Some of my buildings

So I broke out some of my buildings today to get an idea of what I have.
Here's some photos.
















I write more about the photos over on LAF in my Gothic Horror thread.

A Fun Days Gaming With Crap Photos.

I made the trip to Game Kastle in Santa Clara today for a few games with Kitrok.

We had a good time. We played a mythos game (agents vs. cultist) and a swashbuckler game using my GW Mordheim figures.  The shop was really busy as there was a Warhammer 40k tournament going on and everybody had their new 6th Edition rules.

I was distracted by all of the hub bub. Plus, several folks came up and asked a lot of questions about what we were playing, which is a good thing.  So I forgot to take pictures, and the ones I did take were generally out of focus crap, which is a bad thing.

We played the Treasure Hunt scenario both times with Objective markers.






In the mythos game, Kitrok and I both managed to collect 2 objectives each. The last objective was on top of an old ruin in the center of the board. It was too well guarded by both sides for either of us to snatch it. I eventually won the game when Kitrok failed a bottle test. Still, it was a pretty neck and neck game.



Sadly. this is the only photo of the second game. I pretty much mopped up the floor with Kitrok on this one.

LAM VSF Ottomans WIP

So here's a WIP shot of my LAM VSF Ottoman's. Progress has been very slow going.

Just some touch ups and bases to finish on them.  I have also included a slightly better group shot of the LAM minis I have already completed.

More Fantasy Figures

Here's a few more Fantasy Figures I painted a few years ago. Some of them were used in the last Bat Rep.

Old Lead

These are some (Alternative Armies?) figures I found in a shoebox about a year ago.
I quickly painted them up soon after I found them. Not the greatest figures, or paint jobs, but they were essentially free since I forgot I even owned them!

Fantasy Bat Rep 07/01/2012!

Wee Aggro and I managed to get a game in today.

Wee Aggro decided he wanted to play something different than Post Apoc and opted for a Fantasy game.

The Objectives that Wee Aggro and I completely ignored.

Top down view of the board. My forces are at the bottom of the pic. Wee Aggro's are at the top. I'm really enjoying the 36 X 36 board for skirmish games. With a smaller board, the action starts up right away.

Starting Positions

Yes, even more starting positions.

Things looked really crappy for me right off the bat. Wee Aggro won initiative, made an insane detect roll to spot my Wizard, then an insane to hit roll, followed by an insane damage roll. This resulted in the instant death of my second most powerful model in the first activation! What was I just saying about the action starting up right away?

I moved a model forward and Wee Aggro managed to wound him with one of his marksmen.

Wee Aggro moving in for the kill.

I managed to get some revenge and shot the dirty rat that killed my wizard.  I wounded him and he failed his morale test. He subsequently ran off the board by the end of turn 2. 

In turn 2, Wee Aggro charged his noxious priest forward and brained one of my marksmen .

Crappy photo but this was pretty cool. I charged one of my Warriors and killed  Aggro's Priest. I used my bonus action to get away from him: however, the toxic fumes managed to kill the fighter anyways.

Things heated up in the middle of the board. I charged my leader into close combat with a rat already engaged with one of my fighters. I wounded it but failed to kill it. Wee Aggro responded by charging his leader into combat with my leader and killing him! Another really lucky roll!

I managed to get a flanking fighter into close combat with Wee Aggro's rat armed with a nasty area effect weapon. Suddenly I started rolling well and killed it ending turn 2.

My fighter, now consumed with blood lust managed to charge one of Wee Aggro's Marksmen killing it as well. 

This fighter held out in the center of the board for a while, but was eventually cut down by Wee Aggro's encroaching forces.

This marksman managed to kill a rat man that had wounded him with a throwing disk.

At the end of turn 3, no one had collected any objectives. I had two marksmen and a fighter left however, they were all wounded. Wee Aggro had his leader and one of his fighters left. I was ahead on kills; however, I managed to fail my bottle test at the start of turn 4 which resulted in a tied game! Had one of us bothered to collect even one objective we would have one!

Wee Aggro and I still had a really good time. We'll probably use these same models again next time we game.

The Antagonists, Sets 1 and 2

Here are two of the elusive Antagonists sets from West Wind / Old Glory.
They are pretty cool miniatures. Revisiting them makes me want to purchase the other sets.
