Hello everybody, I'm a new OPR player, actually, the first game will come very very soon, with my 10 years old son. My son always wanted "warhammer miniatures". I can understand him, they are very appealing. But as an old experienced gamer and toy librarian ( yes, true job), I know the prices, the difficulty to even start a casual game, the rules layers and so. So I promised him, we'll play "warhammer stuff" in a different way, and I found OPR. Bravo OPR for your ruleset, a very clever way to play. And I choose to play 10mm scale, individually based. You can find a unit of 10 miniatures for less than 3€. It was a no brainer for me. So, I offered him as a christmas gift a fully painted 10mm armie :Undead. And I started my own Wood Elves. And now it's time to fight !! He has a huge army, mine is still gathering. We will start with 1000 pts armies. Here are the warriors. He has 3 units of Skeletons like this one : ![]()  ![]() <img src="http:// ![""]() " alt="" style="max-width:100%;"> 2 units of ghoules 1 unit of skeleton cavalry
  1 unit of (very scary) Vampire cavalry

The Undead detachment is lead by 2 Vampires. Both level 2 Wizards...

I made a few changes in the rules, to reflect the sensations we want to find.
1) We use cm instaed of inches, for obvious reasons. :-)
2) Only the first rank can strike. ( We found for exemple no fun that a 10 Dryad unit can throw 30 dice on charge)
3) No upgrades, modifications are allowed except for the Heroes who can choose everything they want except the X2 hand weapons. ( We found a bit unbalaced a few modifications, in particular the X 2 hand weapons).
4) Failed Morale in melee do not lead to destruction, but the unit will flee by 2D6 cm ( 3D6 for cavalry). It can be pursue by the winner by 2D6 ( 3D6 for cavalry). If the winner catch the retreating unt, it is destroyed. If not the retreating unit will still flee until a Quality check is made during an activation ( very very classical wargame rule actually)
5) We will use the Ebb and Flow method for activation ( from the full rulebook), to add a bit of fog of war.
I, again and again, want to thank OPR to give my son and I, a so fun moment to share.
We are impatient to start the battle !!

Hi there, sorry for the thread necromancy - we're thinking about a similar project and I wanted to ask, what kind of bases are you using? We're not sure how to solve the basing adequately...

I'd be interested as well! I was eyeing the exact same models that OP posted, and would love to try out with some paper minis before purchasing.
