Painted Soldiers Play Better

A blog for painting historical wargaming miniatures. Periods covered include the chariot era, classical world, medieval period (Clash of Empires), colonial Africa (specifically Sudan), Old West and World War 2 (Rules of Engagement). As all gamers know, painted soldiers perform better on the tabletop than unpainted ones. It's just a scientific fact. The dice gods respect painted armies and frown upon heretical, lazy or impatient players that don't treat their armies with love and care.

Blood Bowl Season Starts!

Spartak Newport kicked of their assault on the Welsh Amateur Nuffle Championship with a dominant 3-0 victory over former champions, Tomb Giants.

Tomb Giants blamed their hopelessly static defence on a heavy defeat at Spartak Newport. Vercingoaterix rounded off an easy win following TD's from Creepy Kevin and the opener from Khorne the Sheep. One nil up at half-time, Spartak employed an offensive formation to defend their lead. The Giants' lines were easily penetrated after their forward line was pinned in place and the superior speed and skill of the Spartak team reduced the Tomb Kings to no chances to score whatsoever. Spartak lineman Harold Sheepman praised his team's disciplined and aggressive defensive line-up and perfect kicking performance.

Dave's tomb guardians were hopeless, often using a reroll each turn. Next match is against veteran W.A.N.C. vegetarians, Quorn Eaters of Khorne in the 1st round of the Firestorm United Conferences Cup.
