Elbows: Famine, Sword, & Fire (The Empire Strikes Back, p.7)

I'm going to finish them...and then stuff them in a box for most of the time.

So… what we all do with our armies?
Looking forward to seeing your take on the empire

[Elbows]

Well, I scored a narrow victory for my Bazanti against my buddy's undead army yesterday.  He has a not-Bretonnian force and a large Orc army he's working on at the moment.





I also started with the Empire units from Battle Masters.  They are taking a lot more time to paint than the bad guys (just more...fiddly?).  First unit complete.

Looks like a great game! Love the Empire troops as well, very striking

[Elbows]

Had some buddies get together for a rather large game of FSF this weekend.  My buddy's Dwarf army looked incredible (and he painted it in about a week!)











Played about 5-5.5 hours...and the game came down to a literal draw...too close to call!  We should have set a scenario and better win conditions

Great looking armies and interesting game.

[Pattus Magnus]

Great looking game! I like the dwarves- are they 3D printed? The only quibble I would have is with the mounts, as I prefer horses/ ponies to exotic critters. Your friend’s execution on them is excellent, though.

[Elbows]

Yep, all the dwarfs are Highland Miniatures prints.  He prints them himself...I guess you'll dislike the bear cavalry he's planning on ordering!

The local group has decided to go in a Warhammer direction for their fantasy armies.  I am still debating what to start to fit into the narrative.

[Basementboy]

I’m sure there are others who’d appreciate bear cavalry… myself included

[Elbows]

Sadly my buddy lives 3+ hours away, so...you'll only see dwarves here every six months or so, maybe less. 

[Pattus Magnus]

Ha! Yeah, no bears for me as mounts. I grew up in an area where bears (American black bears) were some of our closest neighbors and they’re not the sort of critter that you want to try sitting on!

[Elbows]

Slowly chewing through more Empire stuff, the archers this time.
