Had our first "Last Stand" KT21 game today. Didn't have time to finish the game, played until the end of turning point 5. My trusty Squad Lorenzo managed to cause 123 wounds to the Orks during the match, I lost two Marines, and had lost 2 out of 3 objectives by the end. All in all I enjoyed the match, playing without the Tac Ops cards felt nice (one less thing to think about), although I didn't really use my additional Assets that well, Ammo cache with the plasmagunner worked a treat.

We will be playing more Last Stand missions for sure! It's a nice change of pace from typical "VPs are everything" objective-based missions. Next one will be my mate's Deathwatch or Phobos team defending against a neverending tide of the Blooded..

Game night update for 9/17/22

40K



specter operations



Now the games i played-

B5 wars -star wars-clone wars era



5th ed 40K

khorne (3.5) VS salamanders (5.0)

Poor deathwatch got slaughtered. Their first 2 turns whiffed hard result'na just 7 bloodletter and minor damage to soul grinder and skarbrand.


T2 i bring my army in and wipe most of his heavy hitters. R3 i kill rest leaving just mopping up. 82-24. 3 vp i could have got leaving 2 units alive t4 for grind on my 5th but whatever.

0 units lost.

Much blood was shed for the Blood God that day!

Gangs of Hive City mini campaign from this past weekend. Femmes versus Cults.

Won vs nighthaunts but somehow lady ollynder survived this O_o

First loss with daemons. 18 units of orks were trading too efficiently and 6 objectives was rough. Going 2nd(again) hurt a lot as well.

I was murdering generally what i touched but his counter punch took out units steadily. Eventually lost control of objectives. At the start of r5 at best, assuming my units don't die to his last shooting, i lose by 10 if i go for objectives, 14-16 if i go kill for lolz.

Can someone tell me why I don't keep up with this thread? Its just loaded with awesome/exciting stuff. I'll contribute with some recent games:

Last night's Warmachine mk3:



Playtesting Mk4 with proxies:





A couple games of Malifaux:





And MCP.... soooooo much MCP....

Can someone tell me why I don't keep up with this thread?

Because you are not one of the cool kids?


Great pics BTW keep them coming.

Played a game of Marvel: Crisis Protocol last night, Dark Dimension into Guardians of the Galaxy. Narrowly managed a win, after finally flipping the Skrull and holding it for a few turns.

Ran small 1 day tournament with entrance fees to cancer charity.

My ogors won cities of sigmar, annihilated seraphon and eeked out win vs archaon netting me tournament win O_o

That was very thoughtful, Tneva82, and it looks like it was a good game too. Well done.

Fyreslayers vs cities of sigmar. Down to last rolls. Can phoenix kill runeson? Cos win 22-21. Not? 21-20.


Survived with 3 wounds.

Griffons and the Phoenix are two of my favorite mythological monsters and yours are absolutely beautiful.

I'm tempted to grab the models even though I don't play fantasy.

Packed house at the FLGS again tonight. 3 DnD groups were in along with all the war gamers. almost every table in use.

I was the dwarf but i'll relay compliments to th friend whose model it is

Played in a 6 person Marvel: Crisis Protocol tournament on Saturday.

Round 1, I played Dormammu into Web Warriors, and won, primarily due to very good rolling. (forgot to take a picture)

Round 2, I dropped Wakanda into SHIELD, and lost 13-19. No experience playing against them, and just lost to a better player.

Round 3, I dropped Dormammu into X-Men, and won 17-13. Guy complained about my dice, about Dorammu, and about the scenario he ended up playing until he finally left.

2-1 was good enough for 2nd place, with the SHIELD player placing first . Not too bad for my first MCP tournament.

Oh I see are the Fyreslayers dwarves and the phoenix/griffins high elves?

Viking age battle between the Hibernian Irish and Viking raiders bent on stealing the cattle!

Khorne daemons vs nidzilla. I stopped game midway due to opponent getting so salty and nothing seemed to improve his mood(offering free #hooting when he said he hadn't heard i denied psychic which would have altered shooting plan. Fine i said. Shoot again and old results still stand).

Did learn to respect how durable these are initially to low number high power weapons wihout full rerolls. I didn't take much damage despite 2 exocines and 2 tyranofexes.

And got to keep in mind the bloodletter move in combat phase stratagem. Been overflowing with cp anyway and can lead to surprising threat range#.

Great to see giant models brawling with one another. How did the bloodcrushers do this game?

Hard to say. They dented carnifex and then I got tired of the saltiness(not sure what started it. I admit it's possible I caused it somehow. Certainly he claims to have misheard when I said denied. It's possible I did say something to the effect of "no, denied" and he misheard. He then said he would have shot differently and I offered him to shoot as he would have with old damage standing but didn't improve game mood one bit) and packed away.

They did the mission action that requires surviving to your own turn which was good. 4 T5 4w models with 4+ daemon save and -1 to hit(he can't get within 12") seemed safe enough especially as he had soul grinder and bloodthirster as further worries. Damage was less stellar but only one combat and carnifexes are not ideal targets anyway. Actually among the worst possible with T7, 2+ save and negating dam2 from hellblades...

On saturday will be facing death guard. Maybe use them more for objectives/actions if possible as the -1 dam will neuter these a lot...

The move on enemy combat phase was fun stratagem though. They went from my objective with about 8" charge if I move normally to the carnifex in center to 1" from carnifex straight to combat and get vp from reality rebel middle.

Wish game had continued. Think it was still either way. OTOH my initial charge was less stellar than I had hoped with just 1 carnifex and 1 tyranofex killed but had tagged another carni and exocrine. My 8w cap bloodthirster safe from hive tyrant that ignores the cap and as for bloodthirsters 4w to one was all the damage I had taken. I had scored 2 turns secondaries while his 1st turn was flat 0 but he would get hold more 2nd turn unlike me. How skarbrand survives his 2nd turn would have been critical. Big bases and terrain bottlenecks but no -1 to hit this time(for one I'm close. For 2nd I used them to reduce leadership to negate ld10 effect and score my secondary easier).

Yeah I wouldn't sweat it too much, sometimes people get overly frustrated when playing the game and it doesn't go well for them.

Oh wow, I haven't been keeping up with the Chaos Daemon's codex but sounds like some pretty impressive changes with 4++ and moving out of phase.

Agreed on Carnifex (and many giant bugs in general) where the -1D hurts a lot when your army is packing 2DMG. My Orks & Custodes struggle with that quite a bit.

Once I get everything unpacked I'll have to check out the Daemon Codex, I haven't run my bloodletters or crushers in a long time.

Bloodcrushers did well vs marines but ork squigriders and carnifex were tougher ones. Saturday another tough day coming vs dg. Maybe use to camp objectives? Too tough to bother with greater daemons.

When you are wounding on 4+ or better and dam2 matters it's sweet. S4 t4 w2 ideal targets.

Greater daemons been tough to deal short of massive ork swarms.

Had my second game as part of the Ontario 40k League. Tie 78 to 78 vs Leviathan Tyranids with my Chaos Knights. Lost out on the win due to poor target priority turn 3, big mistake and I should have lost the game because of it. Incredibly close game from turn 1 to the end. (I had to kill a broodlord in order to get enough points to tie the game).

Great trees and table jaredb

Thanks man, it is my buddies table, so I can't take credit for anything but the knights, but it was fun to play on!

Those are some lovely trees and great paint jobs on both sides!

Played a 3-player variant of the Kommandant rules for Warmachine MK III. My Cryx vs Circle vs Khador. We had to call it before completion, but I was up by one point, but unlikely to win given the way things were moving (the Khador player was likely to pull out the win).
