Greetings Readers, …and welcome back! So having got our discussion about the mechanics of the new edition of Warhammer 40,000 out of the way, it’s time to tackle the upheaval it’s brought to the metaplot of the setting. Now, whilst I stated it clearly in part one, I’m going to restate it again for part…
Octavus (Pt.I)
Greetings Readers, Now that I’ve got my grievances with Great Britain out of the way, it’s time to get back to the business of being an avid wargamer. Back at the end of March, I took a look at Games Workshop’s Gathering Storm and made some very general prognostications about what it might herald for…
Rule Britannia?
Greetings Readers, “Allow me first to apologise for this interruption” seems like an apposite quote to start this post, as does the image of the eponymous ‘V’ from the film adaptation of Moore and Lloyd’s classic V for Vendetta. Why do you ask? Well, there has been a significant and very obvious interruption to my planned…
Turbulence
Greetings Readers, Now that my excitement over Arkham Horror has died down somewhat, it’s finally time to get down to the business of tackling the hobby’s current ‘elephant in the room’; Games Workshop’s Gathering Storm. Naturally, it would be remiss of me to continue without first shouting, “SPOILER WARNING!” for the benefit of those who’ve somehow managed to…
Maddening
Greetings Readers! As it was Games Workshop’s iconic Warhammer 40,000 which first drew me into miniature wargaming a good 25+ years ago, I had intended for my first ‘hobby’ related post to be about the changes already afoot in the setting as part of the triumvirate of Gathering Storm campaign books currently causing a stir in the…
Resurrection
Greetings Readers! Thanks to the steadfast efforts of my dear, antipodean friend Tim Colwill, Eroberung has been resurrected from the ashes to rise once more with renewed purpose! However, as a blog dedicated simply to the writing of Memoirs of Conquest, Eroberung’s remit was rather self-limiting and (as can be evidenced by the gaps between posts),…
Ontological Warfare
Greetings Readers! Despite appearances to the contrary, Eroberung yet lives – Unfortunately, an August wedding in another country makes for a dreadfully compressed scheduled, leaving little time for literary excursions, especially when travelling to and fro to exchange paperwork with various registry offices and assure various foreign officials of honourable intentions. Throw in the intensity of Spring and Summer terms…
Distractions
Greetings Readers! Unfortunately it’s been a while since Eroberung’s last article, but rest assured, whilst site has remained silent, behind the scenes work has been progressing a-pace on Memoirs and the impromptu hiatus gives us the perfect opportunity to discuss something that most writers don’t readily like to talk about: Distractions. Obviously, there exist in life those happy…
Inspirations
Greetings Readers! In my last post I discussed aspirations for Eroberung and Memoirs of Conquest, so it seems only logical and in keeping with the penchant of many writers, that I discuss inspirations in my next post. It also provides an enjoyable dash of alliteration, which is always welcome… However, literary whimsy aside, I actually find the subject of inspiration a difficult…
Aspirations
Greetings readers, Ross here! It’s a real pleasure to see Eroberung up-and-running at last, providing a unique space to keep track of my endeavours, especially when that space is so marvellously sleek and modern (my thanks to Tim Colwill of NotSoUnwashed for his assistance in this)! But what do I actually hope to achieve here, and how do I…
