ADLG Communal Italians off to Burton 2019

Andy and I are teaming up for Badcon in Burton upon Trent.

The competition period is 300 points any book 1251—1500AD

So, we've decided to go for something fun but with a lot of options.

We've gone for Papal Communal Italian.

Andy is our master of puns and come up with the general names

Army is lead by Pope Giltiparti

The knight command is lead by Eduardo Crilli

Alberto Bertorelli will be leading the 2nd foot command

Tanquard de Limoncello will be leading the foot assault command.

The Runners & Riders

Lots of scary armies, so, let's see how well we go.

I am Ashurbanipal king of the world, king of Assyria

Now for something different!

I went to the British Museum to see their special event on Assyria.

I don't know much detail about the pre biblical period so it was a great starter into this incredible period.

To give colour to these objects, the museum used a projector.
