Thanx, Bezzo for your kind words...;)

I painted 4 parts of the holy family.
The are religious statues wich are part of the campaign backstory, in fact the reason why the 5 powers came to the area in the first place.
As a game mechanic the statues are a kind of tiebreker: if at the end 2 or more parties have the same number of parts of the holy family, th one with the omst past parts is the winner.
And they give an advantage, if you take the risk, brigning them to a battle.



And a few WIP shots.
Bought the stuff in a nearby hobby shop.





Cheers,
Don

Always exciting to see an update on this thread.
It's nothing, sir. Just a burn from a ray gun.

Finished my citywall for now. Needs a little bit more fine brush work.
And maybe I will get some greenstuff to all the gaps... ::)

La Bomba is a lovely piece of work. Once again I envy your painting of the wood.

First I'd heard of Do or Dice. Unfortunately I'm committed that evening. So will need to see if I can slip away during the day.

I managed to play a small game after work today.

We played on a really tiny mat, just 60x75 cm. Each player got 5 units wich started off the board.

Here are just a few impressions.



I got some early victory points for being the first at the objective (holy statue).



We played mostly in the conrfield with some shooting on the flanks.



A great game taking in account that we had so few units and so little space...



In the end I got my foot knights in combat, who won the day...:)



A very cool and satisfying after work game. 

Cheers,
Don

Yip, it comes with the kit (I know as I bought it two days ago... going to paint it during the Easter holi).

Great looking (small) game DV.

The game was part of the campaign?
