Bong - The 8th Wonder of the World

[Maenoferren]

HAve you ever noticed that no matter how many times you go over a piece of terrain when it is wet, s soon as it dries you can see all the white bits you missed
Will get some taken today in the daylight, rather than using the flash

Well we had another game tonight, it went horribly wrong from move three. The happy hunters had been tasked to take down a Parasauralophus to prove they could hunt before taking on anything dangerous. http://i215.photobucket.com/albums/cc31/Maenoferren/DSCF2097.jpg
this shows the game at turn 4 the large disks near the party are raptor stand ins, apologies for the unfinished terrain,I ran out of time 


They had gone three turns out of the gate and had spotted a flock of galiminus when I drew a club card, this meant that  something bad would happen, in this case 3 large raptors. The tracker/guide was very good at his knowledge of various dinosaurs, apart from the pack hunters. The problem was solved by Lord Addishum, Earl of Toxbury and Sturmbamfuherer Ulrich Von Schmurtzig who opened fire, killing two of the three.

However turn 4 meant reinforcements arrived with 8 of the beasties appearing in from the woods ( I drew another club) and encircling the hapless party. Three ran straight in and Attacked Sir Sidney Rough Diamond and his bearer, whilst the third attacked the guide. Everybody shot at something and all missed bar Lord Addishum, who killed his outright.

The next turn saw the raptors going first, another bearer went down and the rest closed in intent on their prey. A number of saved wound rolls later, a further 2 raptors were down and the party stood firm, rifles at their feet and colts spitting bullets left right and centre. Sir Sydney was in trouble with his beast so bravely he fired at the one attacking the guide, killing it with ease. the guide then took a shot at the raptor attacking Sir Syney, missing it completely and shooting the man instead, Sir sydney managed to soak the wound and had his hip flask blown apart instead.
Further flurries of shots and attacks occurred, with more wounds soaked and further raptors killed. At the end of turn 8 the one remaining raptor took flight and was gunned down by Sir Sydney with his winchester.


Von Schmurtzig was attacked every turn after the first and each time the raptor failed to wound him. Lord Addishum fired at the surviving raptor for 4 turns, never managing to kill it.We didnt get much further as a lot of the game had been taken up with the role play section in Puerto Rico. Another giggle of a game, with the hunters very quickly realising that they were the hunted.

Your reinforcements will be on their way tomorrow, so if they can find a cave and hold out, help is on it's way!

Hurrah!
considering they got about 300 yards from the gate, before running into difficulties, I feel I had better get the transport painted up as fast as possible so at least they can get to somewhere to shoot what they came to get! And at the rate they are going through gun holders the bearers pack would be very useful too.

Excellent stuff...although this:

Sir sydney managed to soak the wound and had his hip flask blown apart instead.

is a tragedy of epic proportions! 

[Maenoferren]

strangely enough Sir Sydney felt exactly the same way

[Maenoferren]

Well thats the spotter plane built, toying with the idea of adding the wires....hmmmmmmmm

Let's not...and say we did 

[Maenoferren]

yey like the idea 16th of an inch wires in 10mm scale would be invisible...I like you way of thinking
Now for colours..... hmmmmmm
Red, blue or white methinks or possibly bright yellow....

[nikharwood]

Oh - bright yellow seems to make so much sense...but it is Friday night as I type this..! 

[Maenoferren]

true but yellow can be a bugger to paint

here she is in all her unpainted glory

[Leon]

What colour attracts giant gorilla's?   

[Maenoferren]

good point she might look like a giant banana if she is yellow!

[Maenoferren]

OUt of interest are the flying dinosaurs the same as the flying dragons?

The flying lizards have their wings close to the body, you've got some of these I think?  The flying dragon has it's wings extended out, flames from the mouth, and no horn on the nose!

You'll be fine: undercoat white if you're painting yellow...or if you've already undercoated black etc, paint the I-want-those-bits-yellow white first & you'll be coolio 

[Maenoferren]

yeah was thinking white, orange, yellow- orange then yellow,then yellow-white for highlights but then again It will probably be white, yellow, yellow wash finished

[nikharwood]

What? No multiple layers with wet-blends? Heretic 

[Maenoferren]

They are all wet blends, I can never be bothered to wait for the layer before to dry 

[Maenoferren]

It is Blue, as is a portion of the kitchen wall..... I found a can of Ultramarines blue and thought yeah blue, gave it a dman good shaking and somehown, not quite sure how it kind of went kersplat and went in every direction except the plane. For some strange reason I decided to cover more than normal with paper (Normally I do it in the shed but it was raining) the paper got 95% of the paint, 4% got me and only 1% go the wall....oh am I in for a bollocking tomorrow!!!!!!!
