More Pesky Humans

Finished up some big point things for the Fancy Pants.  First up some demigryphs that I'll be using as War Elephants (with invisible trunks obviously):

And a general on great winged beast which is totally not just Karl Franz:

Blood Bowl Time!

With the new release its time to start up a brand new Blood Bowl leage at the store!  As such we needed a demo that would be particularly manly!

I present the Cuddle Crushers:

And to face the the Fancy Pants Parade:

Finally since I'm a Kings of War fanatic I'm working on combining the old Mighty Empires campaign into KoW so I've been working on adding more tiles in and magnetizing an entire set of mighty empires.  This may take some time....

I still need more tiles if we are to bump it up to 4 players so I'll have to grab another copy of Catan to butcher!

Fancy Pants Brigade Milestone!

The Fancy Pants Brigade has reached 1500 points!  Here's the new additions:


First up some heroes:

I plan on running this as a KoW Historicals master list for the most part so cheap rally(2) musicians are a must!

Add in the double gandalf and there's no way they can loses especially with all of those fancy hats.

One big horde of warriors from empire soldiers that have been lying around and a few new ones to plug the holes.

These knights from battle masters needed a makeover and ended up looking pretty decent if I do say so.

And since there's a wide selection of mythical units why not add a giant in.  Did a few changes to the paint job on this model to make it fit in with the new army a little more.

Something Old, Something Blue?

As always no army is ever even close to complete.  I've added the old Ariel model from the wood elves as a beautifully creepy planar apparition for my Night Stalkers.  The beholder I was using to fill this slot will now be a much more fitting extra Void Lurker.

And an old piece of GW terrain (though recently re-released?) with some demon cultists on top as an abysaal well of souls.  This thing managed to barely fit in the storage box after magnetizing the cultists on top!

The humans have been officially named the Fancy Pants Militia and are nearly ready for battle so pics are soon to come...

Holiday Massacre Conclusion

Whew been a bit!  Things have been hectic but here's the write up of the end of the holiday battle!

Turn 4

The ghosts and Ice Golem tag teamed the Treat Takers as the enraged Santa moved on Dracula to avenge his fallen reindeer.   Meanwhile the gift Golem continued its doomed march toward the back lines.

With a mighty ho ho ho Santa smote Dracula while the tag team gave the Treat Takers a final 'treat'.  Unfortunately this mean opening up Santa's flanks to either the pumpkin king or The Monster, neither a good choice.

The elves continued to fight of the scarecrow on the far flank and as expected the holiday cannon fails to save the day by landing any solid hits.

Halloween now had victory within their grasp even after the hard losses early on.  The nightmare engine, Pumpkin king AND the Monster all charged Santa of Claus.  With their combined might the jolly overlord would finally fall.

Meanwhile the ghost pirates fired their ghastly cannon back at the happy holiday cannon causing minimal damage but demonstrating their superior ability to actually hit something!

Turn 5

The Xmas army had lost their leader but fought on in a desperate defense of their holiday.  The Ice Golem went in against the monster while the Ghosts decided to pick a fight with the nightmare engine.  Neither could make any worthwhile headway and simply bounced off their opponents to prepare for the counter charge.

The elves, ever stalwart, continued to fight a losing battle against the scarecrow.

Halloween's forces, with renewed vigour, easily wiped out the Ghosts of Xmas Whenever but the ice golem held firm.  The nightmare engine decided that the cannon proved a more tasty target should a 7th turn be on the menu.

The scarecrow finally rolled average and did enough damage to end up routing the elves.

With too little xmas spirit remaining Santa's forces gave up the tinsel and surrendered.  Halloween would now come twice a year!
