Stew's This Quar's War (updated with game pics April 22)

[stew]

Thanks Scotty.  The trees are a nice start in the right direction. 😀

[stew]

now where was I? oh yes, doing a thread. I've been neglectful.  but better this thread than the children. right?
maybe. 

anywhos, first, time for some painted Quars:


Coftyr Rhyflers



throw in a sharpshooter:



With the Playtest rules for Tractors (tanks) being released for This Quar's War: Clash of Rhyfles, it seemed time to upgrade.  The Coftyrans have the only Anti-tank / anti-infantry gun so far in the form of a small thing officially called "RCO m60" which is short for "Royal Coftyran Ordnance Field Howitzer Model 60." 


it's basically a mini howitzer.
a very mini howistzer.




aaaannnnnddd some crusader infantry just to not be completely one sided.



In Mid November, I attended a local game convention and spent a day hosting 2 games of Clash of Rhyfles. 
here are some pretty pics:
the basic table set up before deployment:


and some in game pics:




Me in the Purple shirt, pointing with intensity.








2 lone rhylfers defend the barrier.  though if there's two of you, you're not exactly lone.





and that's enough image spam.  You get the idea.  there were miniatures and terrain...
CoR continues to be one of most favorite  favorite games. 
I haven't done much at all the last part of the year and continue to wallow in other obligations.  Next year will continue with more Quar. 

Thanks to all that take the time to read this thread.  Happy Holidays, Happy New Year.

That is a nice table.

Nice to see your progressl

By the way, the Crusaders have the Splagen pitot mortar for anti-tracter work.
I have only just noticed the detail on one of the painted ones

Thanks UVS. 
Yes, I have some torpedo dudes, just not painted yet. 
What I really want to complete is more terrain. 

[stew]

In a painting furry these two dudes got painted all over them.  Not sure what I'll use them for.  2 of the old metal sculpts for Partisans. 

[scotty]

Nicely done, would look good as some partisans

[stew]

Thanks Scotty.  These are older metal partisan sculpts.
I have some more around here somewhere.   But not enough for a full squad.

Stew, Was the local game in Auburn by chance?  Dave Partak's gathering?

Hi LeadFool,

As a matter of fact it was.  Nicely spotted. 
Great little con.

You could mix in a few newer models and with a little conversion make them look like deserters to fill out a squad

[mithril]

your trench board looks like it would make an excellent Creevish Suddigffyrdd "trench highway"

art from the "western iron" lore book:

[stew]

Thanks Miithril.  That is the idea. 
And also inspired by images like this


Actually, those look very similar.  .

More to come soon. 

[stew]

ack!  I've been letting this thread fall behind.  Not that it really matters.  It's like when parents tell their kids that it's not a race.

Some painting:



One of the newer blister is a farmer with a giant rhino looking beetle.  I also added a on old metal farmer looking dude and some old metal puff pigs.  All these dudes have a very specific job of being on the game and doing nothing but looking nice.

like so:

keep it up fellas.

Some playing:
did a large game to test some stuff out. 
In this situation, the Crusaders are marching down a road when they get ambushed by some royalists. 




Some random game shots.  By now I have forgotten all the context...





Oh, this fellow on the left is the Crusadeer Is-Caerten, and it's his job is to escape the table.  His two buddies are there to help.


lastly, if anyone who reads this is local to the SF Bay Area (never know), this sunday I'm helping organize a free game day at GameKastle in Fremont.  come check it out.



There, now we all caught up with each other.

Nice looking critters, and the board.

I have not tracked down any fluff on non war related aspects of Alwyd.

Nice looking additions Stew
