Except, technically on this day we were not, as we'd not received the prize. This was us prepping the shed for Andrew and the photographer from Tiger Sheds.
We decided to display Helm's Deep with as many of Otty's figures as possible. From his favourite riders' of Rohan.
To the massed ranks of Isengard!
With the attack beginning on the Deeping Wall.
There were a bunch of other 'evil' factions thrown in.
Including wildmen, and some of Otty's recently converted Moria Goblins.
We had Theoden riding out.
We could have fit more on but this was still quite the endeavour.
Otty was actually taken aback by how much he'd painted and seeing it all displayed like this.
But the display shelves were still filled with miniatures.
It was only a few that had been completely emptied.
And we filled those with various bit of terrain for the pictures.
But it wasn;t just for the pics. We have plans of doing some of the narrative missions using Helm's Deep.
Inevitably blowing up the wall.
And the further missions after that.
On the other end of the board we set up Bolt Action.
With the Battle of Foy.
I casually mentioned putting the church on the nearside and Ben said 'well you could, but it wasn't on that side in real life'!
There was me thinking they were just putting terrain on a board, not properly representing the actual battlefield.
Once again getting carried away with the artillery bombardment.
I'm not sure if tilt-shift makes any sense on things that are already miniatures.
I'll keep saying it, it always looks so cinematic!
Oh, and Ben has got some new Star Wars Legion terrain, with that tower being utterly ludicrous as it's out of range of probably every weapon from the top.
All ready for the prize giving ceremony.
