Get the Loot - Fallmouth Hills

The FoL:WW game was a lot of fun. We had 6 players, and a small board, so I could get them to engagement quicker. Well they got engaged, but not as much with each other as with the environment. Remember, in the wastes, the environment is just as deadly.

The scenaior was simple: Sticky Earl, the prospector, got drunk in town and let it slip he had been looting some good stuff up in Fallmouth Hills. He expected a continued treasure trove of goodness to come out of there. Well, when the rest of the saloon heard what he said, they all decided to get there crews together to get what they could before Ol Sticky Earl could back up there.

So, a simple search and loot scenario, with loot having a value, and so does getting rid of the other gangs, or dealing with the environment. Everytime you came to a terrain feature or item, you could search. We developed the Loot/Event Deck to turn over to see what happens. It worked well. and one player had so much to search and so meany encounters, he never got out of a 12" by 12" area, and almost won the game.

Here's pics of the game.

Nice to get this phase of the post apoc stuff done for now. Habve some more buildings to paint, but gonna put those on the back burner for now.

I didn't get much this year at the convention, toy wise. I was very focused on what I was looking for, and seeing none I didn't really get anything except a couple of great things.

first, I got a beautifully painted 15mm ECW army by the Baron for a couple of blisters form Recreational Conflict. I now have a little interest in adding some to them to do a pocket version(almost) of Black Powder.

second, I got a couple of MicroPanzers Mechs, to go with my 15mm Aquan Army.

Since the Workshop of Doom is in a total mess, I decided to do a reorganization and a thorough cleaning before I started anything else. But once complete, I've kinda had Epic Space Marine on the brain this last month, afetr trading a bunch of my Battlefront stuff for some nicely painted Marines and Squats. Also, I would like to add about 20 archers to my Viking Horde. And I would like to start rebasing in earnest, the 15mm Napoleonics. and Blasphemy, I feel an odd itch in my brain to paint and acquire some new 28mm space Marines for In the Emperors Name, or FAD. Let's just see what happens.

Saga

So the Sagas.

My 15 year olds Ogre Kingdoms Army sits on our big painting table where he, and my 8 and 6 year old paint figs, and I usually do assembly work and help them with questions and techniques.

As I was assembling my viking warband, I looked at his Ogres and thought about doing a Viking fantasy saga campaign.

Vikings, Ogres, trolls, goblinoids, dwarves, etc. snow covered battlefields, viking gods interfering, etc.

I don't know enough about the viking sagas, but thats what the internet is for.

Nappies, and other stuff

Well, continued phase I Nappies over the weekend. satred on the arty for Phase I and II.

I have pants done, jackets base painted and flesh base painted and inked on 3 foot arty units and 3 horse arty units for the Brits.

The cannons mock me. But little do they know how quickly they will get painted.

After that the Hvy Dragoons and some command stands.

I plan on finishing Phase I end of Nov, first of Dec, while my wife plays the new WoW expansion. So I can check someting off the list.

I need to take pics of my WiP. I am terrible about that.

I also have about 3/4 of the Vikings cleaned, based and ground.

Ground is short for applying basing paste or other flocking, sand etc prior to priming so the basing is almost done when you complete the figs. I only do this for individually based figs. Baron Von Jaye turned me on to Resin Sand from Liquitex. Its a paste that dries clear but hase some sand texture to it. Perfect for that first base coat prior to leaves, grass, rocks, etc.
