Midgard Moot 2

James staged the second Midgard Moot and asked if Matt and I would host our Glorantha game again.

Midgard Moot is a gaming day where just games of Midgard are played. James himself ran a campaign pitting Vikings against Saxons whilst various other folk (including Matt and I) stage participation games of various sorts.

Anyway here are all the pictures i took. First of our game. I've shared this before after we took it to Joy of Six last year. We had two great games with the Liberators freeing Pavis from the Lunar yoke in the first game and the Lunars turning back the rebellious barbarians in the second.

Here are some of the other games

Romans and Celts in the snow

Chum Dave's Lord of the Rings. Ruined for many by the shocking absence of Dwarfs riding goats, but not bad otherwise.

Norse Myth

Battle of Hastings

Jason and the Argonauts

A fantasy game using Warhammer Old World models and troop types.

The svelte figures and luxurious manes of hair are quite typical of the wargamer.

All the other games looked fantastic. A really good day of gaming. We had the only non-28mm game so it was good to demonstrate the flexibility of Midgard to deal with different scales. I expect there'll be some 10mm at next year's version given the current popularity of the scale within our group.

Warmaster Revolution : Kislev v. Ogres

 Our  Warmaster campaign seems to have rapidly lost momentum. One player has moved to Italy in order to avoid taking part and another Italian has surrendered without playing a single game. You are free to make up your own jokes based on stereotypes at this point.

Anyway, frantically persisting Andy and I met - he with his Ogres, me with my Kislev. He recently traded in his part painted metal Ogres for some resin ones that are more like the Warhammer Ogre figures. I rather liked the "characterful" nature of the metal sculpts and if I ever do an Ogre army I'd get some of those, but Andy disagreed. Anyway that's why his army is barely painted at all.

Here's the video version of events:

I didn't take many pictures and it was all a bit brutal, 

The Kislev horse arrives

More Kislev

Mournfangs - oooh!

I had more lancers having recently painted some

The horse pushed up

Yikes, Gorgers all up in our business!

They took some shots on the way in but...

The Mournfangs slaughtered the un-laagered war wagon and accompanying troops - I sent some lancers to help out

And took revenge on the Gorgers

But more Ogres were in my flank.

And in my front

And in my flank again

Well, you get the general vibe

The axemen resolved to sell their lives dearly in the village, but the game was up

That was nasty - Ogres hit hard and a couple of crucial failed rolls really made it hard for me.

Ah well, another good game though.
