Sparatacus (slave revolt) vs Barbarian.. Hordes of the Things in action on the table top again

 Aha... another evening with a couple of HotT games with Andy. He brought over his Sparatacus (slave revolt) and Undead armies. Here's the battle between his Sparatacus army and my Barbarian army.

The Barbarian army was:

1 x Hero general
1 x knight
2 x behemoth (mammoths)
1 x knight
5 x warband

Andy's Sparatacus army:
1 x Hero general
6 x horde
4 x blade
1 x beasts
2 x riders

Sparatacus himself

Beasts.. urrgghhhh
Barbarian hero general flanked by a behemoth


The initial Barbarian charge is repelled


One of the mammoth behemoth is recoiled

The warband on the barbarian right are not making any headway at all

Finally a gap.. the beasts fall to the warband

The Slave revolt riders come around the flank

The Barbarian general eliminates a blde

It's getting messy


The barbarians try to carve through the slave bldes

Meanwhile a now isolated warband tries to hold up the flank



A blade is destroyed by the behemoth

An dthe general moves to the rear to threaten another bldae, but the blade repels the behemoth/knight attack

The barbarian general fights for his life, attacked front and flank, he repels the attack

The slave hordes are successfully tying up the barbarian left

Another slave blade element is destroyed

The left flank behemoth starts a pushing match with a horde, slowly pushing it back,. We suspected the horde was luring the mammoth towards the lava pit.. BBQ anyone?

Ouch .. that was the barbarian general finally succumbing




Two barbarian warband are destroyed, and with the loss of the general that's it.. all over

A great game, all credit to Andy as he stuck to the task, despite some appalling PIP die rolling a times.  We followed this with a game in which Andy's Undead took down my Orc army..  two great games .. and yes there were sausage rolls!!

A bit of 'gaming variety

I think I may finally starting to get the hang of this 'retirement' thing.. albeit that I have to agree with a journalist who recent...
