"Just think of the draco standard we can make with that"

Gatalos, the Sarmatian king, tries to inspire his men as they take on a wandering dragon.

Maybe Gatalos is taking some inspiration from Brian "it's a puppet"

there was a light at the end of the tunnel, and it was a flamethrower

First a dragon and now elephants! My Hollywood inspired army of the Queen of Sheba has its first outing. In the photograph, the Queen in her "ride" follows her elephants forward towards the enemy.

In my largest battle to date with about 2,800 figures on the playing surface, all of my Greeks took on my recently completed Romans. In the photograph, several Roman legions have deployed from their marching camp on the left to face the Greeks from Argolis and Achaea. Further in the distance on the right, the Spartans and Athenians hold the high ground with more Romans advancing towards them.

Three of my Near Eastern armies took to the battlefield in my latest solo battle.

In the photograph, Abgar, Maz'ur of Orhai, and his cavalry are currently holding the king of the hill title, but the Armenians of Tigranes the Lesser are gathering to to remove him from the top spot. In the distance, Antiochos III of Commagene leads his men across a river ford and towards the main battle area.

No worries about the painting—sometimes the battle report itself is where the real story comes alive! Writing a battle report is basically like telling a story: it helps to set the scene with details about the armies, terrain, and scenario, then walk through the turns highlighting key moves and twists. Adding a bit of narrative flair turns it from a dry recital into a captivating read (even if it’s your “good snooze” moment!). Sharing photos or maps if you can is a nice touch, but the heart is in your storytelling. So, don’t stress about the “bad painting”—your battle report will bring the action to life all on its own!
