Presenting Monty Python's Empire (Warhammer 8th Ed.) as they face up my son Bryan's Lizzies. Generalled on this occasion by my youngest son Kyle. I picked Empire because the variety of troop types enabled me to get more things from the movie in the army. I also had some Ogre allies. The Army list is based more on theme than anything that makes sense. The actual empire equivellant is in parenthesis (when it isn't obvious).
I didn't bother to take notes or do a narrative - just lots of pictures!
I call this unit "The cult of the Black Knight." (Swordsmen with great weapons)
"Oh look Dennis, there's so lovely mud here!"
"I am not a witch!"
Dice Jail. Everyone needs one.
Showing the marker I use for my steam cannon.
Home made Grail Chapel. The Trojan Rabbit (Steam Tank) is emerging from behind. Some day I'll find some appropriate wheels.
Knights of the Round Table, "In war, we're quite For-mid-able!" attack some Saurus Warriors
The Black Knight and his cult attack some Kroxigors
The "Black Beast of ARGHHH! (Allied Ogre Gorger) ambushes a Hero on a Carnosaur (we had to proxy as the real carnosaur appears to have run off to college woth Kyle).
My other Ogre Gorger - the Killer Rabbit of Caerbannog
The Knights who say Ni (Ogres) with the Three-headed giant (Ogre Captain) about to get run down by some Sauras Cold One Riders.
The Trojan Rabbit (Steam Tank) crushes a stegadon
Tim the Enchanter (Lv 2 fire wizard) smokes a Salamander with a fireball. It would be his first, and thanks to irresistable force, only successful spell of the day.
The Knights who used to say Ni!, run away.
The Trojan Rabbit prepares to engage the Temple Guard
Sisters of Piety (Celestial Hurricanium)
"Come back! I'm not though with you!" End o fteh Black Knight and his cult.
Arthur and his party. The Dead Collectors on the far right are Lv 1 wizards with the speculum thing
The wedding party (and some rude French knights) protect the Grail Chapel. I call this unit "The Swamp King's Legion" (halberdiers with two detachments of archers).
Brother Maynard and teh Holy Hand Grenade (Hellblaster Volley Gun), flanked by the Wiseman from Scene 24 (engineer) and Tim the Enchanter.
The Rabbit chose an akward time to mishap and blow up.
Skink skirmisheers rudely attack the sisters
Brother Maynard meets his end
Arthus and Lancelot about to be killed by the riderless (rider killed by the Black Beast) Carnosaur, as Lord Kroak looks on approvingly.
Excaliber (Runefang) deserts Arthur (this is Arthur's "to hit" roll v. the Carnosaur.). Lancelot's wasn't any better.
Another victory to the Lizard-dudes. I always have a hard time with them.
