Mortiem et Gloriam Mitanni vs Median Empire

Another Warfare warm-up, with Paul trying out a different list variant from the later book, and my glorious Mitanni getting in vital practise before Warfare.
Median Empire, used by a mathematician, there must be some mean-mode-median-range jokes here...
Nope, I got nothing.

There are three units of infantry, off right----->
Centre, what centre?

Early skirmishing, lots of dice, not many hits! That's the five right hand dice...

That's the two left hand dice vs Paul's superior cavalry (White+ means S wounds, so nasty)

On the right, that's an awful lot of infantry, which I wanted to get in on, but there is a lot of shooting stuff in the way. Paul's skilled shooters erm... missed!

Paul pointing out the error of my ways as he concentrates three units on my 4 of superiors.

Paul starting to envelop my flanks.

I lost a base!  I killed a unit of Paul's horse in melee and then where to go next?  (2-0)

Trying to catch smoke on the right, I move my foot up to support, but this is my brittle side.

It's an utter mess over on this side, as Paul catches my superiors around the back. My averages struggle to deal with the other flank.
Told you they were brittle,  I start hemorrhaging bases to charge reaction shooting.
Thing joins the game!  I desperately try to work out how to gain points as Paul starts to tear me apart! Sure I had a unit here a second ago (2-2)

Despite winning, Paul breaks off, but it doesn't quite work out as one of his units breaks on the break-off due to Kill-A-Base test. (4-2)

Too little too late, as 4 units collapse in a turn and my army disintegrates. (4-15 to Paul)

Cracking game, and a lot of Paul's units were brittle, but he had SOOOOO many units that I could not get in on all of them.
These maths jokes just aren't coming are they!

Legion Imperialis 8mm - Bikers.

Bikers - 3d prints for Legion Imperialis Suspect there are menat to be more per base, but it suits my denuded them. I regret not doing one with plates! Brrrrrmmmm... It's all gone a bit Judge Dredd! Terrain box (Civitas ruins) painted up Honestly took me longer to build it than it did to paint! But there may be a reason for that Someone needs a word with their structural surveyor! I mean, the build quality here is awful. At least the marines will have somewhere to hide It's about an A3 of ruined stuff It's been trashed Comes with a lot of scatter  The rest of the club was doing it, so I had to do it!  Looking through the various Legions from the Horus Herasy, I decided... Nope. Don't like them. Stick to what you know. 'Stick 'Em In The Eye - It's the Emperor's Pointy Sticks' So, seven years after I painted the 'Emperor's Pointy Sticks'...

The random miniatures in my lead pile thread

Hi all, As the months go on, I am finding more random stuff that does not fit into any catagory is creeping it's way up to the surface of my lead mountain. I decided a few years back, rather than just throw it back like one of Nobby's escaped socks, I would actually paint some of them   Claudia the animal handler, Bowie and Marcella the Monster Hunter from Bad Squiddo Back view Side on     Mimic from Bad Squiddo Gribbly Sushi? Catch of the day!   Another Grenadier 1984 from Brian's collection - possible Flesh Golem? Pants! Quick job, but fun   TT Combat Halfling adventuers, a barbarian, a fighter, a ranger (with squirrel), a mage, and a bard (with bagpipes) Rough bunch Distancing themselves from the Bard! Fireball!   Really random. Converted GW 1990s halfling on a...

AWI forces for Lee - 10mm Pendraken

Lee asked me to paint up extra forces for his AWI collection so he can also play 'Live Free or Die'. Lee's Hessians done, all figures by Pendraken in 10mm flags by Vaubanner . The column approaches. 1st Combined Grenadier Regt Top view In line Almost wide to deploy in line for my light box! Off they go Looking good Fusilier Regt von Dittfurth From up high Nice looking troops Column advances Just, go that, way! Sarge, we're going round in circles Grenadier Regiment Rall, at ease Thin blue line? The chords really make these figures pop Not sure they actually carried colours, but the pack came with a standard bearer, and after a bit of searching, I found something probable.  Everyone's favourite, the Jagers Blending in, almost Player's eye view The whole batch  British light infantry done and added to Lee's collection. Again, mixed facings as they were consolidated units. Top view Made of firing and advancing plus command figures Qu...
