Here is the map from the article
and the nice little black and white picture that illustrated the page with the map on, I spent hours back in 1983 staring at this picture with a magnifying glass trying to work out what figures were what. There are more troops than in the army lists that's for sure.
and my terrain so far. This is just a mock up, and the buildings may be re-painted, as will the roads etc. I need to make a wizards tower (or buy one), some hills and a walled tomb area among other things but it's a start. The original battle was fought on a 4' x 8' table but my mancave is only big enough for a 4' x 6' so it looks a bit compressed
Should I get a GW battlemat, or one of the old fashioned flock railway mats?
I have a battle mat you can have gratis. They're definitively superior to roll-up mats as they can be folded and don't really crease.
ReplyDeleteThe set-up is looking very good. I've never seen WD45, but always have always enjoyed Joe Dever's articles in the old issue I do own.
Gee whiz, that is so kind of you Gareth, I will certainly take you up on the offer, nd maybe I have some figures you are after I can send. Mail me hearthweruATgmailDOTcom, and we can swap addresses. I have been wondering" should I get one" for ages, so it's worked out well.
DeleteEnjoyable post,great table and splendid set up!
ReplyDeleteI hope the mat works well.
I am often delighted by the generous fellow bloggers we blog with.
Warhammer 2nd ed arrived & was collected by my wife from the post office today.Looks good on first impressions this evening...
