More work on the Reptile army, particularly pleased with the Ballista, a Clay Cyanide 3D print, rendered for me by the guys at RumandResin Printing, and then kitbashed with North Star Snakemen heads.

[Dean]

More reptiles: a Coral Snake Yuan-ti, lizard shaman, and some North Star snakemen.

Our heroes have found a horde of gold and gems and are transporting it back their ships when they find a dragon army in their way, and we all know how dragons feel about their treasure …

Round 1 - the Vikings advance and are surprised as the various flying units of the Dragons close the distance considerably

Round 2 - the Fenris wolves charge the Black Dragon, even with the Rage ability they only score one hit, it’s a good one,  but the Dragon takes it with resilience and both wolves die.  The “slings and arrows” levy rush to the top of the hill and fire off a salvo, killing a Drake.

The Purple Dragonkin portal to behind the vikings!  The Black Dragon breaths corrosive acid at the nearest unit, killing a Hearthguard.  The remaining Drake charges the hill but is cut down. The flying kobolds charge the Hearthguard and both sides take two casualties.

[Dean]

Round 3 - you can tell that Ulf’s band really wants a crack at the Red Dragon, but first the need to clear away the Green Dragonkin, which with the aid of Rage they do. Stigandr takes a chance using the full force of Stoke Fury on his lord Baldr, which passes without incident, and Baldr slaughters most of the remaining flying kobolds, and We Obey makes the remaining two Hearthguard jump in and finish them off.  On the other flank, a Purple is shot by each of the two Levies and the Black Dragon is taken down by the Spear wielding Hearthguard.

The Dragon Sorcerer is not having a good day, he fires both Bolt and Breath at Ulf’s band to no effect.   The Red Dragon then attacks and scores five hits but only one causes a casualty, while three of the four hits from Ulf’s Band land true and down goes the Dragon!  The Brown dragon wisely chooses easier foe and crashes into the Bondi unit trying to hide behind a hedge.  The Dragon Warlord also enters the fray and kills the last two Hearthguard Spears, who will be welcomed into Valhalla though for besting a Black Dragon! Meanwhile those pesky Purple Dragonkin kill the driver of the cart, can they recover the treasure?

Round 4 - fatigue starts to take its toll as units try to get moving but find they can’t.  Ulf’s Band, the “Slings and Arrows” and the two axe wielding Hearthguards with Baldr all fail to do anything, and going the other way, the Dragon Sorcerer can’t do anything and the Brown Dragon finds itself too weak to survive an attack by the remaining three Hirdmen, it also only scored a single hit with 14 dice!

By the time the Dragon Warlord and Sorcerer contemplate their next move, they are all that remains of their force and wisely decide that the Vikings can keep their loot!

Vikings 31 points, Dragons only 15, not how I thought things were going to go at the end of turn 2!

More progress for the Reptile army

[Plynkes]

It's good to see your return to gaming is still going strong. Long may it continue. 

[Dean]

Thanks mate!

I have let Five Leagues distract me a bit, but I am still progressing with the Reptiles.  Here’s their Warlord, some archers, and a couple of Gator Hearthguard.
