The adventures of Ibn Scrivs at Colours 2013
« on: September 16, 2013, 08:00:00 PM »
This weekend I took my Almohads to the Warhammer Ancient Battles Medieval event held at the Colours 2013 show.

I had five great games against five excellent opponents and eventually finished in eighth place.



I've done a report of all my games, more photos and a round up of the event over at the Scrivsland blog

Great rep. Bloody shame that you found yourself fighting all those shooty armies.

Still, count your blessings you didn't bump into the Hussites!!  :)

Thanks chaps, and it's a small mercy I managed to avoid being shot to pieces by the Hussites.

I was trying to make you feel a bit better.... I'll try again, at least you didn't have to face the AoC Uber-Teutonic list  ;) :).

I've added a secret weapon to the army for Derby - I've just painted a dozen camels!

Now ya got 'em!  :D

At least you're playing with the right spirit Paul.. that counts for a thousand victories IMHO  8).

BTW, is it the old lists that tend to be used at tourneys or the new AoA lists? I ask as I'm interested in attending some of the none too competitive tourneys but I don't own the 'new' AoA lists (which have of course sold out!)

It seems to be mainly the new lists now. As they are sold out, I'm sure I could scan you some relevant pages.

That might be a way forward  ;) :). Though, of course, I don't even own a list of what armies are available. i guess Christian Spanish (1100's) is a good place to start  :D.
