'Resistance' by KerryT: Cry Havoc and let slip the Dogs of War

Morning, afternoon and evening all

I've had great fun again with this theme with as usual my initial plan growing bigger, out of proportion to the time I had left and as a result not as complete as I would have liked

Some years ago I printed and painted a Castle and buildings from The King & Country range by Printable scenery. Last year I signed up to their Throne & Ash Kickstarter and for the past few months have been busy printing. About 2 weeks ago, they released a model of a Barbican and this was to be the centre piece of my entry. Then my printer broke and I needed a new part. Fortunately this arrived on Monday, the lower level took nearly 2 days to print though. I managed to finish painting it this afternoon! Phew

The whole shebang from above

Ignore the mess in the background

As the first picture shows, I bought some STL files in the MMF sale and printed off a load of artillery, 2 siege towers (Northern Crusade Miniatures) and 2 traction trebuchets ( Reconquer Designs) and a Ram with crew ( Reconquer Designs). I also found some STL of infantry climbing ladders

 

I've set things up to look like an attack on a walled city with attacking elements being gunpowder artillery, Ballistas throwing rocks, a mine that has caused a wall to collapse and a Ram along with infantry attempting to scale the walls. Defenders have boiling oil and giant crossbow machines

Knock knock

The Barbican

These are not a kind of sheep

Frying tonight

the destroyed Ram

The mine

Heavy Bombards

All those figures and pieces, along with the walls and towers apart from a small section on the right have been painted in the past 2-3 weeks. I couldn't resist adding some additional troops for effect though in the following photos

English infantry walking on ready to exploit any breakthrough

I, really not sure how to score all of this, particularly the terrain

Figure wise I have the following

2 Ballista & 15 Crew

8 guns/bombards & 24 Crew

5 Heavy crossbows (defense) and 10 crew

7 pots of oil and 6 crew

1 Ram & 6 crew

6 Barricades

1 Destroyed Ram

2 Siege towers

1 Mine/bit of terrain

25 infantry with ladders

In total

86 Foot @ 5 points = 430 points

8 artillery pieces @ 10 pints = 80

2 large ballista and 2 siege towers ( vehicles) 20 pints? = 80 points

Walls - 6 foot long and 15 cms high?

2 rams ? = 20 points

Various barricades and I don't think I can claim artillery for the pots of oil

Theme Bonus points 50

Around 660 points without what I've failed to count points for

Apologies, all a mad rush in the end to get it posted

I had hoped to get some infantry for the siege towers and crossbow defenders done but ran out of time!
