Rules for Bugs

Bugs are... Slow moving creatures with potent attacks that hide in very dense terrain, preying on carrion                 
                      

Bugs are STALKERS and using the stalking board for deployment and movement. 
                                      
They operate in clusters of two.                                       


Blood Roaches 
                                      
Blood Roaches may only walk BLUE                                       

They do 1 Lethal Dice damage                                        

When a Blood Roach receives a kill wound, give them a kill marker. They die if they receive a third wound while marked. Remove any kill markers when the ongoing combat ends. 
                                      

Swamp Maggots                                       

Swamp Maggots may only walk BLUE                                       

They do 2 Lethal Dice damage                                       

When a Blood Roach receives a kill wound, give them a kill marker. They die if they receive a second wound while marked. Remove any kill markers when the ongoing combat ends

Spotlight On... The Coaching Inn

My son Horatio is a bit of a master house builder and while I was busy working on my Market Hall, he was pottering away creating this beauty:  


We kind of use it as a coaching inn and Horatio went all out to outdo me on intricacy and quality.

The basic structure is cardboard with balsa wood as the timbers and corrugated card as the roof tiles. The windows are made from wire mesh bought at Homebase in a sheet but Horatio went to a lot of effort to get those oddly shaped window frames perfected.


I was the one who painted it, tying the slate colour in with my own buildings and doing the walls... Deneb Stone and Bleached Bone, maybe Kommando Khaki? You know, I don't remember now. I was aiming for natural fairly bland colouring.

I really like it.

Here's hoping Horatio will return to house building this summer now he's back from university at the end of his second year.
