What type of TIE is between the Interceptor and Defender in the first pic?

And is that a Gunboat in the second pic, or a Missileboat?

The first pic is a TIE agressor but it was close enough to the correct look that we run it as a tie advanced.



Pic 2 is the gunboat

A little more MCP and a blast from the past:

First time facing custodians. We used new ca. 4+ ward vs mortals made 5 dreadnoughts and terminators hard to stop and he overran objectives hard. Attempt to use secondaries that don't require killing failed hard.

Gits vs nighthaunt so tough matchup. Looked baddish r3 beginning when after i gave ghosts t2 double failed to counter double. R4 however did get it and thanks to 10 bounders on rampage got solid lead with ghosts on corner.

Had i used my general conservatively almost quaranteed win but khorne mode activated and went to kill general. 6" redeploy and 11" charge failed.


However he failed to kill bounders by 1 wound failing bt quaranteeing in. 4vp lead and he can score max 4 and i score minium 2.

Had that died he won priority so game might been decided on my turn casting roll.

Not 40k, or even minis, but still the last game I played:
Axis & Allies: 1914

The Central Powers claimed victory at the end of turn 3.
Well, actually the other team claimed defeat.....
Russia collapsed to thier own revolution, Britain was confined to its island & to limited production in India, and both France + Italy were next to shattered.
Meanwhile Germany, Austria, & the Ottomans were going full steam production wise.
The US entering play on turn 4 was not going to change the situation.

Big Marvel night this week.

Ran Fistful of Lead and demos of In Country at Siege of Augusta. Will run tomorrow too if your in the AO.

Quick updates-this weekends games-

Oldhammer 40K-guard VS dark angels-

That modern setup looks amazing CptJake

Castles in the Sky! Woot! Woot!

I might be getting a game of it in this week myself!

Teaching AoS this evening:
My Khorne demons vs a mostly Elf based Cities of Sigmar force.

Game had to end on turn three.
Victory: Khorne - by 1 vp. Although that lead would have grown substantially if we'd gotten to play all 5 rounds.
And I'm sure my Elf loving opponent will improve greatly as he plays more.

Total lopsided win. Khorne mean hard counter. Forgot blood throne, gave him chance to kill skarbrand for lolz and still toward end of my t3 had nearly tabled him with 57-4 vp lead.

Thank you. I used buildings from Sarissa, Black Site Studio, Death Ray Designs and scatter from some of those and others (like the Mantic wrecked cars). Roads were Deep Cut Studio and the mat is Battle Systems. The game needs lots of LOS breaking terrain, and since I was running demos I wanted it to look good to help attract players. I tried hard to make a cool looking but game functional setup. I have to admit the large Sarissa ruined building is one of my favorites, three levels all pretty easily accessible without having to take it apart. Very good for skirmish gaming.

First game with new ghb. Cos vs slaanesh. Scenario the one where r2 onward player can remove objective so as i kept winning priorities i kept refusing to take double and ensured objectives are where i am. Thanks to this r3-4 he got zero primary while i got 6.

After his t4 was over we called it. I would be 8vp lead and delete most of his army and likely score my gs(+3) which denies him of his. I estimate final score would have been 24/25-9 /11 depending t5 priority and does some units survive my charges.

Tried 40k Boarding Action this evening.
Typhus & the Deathguard vs SM (Ravenguard).
Pictures should tell the story....

Kill Team with Orks vs. Space Marines 2: Marine Harder.

I won on VPs, but lost every single one of my boyz, and killed a single Space Marine 2.

Super close game of MCP. Osborn nearly had it until Cable killed 3/4's of the team with a well placed AoE:

Magnus to take charge from trans c'tan and skorpeks. Survived with 1 wound.

The games tonight-

classic BattleTech-






40K



Monster apocalypse






I also did a game os B5 wars/star wars X-wing scale, but the pictures came out blurry.

Testing out some of the upcoming Mk4 Khador releases with some of the newly released Orgoth stuff:



Got a long odds assassination in. Probably could have won the long game but it was close to dinner time:

My 1st Bolt Action game in several years.
My newly built & partially base coated US force vs a borrowed German force run by a kid looking to try the game for the 1st time.

The US was intentionally built as inexperienced.
(I figured that was appropriate given this force didn't exist until last Tue & had never seen play. )
The Germans were a mix of regular & Vet.

Rather slow learning/re-learning game.
Where we stopped the kid was winning 4-0.

Now the kids doing his research as to what force interests him.

Poseidon's Warriors from Osprey games. Persians vs. Ionians during the Ionian Revolt.



You can read the gory details on the Blood and Spectacles blog:

Second game with new ghb. Scenario(picked by opponent) Favoured me though. He had lose-lose choice on who goes first. I go first, vp will be likely 5-1 r1 and he will strugle to get more than 1 t2 but double shooting before i hit lines. He goes first and if i get double nightmare.

Well i was made first, his t1 shooting was inefficient and he rolled 1 for r2 priority. I smashed most of his army and blood tithe used to keep thirster safe from cannons but why bother? 6 for both power and poof.

R3 prio still me and main reason he would have models left would be me keeping them alive to farm battletactics...

This evenings 40k game:
CSM (Iron Warriors) vs SM (Ravenguard) + a very large Freeblade Kight.

Victory: Iron Warriors - by ALOT of VP. Good game though.

In the photos:
The loyalist knight (with 4 wounds left) vs the IW relic Contemptor dreadnought (an old FW IW dread model) with 3 wounds left.
The IW dreadnought charged & tore the knight apart.

Sentinels!

Game night update....well there was some RPG stuff going on and a group play MTG, but we don't need pictures of that.



Other games-infinity



Games i was in-

Classic Battle Tech-




Monster apocalypse-






And to end the night some oldhammer 3.5 ed chaos iron warriors VS 7th ed ADMECH.

3 games of aos and lotr. One was gitz vs tzeentch where dices caused surreal turn as kairos got outmagicked by gits, got shot by accurate arrows(huh?) And stabbed to death by spears...but boy fought well anyway exploiting my mistake. 6 enlightened getting stuck with 40 gobbos forever and ogoroit thaumaturg failing to do 8 damage to no save guys cost him game though.

Last game exhaustion settling in(4 games with goblin horde being one...) and i went all in. Either victory or death!


Well it was victory. After my t2 not much left from sigmags boys.

Some start positions of a hostage rescue scenario. Forgot to take in game pics. Used In Country as the rule set.

Today's 40k game:
500 pts, painted Deathguard vs unpainted Deathguard. (Each of us brought Typhon)

Winner: painted Deathguard.
