Ghouls!

Well managed to get some painting done - some ghouls for Frostgrave and Dragon Rampant force (and possibly allies for Kings of War). 

First 6 of 12 done - ok paint jobs. All will be based onto 25mm mdf round bases. 

5 games workshop crypt ghouls picked up from the exeter wargames show last week and a mantic ghoul. Will do another 6 ASAP, then varnish and base. 

Must tidy the painting desk!

Show report

We undertook a short journey down the road to Exeter to the legionary show. Snake-eyes met DK, Steedo and myself at the show. 

Overall it seemed busier than last year. We spent sometime looking over the bring and buy where all but Snake-eyes found a bargain. After a mooching around the stalls for a bit we had a spot of lunch in the cafe - Steedo had lasagne with a fried egg on the side .....

Then we managed to get a couple of participation games in. 

First up The Walking Dead. 

I took on Steedo and Snake-eyes - using the basic set set. It was a fun game, the highlight for me was when Steedo tried to shoot a walker but managed a head shot on one of his own characters, which lead Derek to be swamped by walkers. The game was quick and we were given a figure for playing. Steedo then bought the starter set! Recommendation indeed. 

We then managed to get a game of Peter Pigs Men of Company B - Vietnam war. 

This pitted Snake-eyes and myself as the forces of freedom against DK and Steedo as the sneaky red Viet-cong. This was an interesting system with grid based movement, method of varying the game length (due to time constraints we sacrificed a turn) and different objectives for the sides. The Americans needing to search villages - the first 3 brought ambushes .....

The game ended with a victory to the VC. 

The haul from the show ...

A good day was had by all - still got a few things to get for Frostgrave and Dragon Rampant. 

The beginning of June we are off to games-expo uk! Should be good.
