Spanish First Outing

Iberians had their first run last night up agains't Ralph's Early Crusaders, not exactly an historical match but still an interesting one. Will take some time getting the hang of these guys hmmm….they managed the win but I can see this will be a delicate army to use. Ralph had quiet a few new additions to his army as well mostly lots of pilgrims ….  game was 350pts.

    Great looking table with lovely painting on both sides! Love your Iberian camp. The leaders and casualty markers are a great touch too.

    Is it challenging to run an impetuous army? In theory, if the Scutarii can get in without being nicked, all the impetus dice should be very powerful.

      It is challenging to run you have to be a little careful with it. The Celtiberians are the chaps with the impetus, they can be dangerous but you don't get many of them in this army. If I took a straight Celtiberian force then yes ouch !! They are hard to control though …..but lot's of fun.

    looks like to me the miniatures are primed white undercoat before painting? really outstanding painting of miniatures here... the basing/flocking of the units look marvelous and the table playing area looks cool as well! The camps look great, I like the priest - 6th photo? I also see a tea set silver ware? :o) one tea with lemon for me please...

    thanks for your game report and photos of the miniatures... Great!

    cheers,

      They're old strip minifigs figures Monty which I have a soft spot for in a retro old school kind of way. Some pic's here :-)
