DARK AGES BATTLE - FRIDAY'S WARGAME

 

On Friday we played the next game in the dark ages campaign we are playing. This was a battle between Robert and Percy two Lords in the campaign who have been waging war against each other since the campaign began. The figures were 28mm - a mix of brands, the rules are homegrown. Here are some photos from the game. Above is the battlefield.

Mother Muggles farm was a feature of the battlefield - don't touch her sheep or chickens.

The armies line up on both sides of the table.

Movement begins.

Combat starts with an attack on the flank of Percy's army.

While fighting rages on the far flank the rest of both armies continue to move towards each other.

Fighting begins in the center of the line.

Percy (John) moves his brave lads forward.

In the center of the battle the fight is fierce around Robert and his personal standard.

The Gods laugh at the foolishness of humanity.

 

Robert is slain and his personal banner captured.

Robert's army flees the field.

Percy gathers his banners in the sacred stone circle at the end of the battle - amongst the banners is the captured personal skull standard of Robert.

LATEST PAINTED MINIS - THOR, HERCULES AND SKULL STANDARD

I have been steadily working through my pile of lead and painted these three minis recently. The first is a Gripping Beast mini holding a GW Warhammer skull standard. This figure will play a role in the ongoing Dark Ages campaign we are playing. The skull standard is a feature of one of the Warlords in the campaign. I think that the combination of the GW standard and GB mini works well.

This is a Reaper mini of the Mighty Thor. A nice imposing mini that captures Thor's persona well.

Another Reaper mini - this one of Hercules. A good stand alone mini who can play the role of a champion in our campaign.

All three minis together.
