15mm Lurkio Skythians for Hammy

"Tonight on the Great Leighton Buzzard Bake Off, it's Skythian week."

By pure coincidence, both Paul 'Dracostandard' Cummins and I have been painting Lurkio Skythians. While I am absolutely sure his efforts will knock mine into a cocked hat, here is my presentation to the judges.

Hammy will base these himself, after I deliver them this weekend.

The whole batch. 

Heavy cavalry
 
Lurkio does a good mix of characters.

Horse archers (with a couple of heavies mixed in, as I was running out of sticks)

Commanders and standards.


A view I am unlikely to see, Hammy's generals retreating!

For those of you who read morse, I hid Hammy's name on some of the shields...

Blizkeig Commander IV - Hasty Assault

Mark and Stephen took my British at 1750 points, with effectively the same lists as before, but with two turns of preprogrammed artillery and a turn of smoke to assault my 1100 points of Germans who were in dugouts and gunpits. I chose to defend the four hills near my baseline. I has three HMGs, three mortars, two command teams and six infantry platoons, with two PAK36s teams. PAK36s and mortars on the back hill, two infantry and an HMG on the front. Infantry and Mortars in the left hill as a flank guard British stalled, turn 1 they failed to reach the table, so it took them at least four turns to advance. Artillery had landed on the right-hand hill, and rear hill, but had failed to kill anything, even with two 8 gun batteries of 25lbers . My ambush was sprung out the thicket. British infantry advancing developed an unfortunate habit of getting hit by mortars and HMGs. The British in turn 6 cleared the central hill with armour, but needed to get at least three infantry stand...
