Dragon Rampant in the Old World

I've been using some of my old Warhammer collection to play Dragon Rampant. 

My collection doesn't really fit the six and twelve units sizes very well but it finally dawned on me that I could put whatever I like on a unit tray. I don't even need to clart about with figure removal if I use markers for losses.

A revelation.

Here's a few pics, some gameplay, others posed...






I had a canny little game, here is the Empire's Valiant Hero routing the Orc Boss.

And the Orc Shaman "Buggalugz" fails his Courage test.

A tough day for the Orcs!. Glory for the Empire!.

Lion Rampant in 15mm

 I have a small collection of Mikes Models and Peter Laing 15mm Medievals from way back. I bought them to use with Bill Lamming's Medieval rules. I liked the campaign rules but the battle rules involved tracking wounds on individual soldiers which put me right off.

The toys are an eclectic mix spread over the Middle Ages, they were bought sight unseen but my 17 year old self didn't care too much about historical accuracy.

They were organised in units of 10 which doesn't fit the 6's and 12's of the Rampant series of rules. Now I have used 4's and 8's before  but it only just dawned on me that I could use 5's and 10's and get the little blighters on the table with wee bit of painting and rebasing.

I also have a smattering of fantasy toys either in or near enough 15mm so they were added to the pot in order to have some games of Lion/Dragon Rampant with these long neglected models.

The games are based around the bitter rivalry between the Baron Oliver de Norville and the Baron of Castle Dunfannion, the redoubtable Conn Dubhmore.

I made a map for the setting, it has no effect on the game but was fun to make.

Pictures and reports of some games will follow soon, it should be fun...

Dragon Rampant - action in Middle Earth.

I had a couple of games of Daniel Merseys Dragon Rampant this week. Based on his Lion Rampant Medieval rules they give a good game.

 Aragorn faces a Reaper Demon.
 A Ringwraith leads the baddies.
 The Rohirrim.
 Men of Gondor advance in support of Aragorn.
 Some very old Medievals making up the numbers.
 Mirkwood spiders. I don't like spiders!.
And Mordor Orcs. I statted these as light foot and made them fearful which made them suitably brittle.

A good set of rules with vast potential.
