Had a meetup to play some games of 6th Edition over the weekend. Haven't really played WHFB since 2012 so I was super excited! Had lots of fun against a Dwarf list. Game ended in a draw. I'm glad even after all these years I still remember the rules.

My annual Super Bowl celebration is a game of Blood Bowl on the tabletop.



These were all painted with cheap acrylics from a big box retailer a few years back. You just have to water them down a lot but they are perfectly serviceable.

You can read the results of the game on the Blood and Spectacles blog.

I played against Solar Auxilia for the first time and it was a good game! Keen to play some bigger ones as the small point games have been insanely swingy.

Mission: No Man's Land
Sec: Control the Battlefield

Played AT again

Finally someone other than me put the work in and printed a full 4x4 table

Played some Bolt Action 3e yesterday.
US Army vs my Germans.

Then we did a couple classic battle tech games. the first was a vehicle battle

Click 'em bigger!

This weekends games-

Some house 5th ed 40K test games-

trying a hand at chaos. khorne berserker proxy list VS another chaos player-

Crimson fist (5th) VS chaos (3.5)



MCP

Didn't notice this one was blurry midnight sons VS spider foes-




My games-some criminal syndicate facing off against my X-men and friends-



A battle tech games of mostly lights and mediums in a river delta...with boats



Last battle of the night- all assault mechs-

Played some more Co Op KT21 today.

I confess messing up the killzone this time, the NPOs really cant handle a board with only narrow chokepoints at the middle of the board. Wanted to try the "City walls" style layout again, and have to say, open terrain without chokepoints is kind of a must for the NPO system to work. I doubt you'd have a satisfactory gallowdark mission against NPOs either, unless the forces were way skewed in favour of the NPOs. But given that, some form of Space Hulk *might* still work.. assuming theres enough stealers and doors could be opened/destroyed..

Pro Tip: If you have tokens from both KT21 & KT24, use one set on the other team and another on their opponent. Easy to know which side's tokens are what, even when egaged in melee, because the sets look different

There was a big battletech event at the store today, with some well known members of the catalyst team. so our group hunkered over in the corner since our battle tech stuff was scheduled for later in the evening.

We started with some house 5th ed 40K

imperial fists 4th ed VS 5th ed imperial guard-fortress fight



Black templar 4th VS the same guard force on the jungle table.



The classic battle tech campaign went for a huge battle royale-



Then my games-

Started out testing a proxied 4th ed eldar list-mostly of the iyanden flavor-wraithguard, wraith lord, pathfinders, warp hunters a hemlock wraith fighter etc...



I also got a regular dark angels battle in with deathwatch going up against the black templar.




I ended the day with a planned clan on clan battle with second line mechs.

Two weeks ago a friend and I drove to Croatia to spend the weekend demoing Turnip28 at their premiere non-historical miniatures convention.

A couple of games of Kill Team at my friend's place. It's pretty funny how a game of elite vs elite takes something like 30 minutes per player total including preparation and setup

So much good stuff on the table here. Loving these pics.

Did our 2nd game of Old World last weekend, Warriors of Chaos vs. Brettonia with the empire troops splashed in. Seriously good time.

Just like the title says, post up a pic of the last game you played.

I played my first game of 8th yesterday and played another game of AoS

Andros Pyreaus, Chapter Master of the Silver Hammers, after ordering as many heavy weapons as possible to fire upon the Beast of Calth, watched in horror as it refused to fall. The beast, roaring with rage, charged at Andros, who was prepared for this fight. Popping a frag grenade, Old One Eye was staggered enough to swap at the Argentum Angel, but faltered in the last seconds, just barely managing to hit the shield generated by the Iron Halo above his head. Having the chance to fight back, Andros swung his mighty relic Thunder Hammer, the silver hammer, at the beast. knocking it down. Climbing onto the monster, the chapter master wanted to ensure that this monster would be stopped, for now at the least and crushed its head with the blunt weapon. Sadly, as the battle drew to a close, retreats called, and brothers abandoned: Andros's auto-sensors picked up a signature through the gathering smoke of the lost battle, the silhouette of Old One Eye, lurking away to its next battle.

TL;DR Old One Eye charged my chapter master, he killed it. It failed to revive. But in lore, Old One Eye, even when dead, doesn't die.

Lilith's last stand.....
My base coated Nurgle demons converge on my opponents last 2 models.

A couple of Kill Team games at my home. The jungle board saw Eldar Corsairs, Nemesis Claw, Wrecka Boyz and Blooded fight for dominance. Funny events included the Eldar Felarch failing to hit the Chaos Ogryn in combat even once and the Ork Rokkiteer killing 2 Night Lords with a single, massive 3" Blast.

Haven't posted in a couple months, so I'll just post some highlights:

Warmachine



Marvel Crisis Protocol



Infinity



Judgement



Shatterpoint

That's a supercool variety of games played, Lunarsol. I would probably make more rules mistakes than actual moves if I wanted to keep so many rulesets in my head at the same time!

Luckily I learned them slowly over the years and cycle them enough that the mistakes made aren't TOO egregious.

LOL

Yep, i started my adventures with wargaming with battle tech in 87, then 40K in 3rd ed......and then when 6th ed 40K happened i started moving into other systems...see my SIG-i play at least 13 different systems, some only occasionally, but they are all great in their own way. keeping them all striaght is pretty easy for the most part, but if there are questions....that's what we have rulebooks for.

Some old world Goodness, Chaos vs. Brets. We had a fun time with this one.

WM will be funding a campaign for the "Fantasy Series II" miniatures under their "Relics Reforged" line. Battle System's new Dungeon terrain.
