The Desolation of Skavenblight

Leaving the NZ Masters yesterday, there was a skqweel from the back seat to stop.

The boot of Rory's car hadn't been properly closed and it popped open. My Skaven army - in its Battlefoam case - was seen bouncing down the road behind us. We stopped and I went back and collected it.

I wasn't brave enough to open the case until this afternoon.



So not too bad at all. The HPA lost his fingers, the Storm Banner was broken and a variety of plastic infantry de-based.

I'm glad they were in a Battlefoam case!!!

  1. Is he still on the team, or has a spot in Serbia opened up?

    1. Ha ha...hey I wasn't responsible for closing the boot! Sabotaged!

    2. Good advertisement for Battlefoam though....it must have bounced 20 metres down the road before it came to a halt!

    3. Sounds like I need to get myself a battlefoam case. If that was the result of a catastrophe like that, they're obviously damn good.

    4. No my fault. I put them in the boot but did close it. Really good advertisement for the product. Not a scratch on the case.

  2. Wow, I'm glad the case proved itself so well! I think that would have really sucked if the models had been in pretty much anything else.

  3. Forget the Abomb. The skaven let again prove they are willing to innovate and come up with their own version of the dambusters bomb. Crafty little rats.

    Glad to hear that those who took part in the experiment survived this time.

  5. Good to hear that your army survived largely intact. I had to say I did laugh at this bit though;

    "...the Storm Banner was broken,..."

    You mean, the Storm Banner IS broken. Yes, yes it certainly is.
