Hordes and Heroes WOTR: Tudor v Royalist

The idea of pitting 2 identical War of The Roses armies against each other is something that we have undertaken periodically in club games. I suppose it is the ultimate test of generalship in which the use of terrain features can often become the key element to deciding the outcome. The army composi...

Hordes and Heroes Fantasy: High Elves v Dark Elves

This scenario was set up as what might be called ‘a classic’ fantasy and hopefully a fun, entertaining game of the forces of light (High Elves), and dark (Dark Elves). Each army had one wizard and 4 generals and a total points cost of 250 points. Using our now traditional dice-off method the Dark El...

Norman v Saxon

This classic Saxon v Norman confrontation saw Chris’s Saxons pitted against my Normans across a terrain punctuated by small areas of woodland and small hills and escarpments. A single road weaved its way across from one table edge to the other which would in many ways justify the battle location. Th...

Samurai v Chinese

Tim and Chris pitted a 250 point Samurai army against my Chinese army of the same points value. The army compositions were very different in that the Samurai army had 10 units of expensive Samurai; 6 units of mounted, and 4 dismounted, with the rest of the 21 unit army made up of much cheaper units ...

Re: Napoleon area

Hi Swiftfang, welcome to the forum. Thanks for the suggestion about the Napoleonic range. Although we can consider this as a future project, our figure sculpture is very busy for the foreseeable future engaged in a list of other projects. He is currently sculpting Parthian figures to add to our expa...

Hordes and heroes Fantasy: Romano British v Orcs

Just for a novelty game we added some fantasy elements to a Romano British army (a wizard, a unit of treemen, giants and giant eagles), and pitted it against an Orc army. The Orcs had a plentiful supply of trolls, giants as well as green skins of various sizes. With one wizard each both sides would ...

Romano British V Saxon

This 240 point a side club game was staged on a quiet Tuesday night at the Forest Outlaws club. A good number of the regulars were unable to attend for various reasons and so Tony and I took the opportunity to have a one-on-one game. Chris did arrive later, but by then our two armies were already fu...

Re: Flat or Pointy orientation?

Hi, The 'point v flat' debate has been raging for many years within the hex gaming community. After 25 years of hex gaming with miniatures I am firmly in the point facing camp, although there are certainly periods such as WW1 and 2 in which I still favour flat facing of vehicles etc. The latest edit...

Hordes and Heroes Ancients; Greeks v Republican Roman

This epic game was based on the battle of Ascalum 279BC, and was fought using Tony’s 6mm collection of Greek and Roman miniatures. The terrain table was approximately 10 foot by 5 foot and included the river over which the Roman army must cross in order to engage the Pyrric Greek force. IMG_1529s.JP...
