Vikings

When I was mixing up the Perry and the Gripping Beast plastic minis I just had to build some vikings and make a first base of vikings in shield wall formation, they are based on a 8x4cm base, and I think that I have to make me some more...as a small side project...

Plastic minis...

The last days I have been building me some 28mm plastic minis for my Kalmar Union War - KUW Project...

I have some boxes of the Perry Bow/Bill and Mercenarys AND a box of Gripping Beast Vikings... so I tought I would try to mix them as the Swedish militia and Nobles during the 15th centery still used some old fashion equipment...like Axes and Great Axes:) I alsoe made me some Viking Archers using the perry archer arms...

Russian Post-Apocalyptic Zombies

I haven´t had much time to paint last week so I will during the week give you some pictures of my friend Oskars Russian Post-Apocalyptic Zombies Project...
...and yes on both your questions...he is the one that lured us "all" at the club to paint several hundred of 28mm TYW minis and He have made a Zombie project similar to this exactly 2 years ago, that time in 15mm...

The thing that started it all this time was the lovely 28mm minis from Lead Adventure
Oskar will only use the ones in gasmasks...if you dont use the right protection you will be a Zombie...

Today we have some pictures of the Heroes:)

Polish Army 13th Century

Here are some pictures of my 15mm Polish Army 13th Century DBA army AFTER they have been through the Extreme DBA Army Makeover and been rebased for Impetus:)

AAR Lithuanians vs. Polish

On our club meeting last monday we had a first game with my newly rebased Impetus armies. This was a small intro game as several of the participants haden´t played Impetus before.

We played on a 60x120cm board with a small village, a frozen field and some woods. Both armys was made up of 180 points.

Lithuanian Army
1xCL Lithuanian Nobles(*Fair General)
5xCL Lithuanians
1xFL Spearmen
CS:Average VDT 9/5

Polish Army
1xCP Polish Nobles(*Fair General)
2xCP Polish Knights
1xCL Horse Archers
2xT Archers
1xS Slingers
CS:Poor VDT:13/7

Here are a picture of the set up. The Lithuanians set up to the left and The Polish at the right. The Polish commanders was given the option to use there mounted Nobles as CM-Cavalry or CP-Knights...they choose the Knights...and they placed a Archer unit in the vilage to defend it...


Turn 1
The Lithuanians won the initiative and split there forces...a small one moving to the left flank, aiming for the village and a larger one moving to the right trying planing to move around the forest and attack the polish in the flank/back....

The Polish Just moved forward...the archers got to eager and tryed a doubble move and got disorder (the deadman marker at the back of the base...), the Horse Archers was sent to help out defending the village and the slinges occupying the wood on their left flank...


Turn 2
The Polish won the initiative...the Archers gathered them selfs and made a more cautious advance...The Nobles that were Impetuous was forced to wheele and move against the Lithuanian Light Horses...

The Lithuanians on the left flank moved closer to the vilage and the ones on the right flank splited up to be able to move around the forest...as they got to eager to reach their goal they all got disordered...but they managed to chase away the Polish Slingers in the progress...


Turn 3
The Lithuanians moved first on the left flank they moved in to close range of the Polish Horse Archers and started a exchange of fire...Javelins vs. Arrows... The Javelins proven stronger this time and the poor Polish Horse Archers fleed the field...On the Right flank the Lithuanian Light Horse started in Disorder but managed to move some anyway...

The Polish archers in the village moved out to meet the Lithuanian threat... The Polish Knights was forced by there impetuous to move against the nerest enemy unit started to split up and to move against both flanks AND to ride right trough the poor peasant archers...the confusion was total...


Turn 4
The Polish side won the initiative and continued to move against the closest enemy, over at the Village the Knights even managed to charge some Lithuenian Light Hose That chose to stand as they had some Polish archers in the line of retreat....The Lithuanian Light Horses was massacred bu the Knights...

Some of the Lithuanians started move bac´k to defent their camp and to force the Polish to split up there Knights even more...


Turn 5 and 6
In the heat of the battle I forgot to take some photos...the last one are just before we ended the game after 6 turns.

The Polish Knights continued to move after the Lithuanians that showering them with javelins before they were forced to recive the Knigthly charge (no room left to escape on) The Knights dident mamage to do much damage due to bad dice rolling.... So we ended the game then the gathered Lithuanina forces managed to kill of the Polish General with lots of javelins...
The Lithuanians lost 2VDT and The Polish lost 8VDT including the general....


All that participated seemed to have a realy good time and the rules worked fine even as almost all were beginners using Impetus, this will definitely be played again:)
