Test of Honour - First game. Take the bridge

Wednesday - Leighton Buzzard. Neil kindly took me through the Test of Honour rules. It's similar to Mortal Gods.

Neil's terrain is beautiful. My single building sits off, left. We went for a stand up fight, Neil arrived at the riverlet first, but found it uncrossable apart from at the bridge (random rol;).

My force, (borrowing Neil's cards) three Samurai of different types, and four units of Ashugaru: two spear, one archers, one arquibusiers - 23 points. Sure there is a way of getting it to 24...
Neil had two samurai, two spear armed Ashugaru, two archers and a shooter too.

My shooting forces escort the fighting types in. My battleworn samurai is behind the shrine center-left,

My first shot, the dice are slightly different to Mortal Gods (no wild/pegasus for instance). I got hits, but Neil also saved loads more.

My Battleworn Samurai took a series of serious hits from shooting here.

Passed his 'Test of Honour', but took an arm injury. -1 attack dice. Drat!

The action quickly developed into a brawl over the bridge, shoing back and forth with the five Samurai doing the bulk of the fighting. Neil's dice were on fire, mine were dreadful!

My three samurai all picked up injuries, while Neil's two were unscathed. I did more damage charging with my spear armed Ashugaru and poking oer the parapets!

Neil brought his spear armed Ashugaru up, but didn't need to worry. His two Samurai were carving through mine!

With all three Samurai out of action vs one of Neil's the game went to him. Great fun, will definitely play again.

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. 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 Ral Patha sheep - a ram raider! There are quite a few more of these to do, but this one fell off the lead pile while I was looking for something else. He will become part of a Dragoon Rampant units I suspect Back view Charge!

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
