‘Orrible Little Men - Medieval

[KarwickWingmaker]

Part Two – The Melee





Having rushed through the village, Evans' Men at Arms push toward Firth's cavalry, who quickly wheel away from them, riding through the village to harass Evans' archers. Evans' Billmen are not far behind their heavily-armoured comrades.



Losing one of their men as they charge in, they inflict a crushing blow to Evans' army. The brave archers hold their ground, though they are badly bloodied.



Evans himself rushes to defend his men, but the cavalry wheel away once more, remaining irritatingly out of reach.



Before they could be caught by Anthony Evans himself, Firth's mounted Men at Arms crash into the enemy Artillery. A bloody melee ensues.



Meanwhile, on the other flank, Richard Firth is confronted by Evans' Men At Arms. The archers attempt to whittle their numbers down, but only inflict a single casualty.





Firth charges in, alongside his Attendant, though he comes off worse than his opponents, loosing his Attendant in the melee and being forced back by his fearsome adversaries.

Part Three – Final Moments



Evans' Billmen rush along the road to offer support to the Men at Arms. They spot Firth retreating behind his archers, having fled from the Men at Arms, though chasing after him is only one of several potential options available to them.



Having seen off the enemy Artillery, Firth's mounted Men at Arms wheel around, only to spot Anthony Evans himself out in the open.




Evans bravely charges into Firth's Men at Arms, only to be enveloped by the enemy Mounted Men at Arms. He fights bravely, though his Attendant falls in the opening melee.



Firth rejoins the melee, though Evans' Men at Arms prove incredibly difficult to see off.




Evans continues to fight bravely until he has no more to give. He yields to Firth's men who capture him, accepting his surrender willingly.



Firth's mounted Men at Arms give out a great cheer and ride to their master to tell him of the victory. Evans' men flee in all directions, though Firth's men are too spent to give chase for long.

Thanks very much! hopefully there will be more painting to show / battle reports soon as the campaign ramps up!

Slow progress on painting as my hobby time has been mostly spent on the draft layout for my rules set. First time I’ve prepared anything for publishing but it’s a fun process so far!

Anyway here’s a hovels church that I painted recently, all done in one afternoon apart from priming! It’s a fantastic model and scales quite nicely with conflix buildings as a relatively small church / chapel.

Well done, the church came out excellent - and the speed is astonishing. I very much like the appearance of the cool blue-grey shingle highlights, and the windows are quite an eye catcher. Lovely work.

Hopefully I will soon have chance to make the second battle report of the campaign.

I’ve been getting on with the painting but haven’t posted anything recently so here are three objective markers useful for the “Old Ned’s Farm” scenario in the rules manual

Nice objective markers
