Usk 2015 results

Woot!

We got third!

Bringing a mass mounted army to what we found to be a heavy foot comp might not be the best idea.....

We did a fair bit of dancing around while the artillery started shelling anything it could.

One of the highlights was the final game between Simon and Simon where we broke a large veil and a tercio with just artillery fire!  We still lost the game 8-12, but it was just enough to get us third.

Game 1 was vs Stephen Stead and his very tough Huguenot French , 10-10 draw
Game 2 was vs Joe and Geoff and their 22 battle group Ming Chinese, 16-4 win
Game 3 was vs Chis Ager and his Ottomans, 23-2 win.
Game 4 was vs Simon and Simon and their Imperial Austrians, 8 - 12 lost.

25mm FoGR first units

Got to sit down over the Xmas break and do some painting.

These are my first 25mm FoGR figures.  Just need to do the matt varnish and flocking

I've got enough spare figures that I'll be able to add an additional base for each unit so that I can morph the army into a Swede army.

Xmas present

My xmas present just arrived from 15mm.co.uk

Mmm, 15mm scifi terrain

This is what inspired me to get this

I'm looking forward to painting these up and getting them onto the table.  I reckon a few xenomorphs will look really good stalking some marines around this terrain
