Gaming - ZoomHammer Trials - Playing Warhammer in Lockdown Orders noted Sir. Advance on me men!    Recently, we've been trying out playing some Warhammer Fantasy Battles during the lock-down by using Zoom. We've imaginatively labelled this Zoomhammer and are playing 2000 point, winner stays on battle-line games. I've set up my games table and use my phone for a 'live' camera feed. (I use a couple of elastic bands to secure it to an adjustable lamp on my painting desk, but I may invest in a better / dedicated camera and stand in the future).

Preparation    This war-machine and its crew are all metal models so the first thing I do is check over the models for any mould lines and spiky burrs. Just clip off the spikes and carefully file down the imperfections. With the addition of Angry Toby the Orc Bully, the Rock Lobba Crew becomes much more "Eh-Fishunt!"
