It could! It seemed daft he would stand there while they turned it and made final adjustments re: loading, so I told the gun player that as GM I would probably give the skaven a chance to avoid by moving (which would mean then he couldn't charge them in his turn).

The player chose not to shoot and took another shot at the advancing units outside the city.

Now I think of it in the clear light of morning and not in a boiling hot cellar late at night, one way to interpret the rules would have been to say that skitterleap makes the character appear not quite instantaneously ... And that while he was shimmering into existence the gun could turn to shoot him

We have discussed. No back track this time!

Meanwhile Crack's Call brought down the gate tower!

And the Rat Ogres have taken Wall 4!

Last Pic: Viewer's right = metal rat ogre, old-ish. The other two are plastic, from machines originally I think, and kind of kit-bashed to be a pair (one is holding the other's chains!)

That's a very nicely-painted trebuchet!

Ta muchly, WuZhuiQiu!

Here's a link to the just completed story with this picture in, being the prequel to the battle report I am working on now ... http://forum.oldhammer.org.uk/viewtopic.php?p=103368#p103368

How has the campaign been going?

Padrissimus · « **Reply #306 on:** 01 November 2020, 06:03:39 PM »

Oh, sorry! It has been going. There's a whole new play-by-mail battle record replete with pics. I just stupidly thought I had put the pics here. I will rectify, and put some more pics from this battle here too

I am now in the process of doing some of the strategic GMing, moving things around on the campaign map and communicating with players, but I have slowed myself by starting several painting projects and being about to enter my busiest work month of the year (especially as Covid virtually stripped every booking in the last 7 months!!!)

Some more pics will follow ....

Time to flee, my lady!

Fantastic.

I went over and read the battle report. I know that it was fought within the context of a campaign, which means that either side could have had a stronger force, but I would be curious to know what the points would have been for each side?

PadreMack from BSW!!

I had no idea you were also on this forum.

Man, you are the single biggest inspiration for keeping my hobby fun and making my approach to painting/modleing/playing truly personal.

I've been following you since I stumbled onto the Bragovo battle report(I still remember looking in awe at a battle report between dwarfs and undead that felt more like a movie than a game with painted toy soldiers) and I've always been a fan of your painting style: so unique and so personal.

It's what inspired me to come up with a painting style that I liked and that I thought looked good for my miniatures instead of just doing what I thought other might like on the table.

And all that rich background, lore, history and creativity put into creating a wrold that make each game feel alive and truly engaging....

I'm not ashamed to say that I blatantly copied your approach and came up with my own lore for my dwarfs; who, incidentally, are also from a Tilean stronghold.

One of my hobby dreams is to actually one day have a game with you and just be part of one of the many episodes in your campaing.

And... nothing, keep up the amazing job, you really are an endless source of inspiration.

Thank you for your very uplifting words, Luigi. You have cheered me right up when I needed it. It is wonderful to know someone enjoys reading my stuff and looking at the pictures.

Here is a first batch of pictures from my latest battle, when the army of Portomaggiore (with some Reman allies) fought the vampire Duchess Maria's army and the army of the Church of Nagash.

The vampire Captain Bernhardt.
