrous.

The lighting in the photos reminds me of the promo shots for the first 40k Predator tank, WD #111 or so IIRC.

Beautiful painting Curis. The turquoise elements in the claws and teeth work really well.

Yeah, I can get more excited by seeing an incomplete miniature on the second hand market nowadays as it means there’s a better chance of me nabbing it.

I think I’ll do more Umber Hulks in the future, I’m getting a taste for them.

Thanks Grove!
