Servants of Ra and Sarmatian Order clash

[Skrapwelder]

Back into some gaming In Her Majesty's Name last night. We played a quick Objectives match. Leadfool playing the Servants of Ra and I the Sarmatian Order. 250 points per side. The Followers of Ra were great in number and I decided right off the bat that it was going to be very difficult to win this on objective snatching. So instead I made it my goal to take out as much of the Servants command structure as possible.

The Servants split into two groups with the smaller of the two running a flanking movement on one objective and the larger coming up the middle of the street. The Sarmatians chose to meet the main force in the street. I parked one of my Squires on the objective there, daring Akhenaton to come and get it. With shotguns in defensive positions and Sir Bors with a Machine Gun and a firing line down the length of the street we were able to whittle down the Servants acolytes considerably.

Akhenaton and the Mummy came up the center. I attacked the Mummy with a Great Sword wielding knight and drew Akhenaton into a brawl where I was able to get four figures, including Sir Galahad, the faction leader surrounding him. Akhenaton is a tough old bird! Even ganging up on him the best I could do was keep him at bay while his servants made off with two of the objectives. I did manage to kill the mummy and about 6 of his followers and only losing one of mine before we had to call it a night. I think eventually Akhenaton would have fallen it would have been costly.

A few photos from the evening:

Had some serious fun as always.

Thank you.

The Sarmatian Order are made up mostly of figures I converted. You can see some of the work here:

Excellent as always Sir Skrapwelder 

I do like your Sarmatian force, they would be quite effective in IHMN Gothic's Carpathia.

Those Sarmatians are a treat.  Very inventive.  Fine sculpting too.

are the buildings all scratch built?
Smashing job !

[Skrapwelder]

All the buildings on this table are modifications made to some basic buildings I created molds for and cast in resin. I have molds for some basic Victorian buildings: a couple of warehouses, a basic terraced house and a few other bits and bobs.

I have more pictures of things I have done up on my website. The main page for this kind of thing is here:

You'll find more pictures in the sidebar pages as well.

Thanks,

I fielded lots of extra cultists and left behind the girl with the blades. It gave me lots of troops to carry objective markers and still have a main force capable of action.  Losing the mummy hurt, but losing all those cultists was hardly felt. they served we as meat-shields.  Cultists are like Doritos, they will make more.  

As always a great game with Skrapwelder and the terrain is outstanding.
