Pulp Alley's Innsmouth Gold scenario. Pirates raid a remote coastal town, searching for ancient treasure. They find more than they bargained for.

Got a classic back out on the table recently: Wings of War.

FLGS adventures-

Games i played

1k TAU VS DARK ANGELS 5th ed house rules 3rd ed DA codex VS 4th ed TAU codex-

Tough battle. all DA vehicles were immobilised or weapon destroyed out of the game save the deathwing dread that got wrecked, all the battle brother fell. only azrael survived the battle.





B5 wars Star Wars-the big guns. home 1 with escorts breaking out from an imperial ambush by a belator class super star destroyer(with interdictor in tow). -




Battle tactics WWII in flames of war scale.





A big game of 9th. going on the back table.

Blood drinkers vs eldar. First 2k and 2nd game with these.

We wrapped after 3rd round. Was ahead lot and 2 bright lances past inv failing to kill biker captain left open route to score blade of sanquinus. 4/5 objectives on control and eldar few in number i would be winning pretty solidly.

Skaaaarbraaaand!

Damn he got to shine and with help of blood tithe managed to turn game and when i passed 4 4+ saves won game(1 out of 3 failing was ok,passing　those and failing d6 damage ok 1/3 times).

His kill tally: 2 zombie dragon, 5 blood knights, 20 skeletons, 3 direwolves, lauka vai.

Was feeling totally screwed after t2 but skarbrand carried the day to 39-35 victory in one of the closest and intense games this year i have had.

some warmachine 50 points of khador VS cygnar- manOwar VS trenchers. very close game.

2 games between blood drinkers and emperors children with polar opposite results. First i crushed 86-39. Then we both switched lists(premade) and scenario and both worked his favour. Vindicator was unstoppable nightmare and slaanesh strike first was giving me headaches. After round 3 i would have max 15vp if chaplain survives and he was already clocking over 60 after his t4.

First game with cities of sigmar(settler's gain) vs thunder lizards. Close fought game. He gave me double t2 but effect wasn't that big and gave me trouble deciding do i give return double or allow him to burn objective but 3 monsters hitting my lines was eck. Turn 4 big thing was can my general(anointed on phoenix) survive or not. If yes game won, if not game is on. He died and didn't heal back on 4+. T5 i literally had no battletactic i could score. He needed to kill my battlemage, take center objective, kill lone handgunner and get sentinels down to 4 or less(no longer wizard denying grand strategy). He did all that...damn slann!

20-20 vp, battletactics even, neither got grand strategy, pure draw O_o

3 games vs father and his sons. First ogor vs kruleboy. With just 2 of his heroes left he won 35-25. Next vs other son gloomspite vs ironjaw. Got lucky break when mangler boss managed to kill megaboss. He still had chance with hand of gork but failed. 27-25.

Last game vs father cities of sigmar vs soulblight. I got priority on turn 3 forcing him to take double which more or less decided game. I held on 2 objectives body blocking to my home objective so he couldn't get there where 20 crossbots were peppering enemy and evocators were killing stuff. 30-23 win.

Game 2



Specter ops



A small 7th ed game of 40K SOB VS salamanders



One we have not played in a while-castles in the sky



And something you do not see very often-the original set of Schaffers last chancers joining in a kill team game against marines with "hero" managing to tie the game by being a hero

Our first game of This is Not a test. A cannibal gang faced off against some Esch... I mean Raiders. While I technically did not play in that game, I did my best to annoy both players, look up rules and take photos ... table, the cannibal gang and motivation courtesy of one lord_blackfang

Adria is our national Airliner ... but it recently went bankrupt, so it's ok ...







Pops and Maw Maw, the leaders of the gang





Petunia and some .. cousins?



Dr. Crackpot might be a few test tubes short of a full drawer, but he's never let that deter his daily field visits of the "patients" in need of a lobotomy ... the whole family are sworn vegans - wouldn't touch anything that technically isn't a plant.





An easter egg/hommage to another postapoc game our group likes very much ...



Helga of the raider gang standing on some truly impassable terrain

I had a 2000pt GT Mission pack game with my Chaos Knights vs Tyranids. Close game, but lots of fun.

I always like to see some Castles in the Sky!

I played some Wars of the Republic which is on pre-order from Osprey in the Wargaming Series. Republican Romans vs. Greeks.



You can read all the details on the blog!

First game of WMH in quite some time, Circle vs Cryx, minimal terrain, no objectives due to rusty rules know wot, didn't get to a result before home time...

Blood drinkers vs death guard. My t2 was catastrophically bad with crawler soaking melta at ease and 10 dreadnought fist, 1 force halberd and 5 attacks from chaplain with rr for hit and wound and dam4 did grand total of 4 damage. All 10 fist attack at 3+ missed...noooo!

Middle of his t4(he went first) i calculated he will be quaranteed 66 plus no prisoner and short of him stopping killing me and walking out of objectives i'm at 51 and max 15 primary to score so he wins with no prisoner by just sitting at objectives.

Crusade campaign continues with my Echoes of Eisenstein pushing the attack on the Tau who had previously been put on the run, now intercepting their supply drops. Good game which could have gone either way before the end, as my Contemptor failed to put a dent on the Broadsides which in turn destroyed it immediately but the sheer doggedness of my terminators carried the day once again in the end. While Captain-Commander Erasmus, the terminator lord, was an absolute boss and refused to die while being bombarded with meltas, Breachers, Riptide relics and whatnots (remaining at one wound after turn 2 until the end ), my favorite moment was still when my witch, Magister Hektor, managed to kill the Coldstar Commander first by smiting it near death and then exploding in a warp implosion, taking the commander with him when he tried to buff himself up for a charge (rerolling a 12 into a 2 on the psychic test, it was meant to be...)

The Xhorik 87th Drop Troops raid a traitor militia train.

Blood drinkers vs wolves. Both armies wanting same but him bit better, i chose blade of sanguinus out of principle and his shield dreadnought stopped me in track. We called it after my 3. Center totally his which doomed my secondaries and primary i was relegated to home objective. 40-82.

Missed out on pictures of the flames of war group but i did snap these-



Some old school kill teams featuring the last chancers





Then we got in some classic battletech-davion heavy guards VS Lyran guards.

Wow that is a very large centerpiece! Looks great, what is it made of?

It is part of the tau city terrain from micro art studio it is hard foam and MDF

Although it looks like they have discontinued it as they only have the hab buildings and the smaller tower on the store page now-

https://shop.microartstudio.com/en/160-hardfoam

Looks like they discontinued the tau defense walls as well in resin but they still have the cargo crate sets

https://shop.microartstudio.com/en/tabletop-scenery/547-tauceti-cargo-crates-set-1-4.html

I have gotten spoiled by 3d printing now with my terrain purchases, the hard foam stuff was a neat idea but unless you have a place to store it and transport it safely it can get scratched and gouged up

Wars of the Republic from Osprey at the Book Launch party. Successor Greeks vs. Republican Romans.

Blood drinkers vs new players orks. Orks got kills big time but sanguinary guard, blade veterans and librarian dreadnought blocked road to key objective in center long enough i won 66-44. But my army was more or less spent.
