Naming Mercenary Companies for Warhammer

Just recruited and named some mercenary companies that will be used in a Warhammer Fluff game using Dragon Rampant rules. These Tilean (Italian) units have been recruited under the well known mercenary Commander Frangazinni, for a short campaign in Estalia (Spain).

Most Noble, only in that they come from aristocratic families. Famed for their debauchery and arrogance.

Vito often recruits in the Empire.

The pikes hold the enemy at bay while the mighty Fredo cuts them down.

Street urchins adopted and trained by Madame Petrocelli, out earning gold coin for their benefactor.

Brutal but efficient

Bastard sons out making a name.

Trying out Pikeman's Lament



Yesterday, Glenn and I tried out Pikeman's Lament at Discover Games. 40 points each. There quite a few subtle differences between it and Lion Rampant. Good and Bad things happen if you roll 2 or 12 to activate a uni. There are three types of cavalry, Trotters, Gallopers and Dragoons, all with their perks and drawbacks.This is defiantly a shooting game and artillery can lay a pounding. But Pikes and Forlorn Hopes can be very nasty! There is a also a loose campaign system that follows your force commander. Two thumbs up from me and Glenn.

More Alpha Strike, Battalions clash over Tri City Area

Alpha Strike, the game of Mech Battalion action! A few pics of last nights game with Eli, Rob and Pat. Laio vs Davion for control of the Tri-City region. A total of 92 Mechs and vehicles. Bloody game indeed what with the introduction of some light artillery support. A hard fought draw, thanks to Rob's vehicles clearing the mechs out of the center town. A shout out to Rob, who's subtle tweaks has made this one hell of a game! Next week Clan Slaughter!

Toying with Chaos

Been reading some of the Guant's Ghosts novels by Dan Abnett really enjoying them, so just for fun I decided to paint up some Chaos Imperial Guards kinda like the Blood Pact in the books.
