Robin Hood

Had a great solo game of Pulp Alley Robim Hood versus the Sherif of Nottingham . Robin Hoods League had Robin ,Marion, Little John ,Friar Tuck and Will Scarlett with a gang of 5 Archers the opposing League was The Sheriff with Guy of Gisbourne , Lord Essex ,Seth the Game keeper and a gang of 6 cross bow men . The game was set to last six turns and if it had lasted that number Robins Men would have easily won but cards extended the game to 8 turns allowing the Bad guys to make a last minute rally and almost steal a win but the merry men managed to pip them at the post walking away the victors . The figures are mainly Footsore but thye Crossbow men are Victrix all the buildings are Sarissa

Irish Guards Battlegroup

After our games with Pendrakens Cold War Commander we decided to try their WW2 version Blitzkreig Commander which we tried using my korean war armies and we were sold ,so we chose late war with myself doing the British . We chose army lists to start as a base for our armies ,I chose the Irish Guards Armoured Brigade for September 1944. I have now finished my basic army but with the sad news arrowhead miniatures are closing down I have ordered quite abit of stuff so I have afew options to choose from. Battle group HQ

a few test figures for Blitzkrieg commander ,these are all 12mm Victrix plastics ,painted as generic Brits or commonweath troops for late war Europe

This is SPARTA.....

Well my version of a Sparta army and no Gerald Butler or six packs in sight . The Spartans are the first faction I have painted up for Mortal Gods ,the skirmish game from Footsore miniatures . I have had the game for ages but not done anything with it but really wanted to start playing so I started on the Spartan starter set and have 2 Lochagos (leaders) Meonas the Harvester that came in the starter and a unnamed one made from a victrix sprue ,the game cards give the Lochagos different stats ,1 unit each of 9 heavy and 9 medium Hopolites ,these will be eventually backed up by a unit of 9 Kryptia ( elite Hopolites ) and some Peripoloi and Sphendonetai ( javelin and slingers ) ,this gives me more than required for a game I have also done some terrain and objectives ,and 3 special troops a Mantis (seer) a Healer and a Styrix (musician ) all of whom can effect the game in different ways , next up will be the Athenians before I expand both armies Figures are mainly Victrix ,the characters are footsore as are the shields
