OAAH. Trojans and Amazons vs Hades undead

More pre-OGAM Winter Olympics mix & match.

Unlike the first 2, Hades hordes come from a wide variety of suppliers and lots of mix n matching!







Bulk is Alternative Armies.  I went a bit mad, adding extra bits to make tower shields.  I also "roughed" some up to make generics that you'll see as everything from Achaeans to Scottish chiltrons.  

Cavalry came all axe armed, so I arm-swapped with spearmen.  new unit of axemen, beefed up with Splintered Light beauties.



Love the chariots, keep getting more.  I got the Irregular one out of curiosity, swapped horses with an Alternative Armies.  The single charioteer is the top half of an RPE beastman standard.  More to come!

Needs a bit of inking, washes, contrast sort of thing.

Hades.  ALL this time off, lying around with festive funk then the lurgi-.  you'd think I'd be bothered to point them, but oh no-.  And this lot is mostly lifted from my Halloween game.

The Game.  Ramped it up to 11/12 a side.  We could go all out for 15.  The other hand, we did one game.  So- 10ish and 2 games, 11-15 one game.

Amazons are more colourful,  Trojans darker, more uniform.  Difficult to see such detail when they're right under your nose.

Large boar standing in for a chariot- cheat!

The baddies, looking a lot less dark now I'm rubbleing the bases.

Skelly centaurs come out to party.

Now the ladies advance.

The rough ground has an effect.

See Spot Run!

Clash of chariots!

But the victory was short lived, crushed under the constructs tootsies.

Bony ponies party and play!  Doing well-.

Rewenge is hot on their hooves.

Spot in the rough, scuffing feet?

Skeely centaur archers assaulted by young ladies!

Chariots deploy tactically.

Crunch!  When big bones and Trojans collide.

A collection of bits.

Sometimes this game can feel like chess- blocking moves, layers & depth.  Then developing a wave of moves & combats.

Can you imagine it?  Girlies running behind you with their sharp little sticks--.

He won!

More of 'em!  First they throw the pointy sticks-

Then they smash them all to bits with their pointy sticks!

I had this plan, work the nasty around the back and hit the general.

Seems a little one-sided-.

So hit the small unit first!

Exchange of missiles.

Combat.  So-  I do very, very badly.  Mine have pointy stick envy.  I kill 1, so lose the combat as the girls kill 2.  But they melt. 

Now its my turn to get rolled up.

Now the bright bronze bites!

The big nasty puts the odds in my favour.  IF I can get them to work together.

That rag-tag collection gets hoovered.

Hang on, I'm outnumbered!

Never underestimate massed javelins.  The axe unit goes in.

Time for Spot.

As per last week, we moved attached skirmishers with unit.  Here they're peeled of to counter Spot.

My general and rabble still at the back.  Tony has positioned his cavalry well.

Go!  Aarse!  They're Q4- fail and turnover.

Heavy javelin go in against their counterparts and get cheesed!

Spot goes in on reaction!  He dies, but the general is down to 1 life.  Tony was a bit - with his spear.

Cavalry hit my rabble and come off poorly!

Having missed out, the spear chop up my axemen.

Hah!  We have you now!

The game has turned 90*

I need to get that damn monster moving.  Airmobile!

Spear move towards enemy  general, action and reaction and they crunch!

Um-.  The chase is on!

Monsters- javelins- never a good outcome!

Top left-

Flank attack, but they don't win.

2 can play at this game!

Time to mop up-.

A chase, but a reaction & turnover and they're in!

The general goes down in a hail of unclean javelins.

Good game!  Plenty of time as we only got one in.
