For the Oldhammer Ireland day I plan on hosting a game of Saga with my own custom battleboards for Dwarfs and Skaven.
The scenario is essentially an escort duty mission where Joe Bugman and a band of his rangers attempt to escort a delivery of Bugman's finest to a dwarf mining outpost. Unbeknownst to Joe and the miners a contingent of Skavan led by Gnawdoom the grey seer and Throt the Unclean are attempting to intercept this delivery believing the barrels to contain a magical potion that gives Dwarfs long life and courage. The mining outpost will have an inn and a single gyrocopter landing pad, the road to the mine is dangerous, and populated with all manner of creatures that will happily eat bearded or whiskered players alike.
The project gives me the opportunity to paint lots of little fellows as well as a bugman's cart, some other baggage markers and build a model of a dwarf mine and inn, so plenty to keep me occupied.
So I thought I would post up my progress with the Skaven forces so far. In total there will be 8 seers/plague monks/magicians, a unit of eight clan rats, 4 storm vermin, 8 giant rats/handlers, a unit of 8 jezzail troops and Throt with his rat ogre bodyguard.
So far we have, Gnawdoom and his fellow magicians.
A unit of clan rats, and one storm vermin leader
A giant rat handler and his pack (one left to source and paint)
And the start of the skaven sniper team.
