Sneaky Git of Eight Peaks

Hello! I finished one of My Blood in the Badlands Generals: Sneaky Git of Eight Peaks, the largest goblin in the Old World...



Sneaky Git has intriqued he's way to one of the Warlord Skarsnik's generals. He impressed everybody with he's size, heavy Black Orc armor, and "Neck Snappa", he's great axe.  But nobody knows the truth behind this enormous gobbo, except two little goblins... Sneaky and Git, who together actually are "The" Sneaky Git of Eight Peaks...


These two lucky little critters found some dusty remains of a slayed Black Orc somewhere around the Border Princes. On their way back home, as they got closer to their tribe, they started to get worried of getting robbed, and losing the great loot.


That's when they came up with a genious plan (in Goblin standards), to punch two peep holes in the armours chest plate. Then, as Sneaky got on Git's shoulders and they jumped in the armour, they became the most fierce Goblin there ever lived. No one would dare to rob them now...


Cherry on the cake was the great axe "Neck Snappa", and some white linen (feared color among the green skins:) that they grabbed from a sorry travelling merchant. They walked through the gates of Karak Eight Peaks as a born legend...


And it even fits in the hordes ranks like a glove... Sneaky Git was kit bashed without any green stuff involved, so it was nice and fast project. It brings little humour and story to he's army. I like it :) Bye now!

Back with the Hobby, and Siege of Mount Bloodhorn

Hi there... It's been a while since my last posting. I had pretty big drawing project going on that had my full attention for three weeks, but now the deadline is reached and pictures ready for printing :) Now I'm planning on what minis to paint next. I have many good ideas, so it's hard to decide where to start.

Meanwhile, I'll post some older battle pics from the "Siege of Mount Bloodhorn", that we played few weeks ago. It was an season end game from our Blood in the Badlands campaign. It was played simultaneously with six players, on three different tables. Here's how the action looked like...


This is my defending force for the "Gates of Ekrund" scenario (2250pts). Infantry units are not all presented full size for there's no room on the fortress walls... I usually have ten models in a unit and mark the actual unit size and casualties on my armylist.

First action pics are from the "Bitterstone Mine" scenario, fought between Empire and Skavens. It was fought as "Battle for the Pass" with Underground rules. Winner would emerge on the Gates of Ekrund as relief forces, bringing all surviving models on the table.







Second pics are from "Stonemine Tower". It was played as a Watchtower scenario between Chaos Dwarfs and Wood Elves. Here also the winning, surviving models were moved to the Gates of Ekrund as relief forces.








And finally the "Gates of Ekrund" scenario. It was a normal siege scenario, except the relief forces were the survivors from other tables, so you didn't know if it was friend or foe coming :)

 


 Dwarf siege tower was burned down right away with "Flaming Ammuntion" siege equipment. Little clumsy dwarfs were running out of it, with their beards and asses on fire. It was like a 4th of July for the Greenskins...


Pump Wagons pumping themselves towards absurdly heavy dwarf artillery, that was dropping the greenskins down the fortress walls like flies. And my rocklobba sideways on top of the tower, not taking cover, but missfired...


Relief forces arrived in turn five... All friendly for the Orcs!!! Hooray! Woodies and Empire forces were all slayed on the slopes of Mount Bloodhorn.


As a last attempt, dwarf miners bravely entered the fortress... just to find themselves between a rock and a hard place. Giant jumped up and down, and thunder stomped them out of the game in one combat round. Splat! There was nothing left to chew for my Generals pet wyvern "Baity". And now all enemies were down...

The game was awesome, and we all had a great time. And of course the season ending victory for the Forces of Destruction tasted good! More Blood on the Badlands later... Bye now!
