Battle Report - Chinese Fantasy Skirmish (at last!)

[JollyBob]

Well you know what they say, mate...

If you've got it, stop scratching at it!

[Malamute]

Theres nothing wrong with my Wargaming Slippers thank you very much!

But I do think Jolly B's jewel encrusted, dice holding cod piece, that he was sporting that evening was a bit over the top.

i trust both the slippers and the cod piece/dice holder will be making an appearance at BLAM

Great looking stuff Bobby. I am really looking forward to a game

[JollyBob]

Cheers mate! Not long now, eh? Better stop nicking off for the weekend and get some painting done yourself!

Do you know, I forgot to say a big thank you to Svennn for sending me the two thatched buildings you can see in the village. They are great pieces, and provided a template for me to make the others.

Much appreciated, chap.

I missed this earlier, just want to add my praise for the game 

I will start my own Chinese mythology project next year

WOW! I just scoped this thread out and it is sweet, I really like the set up JB. I really dont know much about chinese fantasy, any links on the web or moves (dont have time to ready books with school) that would be good to see for insperation?

[JollyBob]

Cheers guys.

Moody, I based my game on crap 70s kung fu movies. Every DVD store bargain bin has a few, usually stuff you've never heard of.
But if you want titles, I recommend The 28 Bronzemen, Butterfly and Sword (an early John Woo movie, worth watching just for the final scene), Shaolin vs WuTang, Drunken Master, The Master With Cracked Fingers, and Snake and Crane Arts of Shaolin (the last three being some of Jackie Chan's best work).

Other than that, anything starring Bolo Yeung or Carter Wong would adequately convey the correct amount of stupidity I was trying to get into the game. 

Edited to add: Also check out Mr Vampire, Tsui Hark's Vampire Hunters and the Hammer Films classic Legend of the Seven Golden Vampires for the inspiration behind having an undead warband in my game.
