Announcement and picture

Just a short post tonight, I have been advised by a friend of Derek's to add a 'follow' gadget to the blog. I've never followed anyone else's work on blogger before, but am always keen to match supply to demand.

I try not to let a post pass by without some sort of model-related content, so I will relate to you the participation game Derek and I took part in at a show that I've forgotten the name of (Help!).

The game was a skirmish from the Trojan War, featuring two heroes and a few random goons on each side, run with the Song of Blades and Heroes rules. A good set of rules, producing a quick, elegant and brutal game. Unfortunately, it also requires a bit of getting used to and good dice rolling skills, which is what I chose to blame for the end result of Hector and Paris dead (Hector on turn two...).

There's only one photo because I wasn't doing very well, but it displays the only combat where I won a round, as well as some very well painted models too.

Two nameless spearmen who held of one of the Achean heroes (Nestor?) for a majority of the game.
