Gripping Beast Hirdmen

Bought these the other day, partly because I have a soft spot for the Vikings program and because later this year it may well be possible to play Ragnar Lodbrok himself in Blood Eagle, a game by Charles Murton and Craig Cartmell, who produced In Her Majesty's Name.

So anyway I couldn't resist the idea of getting some Viking types especially since I could see me using them for Frostgrave or Mordheim and even possibly Kings of War. They are smashing models and a very good price.
(Sorry if this appeared last night briefly but I hit the post button rather than the save button, was tired)

KOW Event: Springs of War, the Outpost Sheffield

Yesterday, Steve, Luke, Lee and myself spent the day over at Sheffield at the Outpost gaming centre playing in a 2000 point Kings of War Tournament, very ably run by Darren Parkes.

Here are most, but not all, of the armies that took part, some lovely painting and great conversions.

Steve's Empire of Dust.

Dan Kings Herd.

My Dwarfs.

I managed a win in my first game 18 - 2

Dan King beat the living daylights out of me 2 - 18

Philip Pearson beat me with his twilight Kin 5 - 15

And I drew with Lee 10 - 10

Luke's marvelous Slayers, won best painted.

Dan Cain's Kingdoms of Men.

Apologies to Lee as I seem to have missed his great Goblin army.

Here are the results from Darren's computer.

As a group we did OK, 

Luke came 6th

Steve came 11th

I came 14th....not last

Lee came 15th

We all had a great day, the games were clocked at 45 mins, and all went fine.

Thanks again to Dareen Parkes for organising it all and to the three musketeers that came with me:

Steve, Lee and Luke.

Daxio.

WWarriors Terrain

I have for the last week been working on a piece of impassible terrain, it had been knocked about quite a bit at the club, just usual wear and tear. Paint was missing and big sections of poly were showing through.

For the last month or so I have been bringing home some of the worst bits of terrain and giving them a make over. Probably a never ending task but I like contributing to the club in a small way.
