A brief flight of fantasy……

As a brief interlude from historical gaming we decided to throw my Tallarn force into the deepest jungle on a planet far far away……. Sadly the jungle was infested with all manner of lizard creatures !

Although there were technically five objectives the lizards and their thralls appeared more intent on killing  the fine human warriors who had inadvertently entered their jungle. The scene was set could the fire power of the Tallarn kill enough lizards before they got into combat !

Multi coloured lizards race across the table

They appear to have dinosaurs as well 

The men folk dig in and let lose with their supporting artillery

We were using xeno rampant as an easy ruleset, the Tallarn as light infantry get quite a lot of free movement and some free shooting, the lizards foolishly haven’t invented long range weapons other than a few rudimentary blowpipes. 

The Tallarn have tanks too. I thought I had taken more photos than I did, anyway, anybody who deployed on the left of the river got eaten pretty quickly, but the Lizards really struggled to break into the tank. The heavy support weapons in the centre killed lizards in their droves.

On the right a titanic struggle took place which in the first phase went to the dino, who knew they were so tough ! luckily the warriors were able to call in support weapons who drove the dinosaur back and then eventually brought it down.

A lot of blood was split in the jungle but in the end a Tallarn victory, firepower winning out, but it looked pretty sketchy for a while. Those warriors that fell in battle will be mourned, this small portion of the jungle is at least clear for now. 🙂 (no actual lizards were hurt during this battle)

As the weather has been rubbish I have contented myself with painting 

Commanded shot for the ECW

Finished off some penal colony imperial guard to support my Tallarn, these are Wargames Atlantic figures with some kit basing using GW stuff

And just this morning I finished off some smaller ECW cannons…..nearly there for the ECW

Another game planned for Friday which will hopefully get the Naps back on the table.
