"At least, the sun will be on our backs," muttered Brogda the Red as he clutched at the rails of his chariot while Cumal his charioteer manouvered to the front of the Keltoi battle line. "May the Morrigan feast well today, and not on my innards!" For weeks, Keltoi scouts have followed the advance of an orcish host from the deep south. Now, the green horde of monsters have reached the outermost village of the Keltoi Irinae tribe. With only a vast grassy field separating the monsters from the village, Brogda and the Keltoi weaponsmen he could muster plan to meet the invaders at the village edge and hold them until reinforcing Irinae from other villages arrive.

Cracking stuff! I really like the tripod legged mechs and the sinister paint scheme youve used!

ReplyDeleteexcellent models and a better use for them than mageknight
ReplyDeleteThanks, a local shop's been selling the Mageknight Minions boosters for about a dollar. And I've been busy picking them up for a song and a dance:)
ReplyDeleteThe heroscape minis here are scarce though.
Where are the Biomech Warhounds from?
ReplyDeleteThe warhounds are from Heroscape.
