Mortien et Gloriam - Chariots of Fire Biblical competition - a prelude.

Ptepic looked around, each of his eyes slowly focussing back to normality as Ptraci and Youbastard the camel looked on at the view unconcerned. He stood, somewhat shakily and surveyed teh terrain before him, pondering where the gods had brought him now...
"So, what god forsaken kingdom are we dealing with this tim?" He looked over to the black clad Arbath Ray.
"By my estimations, looking at star patterns and weather, teh legendary kingdom of  Der-Bi."

So, Psamtik, Ptepic and the scouts (and more importantly one camel and one queen), ride again. Numbers were somewhat affected by illnesses and other stresses (get well soon all), other events in Belgium the week before and an small event in Leeds. Six of us gathered in the almighty Boards and Swords Hobbies in Derby, where our welcome was warm and our hosts generous and kind.
Our entries: 
Nik: Hittite Empire
RJC: Sea Peoples
Phillip Powell: Sumerian
Keith Spedding: Later Sargonid Assyrian
Peter Bettany: Minoan

My list, largely unchanged from previous outing, is my Saitic Egyptian (undead) list.

It's turning into a good list. I had had two warm-up games vs Mark, and knew with such illustrious players onbaord, it was going to be some good fights.
I had even made a wooden spoon...




It was going to be a fun one!

Links to the arious rounds, have fun!
Round 1: vs Phillip Powell & Sumerian
Round 2: vs RJC & Sea Peoples
Round 3: vs Peter Bettany & Minoan
Round 4: vs RJC (again) & Saitic Egyptian (erm...hold on - yeah more on that later)

The armies of the Saitic Kingdoms, skeletons and mummies, erupted from their tombs, on foot and and on chariots, dark ghosts of Greeks, long immolated, formed from the fogs of the Nile. The Medjai and the two Royals and a mathematical camel joined the ranks as they moved off into the shimmer of time.

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...
