Chariots Rampant the Mycenean challenge AAR of post Covid battle.

Suitable additions.

Possible for a quick tutorial on the olivepress build (materials mainly)?

[Dr. Zombie]

The press is mainly buildt with foamboard as that was what I had by hand. I cut out some circles removed the cardboard glued them together and gave them a sanding.

[AWu]

I am not to convinced on the barrels, but the olive press and the amfores are spectacular!!

I like your houses  too!

[Dr. Zombie]

I am not really satisfied with the barrels myself. And now that someone else has mentioned them I think I am going to rip them of and replace them with something else.

[Dr. Zombie]

I have finished the olive farm. By popular demand (well one at least) here is a combined photo.


Prince Paris is out shopping for olive oil to grease his hair and and biceps.


The olive press.


And the reworked well. Now with pottery in stead of barrels.


Prince Paris on his way home to get re-oiled.

[AWu]

Much much better.

I dont think barrels were a thing form another 1500 years

I seriously am willing to paint some Myceneans because of your great project!

[Erik]

And I now seriously know never to forget a miniature at your place unless I want them mocked on this forum.

That being said the terrain look absolutely fantastic. I can’t wait to try it out. Lots of god scenario possibilities.

[AWu]

You are doing Trojan war in reverse.. Paris was captured and taken from Troy ? : )

[Mad Doc Morris]

Very atmospheric set of scenery. Much better without barrels made of staves (which were probably a later, Celtic invention).

Now you just need a Conan figure powering that Wheel of Pain™.

[Dr. Zombie]

So on Wednesday we will have our next game. And I have set up the table.


The keen reader will spot a new piece of scenery. Let's take a closer look at it.

Some form of sacred ritual place.

And look! Prince Paris has sacrificed a poor innocent lamb. To ensure a good olive harvest.


And I have begun work on a piece of scenery that we are sorely missing. It won't be ready for Wednesday's game though.


I think I am going to paint it marble if skill allows. I have practiced on the altar.

[von Lucky]

Nice one. Won't help you with the game though.

[Erik]

Very nice. Looking forward to our game. Good to see the Prince in a more flattering scene than the usual.

It look like a good setting for the "defending the indefencible" scenario.

[Dr. Zombie]

It look like a good setting for the "defending the indefencible" scenario.

That was exactly my thought.

Man that table is really coming together nicely.  Love the sacrifice rock.

Love this thread.
Great start on your horse.
To save time, could you use a My Little Pony toy?
