Re: The founding of Hickory Flat. Finished Weather Chart 27/2.

Hi All,
It has been a while, lost some of the mojo on this project but yesterday Groove and I did a little game of Ffol and the mojo came back. I'm currently painting the Ainsty detritus. I also finished the Weather Chart (still open for suggestions though) and added some rules for the dog "Old Woofer"

Regards,
Za

Weather Chart:
Roll a D6 at the beginning of the game.

1: It is a nice sunny day in Ol’ Hickory Flat.

2: A major sandstorm hits Hickory flat. After a long dry spell the winds pick up and Hickory flat disappears under a cloud of sand. Visibility is next to nothing.              
Apply the following penalties for shooting*.
- Add +1 for to hit on short range (6+)
- Add +2 for to hit on long range (10+)
*The penalties do not apply inside buildings.

3: Its raining cats and dogs. After the last dry spell it finally started to rain but the rainfall is very heavy this year turning the dry streets of Hickory flat into enormous mud pools.
Apply the following penalties for movement*:
- All movement is -1”.
- You can only move once per turn. The mud makes running impossible.
* The penalties do not apply on solid ground i.e. inside or on top of buildings and on pavements.

4: Dawn. It is early morning and it won’t be long before sunrise. It is still dark though in round 1 and 2.
Apply the following penalties for shooting*:
- Add +1 on the to hit rolls in turn 1 and 2 (6+/9+).
* It is very early in the morning so all the shops are closed (and dark) even the Saloon and the Sheriff's Office. The penalties also apply inside buildings.

5: Dusk. It is late in the afternoon and it won’t be long before dusk sets in. It will be dark from round 3.
Apply the following penalties for shooting*:
- Add +1 on the to hit rolls in turn 1 and 2 (6+/9+).
* The shops close in round 3 so the building will be dark. Apply the penalties inside buildings. Note that the Saloon and the Sheriff's Office are in full business and are fully lid so the penalties do not apply inside the Saloon and the Sheriffs Office.

6: It is a nice sunny day in Ol’ Hickory Flat.


Herman the Vulture:
If a miniature is wounded and comes within 1" of the Vulture role a D6.
On a roll of 1 the Vulture is attracted by the smell of blood and attacks. You suffer 1 wound.
On a roll of 6 the Vulture also attacks and he picks out an eye.
For the rest of the game you have a -1 penalty for shooting on the to hit chard.
On a roll of 2-5 the Vulture is startled by the sudden noise and flies away.

Old Woofer:
If a miniature comes within 1" of the dog role a D6.
On a roll of 1 apply the “a dog is a mans best friend” rule. The dog will accompany you for the remainder of the game. In close combat you add +1 to your die roll.
On a roll of 6 the dog bites you in the leg. You get a -1” penalty on movement for the remainder of the game.  
On a roll of 2-5 the dog is startled by your presence and runs D10” in random direction (scatter).

Looking good. I will steal them. Shouldn't #4 "Won't be long before sun up"? instead of sunset?

BTW, got a few big things in store for Fistful of Lead in the near future. Stay tuned

:D Hope other people will like them. Groove and I rolled a 4 yesterday. It accounted for some extra misses in round 1 and 2.

Finished painting the detritus. This is the last of the distractions... I have to start painting me some Cowboys.

Some barrels, Sacks and crates. I glued them into the carts. The one bottom right needed the base finished (which I did in the mean time  ;)).




Some "fresh" fruit, veggies and fish for the store (again glued to the cart)




The town safely tucked away in the cupboard  :D.



Now it is time for some sleep  ;D and I will try to start work on the Earps tomorrow/today  lol

Za

Thanx Elbows, the Ainsty stuff is very good and it adds something to the table. Cowboys are next because I have a finished town but almost no inhabitants... Hickory Flat is a ghost town right now  8) Anyone know how to make some tumbleweed  lol

Great stuff, Za.
Those small 'filler' pieces of terrain are what really helps bring a table to life.
 :-*

Between yourself and the other fellas on here, you have made me take the plunge.
Some Cowboys were bought a while ago and last week saw me purchase the town of Angel Falls from Bobble.
I will be making some small alterations during the next month to make it all fit into my terrain set-up and will post it up when its done.
And, of couse, add some more to it!



You are all very bad boys on this board.

Thanks, and yes we made you do it didn't we  lol. You bought yourself a very nice town there Mason, it will only get nicer when you work your magic on it. Which cowboys did you buy?

Thanks, all the detritus is very nice but I also like the fruit and fish the most. You will see it in the flesh soon  :D. After the last game the outlaws sought shelter in the saloon and your Pinkerton will have to drive us out to get your gols back  ;).

I hope to start some work on the buildings soon, as the lack of good light makes it difficult for my eyes to handle painting miniatures, but buildings are easier being so big.
 ;)

As for Cowboys: i went for some foot and mounted Foundry figures being sold on the Bazaar.
A little on the small side, but should be fine.

I absolutely agree with the detritus being a huge component to fleshing a table out.  I always set up my tables in a certain order: terrain (hills/rivers, etc.)...major buildings...then major foliage and then detritus to flush it all out.

I have the same ainsty stuff and have done mine up in a very similar fashion.





Great pieces!
