Festival of Fester

 

Pretty much finished my Carnival of Chaos, Circus of Corruption warband. Seems like a decent enough memento of the great plague of 2020-21. I like the theme and scheme of the army, but it still doesn't really make a decent Saga:AoM warband. I feel like I need a flying Sorcerer and a Scourge (Flying) to round it out, so will be on the lookout for suitable models.

Xenos Rampant AAR

The games of Xenos Rampant I played with my 28mm guys didn't really feel right in terms of firing ranges, and also I was a few figures short of a decent turnout. So, I thought I'd have a go in 15mm keeping all the distances the same. This felt better, but after a couple of games I have decided that it doesn't really work. Shooting seemed too deadly, and there was almost no hand to hand fighting. This would have been helped by more dense terrain, but if a game needs to have extreme terrain set-up in order to work, then it's probably not doing the job.

So I will be looking for some decent 15mm sci-fi rules, and probably painting some more minis for them. I have Stargrunt II so will try that next.

  

Dragon Rampant: Brets

Here's my Bret warband for  Dragon Rampant. I decided to make a Pegasus rider the top unit in this warband, if only to take a look at the Flying rules.

Dragon Rampant: Goblins

So the long-awaited Dragon Rampant has finally arrived, just in time for xmas. Here's a Goblin list. I decided to make a spellcaster the centrepiece of my warband in order try out the new spell list. The standard warband size is supposed to be 24 points, but with all the fantasy-style power ups available, Lion Rampant size warbands will probably cost a bit more than that. But I had so much I wanted to try out that I ended up with 42 points.

Wizard, Hvy Foot, Spellcaster                            8

Chariots, Hvy Riders, Missiles, Chariot             7

Trolls*2, Elite Foot,                                              12

Wolfriders*2, Light Riders,                                8

Archers, Light Missiles,                                       4

Spears, Light Foot,                                               3
