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

[Torben]

Sounds good Torben. I've made sure that my social secretary hasn't booked me too much this Christmas I've just one unit to paint and another to finished then I've got 36pts of Blood Gorged and am itching to start my 1000 Tribes.

That sounds really great Duncan! Let's see when we can find the time for a little fight then - I'm also hoping that there's going to be a gift certificate for miniatures under the tree tonight as I'm looking at adding a few Quithillian Empire elves to my army (well, mainly Human Vassal levy as they can also double for Mercenaries, but seeing as I'm already using the Great Eagle from the QE...) and assorted stuff from RPE in the new year.

My mind is already churning and considering yet another army - probably Mercenaries this time around

The Armies look WONDERFUL...IMPRESSIVE work on such tiny minis. The Tree Guy is UBERCOOL. VERY WELL DONE!

[dijit]

I have to confess that very unusually for me, the dwarves are gathering more and more interest. But before them I've promised myself that I'll get both my Blood Gorged and 1000 tribes painted first. That may or may not take a while.

[Torben]

Guess we need to start making good on our promise to paint together more?

Lovely collection. Especially love the wood elves.
I have just ordered some wood elves from Eureka for my 15/18mm elves:-

I see you are from Denmark ( i live near Dortmund in Germany). Do you ever go to Tactica in Hamburg? I am unfortunatly not there this year but it would be graet to get both our collections on one table sometime.

Tose are some very nicely painted elves!

We (Torben and i) have talked about coming to Tactica this year.

Great work, 15mm is getting harder to resist all the time with projects like these.

Nicely accomplished! I'm going to be cynical and misanthropic here, but the sea elves (designed to shoehorn one of Foundry's less well-conceived fantasy ranges?) are one of the heavier pieces in the pile of little things that puts me off GoB. It's so brilliantly obvious to proxy them as wood elves and friends that I'm kicking myself that it never occured to me. Great job with both those welvish armies. (I wonder if it's possible with high elves...?)

To be honest I think this is where Jake Thornton has been very clever, as the army lists are sufficiently flexible to easily fit other races and armies. Also the ability to take up to a third of the points as allies means that most armies can be made to fit.

Sounds like a decent topic for it's own thread.

Last night Duncan and I got together for a game of GOB, which saw me use my Wood Elves for the very first time. I wrote about it in detail on my blog as can be found right here.

Must buy army now!

[dijit]

Thanks Torben for a great game (it was great because I won convincingly), and also for showing pictures of my painted minis, which I've not got round to taking pictures of yet.

[Torben]

@Dijit: It was indeed a great game! But next time my Seawood Elves won't fall into yet another meat grinder - next time you'll have to work for your victory! Or, well, work even harder

And, as the year comes to a close - I'll leave it with these two miniatures to be the last that I painted in 2013:



Happy New Years everyone!

Having just yesterday played a game with those 2 armies (I commanded dijit's evil horde against Torben with his fancy-pant elves   ), I have ordered the rulebook just now.

I plan to start playing with @Duregar using our respective LotR collections (Duregar has a substantial amount of Dwarves from before they went failcast), and then parallel to that build a force in 15 mm to play with the rest of Denmark  (and hoping to also influence others to use existing collections, be it Warhamster, Kings of War, or whatever fantasy minis they might own).
