I wanted to share some battle photos I've taken over the years with our 15mm Fantasy games. The rules I used were Piquet (modified for Fantasy). This was before the new Piquet Hostile Realms Fantasy supplement was released.
This particular battle had the Dwarves with some human allies defending a mountain pass from a huge Orc\Gnoll\Bugbear army.
The figures are from the following companies:
Orcs - All the old Grenadier figures (I need more of these)
Bugbears - Old Ral Partha (oop)
Gnolls - These are the Hyena's from the Splintered Light Miniatures. These are some pretty cool figures.
Dwarves - all old Grenadier
Humans - Ral Partha
Human Wizard - Black Raven Foundry
Since the battle was fought roughtly 2 years ago I can't remember all the detail, but there is some great eye candy! Enjoy

 |
| Dwarven Crossbowmen overrun by bugbears |
 |
| Human Wizard attempts to cast Fire Balls at the Orcs as the attack the Dwarven Heavy infantry |

| One Orc stand was annihilated by the Wizard's spell, but they still pushed on and attacked the Dwarven cannon and heavy infantry |
This is way cool. I do love the units you have, and this is just the type of game I love.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing.

Thanks Noel! Look for about 20+ more photos of the next week. I have a lot of shots from different battles and staged shots for photo inventory.
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen the Grenadier orcs before. Those are very nice sculpts. I like your choice of skin color—not too neon greeny. More of a "natural" goblin shade.
ReplyDeleteI just discovered how rare the 15mm Grenadier fantasy models are. I didn't realize they were OOP. Where did you get your's?
ReplyDeleteHi Andrew, yes, the Grenadier line is mostly out of production. Mirliton of Italy now owns then and has Orcs, Dwarves, and Skeletons back out, but the vast majority of models are still out of print. The more we order from Mirliton the better chance we have of seeing the other races in the range released.
