Next troop type for the Lizardman army - Salamanders



These are the now OOP GW warmaster figures - and very nice they are too - with no-one producing anything similar since their demise.

They have painted up very quickly - this is less than an hour's work this evening, washed with dark brown, inside of the sails picked out with dark red, with a touch of purple, then I have made a start on the ribs of the sails with bright orange - this is the fiddliest bit, so I have stopped half way through.

They look sponking! Shane you couldn't find the tartan paint, it would have gone lovely as sail colours

Oooo !...I like those !
What a vibrant red ! (Or would you call that vermilion ?)

Nice work fella!

We were able to get together for an all day game yesterday - Fantasy, Elves vs Chaos and Sauron armies

Got a couple of figures on the table, mainly GW Warmaster, but quite a few others (including some Pendraken)

The evil forces mass against the Elven line


Overhead shots towards the end.

Eye eye...
Any shots of the Dark Lord?

If Leon was playing?

Lovely looking game.

Well jel!

Awesome looking game.

It was a great looking game - showed off 10mm to its best, hordes of troops on the table, and units that look like regiments with loads of spear points bristling in the air.

On my side of the game, it was quite too and fro, with my Cavalry advancing against the lighter Sauron cav, and causing some destruction. But I became rather over-extended and the Sauron players were able to re-direct their second brigade of light cavalry and flyers, and got in some significant flank charges with their giant bats.

In the middle the goblin hordes were chopped up by the elves, but where causing enough attrition to cause problems.

On the other flank the mass ranks of Elven bowmen just shot the Chaos forces to pieces.

Well done the forces of right and progress, I'm sure it was just a learning exercise and you'll beat the feudal Elvish-oligarchic fascists next time
