The Devil is loose!
When word was received that Helgin was leading a raid into the lands of the Britons north of the wall, Prince Michael was dispatched to warn the people and to hold the bridge over the Blue Taip River while they gathered their goods and moved towards safety.

Odd that Dearg Mhor and his Picts haven't joined in......

Orange devils!
ReplyDeletehmm,these cheap films, I wonder if that was the lighting or did they use that cheap fake suntan lotion before filming hoping for that weathered sea raider look?
Deletei do worry about the group guarding the bridge. maybe it's the pictures, but they seem a bit outnumbered.
ReplyDeleteAh but the enemy can only cross the bridge 2 warriors wide. All the front rank men have to do is keep beating the one they fight, again, and again..

Keep that and I might start embedding heroic but ominous autoplay music!
DeleteRoss you have an uncanny knack/ gift of summing up all that is glorious about toy soldiers in your photos. I look forward to the forthcoming game...
ReplyDeleteVery king Alan, I just try to capture and share the picture in my head.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Alan, the look of the thing is great. I like the way the hexes sort of merge into the scenery - worth imitating, I feel!
ReplyDeleteThanks. I knew I wouldn't always be using the hexes so I wanted them to be easy to see when using them without intruding when not being used.
DeleteWaffling, or being flexible, is one of my more useful talents
Nice! Yes, the hexes are fairly unobtrusive when not wanted.
ReplyDeleteThese days I often use them as a rough measuring guide when not using gridded rules. 4" from side to side, 2" to the middle, 1" is halfway to the middle. Close enough.
