We didn't use any of the scenarios from the book - basically played a straight up fight to the death. The only "Fantastical" rule used by the Men of the West warband was the Earl's "Flying" trait - which is really cool for jumping over obstacles - including Attacks.
The Orcabusier warband had two Elite Foot units with missiles, which made the Men of West wary of getting within their missile range.
Men of the Pacific NW archers bravely take on Orcabusier Elite Riders (I know what are they riding?!) |
After the archers retreat, the Heroes charge into the Orcabusiers - taking them out after they failed their Courage test. |
Lancers wisely staying out of enemy bow range - no they are not hiding! |
Warband leader vs. warband leader (both Elite Riders) - round 1 |
The remnants of the Lancer unit advancing on the Orcabusiers - I kept forgetting I paid for Mounted Missiles. |
Men of Pacific NW leader taking on some of the Orcabusier leader's henchmen. See him hiding after retreating from his lost round of combat. |
Lancers trying to finish off the Orcabusier leader - which they eventually did. |
Man, that dude on the left looks so much like Karl Franz! |
Men of the Pacific NW Heroes mounted on demigryphs take on Elite Foot Infantry (they must've been recruited by the Orcabusiers). |
I do enjoy the pictures; great figures and terrific terrain.
ReplyDeleteThank you kindly, Jonathan! We had a great time. Warm regards, Dean
DeleteBeautiful~!
ReplyDeleteGame table, terrain and miniatures!
Thank you very much, Michal! It was great to get a Dragon Rampant game on. Best, Dean
DeleteIt looks likes superb fun Dean.
ReplyDeleteIt really was, Michael. Dragon Rampant is a great way to get old figures on the table again. Warm regards, Dean
DeleteFantastic! Looks like a great game!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Tim! As you know, Dragon Rampant is a nice set of rules - one which I can paint up a figure here and there on a whim and then get to use them in a game. Warmest Regards, Dean
DeleteIndeed, I love the flexibility of it - it reminds me a bit of Hordes of the Things that way - except without the stringent basing requirements!
DeleteMy kids' friend that we've been playing 40K with just started picking up and painting some Age of Sigmar fantasy miniatures - I have a feeling I'm going to be introducing him to Dragon Rampant soon (as I have no interest in playing AoS!).
That would be a great way to have him use those figures!
DeleteGreat table, figures and game 8)
ReplyDeleteThank you very much! Regards, Dean
DeleteNice center piece for your army, table setup, and it reminded me alot of Warhammer Fantasy. Looks like fun. But.... I am not going to start another project;)

Thanks a lot, Kevin. Yes, it seems to me a great way to use WHFB models in a much more free flowing format. Warm regards, Dean
DeleteA beautiful fight. Terraine and figurines are very beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot, Dmitry! Warm regards, Dean
DeleteGreat looking game Dean!
ReplyDeleteThank you kindly! Best regards, Dean
DeleteExcellent game. It sounds like a lot of fun and worth a trip from Silverdale any day.
ReplyDeleteThanks, David. Yes, it was very nice chatting with Ron during and after the game. He's another "fan" of the Wars of the Roses :) Warmest regards, Dean.
DeleteLooks like loads of fun and good looking figures too!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Thanks, Iain. Yes, a nice way to get figures that have been collecting dust for several years. I could see playing this with 100pt warbands! :) Best regards, Dean
DeleteA really wonderful looking game Dean!

Thank you very much, Christopher. There's a local "tournament" in a few months - gotta get some practice in. I just don't want to be dead last in the placings :) Regards, Dean
