New work

In the couple of weeks after Game Day and Before Tactical Solutions Gaming, I finished up the All-Aerial Hordes of the Things Army. The army list is 2 Aerial Heroes (6 AP each), 5 stands of fliers (2 AP Each) and and 2 stands of Lurkers (1 AP each). Alternately, the army can be fielded as 1 Aerial Hero (6 AP) and 1 Magician (4 AP), 5 stands of fliers (2 AP) and 2 stands of Beasts (2 AP). You could also make it just the two aerial heroes and 6 stands of fliers, since everybody but the AH's has wings... The second configuration would give a little better bad going options.

The Full Army.

The alternate Beasts or Lurkers, there are two stands of these.

The command stand with a leftover medieval oriflamme, Duc of Orleans, IIRC. I used it because it has a swan (wings, y'know) on it....

The Female Aerial Hero, or alternately a Magician. The figure is from the Anima Tactics figures, painted per the drawing supplied with the figure.

The Male Aerial Hero, again from Anima Tactics, painted per the drawing supplied with the figure, because I lack imagination.... ;o)

HOTT at Tactical Solutions Gaming

We only had four players for the HOTT tourney. It was, after all, an historical gaming event.... I finished 1 win and 2 losses. The new Badger knights died ingloriously in both battles they fought. The Badger hero won a desperate final assault on the Undead Aerial Hero for my one win.

Somebody on the HOTT list asked for more details on Phil's mounted Elves, so I took some closeups and got some info. The figures are Grenadier, sculpted by ??? Naismith, who has been around sculpting minis for ages.

Below, Elven Heroes, one mounted, one not. There is a dismounted sword waver behind the mounted guy, hence the apparently two bladed sword.

Here are the two stands of Elven Riders.

This is a closeup of the Mounted Elven Hero. You can zoom in quite a ways before the picture pixellates, if you really want to....


The photo of all the mounted elves at the top includes the Elven Stronghold, a custom bit Phil did starting from an aquarium piece. Impressive, no?

Next con: TACTICAL SOLUTIONS GAMING

Northwest Historical Miniatures Gaming Society is a sponsor of Tactical Solutions Gaming Con. I expect they will make room for most anything as they are a fledgling con. If anyone is interested in attending or sponsoring an event, there is a contact page here. Another thing you could do to support the con is sprinkle links anywhere you can, 'cause a google search on "tactical solutions" gets you a bunch of arms dealers on page one and no sign of the con. If you notice a link in my labels for a while, that's why....

Update: Linkiness has The Miniatures Page's announcement and link to the con's page up to the last entry on the first page of google returns for Tactical Solutions. Still no sign of the con page itself. If any of you have a page, stick a link on it, and pass the link around in your e-mail until Google notices....
