Today we're playing a big game... 5000 points (roughly) per side.
"Good side" is Elves Humans (my tweaked list based on Neldoreth's one) Lizardmen (my list based on the BoW one)
Evil Side is Orcs Goblins (my list) Ratmen (my list)
The mission will be objective based (points for objectives scored. I'll try and write up a proper batrep at some point but will post pics and progress today as we play.
First pic is just the models (less the lizards which haven't turned up yet) dumped on the table ready for deployment.

Great pic! That's what a wargame should look like! And nice to see some deployment in depth, BTW.

No good deed goes unpunished.

I don't see any pic, or any link to one.

Sometimes, stealing candy from babies is the only way to find good candy.

Just host them on some other photo-uploading site and link to them using the [img] tags.

Question about the buildings shown in the pic.
Do you know where that first group of buildings on the right, just across the river, is from?
I can identify most of the others as GW, but I was curious about those.

Fortified Manor House: GW Well: Forge World Thatched Cottage: Forge World Cottage with red tiled roof: Scratch build by me Inn ("The Salamander"): Scratch build by me (inspired from a very very old White Dwarf I probably still have somewhere).

They all look good together. Well done!
And that's an impressively sized table and army setup.

That's my games room Good for 2 "normal" games or one big one Here are some in game shots. I'll write up a full report at some point but I've got another normal game to write up first (a followup to the Evles vs Orcs game on my last batrep)

Bloody brilliant!
Love seeing big games get played. I am looking forward to the time when enough of the players in my group get familiar with the KoW rules so that we can have a huge group bash. Not sure if my shed will accomodate a table that size but we are not adverse to using an oddly shaped table to make it fit.
And Crudwinkles has been added to my vocab. I imagine I can interchangably use it with Jeewilikers.
