Battle: Barbarians vs. Undead

[wargamer1972]

My son, James and I fought a Hordes of the Things battle yesterday. It was much fun. I commanded the victorious undead while James played his unpainted barbarians. I told him he would lose playing with an unpainted army. However, it was close game. I played with 5 horde elements, 1 Hero (Gn), 1 Behemoth, 2 Knights, 1 Lurker and 3 shooters. James had 6 warband (Gn), 2 Blades, 1 Hero and 1 Mage.

This was our first game of fantasy HOTT in a while so we were a little stiff early on, but once the troops began to move and after the first blood letting, things moved ahead at a dangerous pace.

Final AP loss count: Undead 8, Barbarians 12.

Yes Robert, more battles to come. I am very proud of the painting you did on these models and especially the banners. Will have the lizardmen out again soon too.

WG, I really enjoyed your report and seeing the pictures. I am so keen to start my undead army, so when I see one it always inspires me. Is your army 15 MM or 28 MM?

Thanks for the report and hope to see more.

I seem to recall seeing this at the drive-in during the 70s.
