It's Christmas Eve and the village is deep in snow so of course my thoughts turn to... outdoor wargaming! Actually, no, these are old pictures I found whilst idly scrolling through iPhoto.
In May 2004, Gus Woodward and I were visiting our friend Andy Sangar when we noticed the paving slabs in his garden were just the right size for a Hordes of the Things Game. Naturally we just happened to have a toolbox full of figures with us!
The armies are Gus's - 6mm models from the Irregular Miniatures fantasy range. Here we see the Goblins (foreground) and the Dwarves drawn up in battle array.
On full-sized bases for 15mm figures the large numbers of 6mm figures look impressive. These are Goblin Warband.
Here my flanking force, a large (if suspiciously rectilinear) pack of wolves sets off to encircle the Dwarves.
Here is the Dwarf main battleline - Shooters in the front ranks backed up by Blades.
Two Dwarf Hero elements. The one on the left (as we look) is the Dwarf General held aloft on his shield.
I can't recall the exact result but here's the final shot I have. Clearly the Dwarf left has collapsed whilst the Dwarf Heroes have made mincemeat of the Warbands that faced them.
