10mm British Western Desert forces - Third Command stands added

British command stands

Two British AOPs and added command figures to the Humber


Love AOP carriers, utterly insane, Caunter camo with a ladder!


Commanding officer with his foot up on a stool, had to be painted as a plastercast!!


New camera please!

After the guys requested a rematch, Mark also requested three commanders.
So, here is the third commander for the British.
I will add some appropriate foot/desk commanders at a later date.


Good thing Humbers come in packs of two as thos was a quick fix.

On the left, Colonel Antrobus of the 139th Borsetshire Light/Heavy Foot, his two 'loyal' servents Yab Taeid (in red) and Eaqid 'Ahmaq (with Fez), that he aquired in Alex, and his long suffering batman, Sgt Phillip Archer, scope out what is going on from a rise. Meanwhile their badly parked Humber Heavy 4 by 4, 'borrowed' from the 201 Guards Brigade, idles.
On the right, the, so-far ill-fated, armoured command AEC Dorchester


As the air supply buzzes past


Scenes of industry and indolence


Looking out into the desert


Should we advance, sir?

Electric powered turrets were ground breaking at the time


They do look good


Humber armoured car






Third Crusader II to take my force up to three, which seems a reasonable




Unfortunatley, I got the colours wrong and had to repaint to match the others


Mortar section and command






Command stand and three infantry stands (which will bulk out my others to two platoons, with or without leaders)


Advancing

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...

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...
