JJ (Vampire Counts) Vs. Brainfreezer (Ogre Kingdoms)

original thread ↗

just-josh 24 Jul 2012
The master count JJ, feller of the mortals was searching for a new power source to feed his ever hungry power lust. And after picking up many rumours from his underlings about the Mountains Of Mourne's runes of power, he had to go get them.

Now the Tyrant of the Stone Scribes, Longbeard The Ancient One foresaw this event in a rune of sight and readied his forces. "These runes must be protected from those monstrosities! To war, and may Mourna protect you!"

So they charged down to the footholds of their mountain to catch a glimpse of the Vampire's ghouls and ghosts. Longbeard knew this was going to be a good fight indeed.

After all, painting 100 night goblins is something you do in the morning just before you are off to work.

And I think you missed a 0 when you wrote 11 armies. The correct nr should be 110 armies I would think, based on your painting speed.
Brainfreezer 24 Jul 2012
Cool! Hamete it is! I like the map!
just-josh 24 Jul 2012
Glad you approve :D

Here's my roll off for first deployment
Result of the throw of dice "1d6" :

Okay I got a 4.
just-josh 24 Jul 2012
Awesome :) Well, in which case, you take your first unit, and add it to the map, following the usual rules for deployment. You then post that picture, complete with first unit, and I can then make my first deployment :)

I must tell that I must go to sleep now as I must get up early in the morning, but I will be ready to do it then when I get back!
If you want you can deploy first. But I have a question: How far up on this is twelve?
just-josh 25 Jul 2012
I don't mind you deploying first, as you won the roll off. In terms of deployment zone, the deployment for the top edge goes all the way down to 36", which can be found along the side. And, the bottom deployment area runs up to 12" :)

Okay so the red is the Stonehorn. Uh, ignore the brown blotch. That was a mistake.
just-josh 25 Jul 2012
I will post mine tomorrow dude, but could you do me a favour and save it as a. png file, just to prevent distortion? :)

Also, to save the effort of creating unit base templates from scratch, you can find the premade templates on the thread at the top of this board :)

If it would help speed things up, I don't mind posting the rest of my deployment, and then you can post the rest of yours?:)

Yea, that would be great. But I can't get the unit templates onto the pic. Kept putting errors on my screen. I will try again.
Sorry for the wait, but things got busy with unexpected plans.
just-josh 07 Aug 2012
Sorry about the ridiculous delay matey... I've been absolutely snowed under.

Here's the deployment of all my units, and I will deploy my characters once you've done your units :)
