Fred's 2016 Painting Diary

Last Friday's Game



More Fantasy mass battle using our home brew rules - this time using an Age of Sigma scenario, which had a summoning portal in the middle.

A fun game, I was Forces of Nature (lots of Pendraken figures) vs Vampire Counts. VC won, as they were able to get their summoner in, summon the second half of their army then get him away. I'd made an error in putting all my troops through the middle, should have put some fast movers as a flanking force.

The VC heavy cavalry did a dressage around the outside of the ruined castle - and were so ineffectual, and annoying in their mere useless presence that the VC commander removed them from the sub-commander, and put the figures away!

Like it - is that a Kallistra castle?

Looks like great fun, Forbes !

Thanks chaps

is that a Kallistra castle?

Yep, a few bits of a mates very large collection of pieces. It needs a bit more painting, as it's essentially flat grey at the minute.

[Subedai]

Nice looking game, especially like the castle.

Remind me either i) never to employ that construction company, or ii) to get some of the guns or rams that made so many breaches!

It was supposed to be an old ruin!

But with some builders it could be brand new!

Squats

Back to teeny-tiny bright-green space dwarfs



Did some final detailing on these chaps, waiting for the final wash to dry, and should be able to base them up in the next couple of days

Friday's Game - more Fantasy with our own rules, but using Warmaster figures

The Empire gun line tries (unsuccessfully) to shoot off the undead cavalry cresting the hill


The undead hordes mass to capture the village, while the Empire knights and flagellants prepare to wipe out the skeleton archers

Looks good

...The undead hordes mass to capture the village...

Fantasy is not my thing but cavalry capturing a village seems strange
