Hi everyone, This week I have fought the next battle in my continuing Hyborian HOTT campaign. This time the savage Picts have crossed the Black River to raid the land of Cimmeria. Conan has just returned from Vendhya, just in time to take on the evil of Zogar-Sag.
All didn't go well initially for Conan who was bespelled leaving his forces split.
More can be seen on the blog. This game showed me just how good the combination of a strong blade flank coupled with a decisive charge can be. It was a bit of a gamble though with the quick-kills that warband can inflict.Hope you guys like the battle. The figures are a varied combination of Garrison, Minifigs, Prince August and unknowns. Conan is from Heritage. All are old-school 25mm. kropotkinspage.wordpress.com Comments and crits welcome. |

Great looking game! Do you play solo? I love the look of the old figures: Garrison is, I know, out of business; Minifigs is still around; do you have a source for the Heritage figures, or are they from an old collection or e-bay? Thanks for sharing! |

Nice! I love Conan and one of these days I'll actually finish my Aquilonians. I wish Garrison Miniatures stuck with it, I like the look of their figures. |

Hi Daryl, Yes solo for me. HOTT works well solo as it is such a simple game, but for such a simple game I am still working out good combinations. Blades and rider worked this time. If you want Heritage figures get in touch with this guy Michael, I live in the UK and I got mine AOK. He has the rights to produce them and is in the western USA. Mail him, he is a good guy.Email on this page. classicminiatures.net Also join this group which is run by the same guy. link Hi Chad, Hope you finish your Aquilonians soon. Rate your site as well. Put me onto a load of stuff related to Royal Armies of the Hyborian Age especially the flags. link Thanks for the feedback. |

By Crom, there should be more war in Hyboria! |

I didn't realize classic minis produced stuff. I emailed the guy a long time ago and it didn't seem he had anything for sale. I'll have to try him again because I'd love to get some the Hyborian and LOTR minis. I think I've changed my mind on what I want to do with the Aquilonians, but right now I'm interested in Vendhya and Khitai. Khurasan has some minis that fit in perfectly for those two nations. |
