G...I think you are right - Hellhound and Chimera! <br /><br />Game board on top of low bar tables... The standing and bending over the tables might not have been so bad if there'd been room for a chair or two to sit on between getting up to move your guys around. But it was hard enough to move around without chairs, with chairs it would have been impossible! So I understand why there weren't. I would totally play there again, though - simply because it's a neat place (and so close to where I live!). I just might not sign up for four-round, one-day tournaments there! <br />timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09928949644765765070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9140646711960604590.post-31557471978596500472018-03-29T10:15:42.145-07:002018-03-29T10:15:42.145-07:00Thanks Dave!

Your army looks great, and getting bonus points for being "rare" helps too. <br /><br />I think that in the picture with the combined IG army the other guy has one chimera and one hellhound... although harder to tell the newfangled hellhound in pictures. <br /><br />And those tables seem pretty low for standing over all day!

I think there was a tank commander, a command post, snipers, Mortar (and possibly other heavy weapon) teams, and, of course the Mukaali riders - which look wicked cool. They pop up on eBay once in a while. If they were expensive when Forge World sold them, they are even more insanely expensive to acquire now! timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09928949644765765070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9140646711960604590.post-1202294121998838532018-03-26T06:06:55.986-07:002018-03-26T06:06:55.986-07:00Sounds like a good time was had by all and you won...Sounds like a good time was had by all and you won a game!

All looked pretty cool, but like most FW stuff to pricey for my blood at the time. <br />They even had some crazy looking Sand camel thing for their Rough Riders. <br />commissarmoodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17453787431294606707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9140646711960604590.post-3833513214739624002018-03-25T22:09:48.727-07:002018-03-25T22:09:48.727-07:00Thanks Millsy!

So this was basically half that on a table half the size...? <br /><br />It got me thinking about the kind of games I like to play, and I have to say, I'm much more interested in the smaller scale of things these days. I've had a lot of fun playing the games we've played with power levels of 20-30 (~400-600). I wouldn't playing with up to 40 or even 50 on our 4x4 table - though with 50 (~1000 points) that's going to start getting a bit crowded for my liking. <br /><br />That got me thinking about whether I really NEED all these Tallarn I've managed to gather up... Well... I guess NEED has ever really been what's driven my purchases or painting... so, I'm probably going to paint them all up anyway. Who knows, maybe I'll got out to an Apocalypse event/tournament someday and just flood the table with a hundred or so Tallarn Infantrymen! timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09928949644765765070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9140646711960604590.post-42116916884541839682018-03-25T20:23:52.903-07:002018-03-25T20:23:52.903-07:00Sounds like you had a good time and the best army ...Sounds like you had a good time and the best army award must have capped it off nicely. I think the fact some people didn't seem to recognise your army is a sign of their relative age. We grognards know Tallarn when we see them! I must admit the narrow tables looked painful - clearly a necessity given space considerations but must have turned everything into a head-to-head grind with little manoeuvre.Millsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17580692168847505881noreply@blogger.com
