Shieldbash Invitational Tournament III pics

[Evil Dave]

This game doesn’t see too much coverage across the internet so I thought I’d share some pics and give it some press at the same time. Shieldbash is a small skirmish game set in a whimsical dark-age world of muppet like creatures (you read it right). There’s Norman muppets, inbred Viking muppets, amazon muppets, roman hamsters, pudgy little ravenous frog like things and Polynesian-esque multi-color lizards. The rules are free, a warband runs you about $30 USD and the game plays quick.

We’ve been playing for 6 years, I think, and three years ago started doing a tournament as the pandemic started to claim the world. Pics of the this year’s tournament (three weeks back now) are below.

My Vidaar clash with Karl’s Kikak over some grazing rights.

Steepus preparing to thwump a yellow leezard.

Brad’s Boob Muppet Avatar asks Eric’s Floppy Horse for a dance.

Eric’s war leader sulks because he wanted to dance with the Boob Muppet.

I could not kill that stupid floppy horse.

Hank, doing what he does best.

My Fyrdee poking Brad’s ladies off the bolt thrower (Dolphins Eifel Tower someone in the background).

Chris’s Hamsters clash with Eric’s Elvorix over the other bolt thrower.

The objective, the third bolt thrower held by Karl’s leezards.

Awesome!  This my favorite range of miniatures, I was bummed that the new ones are so much bigger than the original range. But the variety of the old range is great. I even got my wife and my mother to paint warbands when they first came out. I’m hoping my daughters will be into them in a few years. Beautiful pictures, sounds like you had tons of fun!

You could always get the new stuff printed at a smaller scale. I don’t think any of us went in on the new stuff and Josh, the owner, is still keeping the old metal around.

I thought about that, but I think Josh mentioned in the kickstarter that he tried printing some smaller and that the Vorix proved to be too thin and fragile. Sounded like the Jaarl would print smaller just fine.
Anyways the original line has just about everything you could want. Maybe some civilians and more creatures would be welcome. But really it’s a huge line of minis for a skirmish game.
A few years ago Josh mentioned making a smaller scale line – 10 or 15mm – which would have been awesome.
But thanks for posting you’ve inspired me to dig mine out of storage and maybe add a few more packs. Tusk and Saber looks cool too.

I picked up the Tykee for T&S. I would have enjoyed it in 10mm more but the sculpts are still great in 20ish.
