Sounds interesting and you really did a fantastic paint job on the Vikings. :-*
What about the owlbears? ;D
Well I'll get my @ss in gear and try and get them finished off.
Looking forward to see Skithögen modeled... ;)
Well I've got a scots force too, that could easily be made into an irish force with the addition of a monk or too (or a præst ;) )Don't forget the addition of quick wit, good looks, and a way with the lasses as well. These are the things that distinguish we Irish from our Scots bretheren. ;)

Looking forward to see Skithögen modeled... ;)
Yeah i prefer the first to the other to, maybe a male and two females?
I don't get owlbears. They are some sort of D&D invention aren't they?
I don't care how absurd they are. Owls look freaking scary anyway.
I wonder if it will be spray painted.I shouldn't be chuckling at this and the "bajsdraken" comment... but I am. =)
Not too fond of the poses and arm feathers on the two reaper figs. Will be fun seeing what a nice paintjob will do to it.
I voted black, but on second thought... Red, white and blue are all viable in a camp setting. Adding coloured ninja by definition makes the setting camp, but as you already mix vikings, owlbears and Skithögen I wouldn't worry too much about that. ;)but if you're going to go for camp ninjas you may as well go the full hog and paint them pink - 'Carry On the Viking'
Lets see,
Vikings,
Ninjas,
Owlbears
Your taking everything that's freaking awesome and putting it in one game. You need zombies, pirates (non-Viking ones), robots and t-rexs to finish the span of cool.
Loving the painting btw.
Dinosaurs are so bloody 90s, but maybe that's reason enough to make them an option? =)
Well, in case you change your mind, here are a few of my non black WWII ninja conversions: (http://blogsimages.skynet.be/images_v2/002/646/777/20090622/dyn010_original_621_327_pjpeg_2646777_fcadae931d5780b354fc4c02cc8de513.jpg)
This should be interesting - and this fall I'll probably attend Horizon - am crawling back out from beneath the rock where I've been hiding the last year....
In the old Frank Miller Daredevil/Elektra stories there were red ninjas. They looked pretty cool.Oh please, they were dark burgandy! ;)
Thanks guys! Your approval of my painting is highly motivating.
I'll put a word in for you with Odin when I reach Valhal.
Now I haven't really settled it all yet. But I've just bought 15 ninja. So I'm considering this idea:
Before the game starts, you roll to see where you've landed:
1-2: Owlbear Island
3-4: The Island of Ninja
5-6: ?!?
The board will essentially be the same in every situation. By changing one or two things (eg. adding or removing a samuraistyle gate or druid style temple) I can swap which island we're on.
Objective of the game will be of course to get as much loot as possible back to the Skithögen longship.
I'm open for suggestions as to the last slot.
Also - let me know if you think that I should just stick to the owlbears.

sorry for the late reply... but I think you need to set the record straight, and let our glorius forefathers meet up with some spartans... the fanboys of the 300 spartans needs to know that 3 vikings could have done the same thing, while looting, raping and drinking at the same time!
I disagree. It would have been too boring for them after a day or so and they would have sailed off and plundered the Persian empire meanwhile...
In all three games the "defender" eg. the non-viking player will get a set of mushroom counters to place on the table. They must be a distance of so and so apart and so on... there'll be 3 good ones and 3 bad ones (only the defender will know). If a viking comes within 3'' of either he must eat it immediatly.
Zombies for Sheep won't work well, as they have Combat 4.
;D
Great 'shrooms man!
Did you make them from scratch? I really like how the one on the left looks like a ... hat!!! lol
What, no were-sheep?
Great sheep! (And muttonchops.. or is that chopped mutton? lol)
lol
Great stuff!
Thought Damien Hirst had taken over for a minute there! ;)
Very inspired, whatever made you want to do these? Great stuff though, regardless of how twisted you may be.
You forgot the thin white and black edges on the tunics..... lol
The romans are done.. next I gotta do their tents. How many Romans to a tent? lol
8
Although the tent would probably only have space for 6 - 2 of the legionaires would be at guard duty at all times during the night... Don't try sneaking up on a camping legion! ;)
I actually think you should use 'castra':
From Wikipedia:
In classical Latin the word castra always means "great legionary encampment", both "marching", "temporary" ones and the "fortified permanent" ones, while the diminutive form castellum was used for the smaller forts, which were usually, but not always, occupied by the auxiliary units and used as logistic bases for the legions,....
;)
Yes the claws are red. And yes I've given them high gloss. And yes this is on purpose. And no they're not done yet. And yes my project is very silly. And no a lot of people won't understand or like it. I'm glad we understand each other.
Ooooooo... I like them! It's a daddy owlbear, a mommy owlbear and a baby owlbear. lol
Everything is soon with this project! lol
... Except the miniatures, which are superb already. ;)
Coming along very nicely. :)
Also, thanks for the many historical tidbits I continue to learn from this project! :D
Hmmm, maybe we should start the LAF Owlbear society?
I'd join. Those owlbears are looking good, I especially like the otherworld one. I believe it's otherworld, although it looks a bit small.
If there's an owlbear society I want to be the president! lol

:-* :-*
Its the perfect example for join 28 and 15mm minis in the same rules. ;)
Hahaha, thats brilliant :)
Looking really, really good! It's all coming together very quickly, and any game that gives out damage tokens in that way is destined to be a good, fun and enjoyable game.
I always enjoy the Lost World game with Paul and co.
Damage | Viking | Other | |
Arm cut off | no effect | no adjust | |
Leg cut off | no effect | move halved | |
Head cut off | dead | dead | |
Both arms off | no adjust | dead | |
Both legs off | move halved | dead | |
1 Gut wound | no effect | dead | |
3 Gut wound | dead | dead | |
Near miss | no effect | no effect |
This is brilliant, great looking models and I think the church is good too, it will work well with the scenario.
I'm glad you think so! :)What Rugbrød and Sild?
I hope we will have fun gaming it this weekend too. Maybe you have some Viking paraphernalia I can borrow and lay next to the table to give it the proper Viking feel!?
What Rugbrød and Sild?
:D
I was thinking more like mugs, axes, horns, statues and things along that line. ;)ahhh, the less weird stuff!
I hope I can find some Mjöd too.
Heisan Thorbjørn,
did you saw that?

Think could be of interest for you.
Hilsen
I just won one of those, but thank you! (in fact I bid on this too, but that was before realising that I had already won another) lol
Great looking game. Sounds like a lot of fun too.
What are you using for your Liliputians.
-Joe
Just a quick question: Do you use some mixed flock/static grass for the grass patches/areas?
Am looking forward to seeing this 'in the flesh' at the end of the month :)
Yes I make a mix of different materials and the sprinkle it on. I am VERY pleased with the results of the Scenic Spray that Captain Blood suggested (woodland scenics). It's perfect for sealing turf/grass/flocks. I used it on all my trees too and from sprinkling flock all over the place the trees have gone completely mute.
Where did you get the spray? Must be from mainland Europe, somewhere, as spray cans cannot be sent by air mail?
My trees make an awful mess, too... :)
It's not a can with compressed gas. Just a duster with some substance in a can (probably just diluted PVA, smells different though).
Oh. Does it leave a glossy effect, then, or does it dry up matt?
Do the Vikings and Owlbears set aside their differences and team up to take down those egotistical roman bastards?
Reaper have posted a new owlbear in there previews section.Another one for your collection.
... and I need to paint some animals o_o

The Priest and his parish!
How big Owlbears are supposed to be in real life?
Can we get a photo lineup of all the owlbears with their makers? These are great.
How big Owlbears are supposed to be in real life?Well that would also depend on whether it's the European or the North American variety.
Anyhow, very nice paintjob 8)
Are we to take it you can sing as well as paint and make amazing gaming boards!? ;)
I thought rhyming later with femur was particularly inspired!
Ooooooh, oooooooooohhhhh!
Hmmm... my participation in Horisont is beginning to lo look a little doubtful. I have some weird injury in my left heel (it started out of nowhere Monday when walking out from a meeting at work) that hurts like h...., and makes me limp in a way that has started causing me back problems. :(Ahh Nils, that's really not good! You could always just say 'it's only a flesh wound!' ;) Let's just hope it clears up in the next week or so - God bedring!
I'm staying home today and trying to get an appointment with my GP to get it checked.

Well, as part of the orchestration behind the event I'm beginning to surpass surprise and disappointment in these matters. We always expect a 1/10 drop out. With 70 people signed up, we have some way to go yet.
But as far as I can see you have never signed up? So it's really no problem :)
Yes I did, and I also paid - I'm listed on the participants list on Powerfist. At least the last time I checked. You're drunk again! lol
'tenosynovitis' (seneskedehindebetændelse in Danish)
EDIT: Yes - I'm number 45 on the list >:D
Looks great Thorbjørn, looking forwards to seeing it. Do the runes say anything?
Yes it's part of the ancient viking band Black Sabbath's "Valhalla"lol
For a moment I thought you'd misspelled "ruined". :o
...and I have to attend my mother-in-law's birthday >:(
Seeing such a nice table and learning more about the truth behind cool bands makes me feel rather annoyed by that...
Oh, well, she's a nice lady and I'll try to be all nice and supportive. Anyway, I wish you guys the best of luck and have lots of fun.
A huge thank you to all the players who had a game with me at the short time I had at the Tactica and to the arrangers of the Tactica.Ask, and Ye Shall Receive!
There were a lot who took pictures, and I hope that some of them will find their way to this thread.
Especially the game with the Future instalment was funny I think. lol
I hope to get the Vikings to new frontiers during 2011, I'm even considering Crisis and Gubspel Galore but it all depends.
