I think the Lord in the green cape could have been played by Tom Cruise - just no motorcycle in this battle.Disgruntled Fusilierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10995610821904415726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1194255716971534690.post-65620875276228172132022-06-28T18:59:13.289-04:002022-06-28T18:59:13.289-04:00Cheers, Jeffers, and thank you I'm happy with ...Cheers, Jeffers, and thank you I'm happy with them.

I had some GB vikings a few years back and they were fun to paint but, you know, Saga 🥱, so I sold them off. Fascinating fact you didn’t want to know: I live 10 minutes from Ethandun. Or 10 days if I walk. The Bjorns rolled a lot of 6s there too.Jeffershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07319010033525561907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1194255716971534690.post-60374444281939330832022-06-28T15:05:38.922-04:002022-06-28T15:05:38.922-04:00It was an ambitious post, Darren but we got it pub...It was an ambitious post, Darren but we got it published! <br /><br />From my understanding, the RF rules are themselves based off of "One Page Fantasy Skirmish" which also has a sci fi/modern version. (Ravenfeast with guns?) <br /><br />I was talking to Ken about the same thing - I'd love to put some Orcs and Empire troops down from the Oldhammer world and do some fantasy skirmish with these rules. That would be a blast.Disgruntled Fusilierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10995610821904415726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1194255716971534690.post-12047692117885273722022-06-28T14:28:19.256-04:002022-06-28T14:28:19.256-04:00Fantastic - I never realised the subtleties of Rav...Fantastic - I never realised the subtleties of Ravenfeast. Great to see them played out here. I must look into this one further.<br />You have also managed to combine NFL metaphors, protein enhanced miniatures, rules mechanisms and classic vikings into one post :) Not as easy task.<br />I'm also interested in their Norse Myth variant, as I remain convinced that this would make a great Conan game.Duc de Gobinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10668407600014604176noreply@blogger.com
