Irregular Wars Wargaming

Because I'm apparently drawn to the wee beggars, here are another troop of Warp Miniatures kobolds. These piggyback riders have clearly scavenged some human kit and decided to do human things like look for jobs, drink tea and eat buns... Sir Bert the real hoomin knight. Kobold hoomin minions. Andrew and managed to get in some playtesting for Fantastic Scuffles this week as well. We played a couple of engagements between kobolds and itinerant adventurers.

This would be the third clash between these armies.  In their first match, the Macedonians stormed to victory . The rematch saw the Romans put up more resistance, fighting the Macedonians to a bloody standstill.  Once again, we mustered 1,500 point armies and fought over a standard 30x20bw table (120cmx80cm using 40mm base widths.)
