Dare I ask? "What is a pumpkin stronghold?" And what (presumably HOTT) army would garrison it?

PS Brian if I hadn't seen your other beautiful scratch-building, I would think its an April 1st hoax..... so I shall wait on news of your use of these materials.....

Yes, carlL, you're right, it's a HoTT army. And no, it's no hoax, but a lot of fun.  The army list is here: fanaticus.boards.net/thread/3704/coming-hordes-terrifying-army-lists?page=3Cheers, Brian |

As DBA gamers I do believe we are a sub set of what can be seen as a fairly unusual group of hobbyists.
HoTT armies however really can be used to see deep into someones psyche.

In Germany we simply use the word 'skurril', which means something like weird, but I think I'm only a bit childish? For what it's worth, carll, here's the link to my final version of my pumpkin army. i.postimg.cc/2yvM7ZCb/20230124-173152.jpg |

Some progress   And so the picture frame became a concrete wall.  And now the parking lot and the patches are ready. The rest of the building will follow next week... |

Thank you Menacus and 'Brian Boru'. I have been educated in the delights of HOTT.
In my youth, well not quite, but when HOTT / DBA rules first appeared, I did briefly consider creating a nuts and bolts army of differing sizes. So I can understand the desire to create such armies. But I didn't pursue the idea.
Probably as I had enough 'angst' processing the endless gaming debates about how simple (if ever so violent) historical tools like swords, spears, shields, bows and arrows could lead to a myriad of gaming troop classifications; without taking on endless 'fantasy' possibilities too!!??!!#
I know pumpkins can be very offensive to the pallet, but I wonder how these round but inert plants can become: Behemoths, Beasts, and Hordes, or Lurkers & Shooters? Mind I wouldn't want a dry pumpkin seed (arrowhead? sling pellet?) in the eye like poor old Harold at Hastings.
As ever 'Brian Boru' your scratch building from limited materials is beautiful, and I am truly educated about your Pumpkin stronghold. Long may it hold sway in the Halls of HOTT, and bring you success on the battlefield.
CarlL
PS does the VW van provide you with 'mounted' pumpkins?

Hi CarlL, yes, it's all just fun, a mixture of Halloween and a free fantasy about 'Invasion of the body snatchers'. (So the VW van is used by the human aliens to spread their seed over the world...) How the pumpkins manage to move about, I really don't know. Maybe some unearthly kind of magic or anything like that? The only thing I know, they were so cheap and cute, I could not resist. And I really was astonished when I saw them the first time in battle, because they utterly smashed a terrifying Tarantula army... |
