Timurids vs Ottoman Turks - posted by Ben Vartok, 28 June 2024

DBMM 240 Points yesterday evening in Auckland. I fielded Timurids after finally completing some Horde I (the I is for immortal). Benny put his Ottoman Turks on the table so historical encounter. Plenty of opportunity for both sides. The Serbian Knights had cavalry in front of them while the Timurid superior LH and Cav had fast LH and odinary cav facing them on the flank. Totally looked to be going the Timurid way, the Ottoman flank collapsed and the Serbian Knights along with the Janissary archers just could not do any damage. Benny did the sums and his army was 1/2 an ME off breaking, he rolled a pip storm for his two remaining commands and finally his knights and archers got themselves sorted. They broke the Timurid centre and other flank and won the game in a bound of fury.

Early Imperial Romans - posted by Daniel Wade, 28 June 2024

Just finished some Black Tree Design EIR. They are a bit crude so I’m not going to spend too much time on painting them to a high standard. I almost painted the bases Goblin Green. 😀

They are larger than my previously painted Crusader sculpts. Also painted a skirmisher base that I had miscounted in my Army lists.

Don't think I would use the word crude in my description. Great work!

Ben Vartok From a distance they look good but had many miscast bits I couldn't remove or just missed. The Crusader versions are much nicer.
