I am looking around the GW site for some cool stuff to add to my collection and found Mighty Empires. I have yet to run a campaign and was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on the tiles/models that come with it for narative campaigns.

I considered it but its alot of money for something I can just make

I like it... Useful if you have a few steady opponents and large enough armies to vary lists from battle to battle. Think of I more of a setting and a skeleton set of rules, to which you are encouraged to add your own flavor and interpretation.

yea the problem is having other people to play with on a regular basis. I have a realm of battle board and 3 fantasy armies that are large enough to play varied lists with. The High Elves and Orks and Goblins are much larger than my dwarves.

I could make it true, but I do not have a way to cast resin and I am not about to try to make something out of paper, it just doesn't look right to me. I would prefer to spend $50 on this than trying to make it. I do know people that could probably cast all of this for much less but like most GW terrain based products it is really reasonably priced.


Thanks for the input guys.

Mighty Empires is a good deal of fun, especially when used with an escalation campaign. The escalation aspect allows for the armies to grow as the campaign progresses, much like an actual army would grow. There are some good events and other things that spice things up.

The tiles are useful. The rules....a wee bit cumbersome. Any sort of campaign has potential to be fun depending on your gaming group.

Blood in the Badlands has a simplified version of the campaign system and to be honest, much more fun at that.

It's pretty fun. I'd combine it and Blood in the Badlands for a real nice campaign setting. But as others have said, campaigns really depend on your players.

Blood in the Badlands is excellent. I highly recommend it, in conjunction with ME.
