From MartinC - The Archaeans Reach the top of Snowlords Peak (180 Points)

Ajax was tired, the climb to the top of Snowlords peak had been long and arduous. He wasn't build for long distance travel, he was the man to stand by in the clash of bronze, and his shield was so heavy, He couldn't leave it behind, it had saved him so many times.

He looked around him at the perfectly flat top of the mountain, strange he thought, a wise and industrious man must have done this. As he looked behind him the rest of his crew started to arrive at the top with the symbol of Poseidon on their shields

Finally they were all here and joy filled their hearts

They gathered together to perform the Pyrrhiche on the lovingly tended flat topped peak. As they moved though the familiar steps their hearts filled with joy and their voices sang out the paean

The Snowlord looked on, it was hard to tell if he was pleased or displeased, Ajax urged the men to sing louder, if the Snowlord was unhappy maybe Poseideon would look kindly upon them, although it was a long way to the sea. Failing that Ajax was strong and he had 29 men with him who would fight and fight well.

It had been almost a week since they arrived at the top of the peak and still the Archaeans danced and sang waiting for the Snowlord to decide their fate. I wonder what could be keeping him. maybe he had to sit down when Ray interrupted wearing, well I daren't describe it.

This is excellent Martin. I really enjoyed the write up - it has an almost Homeric cadence to it that helps set the scene. It's also great seeing these old figures from Foundry. While perhaps a bit small compared to today's offerings, they still have wonderful character (those bronze and plank shields are particularly excellent).

As to points, we have 150 for Ajax and his companions and 30 bonus for Snow Lord's Peak for a total of 180. A nice bump for the roster AND it places you in first place in the points standings - awesome stuff. 

Finally, as your prize for Snow Lord's Peak, I present to you (and let's try this again) an impressive brace of Sherman Fireflys from your friend James to add to your WWII collection a shiny red motorcycle and rider from our esteemed camel herder, Dave. 

Well done Martin!
