Cards for ‘Never Mind the Billhooks’ from WI. And contemplating commissioning new bases for WotR horseys to go with the rules.

The rules read well, and they’re by Andy Callan so that’s a big plus. Haven’t playtested yet, although that’s coming soon., they look to be a sort of Lion Rampant/Sharp Practice kind of thing and have scope for a bit of period shift into Renaissence. The cards were cheap, £6, so worth a punt even if I end up making my own.

Just received an as new boxed VOR The Maelstrom game, I'll own up, this is my third copy , in my defence it was dirt cheap, unopened and after a bit of work I can probably sell on the scenery. The Growler horde grows ever larger.

It was suggested in the background article in WI. The typical make up of a force would be a bit different but nothing you couldn't handle.

WI indicated that Arcane Scenery would be producing acrylic token sets for Billhooks, I've just asked when they will be available.

So, the rules are free but you have to buy cards from WI and tokens from elsewhere.. hmm.

I suspect you don't need to buy cards or tokens.

Is there a pdf available of the rules or does it only come physically with WI - couldn't see it on their website
