Zulus by Wargames Factory (Part 1)

I need natives to play my Adventures in the Lost Lands campaign.

Wargames Factory's 28mm plastic Zulus come in a little box full of stuff (30 miniatures in a box!).




Each of the multi-part miniature (heads, arms, weapons and shields) is easy to assemble.


I put plaster inside the base to add weight.

Now I had to think how I'll paint them...

X-Wing

Last week-end I played three X-Wing games with François. The game is very fun, straightforward (a Wings of Glory like) and, of course, highly thematic. The Empire lost three times... François wrote a great battle report (in french) on his website.



Sometime you don't have enough dices in one box.
Fortunately François got two.

Nolan's last wills


A few days after Sir Edward Nolan's death his mistress, Peggy Moss, arrived in Mission St Mary. She met with Frank Mulligan and the other Dino Hunters. She wanted to go to Nolan's tomb to get back his last testament which indicates that Peggy is his heir... Of course, Sir Edward Nolan sister, Kate, doesn't agree...
All Nolan's friends are ready to help the pretty miss Moss.

Miss Peggy Moss
Peggy Moss, Frank Mulligan and our famous Dino Hunters:
from left to right, Evariste Mercier, Colin York,
William Ferguson, Klaus Haas, Malcolm FitzPatrick

The adventurers plunged into the jungle...
The tomb is in the middle. The adventurers are coming from
the right.

They soon got to the tomb...

... and discovered small herbivores nearby.





They tried a few shots with no avail.

Now it's time to dig...

But something is moving nearby.

It's Kate Nolan and her henchmen: firefight!



We played with the new In Sight Test:

 Klaus, Colin and Evariste were hit.

But Malcolm FitzPatrick killed two of the henchmen. William Ferguson wounded the third.

It's over. The adventurers took back the wounded to Mission St Mary with a very happy Peggy Moss and a crying Kate Nolan...


The Hunter of the Day: 2 kills 
An icy atmosphere...
A fun Adventures in the Lost Lands game with Christophe. All the minis are from Copplestone.

Mordheim at last...

I play Specialist Games for two decades now. My favorites are Warmaster and Epic but I like very much SpaceHulk, BattleFleet Gothic and Blood Bowl. Curiously I never played Mordheim since two or three weeks ago, when Seb organized a few games for 6 players. It was very fun.
