BOYL The Engines of Avalone Siege game

Love the back story Erny - If I get time I'll add the viewpoint from my Orc Warlord...

Just about there with the painting but am up in the Lakes today and tomorrow again - hopefully there will be a siege tower and covered ram kit awaiting me to be painted up Wednesday/Thursday.

Other than that I will have the following to bring

Defenders
Boiling oil, rock droppers, etc from the Siege Defenders set
6 Mounted Knights
20 Human Pike
15 Wood Elf Archers
20 Wood Elf Guard (archers)
20 or so assorted Dwarves including 5 Dwarf crossbowmen
10 Human Forresters
10 Gnomes
6 Dwarf Sappers + various 1 and 2 inch sections of sandbag walls for them to build
Makeshift barricades
Mealie bag walls
wooden pallisades, fences and other stuff for hastily fortified homesteads and farms
1 Treeman
1 Zoat
Wood Elf Animal handlers with cats, dogs and a bear
(A load of Norse if we need them)
a dozen or so villagers
4 wounded with stretchers
2 carts with draft animals
3 pack mules

Attackers
2 Wyverns
1 Giant
1 Evil Giant/Giant Troll
10 x Golgfag's Ogres
6 x Ogres
6 Trolls + Goblin Shaman on Giant Spider
10 x Snortas
6 x Gruntas
20 x Gobbo Wolf riders
30 x Rugluds Armoured Orcs
20 x Ugezods Mothercrushers
30 x Orc warriors
24 x Savage Orcs
25 x Orc Spearmen
21 x Orc Archers
36 x Gobbo Stickas
31 x Grom's Goblin Guard
30 x Goblin warriors
30 x Goblin Spearmen
20 x Swamp Goblins
1 x War Tortoise Ajax with Swamp Goblin crew
5 Stone Throwers including Man Mangler and Skullcrusher
Leadbelcher
2 Hobgoblin Rocket launchers
10 Hobhounds and 2 handlers
3 Orc Shamans
1 Goblin shaman
1 bound Hippogriff
2 log rams
various ladders
1 siege tower (to be built)
1 covered ram (to be built)

I had hoped to get Throgg's despoiling Hobgoblins done in time but that looks unlikely now. Similarly I had another 20 Orc archers and 30 of the lovely old plastic Orcs from the Warhammer Regiments box set which probably won't make it along with a few more hobhounds and handlers to beef up the Hobgoblin contingent.

I decided didn't have time to do the Marauder Giant justice so he'll have to wait for another time.

Oh nearly forgot my secret weapon - Kev Adams and his dastardly band of Snotling and Snorklings!



If he doesn't make it onto the battlefield as my general he'll certainly end up in the Foundry category for the painting comp :lol:

Oh and bravo to you all for your fantastic efforts in build and painting stuff - this is going to be a game of truly epic proportions!

Whilst gathering my few bits & pieces together for the weekend I found about three foot of universal trench/field defenses (unpainted) are these of any use? Will apply a basic coat of paint as I now have an reason to take them out of the box in the next twelve hours! :lol: :lol: :lol:

So you're saying there's a chance that Kev Adams will be judging a painting competition containing a figure of Kev Adams sculpted by Kev Adams? Are you TRYING to break the universe?? :p

Hmmm...the man has a point. It is a little irresponsible... ;)

Well maybe I'll just put the Snorklings in - would be funny though :lol:

Quite like the idea of breaking the universe too... :twisted:

I'm still having him as general of my Goblinoid horde - or at least as some kind of Pied Piper of Goblins!

Hey,

Is it too late to join in the siege?
I will try to bring as many archers, men-at-arms and some foot knights as I can safely cram into my luggage. I’ll be at the event from Friday to Sunday by the way. If possible I’ll upload some images of the stuff I bring later today.

Well, let me know if there is room for one more in the festivities!

Cheers
Martin

They can do what?!
Pretty much anything they want. :twisted:

At the moment she will have to be a water Elemental (see Page 271-271 Rule book) ... Unless I have time to hunt down the White Dwarf that had the rules for the Life and Death Elemental.... But that is OK as she is the Lady of the Lake. :mrgreen:

I'm sure I remember seeing the rules for life/death Elementals in one of the rulebooks I own. But I can't for the life of me think which one...

Hmm.. let me have a quick look...

.. right, found it, it was in WFRP 1st edition, p258 - The Mardagg and Viydagg!

Why not - kind of lost track of who's playing when now but we'll try and squeeze you in somewhere!

Looking good Harry - looks like my Wyvers have got a fight for air superiority...

surprises?

Well, I can confirm that my previously GM'd giant frog of Lustria won't be making an appearance at this year's BOYL. It caused way too much destruction and casualties last year and was massively over-powered, and tipped the game hugely off balance.

Actually, hang on - it did sod all...

Since Paul is not running the "Get to the Other Side" game, I wonder if you could squeeze my Slann army in there somewhere...at least they are Neutral and are happy to fight for either side.

That's the primary reason my elves are staying away this year! They're terrified of it!

Is there a GM for this game? Like for surprises and stuff?

Let's just see if we can GM it to the surprise of finishing it! :lol:

Me and Erny will be co-GMing - I'm dipping out Sunday morning to play my big Epic game but hope to be back in the afternoon.
