These are looking fantastic. How did the game go? My powers of foresight aren't so good... It's not until the 16th! 🤣

Off to Medway to play my first game of 8th in a *very* long time. All packed up, and safe from the rain. Looking forward to it, and it's with an old friend too which makes it all the better!

Good luck my guy! Take pictures if you can, and I want to hear how it goes! Maybe post lists afterwards?

So, firstly, what a great day. Ragnarok in Gillingham is a great gaming space. Plenty of room, out the way of passing view and central enough to Gona grab something from the local cafe or bakery. My first time in this shop, but it's much bigger than the last, easily fit 8 full boards in it. Played again an old friend, and long time opponent, Rob. I didn't get any pictures (other than of my army whilst he was getting some lunch), but I'll try and remember as best I can. He ran vampire counts, not overly 'competative' I don't think. Something like this Kemler White king on foot 2x 20 skellies 25 ghouls 10 black Knights 5 of the ethereal cavalry 25 grave guard with barrows banner I had, Lv4 with dispell and high magic BSB with HoD arrow 20 archers hagbane 10 archers with flaming banner hagbane 2x 10 scouts hagbane 2x 5 wild riders 2x 9 waywatchers 2x great eagles I deployed back on a flank, with my wild riders far out on the other side. He deployed close centre so I had room to flank on both sides with my scouting units. He did exactly what I wanted, and headed directly up to my main archers letting my scouts and waywatchers work on his units from just within my half range, and the wild riders to swing a wide flank and come in from the side. He destroyed 1 unit of wild riders and a unit of scouts however I tabled him entriely on top of turn 6. He missed out on two magic phases with him losing concentration on the first spell of each turn, but otherwise he played well. A fun first foray back in to playing, against a good opponent in a nice environment. I'm pleased to be back!

So, more completed here. 18 waywatchers completion one batch - never again! 😭 Nice tabletop standard, kept things relatively simple, and they look ok next to my existing stuff I've got my reserves ticket for the June GT at triple crown, and will be taking these guys... So have some more archers and a mage on eagle to complete to bring these up to 2.5 k 👍

Waywatcher cloaks are very nicely done.

And, mage on eagle... Not an amazing conversion, nor a stellar paint job. But he's done, which is a tick in my box 👍 10 archers to finish then, and then that's 2.5 k done...

Yeah baby!! This was one of my favorite projects to follow initially, glad to see you're back on the Woodies! Clever conversion on that Mage too - do I spot the metal Horse Mage guy, staff o' the Sisters, and a Hobbit Great Eagle? It's great!
