Thanks. I think.

The easiest way to get more posts seems to be via nonsense.

What exactly are you trying to tell us, Fred?

Had a nice big parcel arrive from minibits today - mainly bases. But it did include these to 15mm lizard riders from the Minibits range



I rather like the gangly length of them, so they will find a place in my Lizardman army - perhaps as dino riders?

Look forward to seeing them painted up, Fred.
Cheers - Phil.

As do I!

[fred.]

What paint scheme for these ones then? As the last collective effort produce a rather good (if somewhat un-intended result).

Buzzard or red kite?

Look this reptile ! like the style, the tale and the long face...

about colour? maybe something with spots like this

ML - like the look of the red kite, and will remember it for the next eagle style figures - but not sure how it would work on a running dinosaur.

The spotty look might work...

Last night we played a game - Elves vs Undead, the elves were trying to reach a tower on the far hill to stop the undead necromancer summoning up some giant beasty.



This is after the first turn - the elven shooting has shot away a lot of the yellow undead infantry unit (Pendraken Egyptian Skeleton Guards) and about half the chariots on the right.

The game went well - but ultimately there was too far for the Elves to go to reach their objective. If we try this scenario again we will play across the table, so there is more space for flanking attacks and less distance to travel to reach the objective



Looking over the backs of my elves - mainly GW figures, but the forest creatures on the right, have a number of Pendraken figures in their midst.

Very nice table and great battle! but... where are the eagles ?

In my experience long table battle (short edge as the width of the battlefield) does not work... I do not know why. Maybe the flanking not work there.
