KoW Vanguard: Return to the Fray

With the relaxation of the current lock-down rules Mr T and I where able to take advantage of being in a 'Support Bubble' to meet up for our first game in a long time.
We'd decided to move onto Kings of War: Vanguard as our next game and Mr T had managed to complete the bases on his Kingdoms of Men units in time for the game.

This was Mr T's first try at Vanguard so much of the evening was spent with me giving a meandering explanation of the rules and then we threw some models down and had a quick play to get used to the combat mechanics.

This was a somewhat historic moment being the first time Mr T had fielded a fully self-painted army with ten miniature works of art gracing the field of combat.

Now he now only needs to paint another 150 odd models to convert the strong start into a full Kings of War army, I wouldn't expect to see a post on that being completed for a very long time...

It also gave me a chance to break out the Undead again and for Mr T to learn the best way to kill the Undead is to knock them down and have someone move in to finish them off.

All in all it was great to get some dice in hand and push some models around in good company and having all painted armies always improves the spectacle.

Talking of painting I've also completed another Regiment of Sergeants to add to the Ostrogoth army.

So the army is coming along nicely and I already have around 2000 points worth.

I also took delivery of some more mud-brick scenery from Chris at Fogou models, the plan for these is to make semi-fortified wall sections to use with the rest of the buildings I got on the Kickstarter.
