Mortien et Gloriam - Chariots of Fire Biblical competition

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.

Legion Imperialis 8mm - Civitas ruins boxed set.

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' in 6mm, GW have released Legion Imperialis in 8mm. Marine booster pack painted up, group photos! Mixed bag About 100 extra points on table! "Did I miss the photoshoot?" *FACEPALM* These are the ones I've be...

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...
