These Kids These Days!

"But Da, we always play Hoth!"

"Yes, I know, but this time it's with Tigers and T-34/85s!"

Ohhh, Stormtroopers and Tigers.  I had been obsessing on this as soon as I saw that there was snow on the ground today. 




Eastern Front Hoth!





Snowtroopers storm the Rebel HQ.


There is dissension in the Rebel ranks.


The Princess storms out.  "I've had enough of these Rebels!!!"


...

Goblins in the snow.


Goblins and Chaos in the snow.


Glorious snow!

    1. Thank you, Blue in VT. The miniatures always become that much more alive outdoors, I feel. I love looking at a mini as he stands in sand or beside a real rock. One day I will feel brave enough to bring some old lead in the snow, or by real water.

  3. Great pictures.....but snow? Can't stand the stuff. Frantically burning offerings to Arioch to prevent it appearing over here.

    1. Hey thanks, Springinsfeld. I think this is one of the few instances in which our tastes might diverge - I love snow! It is, unfortunately, a fairly rare occurrence here, so all the more reason for savouring it!

  4. Dude if u love snow games you'd love it up here right now. Love the Hoth scenarios, and I love the mixing in of classic tanks. Reminds me of 'the Wizard' with nazi tanks taking on elves. Dunno why.
    This really makes me paint up my west end games Star Wars. Damn skaven!

    1. Thanks, 24 Cigs! You guys are lucky to have snow now - ours is all gone. Even the mountains look bare. Hey, I like that image of SS tanks taking on Elves, although I picture Elves more as the Nazis (those evil elves!). And yeah, paint up your West End guys! And check out Mouse's great work on them over at his fantastic Tales From The Big Board.
