Siege of Augusta, FSF and more FSF!

This year I almost didn't attend Siege of Augusta (a wargaming convention in...shock...Augusta, Georgia). I decided to attend last minute, so I didn't schedule a table, etc.

I showed up and was able to set up my dungeon crawl in the hall outside which turned out to be great (less noise, smell and heat!).  I only ran three games before calling it a night.

The next day I decided not to run demos of Famine, Sword, & Fire..as it really is a bit too much for a convention game.  Instead I played a few games with my friends and had a good time (also managing to sneak into a side room - even lesssss noise, etc.!).  Thanks to the guys running the ADLG tournament!

I only took a few pictures, but snagged some from my friends.

And then some games of FSF...

 

 

Following this, my buddies did a game of FSF the following day when I returned home. A game in which my buddy's rapidly expanding Bretonnian army demolished an Orc raiding party along the Black Peninsula.

Also including some army pictures we took of his Bretonnian force. 

Random Reaper Wizard

I enjoyed painting up this Wizard mini from Reaper today.  I'll be using him in Famine, Sword, & Fire along with some other skirmish games.  Unfortunately he's slightly large (he'd be a solid 7'!).

It's nice to sit and paint up a simple, whimsical mini in around an hour.

Mercenary Characters

Managed to assemble a last sprue of Northman cavalry combining left-over bits with a buddy who also had some leftover horses.  This allowed me to assemble a cavalry commander, another courier, and a minor mounted hero ('il bastardo grigio'!).

I was hoping to finish another infantry unit before Siege of Augusta next weekend, but it's not looking likely, particularly with the local weather.

Getting 2025 started...

Getting 2025 started with a volley gun artillery piece and a kind of kit-bashed Araby wizard for my mercenaries, and a couple quick heroes for the Hobgoblins.
