Unleash the Beast. 2000 point WHF battle report

"MERDE!!"

With Phil and Lano in Brighton throwing down in a Warmachine tournament Lee and I decided to meet up at our favourate alternate wargaming venue, Ilford Wargaming club.

Seeing as this was not officially part of the 'Summer offensive' I decided to give my Beastman army a run out.

This is actually the third army I have in the campaign. It is currently sitting on the Vampire kingdom's border but I have not had the courage to field it . . . . .until now!

Silver Tower; Trail of Ulgu

"EAT RIGHTOUS FURY SCUTTLINGS!!!!!!!!"

With the heat just being unrelenting in London at the moment the lad and I just wanted to sit there and sweat.

Then we decided we might as well play 'Silver Tower' while we were sitting there!

The battle of the bulge. . . . Warhammer fantasy style.

With Lano's Wood Elves rampaging through my territories in our summer campaign I was forced to confront him in order to stop the rot.

I was also worried about the other generals following Macca's example and making a land grab on my divided kingdom!!

For this reason I found my General mustering his forces against the feared Elves!

Mad Maegrim of the 'Chosen Axes', the first of my summer random miniatures

So here is Mad Maegrim the first of what I think is going to be a string of painting with no rhyme of reason.

This is a 'Fyre Slayer' from the 'Chosen Axes' Shadespire set.

Another quick and easy paint scheme to help me get my eye in after a 7 month painting break.

I even used . . . . GASP!!  . . . . . some dry brushing!!!!!!

I know the shame. Please don't tell Lano!

In other news Tim and I managed to squeeze in TWO games of Scythe last night in under 3 hours!!

Played the first games as the 'Swedes' and the second games as the 'Japanese'. Some how managed to win with both games!!

BOLY 2018 prep. Legends of the Old West, Largo

With Bring out your lead only 16 days away (and counting) I decided to blog my preperation so far.

I posted on the Oldhammer forum about hosting a game but as I'm not one of the 'big hitters' I did not really expect a response. So imagine my surprise when several people showed an interest!!

With that in mind I decided to construct Largo just to see where I was. . . . .

Miracles do happen . . . . I've painted something!!!!!

"I AM PAINTED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

With the finish of the world cup Sunday and my 'Fallout shelter' at 200 thriving settlers and all the quests nearly completed I found my self once again picking up the brushes!

I picked this out of the lead pile for no other reason then it has always been one of my favourates.

Kept it quick and easy but it's good to break my duck and more painting could be on the cards!

"It's good to be back!" (pun intended)

Never turn your back on a Vampire. 2000 point WHF battle

This Sunday I arrived at Lano's to a bit of a surprise.  . . . . . . . A vampire army sitting in my territory!

Silver Tower; Trail of Ghur

This last weekend the lad and I sat down to play the third quest in our ongoing search for an escape from the 'Silver Tower'.

We had a lovely surprise when the wife plonked herself down and asked us if she could join the party.

I rushed up stairs and pulled out 'Slayonce' as her proxy for the Fyreslayer.
