Title: The adventures of Ibn Scrivs at Colours 2013
Post by: scrivs on 16 September 2013, 08:00:00 PM

This weekend I took my Almohads to the Warhammer Ancient Battles Medieval event held at the Colours 2013 show.

I had five great games against five excellent opponents and eventually finished in eighth place.

I've done a report of all my games, more photos and a round up of the event over at the Scrivsland blog (http://scrivsland.blogspot.co.uk/2013/09/the-adventures-of-ibn-scrivs-at-colours.html)

Great rep. Bloody shame that you found yourself fighting all those shooty armies.

Still, count your blessings you didn't bump into the Hussites!!  :)

Thanks chaps, and it's a small mercy I managed to avoid being shot to pieces by the Hussites.

I was trying to make you feel a bit better.... I'll try again, at least you didn't have to face the AoC Uber-Teutonic list  ;) :).

I've added a secret weapon to the army for Derby - I've just painted a dozen camels!

Now ya got 'em!  :D

At least you're playing with the right spirit Paul.. that counts for a thousand victories IMHO  8).

BTW, is it the old lists that tend to be used at tourneys or the new AoA lists? I ask as I'm interested in attending some of the none too competitive tourneys but I don't own the 'new' AoA lists (which have of course sold out!)

It seems to be mainly the new lists now. As they are sold out, I'm sure I could scan you some relevant pages.

That might be a way forward  ;) :). Though, of course, I don't even own a list of what armies are available. i guess Christian Spanish (1100's) is a good place to start  :D.
