Played our first Moroch mission yesterday (Infiltrate the Landing Pad).

Managed to table my opponent but was too slow to advance to the landing pad and lost 12-3

This was my first game playing with Kommandos and I loved the way the team plays! Might be my favourite Kill Team yet.

The Sentry phase is fun, adds a lot to the game IMO

This was us on Saturday:



That Treeman Ancient managed to lure 3 units (the fourth failed the charge roll) into the woods. One whack to the waggon later, and it slipped away into the woods and left them all to get nibbled by the tree sprites.

First time on receiving end of skarbrand. With wrathmongers even more ridiculous though imo goes to silly overkill. 32 mw plus other attacks as minimum generally clears targets anyway


Blood sisters are nuts. The new mw ability is crazy good.

A BattleTech game I was in this evening.
Comstar vs Comstar. Equal tonnage.
My force:
Hussar x1
Sentinel x1
Lancelot x2
Flashman x1

my foe:
King Crab x1
Highlander x1
Blacknight x1

The battle ended with my Hussar dead from 3 engine crits, the King Crab blown to bits via an ammo explosion, and the Blacknight reduced to somehow still functional mangled scrap.
The Highlander surrendered.

We had a big flames of war event going on tonight, however i only snapped a picture of one of the 4 tables.




We had a 3 way 40K game happening on the back table



Then it was lots of warmachine-

Khador VS Trenchers (cygnar)



Khador VS Skorne



Skorne VS convergence

Not an actual game but just wanted to show my newly setup gaming table:

Sad face......no image.

@aphyon

I will say that Warmachine is a game I tried once, but couldn't get into it, but I played Convergance when I did. I never had that giant model in the picture, but it looks very cool!

I played a game of 40k with my Chaos Knights vs my buddies Aeldari (won the game, after a really good T1 took out his wave serpent and fire dragons.



Then played some underworlds, my Skaeth's Wild Hunt fighting through the nethermaze agaisnt my buddies Shadeborn.

My Grots vs Orks.

Victory: Orks - by alot.
Because it was one of those games where I couldn't roll to hit or wound. Makes the game alot more challenging when that happens.

Honestly i did not care for it in MK I or MKII but MKIII was a big improvement in my book as far as game rules go. that got my interest. the convergence battle engine or what everybody likes to call "the boot" is a fantastic model and quite good rules wise.

I completely understand what you mean though. i feel the same about Star Wars legion. i am an old school Star Wars fan, and i like the models, but the game mechanics are huge turn off.

CCS you have mini tanks! so did a fight break out in the grot mega tank because they were fighting over who was going to push the buttons?

Spacesheeps ! Ended in quite the stuffing for my First Order, but that'll happen is you keep flipping Hull Breach and Direct Hits cards

Had a few games of Dystopian Wars at the summer house.

Hofer/Aldi has these great folding picnic tables for half the price of identical folding "wargaming" tables.

Apparently.
Between 2 Mega Tanks, 4 grot tanks, & 3 big gunz Kannon? All they managed to do was obliterate 1 Def Dread, do about 1/4 damage to the Squig Boss, kill a handful of boyz (most via an explosion), and die.
And we just won't talk about the failure of the Red Gobbo.
The foot grots & 2 lobbas were not up to the task of doing thier jobs + picking up the slack + winning the game. You can only ask so much from grots on foot....
Though honorable mention has to go to the grot Nebelwurfer (lobba) team. They ALMOST dropped the squig boss on a desperate overwatch volly.
It was left at 1 wound & proceeded to run down and eat everything I had left during turn 4+. :(
This rampage clearly unnerved the dwindling survivors as they completely failed to hit/wound the beast during those last two turns.

Another game in my mini campaign. Orks break through the outer defense. Krieg rush to fill the gap but fail to stop the penetration. All games will use dense terrain from now on.

Today is a good day to addict....er i mean demo games for players, to expand their horizons...yeah that's the ticket.


The first game was the big 7 player specter operations campaign game.




There were a couple battletech games being played but i only spnapped a shot of this one.



Then i ran 3 players through 2 games of infinity N2 (my favorite version of the game) at 250 points with a djanbazan sectorial VS a hassassin (mostly muyibs) sectorial (man it has been a while since i last got a game of infinity in). with positive results.



We ended the night with BFG- a new list for battlefleet bakka VS a tzeentch themed fleet and then a khorne themed fleet-





I already have 3 demo games scheduled for next week for 3 different systems.......there is not enough time in a single day for all the gaming that needs to happen.

3 game tournament with khainites. Nighthaunts(win), sylvaneth(got annihilated) and nighthaunts(win). Guess i was on ghostbusting crusade?

A small game of KoW, played in 10mm scale

Had a nice friendly game over the weekend, Tau vs Space Wolves. Because he was still relatively new I ran 1500pts against his 2k.

Took a Coldstar with a Flamer, Thermo Projector and Shield Generator as a distraction unit. Charged by a Primaris Bike Chaplain and somehow not only survived with no damage, but also killed the Chaplain including 2 wounds without using the Thermo.

Later on a Rune Priest thought he'd have a go, same thing. This was after the Priest perils'ed himself trying to Smite the Commander.

10mm Kings of war looks great.

Battletech this past week.
It did not end well for the Catapult/Dervish team - though they did eventually shoot a leg off the Cyclops a few turns after this pic was taken...

The Battle of Corunna, using General d'Armee and 15mm miniatures.

Three French infantry brigades, an artillery brigade, and a cavalry brigade against two on-table British infantry brigades and two off-table brigades.

Thanks.

The rulesystem is well suited for smaller scale. No individual model removal and easy to measure manouvers (no weird hard to measure stuff like wheeling)

Got in a big (1000 power) game of Death Guard vs. marines for our campaign last weekend. Great fun had by all:

Now that's hell of a game. 1k power per side or total?

Total - the wide shot shows about 1/3rd of the board!

You going to post a full report Gordy?

Also, did the two sides just line up across from one another and then start fighting?

Yes to the report (eventually) and kind of re set up.

The Death Guard set up in depth (they were all DC’s collection - a true labour of gruesome love), mostly to fit everything in. I think I counted 6 ‘haulers and 7 drones. Countless legionaries. The marines set up on the back line to get maximum firing time.

Turn 2, a Great Unclean One, Scabiethax and about 40 Blight Lord and Death Shroud terminators deep struck and it was all on!

Here’s a pic from late game after mass casualties on both sides - as you can see we used most of the available space!

Weekend wrap up at the FLGS-

The early crew started strong, by the time i arrived after 2pm they already had

flames of war and 2 big games of 30K in full swing








The regular evening crew filtered in and on the menu was

specter operations



infinity



A couple big games of BattleTech alpha strike-






Then we come to the games i had pre-scheduled-

A little DUST 1947 demo game at around 130 points-fallshirmjaeger VS US heavy rangers......rangers took the day but at a very heavy cost



And the finale of the night for me- B5 wars/star wars conversion using armada ships.

Trio of games vs friend and his two sons.


Dirst dok vs cos&sce. Started horribly losing heartrenders and unit of blood sisters for 3 pistolier and 1 demigryph(which mostly fixed coherency for him...). Double for him and half bow snakes and he smartly stayed so far only got remaining pistoliers gambling for counter double which failed so things looked bleak...however after redeploy 8" charge from fulminators failed. 2 snake units cleared them and cauldron took down demigryph. He got cauldron but 2 snakes cleared rest.

Then witch elf dok vs nurgle. The nurgle durability hurt my charge dependant army and split army badly. My army got worn by war of attrition. Need more lessons with non-snakes.

Third game. 1 blood thirster khorne vs mawkrusha rogue idol tag team. Both wanted to avoid exposing big hitter first. I won priority making him go first. This gave me chance to tag mawkuska with skullcrushers and winning r3 prio got thirster there. 4 hits, 3 6's for 12mw to his every unit. Game over...

Was in good spot even had he went first r3. R2 forcing him to take double was big.

Pair of crusade games. First vs word bearers and then dark angels.

Tale of leviathan that took out total of 7 units and survived both games taking total of 10 wounds.

Not bad in inefficient double melee loadout. 2nd melee weapon's attack didn't even do anything.
