PanzerKaput Goes To Barons’ War

About the Project
Set against a backdrop of a Civil War that lasted for two years, 1215-17, as a result of the issuing of Magna Carta. A civil war was the perfect opportunity for the leading nobles of the time to grab land and power while settling some old scores along the way. This vying for land and power hadn't stopped since the invasion of 1066 with only the strongest of kings being able to keep their nobles in check. Our narrative focuses on small groups of warriors brought together under a lord or baron to raid and steal or defend land and property. With the strong, wise, cunning and lucky aiming to rise out of this civil strife in a better position than when it started. The Barons' War skirmish game has been written to enable players to fight out tabletop battles against the backdrop of the First Barons’ War between rival Barons or rival factions who find themselves on either side of the conflict. The game is historically themed, the gameplay is fast-paced and tactical with plenty of narrative and where force building presents you with lots of options enabling two players to muster very different retinues. However, as intended, this is an alpha set of rules which does not include rules for siege warfare, although rules for fighting in buildings are included. Campaign rules are something that will be addressed at a later date and released online. Having grown out of the Barons’ War Kickstarter project, the intention is for this ruleset to develop into a system that could be used throughout the Medieval period. Starting with England from when the Western Roman Empire withdrew around 410 AD to 1485 AD when Richard III died at the Battle of Bosworth Field. This presents us with a huge span of history for gaming which can be broadly divided into Romano-British, Anglo-Saxon and Viking, Anglo-Norman, Angevin and Plantagenet. And that’s just when looking at it from Great Britain. With warriors of this period being pretty similar, it would be easy to use the profiles in this rulebook to play out tabletop battles in any setting. Over time we see these rules evolving with additional warriors, characters, abilities and scenarios being added starting with the Dark Ages, the Anarchy and the Crusades and shared to www.warhost.online, which has been set up to be the community website for the game.

Video Uploaded of the Milites Christi

More Milites Christi for St Mary de Pratis
The Milites Christi of St Mary de PratisI have finished my next units of Milites Christi for my St Mary de Pratis force for my Barons’ War game and I am rather chuffed with the results. I reversed the colours of the ones I had painted on these to give a greater various yet retaining that uniformed look for them.
Coupled with a few simple weapon swaps this has given more variety to them. What I am very proud of is the hand painted shields of St Mary and I thing it sets the right tone for them.
The nice thing is that I can and will be using them for Warhosts new Barons’ War Kiskstarter Outremer.

My Completed Welsh Force
My Welsh ForceI have finished all my Welsh by Footsore, well the foot part, for my Barons’ War Game and I am chuffed with the way they look.
I wanted them to stand out from my English and I think I have achieved that by giving them a celtic feel. I have tried to keep it as true to what little information there is and I think I have do them justice.

More Welsh Knights and Poor Warriors
Welsh Foot Knights and Poor WarriorsI have finished all of my Welsh foot for my Barons’ War: Game these being Foot Knights and Poor Warriors and both packs are by Footsore. With them is Maredudd ab Owain, a 10th-century king in Wales, which is a lovely figure, I am using him as a old chieftain.
A 10th-century king in Wales of the High Middle Ages and a member of the House of Dinefwr, his birthright was the kingdom of Deheubarth comprising the southern realms of Dyfed, Ceredigion, and Brycheiniog. Upon his father’s death, King Owain, around AD 988, also inherited the kingdoms of Gwynedd and Powys, which he had conquered for his father. He was counted among the Kings of the Britons by the Chronicle of the Princes and died c. 999.
I love these Matthew Bickley sculpts as they are so full of character and beautiful posing. I will over the weekend get a photo of the whole painted Welsh force sorted.

Welsh Javelinmen and a Hermit Crab
Welsh Javelinmen and a HermitMy next unit for my Welsh javelinmen for my Barons’ War Game are completed. Not only that I have also completed a hermit for the Welsh too. I am chuffed with the look of these, with the mix of the old celtic style and the new medieval where I think I got the balance right.
I love these Matthew Bickley sculpts as they are so full of character and look amazing.
I really cannot wait to these boyos into the battle field.
