I finally was able to break out my newest creation from my 13th Warrior project, the Great Hall and village. In a recent game, make that two in two days, both games were very exciting with mixed results. The objective in both games were to set fire/destroy as much of the village, longboats and of course the Great Hall, plus to capture as many women and children. The Vikings were to stop all that and kill the leader with the Horns of Power. In the first game, I played the Wendol and had some great die rolls, whereas my opponent had the complete opposite. The Wendol was able to break through the defenses, dwindle down the Viking force and take out two groups of women as well as half of the Viking defenders. At this point the whole Viking force had broke. In the second game, both long ships were destroyed, with partial destruction of the village before the Wendol force fell back. The leader attached to his companion group was taken out. The Great Hall played a more defensive point in the second game, which nickel and dime the Wendol force.
All of us had a great time and at certain points forgot to take more pictures. Here are a few to whet the appetite.

The Great Hall is a project I start last December when I saw a model of it in a UK convention post here on TMP; cost was way too much to buy, so I decided to make one. The movie for me has great re-play value so, why not. I hope to post my build later to show the progress from day one to up to about a few weeks ago. The village was a no brainer, and now have to add a few items to make it complete.

The Wendol force is a mix of Old Glory, Foundry and Black Tree Viking like Berserker figures, which were converted with bear skin and head dress using green stuff. Any figure with wolf skins and head dress were left as is…allied wolf clan? Never done any sculpting before, these guys came out pretty good to include their claw weapons.
