A day of Shattered Shields

Post by Jeremy »

I’ve been working on some some home brew fantasy rules for a while now and took them for a test drive today. Happy with the results, still need a lot of tweaking and more test play. So much I wanted to add, but deliberately kept it today simple.

Artorius and some mercenary Dwarves had to get the tax collections across the table. Unfortunately Cynewulf and his vile allies thwarted their plan.

Pics in no particular order because Postimages is an arse and loads them in order of size

It does look rather splendid, despite the outcome.
So, what are these rules Jeremy, what’s the driving mechanism, how many points for a Gobbo army? The people need answers!

Brilliant! Figures, terrain &, obviously, the game itself are first rate.

Thanks chaps!

John, the history is that around June I started penning down some thoughts I had around rules and slowly worked on them. Then, chatting to Ralph Plowman a couple of weeks back, it turns out he’d had similar thoughts so we’ve started collaborating.

Essentially Lardy rules, CoC activation mechanism, Dux Brit troop types and then a mixture of SP2 and II, plus a healthy dose of made up shit and new stuff. They were fun, magic worked ok and I thought it looked decent. Might never come to anything, but at least it gets my toys on the table.

Points for goblins will be out by Easter. Promise.
