Dr. The Viking's current ramblings: Dark Side of The Moon page 35

[Svennn]

Love that yellow marine

[Dr. The Viking]

I've been at since 9'o'clock this morning:

Boat's got gun ports now... 8 in total. Very crude and ad hoc, but that's all I can do...




And I put a sail on it.. 






The fort got a lick of paint. Again very crude, but I don't have the time. 

[dijit]

Yeah, you're gonna make it!

[Dr. The Viking]

More stuff!








Aqaaargh





Barring the windows the fort is done..

[Ray Rivers]

Nice job on the fort. 

Man, that is what I call FAST building! 

What material did you use for the rock formations?

[mattblackgod]

How did I miss this thread? Very inspirational.

[Marine0846]

Like your fort.
Very well done in the small time you worked on it.

[Dr. The Viking]

Phew!

Åcon has come and gone. Too fast in my humble opinion. I'll share with you here a brief overview of the convention.

We had 128 m2 of tent set up this year all courtesy of Castor on this forum. There were some 15 participants in all through the weekend. We had Barbara The Barbarian and loads of beer chilling in a Hello Kitty pool.


Thursday:
Thursday night we had a deranged game of "Røvede Stationsby" in which the Death Lords had arrived on Earth to eliminate the planet's only meteor laser.

The Death Lords wanted to use their meteor slingshot to pulverize the Earth and then use an intergalactic vacuum cleaner to gather up the mineral cloud afterwards.

To aid them in their quest they'd animated the entire local museum, which was at the time displaying a selection of the world deadliest inhabitants through time: Mammoths, romans, cavemen and dinosaurs!

Opposite the Death Lords was the usual rowdy crowd of police, swat and the fellow-townswoman of 50 foot size and some private contractors called The Tiger Force.

And here are some photos... while they may not look the part the fun that was had more than made up for it:

The table from one end..

Saturday
We also had a wee pirate game that featured vikings, dwarves in leopard skin hats, goblins and pirates!


Here the dwarves and the crew of Sir John Glutton Smythe are fighting out his birthday at the local inn















There will probably be a more dedicated coverage of this later..  

[Steve F]

Looks like much fun was had.  And it's good to see familiar figures in unfamiliar uses.

I believe that is fast becoming our specialty

Actually that is a picture of the Dwarves fighting Sven Flækskalle and his Viking crew. I did not take any pictures of the barfight with sir John Glutton Smythe I totally forgot in all the chaos and mayhem.

And also Jaay my first post and me out of lurkdom.

Here's a few photos of the game, featuring a few of Thorbjørn's mini's and terrain, plus a few of LAF's other members.

End game start up:


A view of the Viking short boat, just before it got sunk. Viewed from Le Chuck's ship:


The sinking of '(whatever-it's-name-was-after-it-had-changed-hands)'. Viewed from Le Chuck's ship


The sinking of the Unthinkable. Viewed from Le Chuck's ship:


The sneaky pirates leave the scene of their crime, leaving two ships burning and sinking (a re-occurring theme maybe?)


Cannibal island:


The brave defenders of St. Røvede:


A deserted island becomes the fighting ground of two crews, Le Chuck's zombie pirates and the crocodiles of the Voodoo Queen:


And yes the Zombie pirates sunk three ships and had their hands in sinking two others - Great fun!

Lovely stuff!
I might have to paint up a warband of pirates for Horizont Krabbkuken Karlsson will destroy them lesser pirates!

[knoxville]

A mighty fine idea! We should all do and get together in one giant battle. Ze Germans will roll cheap rum barrels over the border to make sure everyone is in a piraty (is that a word?) mood 

[aggro84]

Wow! What a really fun looking con. 

The overall quality of the miniatures and boards was amazing.
