Irregular Wars Wargaming

I'm pleased to introduce the prototype Satyr warband for Song of Blades and Heroes by Ganesha Games. I decided to start with a smaller warband of higher quality characters (after all, it requires less painting). I have more models with hand weapons in my lead pile, but I'll see how these little chaps perform first. The Satyrs are all Eureka (panpipes added to Pan as a small conversion), the Dryad is Shadowforge. The warband as it stands: Pan; Q3 C3 (100pts) Hero, Forester, Mountaineer, Terror, Unique Phoebe the Dryad; Q3 C2 (56 pts) Entangle, Forester Satyr archers (x3); Q3 C3 (48pts each) Forester, Mountaineer, Shooter: Medium All Satyrs have both the 'mountaineer' and 'forester' special abilities to reflect their sylvian habitat. The dryad model has legs that turn into roots at the feet and I liked the idea of her being able to make roots or plant matter spring up out of the ground to entangle her foes and so gave her the 'entangle' abil...

At MOAB this year I finally submitted to my long-time desire and picked up a few 28mm Eureka satyrs and a Shadowforge dryad. I'll use them for  SBH  for now, and for the Greek Myth version,  Song of Gods and Heroes ,   when it is finally written. The 'satyrs' are technically  Panes , the twelve Pan-esque nature spirits, Greek  Satyrs  having human legs an horses tails, but I'm happy to go with 'satyrs'. Note that the pictures below are from the respective manufacturers' websites. Pan Satyr spearmen Satyrs with hand weapons Satyr archers Dryads Not sure whether I want more of less satyrs for  SBH . I tend to find that less (with higher Q) is more in the game, but my provisional lists are as follows:  <SBH warband builder HERE> ;Arkadians Pan;100;3;3;true;Hero,Forester,Mountaineer,Terror,Unique;; Satyr archer;48;3;3;false;Forester,Mountaineer,Shooter: Medium;; Satyr archer;48;3;3;false;Forester,Mountaineer,Shooter: Me...

The Southern Battle Gamers host MOAB (Mother of all Battlegames) over the three-day October long weekend each year  (see HERE) . This year I was only able to attend the Saturday and took part in the DBA historical matched pairs competition. On the Sunday there was a AD 1067 campaign, but I was pre-booked to drink bier and eat suspiciously shaped German sausages to welcome in Oktober... The main hall early on Saturday morning... before it got rowdy. The many many MOAB events take place over three floors of a gymnasium/hall/basketball court. The main floor including stage (pictured), a mezzanine (sort of in the picture), a basement and a bunch of rooms out the back. All manner of games are on offer as competitions, for demonstrations and participation. No Conflict at the World's End this year, but I might see if we can't have a couple of games on the go next year. In the historic matched pairs competition I managed to scrape into 9th place out of ten entrants. No...
