Great battle report. Those Fir Bolg are lovely.

See, the first thing I need to know is, who is Tango01 and why are they a thieving shitweasel?

EDIT: I'd also like some clarification of the phrase 'the Fir Bolg shaman popped a wood up'.

Cool looking game!

See, the first thing I need to know is, who is Tango01 and why are they a thieving shitweasel?

He's a spam poster on another miniatures page site who never posts his own work, but shows images from other people's blogs and isn't always great about giving proper credit.

Joekano has explained Tango01 far more politely than I would have done.

Celtic Druids can cast illusions which allow them to make arboreal areas appear on the battlefield.
A kind of magical erection I suppose.

It was an excellent game with a good deal of see-sawing before the end. Tom has omitted to mention the heroics of Fergus the hero, who killed both Fir Bolg champions with spears - very Celtic!
