I'm not familiar with the AoS endless spells but it looked like a big evil spikey terrain piece from a first glance. Sounds neat

Had a last Apocalypse game to finish 9th. Basically bring whatever you can, this was my humble offering.

Looks like fun, what were the other players running in the apocalypse game?

Some Bolt Action tonight.
My WiP US Army + another players Brits held the field against the Finns.

The MVP of the game was my flamethrower team.
They torched the Finns T34, depriving them of any viable AT capability. This forced the Finns player to concede as he couldn't deal with our armor.

The Cursed Cathedral

The Cathedral called once again, to animate the bones of myself and my fallen comrades. We had assaulted the Cathedral, only to find the bony fate that would beheld us once we fell as well. Tired, desiring even a slumberless rest, not all of us knitted back our bones to obey the needs of the Cathedral. Its prey of flesh was across the river, and we trudged forward, dimly aware of their living, but not of the bolts and arrows that pelted our bodies. The Cathedral even summoned a boatload of undead, led by a Grim Knight, though I saw it fallen first with a well-placed bolt to the head. As we made our way across the river, I saw the boat, the lifeless undead returning to mere lifelessness. As arrows pierced my body, I returned to nothingness as well, free of the Cursed Cathedral.

Game store update time.

Loads of games happening, forgot to take pictures of the guys playing konflict 47 as i was setting up tables for our games.

Loaned out my allies to boost an army for DUST 1947 for this game-




keeping with the WWII theme,
flames of war USSR VS brits-



classic battle tech-



oldhammer 40K 3.5 chaos VS 5th ed imperial guard.



warmachine MK III legion VS mercenaries.



My games-

Classic 40K 5th ed salamanders VS 5th ed imperial guard.



Classic battle tech clan heavy star VS 2 inner sphere lances.



A little artillery battle-classic battle tech 2nd deiron regulars VS the lexington combat group mercs-



Lastly -classic victory at sea-



british north seas anti-raider force fighting in the pacific for some reason.

Bolt Action and Sword Weirdo’s

Nice photos! Is that the old monk mini from the 3.0 D&D Chainmail reboot?

Blood drinkers vs death guard. 67-69. Secondaries mine but he dominated primaries. 6 terminator and hero pushed servo skull to my zone scoring 33 alone...

And i gave 3 vp to his secondary when gladiator lancer shot his rhino denying it, then rhino blew and killed marine giving secondary. Nooo!

(that literally won him game)

Anti infantry firepower poured 2 turns. Terminators lead charge. Necrons just refuse to die

Ironjaws vs khorne. Bloodthirster and skarbrand died doing nothing but soak attacks but bodycount just ran short for objectives. 8" rerollable charge succeeded also and t4 took wrong battle tactic wh:ch resulted in half hearted attack leaving 20 letters alive

Khaine vs khorne. Jaws of gallet. Made mistake going first. Then was in icky spot give double and lose chunks or take priority and my objectlves burned. And blood tithe used to tag me so primary points were 3 2 1 and for last 2 turns can't while he scores 3 every turn.

R3 bottom 21-10 for sure before factoring in bt's and gs's for r4&5...

I rolled horrible scenarios for both of matches...

Blood angel mechanised force vs death guard. 69-61 win. Hero of match humble tactical squad on rhino scoring all 25 of my primaries baal predator also 10 and took out cultist squad.

Blood drinkers against death guard again. Terminators busy at backlines giving me 3/5 objectives and i focused on non-terminators reducing him to 2 units of terminators. Both almost maxed secondaries but 50-30 primaries flipped. Largely helped by 15-5 post game score.

First outing with nids. 1.5k. We wrapped it after 3 rounds. I'm at lead and death guard nearly tabled with tyranids swarming over every objective.

Key moment on turn 2 unleashing shadow in the warp with terminator blob failing. Allowed screamer killer and swarmlord take them out while plague marines were bombarded.

Swarmlord boss taking out hero and 2 terminators with epic duel.

Had another Killteam game yesterday, and finally grabbed my first win in a Critical Ops "Secure" mission, scoring 14-9. We played for 5 turning points instead of 4 because we were playing on a 4x4' table again, I'd say 5-6 turning points is perfect for this size of board (as long as both teams have a standard 3WHITE movement stat..) and I love the more cinematic feel of a bigger board in Killteam. We added an inch to the objective marker distances (so BLUE instead of WHITE from each other ) to keep em more in scale with the larger board as well.

I got to a great start during the first turning points (My scion gunner killing that pesky ML heretic in one overcharged plasma shot), but then started making dumb mistakes, which almost cost me the game.. Luckily, by the time I started getting beaten, my VP lead had grown large enough to still secure a victory. My funniest operative must have been a Scion comms guy (you might have seen him in my KT21 plog), he had a medikit and was supposed to heal my other operatives, but ended up getting shot a bunch and in the end had to heal himself twice

All in all, a quite enjoyable game. I actually like how the Compendium guard team plays, keeps it simple stupid, so that this game I didn't even forget to use most of my ploys etc

Ran In Country/INX demos at a local shop yesterday. Had two 2x2 set ups.

Weekend update.

My game was only one very large clan invasion scenario for classic battletech.

Avenged! (Sort of)

*thunk*

Scute never did like that his almost-twin brother, Cod, ran off with that "From the Woods" warband, much less that his brother was the only one to die on their watch. Scute's only reminder of his brother was his brother's scarecrows, three rather unwholesome looking things that stood over his unimpressive plot of land. Cod was buried under one of the trees on the farm, next to his scarecrows that he was unwholesomely fond of. And the "From the Woods" warband had the temerity to return, requesting lodging as part of their Ride Patrol. Freeloaders. But, that morning, Scute would feel a little grateful of the warband's presence as they refreshed themselves near the village well, and send arrows and bolts into the attacking robbers, the last of whom fled away, leaving two arrows in his felled fellow townsfolk, and one more in the still-standing scarecrows.

This weeks games-
classic battle tech







Big flames of war event-









infinity-



my games-

Some DUST 1947- axis fallshirmjaeger VS mythos



clan invasion first contact- classic battle tech (3 succession wars era mercenary lances VS a clan star)



Then i did a few small games with a player testing out his 3.5 chaos iron warriors VS my 5th ed salamanders. first 500 points and then 1K points.

That FoW event looks huge. I like the two tanks hanging out near the tram car. I guess they were hoping no one would notice them.

And Dust aircraft are so fething weird...

If by weird you mean AWESOME your are correct. the axis planes are all based on the HO 229 flying wing fighter with scifi VTOL capability.

especially compared to the super deformed P-38s and hinds the other factions get

Played some loose holiday KT21, Mission 1.3 from the Nachmund book (alternate narrative terrain layout). I lost the match 10-14 to Legionary, in hindsight should have deployed all my heavy hitters (plasmas & meltas) from the center of my DZ, now they were out of range when the intel was recovered. A fun game nonetheless

Got in a round of Shatterpoint:



Also need to remember to start taking pictures of my 40k games.

Tonight's game:
Salamanders vs all the CTan (& some Lokhusts/Lokhust Lords)

Kind of a slow day at the store this weekend. but there was a bunch of 40K

From 3rd ed



5th ed house version



to 10th




then some classic battle tech



My games

1600 point salamanders VS ultra marines 5th ed



And a small 31 point training game of warmachine MK III

First game trying out Squad Mark's terrain.

Symmetrical L-shaped terrain boards. *shudder*

Spoiler:

10 Marines... and a Chaplain. Remind me how many fit in a Drop Pod again?

12 in a drop pod in 5th or one dreadnought...(but everybody who brings a dread spends 50 to use a lucius assault pod).- 35 points with either a storm bolter or missile pod, locator beacon is 5 points extra.

We wound up playing a 3 player 6th Edition WFB pitched battle at Classichammer day this month, with Ashley running a coalition of 2,000 points of High Elves and 2,000 points of Dwarfs vs. Hector's 2,000 points of Beastmen and my 2,000 points of Skaven. The first shot is our mighty lurch forward to start Turn 1, and the second shot is Ashley's last move as well as showcasing mine and Hector's severely depleted forces.
