An overview of the table.

The central feature, a Palace/Residency of some sort.

Draught elephant ~ very nice model.
As you can guess, I liked this game rather a lot.

Lovely stuff. ;D
I really like the small details in my games like the market stalls, civillians etc. I think they bring the table to life. I like it alot too. :-*
-
Nice buildings and figures, but the lack of proper terrain is detrimental to the overall appearance of the display, methinks. That piece of cloth definitely looks a bit bland to my eyes.
Don't think the nellie in the last shot is a Mutineer beast, by the way : the mahout and his crony are definitely Foundry figures, and so is the pachyderm - the Mutineer one does not have a strap at the back of the saddlecloth and its legs are posed differently.

The cloth may not be perfect, but given that they have probably got something like a 250 mile journey (each way) I'm happy enough to grant them a little leeway.

No wonder... it looks fantastic!
-
Nice figures, great terrain, but the tablecloth is indeed a bit of a let-down - not necessarily because it's cloth, but because the colour is sooo different from all the terrain. I think it would have benefitted tremendously from some thin spraypaint coatings in various browns and reds, just so the buildings stand out a little less.
-
Its a long way from Aberdeen/Edinburgh, so saving on terrain boards and sharing cars gets my vote, so I'll look the other way on the cloth colour. Anyway, it might just be my photos.... ;)
-
Great looking figures, buildings, accessories - all top-notch.
Have to agree about the tablecloth though ::)
Completely understand what you say about transporting boards long distance, David. But can't help but wonder if a little bit of paint / texture on the dustsheet might have helped.
But each to their own. If they're happy, that's all that matters.

I think the buildings and figures look great.
I really like the market and well.
-
Good stuff; which rules were they using?
-
Looks great!
I would really like to go to one of the British shows, they seem to have more variety than the Swedish ones (40k, Fantasy, other GW stuff).

Some shows are first class.
Can you not arrange a family holiday that "coincides" with a show ?
-
Like the gates of the buildings a lot.

I would love to, but I don't think the Mrs wish to go west when we usually go south ;)
Just have to bid my time, and try to plan the so-called business trip to Partizan next year...

An Indian variation of Chris Peer's "In the Heart of Africa"

We should indeed do something about that...

Thanks, most useful. As Command and Control was a problem for the Mutineers did they have a system to deal with that or just play it as per the playsheet?
-

Agree!
Really look forward to play some NWF-games ;)

Me to, if I ever get it ready.

Thanks for posting the pics David.
For some of the people who commented, the cloth has been sprayed and textured but it just isn't showing up on David's photos. The distance from Edinburgh is not a problem for bringing down terrain which would be apparent from people who have seen our previous displays over the last 10 years. Brian, who organised the game, this is his first attempt at a display game, is hoping to put on a larger game next year which will have specific made terrain including the Kashmir gate and hopefully all the figures will be from Mutineer Miniatures.

Hi David,
Welcome to the mad world of the LAF.
-
Thanks Phil, I hadn't heard of this forum before. It was good to see you and David at the show, apart from the great games it is also a social outing having got to know so many people over the years.

You see, I knew it was my photos really... :'(
Welcome to LAF David! Painted those few Russians yet? No? Oh well, always tomorrow! ;)
-
Great looking game - like it all!

A wonderful looking game.
Question - I recognise a few Mutineer buildings (and the walls off course) but where do the rest of the buildings come from? The Residence is nice piece.
Great stuff!
Cheers
