Games!: Revised Battlegroup

 Our local group has fallen out of love with Battlegroup lately, but I've been adding a bunch of house rules/tweaks to bring the game a bit more interest and we played for the first time in a while this past weekend.  I forgot to take pics, but a buddy snapped a few!

A secret project is spoiled!

Well, in secret over the past five months I've been assembling and painting a new army for Famine, Sword, & Fire.  Today the target of the secret project, my buddy, was digging around in my boxes while I was gaming with another friend...when I hear "Hey, what is this?".

Fortunately the secret scheme was due to be revealed within a few weeks, so it's not a great loss.

So, with great relish I reveal my most time-intensive project thus far - Chaos Dwarfs.  All resin 3D prints, painted to my highest hobby standard (which ain't that high!).  There is a LOT more to come for this force of ancient fantasy Persians!

Games!: Famine, Sword, & Fire against more orcs!

Got in a game of FSF with a new opponent who is in the process of building a generic "evil" army.  I lost, of course.

Wargames Atlantic: Landsknecht Ogre Mercenaries!

 While I've been working on a lot of terrain and game design, I've decided to start slowly assembling a handful of mercenary units - mainly because our local game group is very light on "good guys".  While I'm not anxious to start a whole new army, building some cool mercenary units which can be farmed out (like...mercenaries!) to the good guys that my friends are building/painting is..palatable.

This box of Landsknecht Ogres from Wargames Atlantic is perfect because it provides me a unit of eight heavy infantry with a spare hero - all for just a tad over $30.  Solid.

Some games of Scrapheap, and some filthy peasants!

 Got some games of Scrapheap in earlier in the week.  As usual we made some claustrophobic 'jungle gyms of death'.





Also put together some spare models I had on hand for the start of some 'peasant mobs' for Famine, Sword, & Fire.  These are npc units that'll feature in some scenarios.  I have another box on hand to assemble and paint.

Some trivial terrain tasks...

While ordering some Battlefield in a Box buildings for use with Merciless and FSF, I picked up one more set of smaller rocks to accompany my existing rock fields and little outcroppings, etc.  Fortunately I kinda/sorta figured out how to match them to my older stuff.

Nothing too excited, and yes I'm painting...pre-painted stuff, because pre-painted is never pre-painted enough. (more rhymes will come with the times...)



As delivered in the box.
