Dragon Rampant Christmas Game

At some point recently - just before Christmas probably, but possibly not, time is immaterial at this point of Twixmas - James organised a Christmas game of Dragon Rampant. Although more were invited just four stout souls were available at the appointed hour to begin an epic quest to get their hands on the Ice Kings Frozen Baubles.

I bought along my Night Goblins, James had Nordic Trolls, Matt was Norse style Dwarfs and Chris channelled a winter of discontent with a War of the Roses type knightly force.

Apologies for the poor picture quality - I only had my phone with me.

The table was scattered with objective markers - some were the Ice Kings Chilled Crown Jewels, others would be servants of the Ice King who would attack and still others would be the Norse Gods themselves who would aid your quest.

James' Troll leader had some War Pugs. Presumably to deal with the other generals gathered in their masses.

The Wizards tower James made having bought it in "kit" form at Crisis a few years ago - it's all blue foam cut to shape.

The mat is also all James' work - white polar fleece with roads burned in.

The monsters and gods, ready to help or hinder.

They had wisely bought some Trolls and some Spiders.

Norse Dwarfs (a mix of Conqueror and Vendel - now Thistle and Rose)

The spiders sped off in search of loot.

While the Dwarfs plodded forward.

The annoying Dwarf archers were first to get their hands on the Ice Kings frosty nuggets.

The spiders also grabbed a chilled jewel.

In the woods the Night Goblins disturbed some hunting dawgs.

Who chased the little green men away.

The trolls headed for the Dwarfs.

The Ice King himself (lovely Lucid Eye model) appeared to try and protect is sub zero valuables.

The trolls got battered by the Dwarfs.

Norse trolls in James' pay tried to storm the tower.

While some of his Elves skulked among the frozen branches.

In the end the Dwarfs had accrued the most icy loot and were declared the winners.
