Post by: Derek H on July 07, 2016, 11:17:39 PM: Played with them for the first time tonight.

Spectre (Heavy Foot (4), Wizardling (2), No Feelings) 6pts
Skeleton Giant (Greater Warbeast (6) Fear (2), No Feelings) 8
3 x Skeletons (Bellicose Foot, 4 pts, No Feelings) 12
Skeleton Archers (Light Missiles, 4pts, No Feelings) 4

No feelings is a mixed blessing. Not getting battered is really useful, but rounding up the hits on armour is a real pain.

Post by: MM on July 08, 2016, 08:21:46 AM: Very nice, I'm also contemplating an undead force for Dragon Rampant so a great inspiration!

I also like the basing, 4 or 6 models together on a skirmish base.

Title: Re: Dragon Rampant at Derek's Wee Toys
Post by: Derek H on July 08, 2016, 04:45:33 PM: Mostly Games Workshop plastics from several generations, but also Marauder, Reaper Bones and Black Tree Design.

Details are in a blog post at http://bit.ly/29nyuGg (http://bit.ly/29nyuGg)

Post by: MagpieJono on July 08, 2016, 04:55:36 PM: I like the 6 models loosely grouped on the bases idea.

Did you make the larger bases or buy them?

Post by: Vermis on July 11, 2016, 11:21:36 PM: To be honest, with that many bases, I'd start looking at dedicated mass battle rules. :D But it's all very impressive, all the same. I like those wizards and their bodyguards!

Post by: Hat Guy on July 12, 2016, 12:56:33 AM: Derek, is it ok if I post a couple of pictures of your armies to my Gaming Club facebook group? I'd like to show the variation in size that can be achieved with Dragon Rampant and your stuff is pretty neat looking to boot! :D

I intend to play games with 2 players a side each with a 30 points force and I like having a choice. :)

I've never found a set of mass battle fantasy rules I got on with, but I'm loving Dragon Rampant.
Title: Re: Dragon Rampant at Derek's Wee Toys - Chaos
Post by: Derek H on July 15, 2016, 09:52:06 AM: Chaos force expanded - now featuring Bob the Balrog. Lots of pre-painted miniatures bought cheap when the games were discontinued.

I really like the Balrog. He's huge, 7" tall and 10" wide, and all I needed to do to make him usable was rebase him - the painting is as he came out the box. Not bad for £10.
