15mm 'God of Battles' fantasy wargaming project (Army Shots on PG. 6!)

[Jevenkah]

Awesome! That looks fun. Congrats on finding more folks to game with. Nice paints on the skellies, too.

You say that's a mat you're playing on? Did you make it? And about how heavy is that 3'x3' size you used?

Thanks!

 The game looks great.It is also one of the first times I have seen one of the Four armed Demons from my range in a game.He does work well for the scale.

[Torben]

Cheers everyone!

Yes, it is a mat. It doesn't weigh all that much - it's made of furniture fabric (it's called panama fabric here in DK) and I just followed this guide:

It's easy as chips to make and seems to be rather durable as well

[Quirkworthy]

Looks great Torben.

The Game does look SPLENDID! Congratulations on the expanding number of gamers...shows are a fine way of picking up new Guys & Gals.

Looks great, are we really up to three GoB players now locally?

We most certainly are He just ordered himself a big mess of orcs and goblins. Although, he does live in Fredericia I'd still call that locally

[Dr. Zombie]

I have ordered the rules and once they have arrived and I have given them a read through ill paint up an army also. Though I am not exactly local...
But perhaps for Åcon I'll have an army ready.

[affun]

For some reason I got a sudden urge to paint up a 15 mm army as well. (Its propably because your armies look great, and the game looks even greater)
Not sure I am local, though I am a dane.

Ive been pretty interested in the God of Battles rules, since the book looks gorgeous.

Are those 20mm washers for the bases, or should I go smaller?

[Torben]

We're slowly building up some guidelines for GOB15. What we do know works best is as follows:

• Models should be mounted on a 18mm washer (or 20mm roughly)
• Mounted Models should be mounted on a 30mm washer (or equivelant)
• All ranges should be halved

As for being local, then both you and Dr. Zombie are from Århus? I know - since I'm part of the local club - that we're going to have open on saturdays in the future, so we'd have the locales and could muster 4-5 people to join in and fight battles on a given Saturday; should I start setting something like this in motion?

It isn't that expensive getting to Vejle by train... and I know Dr. Zombie does have a car

[Torben]

Oh and I got my first 36 points game in tonight against Duncan:



Although we had to break my house rule about putting unpainted miniatures on the board, somehow that didn't really matter:



It was a good game and the Undead are most certainly a force to reckon with. We found that the terrain we used was a bit too much on the heavy side and we're looking into making a generic terrain table that fits our current selection. While we like the idea of the army specific terrain, both Duncan and I agreed that it would be better to build something that can be used across games and settings, seeing as neither of us like building terrain that much

[dijit]

The more the merrier!

Thanks for a good game Torben, even if I did get thrashed! GoB really is scratching that fantasy battle itch at the moment, a grand little game.

[affun]

That game looks pretty neat!
But yeah, Im from Århus. I currently play the big W down in FROB every tuesday.

Im not sure it would be economically viable for me to go to Vejle every saturday, unless I can hitch a ride of course, since I am a jobless student, but Id be very interested in trying out the game.

I've been looking around for some 15mm figure manufacturers, and will propably buy some stuff when I have money next friday. The Corvus Belli 100 years war miniatures look pretty tempting.

Oh, sorry I meant to say that there's at least one saturday that I know of where we can get free access to a big venue and play games, not every single saturday

Oh, sure. Well, you should definitely set things in motion then Im busy until the 12th, though (Exams). After that, Ive got plenty of time
