Cañari by Lurkio/Little Corporal

Who?

Well, you know I won the MeG competition at Warfare (I might have have mentioned it). My prize was a boxed army of Lurkio Cañari warriors. About 95 quids worth (enough for 60 bases of spears, 18 bases of skirmishers and 3 generals). Not too shabby! Quick email to Little Corporal and a few reinforcements are under the brush no too!

Cañari are a tribe from Ecador. They were opposed to the Inca expansion, and ultimately lost, but were considered the best fighter in the area. They were crushed by the Inca during the aftermath of the Incan Civil War and their population scattered across the Incan Empire. The modern Cañari province takes their name and a population still exists, even if their language is dieing.
Great
Except they are mostly unarmoured and have spears! Dirt cheap and nasty. This is going to be hilarious...

Canari archers finally painted up to use next weekend


Twang!


Three units of skirmishers ready to go

Except I painted them in the wrong basing scheme originally, so had to redo them!

Especially as I'm using them next weekend!
So I got painting, 7 days later.
Three extra skirmishers and two more units and a general completed.

The general.


They went that-a-way
 

Look, I told you, it's over there!


Ready to boss around.


Two extra stands to get green units to full strength.


I mean, does this army needs MORE spears?
 

Decent figures, averagely painted!

 

Next unit of whites.


Fleet of foot long spear, but unprotected? It's an interesting mix...


Off they go!


One even has looted Inca kit!


Top down

 

Two extra protected stands to get blue unit up to strength as an 8 stand unit.


Looking good guys!


Charge!


Elite super unit, The Pink Guard
 

Ready to defend the camp and honour of the army.
 

Oh, all right, they're poor and unprotected!


Back to the skirmishers, only 6 units now out of the (new) potential of 9. Third unit of slingers. These have proved themselves invaluable so far, see how they do at the weekend?

And two more sets of atlatl spear throwers (acting as archers at the moment to to a slight list oops we spotted)


Will get some 'proper' archers to replaces/suppliment them soon.


I think I'm going to have silly fun with this lot!


I mean, a volley of pointy stick = awesome?


Catch!


Decent troops, maybe not, decent laugh, definitely!


Almost the whole army.


Legendary general?

Average, normal, everyday troopers. There will be a LOT of these!


Two units of six bases and an eight an base unit

 
Off they trot

Head honchos!


They went that-a-way!

Baggage (mobile, with Llamas)

Warhammer Old World - Goblins vs Empire, Batlle of The Hilly Hill

"Oi, where's the rest of the army?" Stumpy Jason turned round to the musician Thumpy Jason. "We's only playing 1000 points!" "Oh right. But why are there more Empire 'ooomans than us then?" the Goblin Wolfrider capatin pondered. Mort and I met up for a game of Warhammer Old World. I chose my Goblins, with only 1000 points. This led to me taking a unit of spears, with the army standard, a unit of archers, a spear chucker and some wolf riders. A level 1 mage, my general on a giant squig and Stumpy Jason rounded out my selection. I was tooled up with magic standards and characters, so half my points were tied up in characters. Mort had two units of mounted pistolliers, a spear unit, two detachments , one of handgunners, one of halbardiers, and a small unit of knights. Two characters were embedded in his spears and one pistolliers, and a mage strode forwards with the halbardiers. My wolves and general went left, archers, spears, bolt chucker and...

Mortal Gods - Three Sided scrap - finding the treasure.

Typhon woke up, his head was banging, and there would definitely be a new scar on hi sarm... "Nice to see you can take a knock too!" Leandros looked over at the archer. Polykratos sat on a nearby boulder, helmet and shield at his feet, sword bloodied, he was smiling at his two fellow fighters. "Nice to see you two sleepy heads. By the way, we won! Spartans and Etruscans all sent packing, treasures secrured!" Dave, David and I met up for a game of Mortal Gods. Mark was meant to be joining us, but he had to call off. This is only a quick report, as we were haing too much of a laugh! Six objecties were scattered across the field, which you have to find and hold until the end of turn 5. One would go live on a roll of '6', if an action was expended on it. The others then are empty. Three sides means two corners and an edge. 450 points each. I was nearest, Dave the other corned, David the opposite edge.My standard warband took to the field, with their eyes firmly...
