So took my MidWar Soviet Mixed Tankovy Battalon along to Newbury Colours.
The organiser turned up late leaving 24 gamers catching the breeze.
We get going by 10am and my first game was Encounter verses a British 1st Army
Infantry Company

He had
3 x Rifle Platoons (1 with attached Piat)
1 x Churchill Tanks (3 tanks)
1 x Royal Artillery (8 Guns) Battery 25pdrs
1 x Medium Artillery (8 Guns) Battery 5.5"

He deployed his Artillery and one rifle platoon, I deployed my rocket launchers and the KV-1e tanks
He spent four turns failing to range or hurt my KVs, so I decided to steam forward and roll over his artillery - managed to kill 3 medium guns (didn't know they had 32" range!!!)
Then on his 5th turn he got his Churchills which stopped my attack on the objective, but he also dropped all his artillery on them and destroyed 3 and bailed 1 - I then failed my morale and lose the platoon, meanwhile his infantry have moved to assault my rocket launchers on the other objective.
My turn 5...

Done some modelling this evening....

3 of the Dwarf characters from the War Counsel set (Warsmith, Berserker Lord, Army Standard Bearer)


3 of the Undead characters from the Cabal set (Necromancer, Revenant King, Army Standard Bearer)


Mhorgoth the Faceless


And assembled (but didn't clean) the legs for a unit of 20 Ghouls


Previously I also assembled the Omens of Death set (Balefire Catapult and a unit of 20 Skeletons)

I thought a blog would help me keep on top of my project!

Howdy guys, building/painting has been fairly show this past month. Lot of real world stuff been taking up my time.

But I finially got my Super Heavy Fellblade tank finished. Well.... I still have to varnish it, but the weather is not co-operating at the moment. But other than that it is done.







The tracks I haven't painted quite the same as previous models, but that is because I ran out of some...

So back here started the 2011 1st Quarter Hobby Challenge. Unfortunately, as Stormwing needed a lot of work, including use of two-part epoxy and green stuffing, I didn't quite finish him, so I failed the challenge

Got the rest done: 2x 10 Swordmasters, 2x10 Sea Guard, 2x5 Reavers, Prince Althran on foot and on Griffon, Caladris, and 10 Horrors and the Changeling.


My Q2 challenge is currently being decided here
