"Right chips! Mission is jolly simple, get in, snatch the objectives, get out." "Sir?" "Yes Sergent?" ""What objectives?" 'Well, lads, the Colonel has quite taken by the local antique furniture, he wants a set for his holiday home!" "Ohhh. Siiiiiiiiiiir!" I brought my Kindred, but forgot Snoopy , who would have been really useful for this scenario. Mort suggested we played 27 points. I brought that, I hope he did too. My infantry was upgraded to Heavy Infantry, two with anti-tank, one without, all with heavy weapons, Fray Bentos the Tank was back, as well as the Vickers HMG team. Mort brought his Tau, two large units of heavy infantry with heavy weapons. a unit of drones - lesser Xenos upgraded for shooting, and a walker/tank. One of the objectives Nice table A chair sitting proud in ruins. Two more bits sat on hills waiting for new owners.   The Vickers heavy weapons team heads into the squeltch to give fire support,...

More 28m bits for Phil, He will do the basing afterwards actually, he messaged me to say he had started this.  Perry Field Forge fixing up 6th Hussars Top view Hot work Just get it's foot up! The forge isn't fixed yet, so Scarlet can sort them out after. It's a fun set. Two sets of French artillery crew. Yeah, the bases weren't white, don't know why they show up like that. Busy boys Ready for action Back to bright bases Civilians Another fun set to do. Back view, I tried to do pink patterns on the mum Gawping on Phil asked me to do some 28mm Perry characters for him. So here they are. Pontooneers, Wagoneers and extra characters from the 'Dualists' set. Top view; Phil will do his own basing to fit his troops in his collection. Did sneak Bowie onto the barrel though! Lots of fun

Been a while since we dusted these off... As usual with Xenos Rampant, the game was high paced and I did not take enough photos, sorry! Decided to take my Kindred , as I haven't used them yet . What are Kindred? Think late WW1 era British infantry, but actually Halflings, with laser rifles, lewis guns, and bare feet, with putees! These are actially my MkII Kindred, as the original Kindred went to someone else alongwith my Grymm and other sci-fi stuff, but, I have no idea who. Kindred : 3 x Light Infantry with Armour Piercing and 2 with Heavy Weapons 1 x Support with Armour Piercing and Heavy Weapons (Vickers HMG team) 1 x Armoured vehicle (MkIV tank) with armour piercing and slow Mark brought his werewolf backed Weird War WW2 Germans , 2 x Greater Xenos with Razor Sharp Blades 1 x Elite Infantry (HQ) 1 x Heavy Infantry 1 x Recon Infantry with sniper upgrade. Dave brought something Blue from Warmachine (henceforth refered to as Cool Blue Meanies) . 4 x lesser Xenos with razor sh...

Footsore recently released this rather fun game, based around 28mm skirmish fighting in ancient Greece. Tried it at Campaign, then got a set for my birthday from Manny and Rob at Boards and Swords . This month's batch of Mortal God's figures, some new, some old. Athenians - bought when the rules first came out in 2019, just after doing evveryone elses's stuff, I had lost the mojo to do these, plus my Thespians have been serving me well. But, with the great shed tidy, and continued popularity amoung my friends, it was about time. The Athenian set had lead heroes, and plastic hoplites/peripoli, but I decide that I can use any of my other hopilites to fill in for the citizens, and that actaully, I sould get on with the lead. Athenian Marine hoplites - regular state troops, as opposed to my irregular Thespians Top down With Athenian shields from the boxed set Ready to go Regular, armoured, marine archers "Hit that one!" "No, that one!...
