15mm Wargaming for Fun and Sanity: FL Greenies bash Minge the Munificent

'ees 'at it igin! 'ees doinnit on porpoise I tells yer! I did some painting, nearly finished most but can't find hairspray to finish. Never mind.

Now here's a funny thing. I thought I'd used my Peter Pig Green Martians with Flying Lead. Not so, Rogue Stars, OHAA yes. Time to correct.

I bought the new Splintered Light Dark Elves. Couldn't resist, although not got the cavalry yet. These fit in very well with Peter Pigs elves. No, I haven't finished them yet. Going to add some sleds, the infantry for which and a small urban/adventurers force are both in the same stage of painting. I like the “spikey” style and dramatic poses. As the heavies have one lesser-armoured leg may consider adding pavise shields.

This is a continuation of last weeks, playing around with flyers. I think it's important that we share our failures as well as our successes. In this case, trying to use rules as not intended did not work.

The Game.
I took the Canal Martians and cavalry loving Tony the Green.
I got the initiative first in this exceptionally quick turnover game. I got some forward, but Tony got his cavalry and artillery moving on reaction.
