Pfft..amatures i say!

I had 7 in my 5th ed salamanders successor army at 2K including bray'arth (then i added a doredeo)

That's not counting the 4 in my dark angels army and the other 2 in my dwarven salamander army,

That AT battle is gorgeous! Well done Sherrypie!

Had a lovely game of Titanomachina on Thursday night. Rhea (me) chased Tethys (my opponent) around the board until I made a fatal mistake and put my back to the edge of the board. With the threat of a ring-out imminent, I was suddenly on the defensive with Tethys suddenly turned and started fighting back. The game times out, but one more round and Tethys would have hurled Rhea out of the disputed territory. As it was I lost 20-17 thanks to losing Rhea's Hand and right Shields generator, and only having 13 yellow habitats on the board. I managed to shoot off Tethys's right leg and extra armour, but my wily opponent had made sure Tethys had Her full complement of 16 pink habitats.

Cheers, aiming to please

The game store tonight

Some classic 5th ed kill teams-5 way battle over 3 objectives (well one true objective and 2 boobytraps )

Orcs VS salamanders VS iron hands VS eldar, VS skitarii



And some classic battletech-urban warfare combined arms...and loads of tanks.

The Kill team game looks like it'd have been a lot of fun!

My buddy and I met for some more games of Underworlds yesterday. Still fine tuning my Sepulchral Guard deck, while he's playing his Madmob. Really enjoying playing Sepulchral Guard, especially as a bunch of great cards came out in season 4 which compliment them well.

A group of samurai heroes venture into the Realm of Shadows to take on the mighty oni and his minions. Using Osprey's Ronin rules set. The samurai just about won, only two of their number survived the quest, a tight match.

Ronin..... with a Legend of the 5 Rings background pasted on?- He asked hopefully.

Khorne vs soulblight. Or rather radagast the beast who soloed skarbrand and bloodthirster like a champ.

Had i saved like 2 out of 5 with 4+ skarbrand had good chance to solo most of his remaining army. But nope. Died and bloodthirster charging in suffered same fate.

6ed fb, ogres vs undead. 15 years so no idea how to play. Limited on models i could use from aos so basically bulls, ironguts, leadbelchers, butcher and tyrant.

Turns out moving forward was seriously bad idea and just castle up and let him charge me was way to go. I moved forward, he moves, van hel into combat, kill models that were　in contact, i break and die. Repeat. Spirit host blocks iron gut unit.

End result dead ogre army, maybe 10 dead skeleton(he got like 20 models　summoned) and 4 dead black knights.

Lumineth vs seraphon and then vs skaven. Lost both as army got cripled by turn 3 or so. Particularly bad vs seraphon. Star strike already favours late game scoring and this more so.



Skaven he got vermin lord turn 2, double on turn 3 and i didn't get for turn 4. Bad shrine placement and gg.

6/6 games of aos objectives pretty much irrelevant.

My daughter is 11 and has started to really get into gaming (finally ). We've played a few games of Frostgrave in the past but I determined that this was the summer when we were going to turn up the difficulty level. We created wizards and war bands and commenced the campaign in the main rule book. First game was the Mausoleum scenario (one of my favorites) and she did great, playing the objectives and really thinking through her moves and the spells she was going to cast. We ended up tied with three treasures apiece and then had fun rolling on the treasure table and figuring out what loot we managed to grab.



Played the Silent Tower for our second game and it was fantastic! We each grabbed two easy treasures early and then fought it out for the central treasure. The central treasure changed hands three times before she was able to leap her soldier off the board for the win. Things got even more complicated (also fun) with mummies, zombies and skellies popping out of the all the buildings each turn.











Still really love Frostgrave. I've never had a bad game and the kiddo is picking it up quick, only having one D20 to worry about is helpful. She really enjoys building up her war band and leveling up her wizard. Hoping to bang out a few more games next week.

Nice! Always good to have kids enjoy the hobby

The imperial guard stand ready to defend the gates before the onslaught of the ruinous powers

5th ed apocalypse level game







We stuck that in between a demo game of our hybrid 5th ed of guard VS admech




and a little spectre operations "modern combat" test game.

2 games vs tzeentch with ogors and khorne.

Weird games. We both thought list with loc, pinks and flamers was stronger than acolyte/tzaangor/skyfire list. I thought ogors would fare better vs mortals with khorne with anti magic options(only defence ogors had was heroic action)but dice put ogors vs loc.

Well i got double so was able to get charge that caused horrible damage battleshock included.magic wiped then my Infantry ogors in center and cavalry but frostlord terrorised all. In the end 40-29 win as by turn 4 he had just some heroes really.

Khorne was opposite result. Skarbrand got shot and finished in melee, acolytes and skyfires were terror. Bloodthirster was killed, summoned(slaughterpriest had to sacrifice wounds to other slaughterpriest), charged and did stuff and getting double charged into skyfires. For sake of vp's　had to attack elsewhere so bloodthirster got killed...30-11 for tzeentch

Pic of daemons was on last round. I summoned 2nd　bloodthirster and failed to charge. Game was done and winner clear so he magicked, shot and charged with loc for lols. I ended up worse off nearly dead...

1000 points Sunday bash on a 4x4





Tyranids lost objectives

1,000 point game of Mythic Americas, Aztecs vs Tribal Nations in the "Build Altars for the Gods" scenario. Aztecs won 4-2 with help from their secondary objectives.

Riot Quest post game winners and losers.

Using the solo adventure rules from White Dwarf 458 I played a quick game in which all my heroes got mauled by Ogres. The Paladin was crushed by an Ogre charge but the Freeguild General and his Wizard companion managed to kill all the Sabre Tusks and Ogres except one. That single Ogre had 1 wound left staring down a lone Peasant Bowmen Villein. He charged rolling double 6...and then failed to roll a single 6 on the Ogre charge roll, so no Mortal wounds. It then proceeded to miss all its attacks.

On the next turn, with all hope lost the Villein 360 no scoped and hit the Ogre finishing its last wound off saving the day for the heroes.

We did a quick classic kill team match to get a guard player up to speed.

i totally forgot to take pictures. i was down to 2 sternguard but held the objective until the end. i got the win but my scout is out of action due to injury next game, and my librarian took an arm wound leading to a loss of -1 strength

The stuff i did remember to take pics of-

spectre ops modern combat-scenerio was basically 7 days to die survive the zombie hordes and get to the extraction point.



We also managed to get a little classic battletech in.

I put together a small battle report here:

https://imgur.com/gallery/RA21u4T

Ptg campaign started with 4 games. Stormcast vs gargant(loss), orruks(win), cities of sigmar(win) and seraphon(loss).

Vindictors and annihilatois rocked, crossbow solid, imperator solid commander, lousy combat.

1k lumineth vs sons of behemoth, loss. Mountain spirit whiffed hard and small giants wore him down. Got mega gargant dead(yey) but on death Killed big cow which meant i had no real way to keep rest of army alive enough to score on that scenario.

Then 2k slaves to darkness vs seraphon. Looked grim after his 1st command phase with 20 mortal wounds(i had 87 total) and after shooting 3/6 chariots dead.

Dark prophecy told i'm getting double. So archaon on turn 2 with double fight from chaos lord tore through saurus guard and fought again killing slann. 3 varanguard and chaos chariot meanwhile killed 6 terradons, their chieftain and 2 razordon's.

Got to be one of most devastating turns i have ever had.

Scenario gave him still chance to win since he doubled back but slim chance failed and it was a game,

Another packed house at the FLGS last night with a bunch of new faces, always a good time.

We started of things with a couple big multi-player classic 5th ed kill teams with 4 plaers startign in the 4 corners of the map in 10" box deployment zones. It was marines in 2 corners( loaned out one of my spare kill teams), imperial guard and orks. the second was a different set of objectives with one of the marine players swapping out for a tau force.

Sadly i was having so much fun with the game i completely forgot about pictures until the end of the second game. so all i have is pictures of the table



We then moved on to a quick game of 1v1 battletech kurita VS capellan stealth gakkery



Then we ended the night with a little demo game of DUST 1947





On the next table over some friends were running a spectre ops game with one of the big 3d printed space ships from 2nd dynasty designs

Leitdorf! The bases on those Empire minis look great! Did you do 'em with Greenstuff World rollers?

Is that ship resin?? Holy hell, that must have taken forever and have some serious weight to it

3d printed via canvas temple ebay store under contract from 2nd dynasty designs

https://www.ebay.com/sch/canvastemple/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_ipg=&_from=


considering the price it was a great deal for something that's over 30" long

Ahhh it is indeed PLA, looks really smooth tho. $125 is a good price for it - if it were resin it would cost that and more in materials, no idea how much PLA goes into it

Couple more games of path to glory vs gargants, soulbligght and orruks. Last one was bloodpath with lone annihilator and warboss surviving the game.

Annihilators were mvp as they cut through to ritual site cutting orruks from scoring ritual.
