Painting Update - Terrain

 Hello Folks,

Another bit of painting done, this time a terrain set, Land of Giants from Archon Studios.




Nothing crazy, just some broken statues and bits, some arches, and a gazebo? Big Stone head with the vulture is neat.

Basically a quick bit of terrain. 


Bought: 73

Painted: 71

Total: 2



Thanks;

Mike

Battle Report - Force on Force

 Hello Folks,

Time fir another battle report. Playing a test game of Force on Force to see how it works as a cops and robbers game.

I used some Gotham police, and Ducan used walking dead survivors as bad guys.


Set up a town with the different bits of terrain we had and a city mat. Bad guys in the blue hotel with the loot, cops coming in to get it back.


Taking cover and starting some shoot outs.


Teams advancing up using cars as cover, keeping fire on the bad guys.


Detective scopes out the hideout.


Mercenary type cops charge in and arrest the wounded and pinned down baddies.


Converging on the main hotel from 2 directions.


Big battle at the hotel, kind of a drawn out fight with many people wounded, ends up with technically the cops winning. 

Gotham police dlnt mess about!



In the end it worked pretty good. Small teams seemed fine, maybe the morale table and a few other things can be tweaked. We also played at 28mm and didn't change any ranges which also felt fine.


Thanks;

Mike

Battle Report - Warhammer Fantasy

 Hello Folks;

Today was another Warhammer Fantasy day at Fandom, had a bunch of people turn out thus time.

I played a game against some orcs and Goblins with the lizards.



Ready for battle, the Orcs have a huge unit of boar boys, with some supports. Big unit if boys and a giant on one side, woods and snotlings on the other. My plan ti softer up the bears with salamanders and hope my unit holds.



Sarus cav beat the orcs, but roll trip 1s for pursuit, sad times. The salmandersdl doing ok damage but nothing crazy.


Boars advance, giant foanks the cav. But somehow manages to loose and roll double 6 on his break test and gets pursued off the board 


Cav cone back and I keep chipping at the boars. My terradons charge the wolf riders but some hiw manage to loose.


Boars and chariots massacre my sarus.


Reposition for another fight.


The Boars roll animosity and it leaves them stuck with their flank hanging for the sarus Spearman. That goes poorly as you'd imagine.

Next turn the fail to rally and flee. Sometimes in warhammer the duce decide you loose now, just how it goes. With their back broken the orcs capitulate.


Few shits of the other games:




Zombie pirates vs goblins!

4 player game euth double high elves vs tomb kings and empire 


But of classic battle tech action

Thanks;
Mike

Painting Update - Star Wars and WFB

Time for a painting update. Been awhile so got a bit done.


Sarus Warriors:


Getting things going I did some reinforcements for the Lizardmen. A big unit of Sarus Warriors with spears.

Salmander:


Some lizard Artillery to spit fire on their enemies. This was a fine cast kit so pretty annoying and a bit messed up but turned out OK.

Magna Guard:

Over to Staw Wars, some elites to guard grevious.

Land of the Giants:


Finally started wiring on some fantasy terrain that came in from kickstarter. Archon studios making some really great plastic kits.


Anyway thats all for now.
