Zoontalis - my daughter painted her Axolotls, I painted my foxes.

Easter holidaqy activity, Rach painted her Axolotls


I sculpted the bases for her (she wanted a water theme), applied inks before she highlighted and did the details on the eyes, the rest is entirely her work.


Look, salmon rose!


They are very much her favourite (this week) and gave my Platupuses a kicking on Thursday!


Meanwhile, I finished my guild of foxes


Feisty


These just ooze sneakiness

 Recently, my friend David introduced myself and my daughter to Zoontalis. It's a fast play, four creature aside combat game. The rules are great, but the sculpts they produce are even better.

Rach has finished her next guild - Pandamonium!


All I did was add basing and tidy up after her.


Her choice of colours ties in nicely


These are going to be hard!


They go really well
 
 
My next two Guilds.
Perilous Platupuses and Raging Rabbits


The rabbits


Boing!


Side on

Hunting pack


Platapuses


Decided to add semi-aquatic bases on two


The thief in purple is called Peri! Peri the Platypus


Heavy hitters


Ready to go

Foxes to go for me, Axolotls and Pandas for Rach!

My 11 year-old, Rach, has painted her first guild. Tortoises.


I only offered technical advice, sculpted the bases and tidied up a couple of patches after.


All colour choices were her own


She has done an amazing job!


TMNT inspired too!
 
 
This is my first 'Guild' - The Rat Bags (an insult used in jest in my family when someone does something comically bad).
I also have the starter sets of Rabbits, Foxes and Platypusses to paint up, plus Rach has tortoises she wants to paint.


 
Each guild comes with a mage, a ranger, a thief and a warrior.

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...
