Lumineth vs cities of sigmar. 16-13 in battle for pass 1k and i still　had 5th turn so elf win. Serious luck and critically assasin failed to take out eltharion(with 4 wounds in) resulting eltharion going on rampage taking out 10 handgunners, assasin, warden king and runelord. Never swinging his hero slaying　sword!

Still win or at least draw was always on cards for dwarves as hammerers were　smashing through toward my home objective(11" charge at turn 3 helped!) But cathallar's spell dropped them just in time and they were 1 dwarf short of taking objective as they were.

Final round of the Crusade campaign and the Imperial Fists face off against a formidable Ultramarines force in the abandoned ruins of an Imperial bunker complex.

The Fist snipers and recon units took up positions and probed the Ultramarine defences before storming the walls and Terminators teleported directly onto the ramparts and slew the Ultramarine command assets.

Easterling vs rohan in assasinate. Got lucky start with　5 bows causing all fate and 2 might wasted on Eomer. But saved might at wrong　spot and wasted elsewhere plus 3 turns he got priority on row and my guys suddenly fought skillfully but with paper swords(over　20 5+ wound roll and　1 dead rohan...) and my back broke.

3-8 loss.

In picture total mayhem when i commited my archers to fight near my leader(there were 2 fights going on). With no might, no priority, swamped with enemy and paper sword my "lord of blades" was doing nothing. I was winning fights but not killing. Eventually other fight over and enough　help came here i got crushed.

epic scale 8th ed 40K battle admech with elysian support VS khorne berserker warband-225 power level

Looking good Aphyon. Out of curiosity, how much modification do you use on the basic rules?

Almost none, it is basically 8th with all ranges halved for gun range, movement distances, auras, explosions etc..

we also keep stratagems to minimum for the sake of speed of play., i think other than re-rolls the only thing the khorne player used was a free move forward after deployment but before first turn was rolled.

I forget the conversion but this game was 225 power level and still only took 2 or 3 hours.

A side note of some consideration-the entire admech force was a total cost of around $60 US

just the breachers alone in regular scale 40K would have run me about $600...so yeah epic is where it is at for running your dream army.

Hm, I could see some activation changes being beneficial to help scaling the game up while reducing the lethality of alpha striking. Big games are cool, less so if one side gets too heavily hit before returning the favour

At this scale it really isn't that much of an issue given the amount of redundant units. i mean i lost 3 tanks because he went first. but i still nearly tied him in return damage over the entire course of the game, if i had been able to damage the fellblade i probably would have done even better.

Our small group has pretty much ditched all other games in favor of Pulp Alley. It reskins just about any setting with minimal effort and we only have to remember one set of rules this way. Our latest reskin was Frostgrave.

In our most recent game, my buddy played elves he rescued from FFG's Runewars and my warband were a bunch of animated pumpkin-headed scarecrows from Old Glory's Super System super hero game.

Our mission was to raid three arcane portals of their treasures while the portals continued to generate skeletal guards. We decided to play co-op and absolutely slaughtered the skellies.

2 games of crusade(25pl and then 35pl) vs same ork. I used new necron rules at his suggestion when i said hopefully don't mistakenly use them having spent day reading codex

First assasinate with him being attacker. I basically tabled him losing just immortals. Skorpek lord and praetorians slaughtered all in their path.

Game 2 behind enemy lines. Much the　same though　his warlord dented my skorpek　lord. Might have　been end of him but praetorians(now full 10) shot buggy with pistols taking last 2wounds giving praetorians chance to charge and kill warboss before he got to attack.

Got praetorians and stalker(which with heat ray and limbs smashed his way through 20 boyz alone) behind his　lines netting easy win. Deffdread did take down skorpek lord

Lumineth vs bonereapers. Got all spells off so had enough firepower to kill Arkhan　in average but got only about 2/3 expected mw's. Forgot -1 to hit vs me and rr1 save battallion bonus. When i lost priority roll　2 times in row it was game over.

Ah well. Got to remember own rules

This. Aos has 6" from point objective areas so 12" diameter circle. Bit immersion breaking but makes life easier to see are you controlling objective. You touch the circle, you are in area

Are they part of the mat, or templates added over it? That's more what I meant. I figured they were objective related.

Ah.separate ones so can alter based on scenario. Honest wargamer sells these for aos(8) and 40k(6, 9e recommended size) so enough for all scenarios. With posting was around 50e for both sets i think. Less if you only need one of course

Interesting. I like that they're clear.

Last game of Blood&Plunder I played, as Spanish against Black Caribs being proxied by the Dutch (closest models on photo).

Friendly game Greenskinz vs Ogor Mawtribe. Mawtribe won but it was surprisingly close.

Greenskinz kept getting lucky breaks and the only thing that kept the Ogors in was the fact the Butcher kept getting his spells off and healing himself.

35 pl crusade vs dark angels. Game was pretty much decided da turn 2 as da charged out of deep strike as per picture. His captain bounced from skorpek lord, counter charge and +1 to hit stratagems played. 28 attacks, 26 hits, 17 wounds(4+ to wound? Who cares!). 5++ and just 2 pass...then skorpek lord gets 3 wounds and 3x3 for 4++...

He did get skorpek lord with his anti character 2nd hq but 100-0 win in relic scenario.

Lumineth　vs lumineth. Cow warriors vs teclis. Game went about how i expectead though his cavalry charge surprised wiping pike and archer block. Eltharion rolled 11 getting to big cow and made mincemeat. When　14 stone guard bounced from 2+ rr1 save pikes with no stone mage to give -2　rend we called it game. Lumineth win

The Imperium, about to get a whuppin'....( I was on the receiving end - nasty)

Is that an Armorcast Phantom Titan?

Is that an Armorcast Phantom Titan?

Indeed it is - a rare (and enormous) beast. Surprisingly, I have two friends who own one.

Ah yes, here’s a photo of the other one along with some ‘ahem’ war gaming physiques

Got to love the fact that the engine itself is polished to perfection while the banner that gets replaced every battle is in tatters. The enemy is clearly shooting in the wrong place, "right in the heraldry!" won't kill the big guys

Beastclaw raiders took to field for first outing(alas having to proxy 5 mournfangs as idiot forgot models home). Forcing hand vs lumineth. Round 2 got double turn so splatted eltharion with 2 monsters. Alas spell portal prevented going to teclis. Also splatted 10 pikes but charge vs cavalry fell　short. Still was looking good. Teclis went to kill mournfang unit and take 3vp which was bad but exposed to charge from 2 stonehorns and i got priority. Alas 4++/5+++ too much and survived. He got then double turn and took down both monsters. My turn 4 failed 2 charges, he kept priority and it was　26-12 or so even　if he kills nothing　so alas no point playing round 5.

Failing to kill teclis was　bad. Him getting double turn was　lethal.

My first 2k game with new necron codex. We called it on my turn 3(he went first). Even super generous assumpions it was going to be 72-42(without painting points which we ignore). 85-32 wasn't that unlikely to score.

Nightbringei did his job. Mostly i think he hamstrung charging with both obliterator squads. One got bogged down with immortal squad, other caused 3 wounds to nightbringer and then died. This removed his ranged threats leaving my vehicles safe and hurting bring it down and thin their　ranks secondaries.

2 vs 2 game with my lumineth allying with tzeentch against nurgle and khorne alliance. Tzeentch specifically wanted me to bring teclis. We sure owned magic phase though my 2nd turn was mild due to khorne trickery.

Teclis and his pal had to face 2 bloodthirsters. Without 5+++ would have been　toast. Still needed　shooting help from tzeentch which　he granted. This let teclis shoot and charge 2nd. 4++/5+++ meant Teclis overcame his foe!

Best part of game. Tzeentch refused to charge screamers into　bloodletters charged by Teclis on off chance　I botch rolls and die

Isengard vs　rohan. Hard mission for me as had to go for objective on opponent's rear. Foot force makes it hard. Mauhur and his scouts saved me a bit ambushing Eomer and taking out all but Eomer. Berserkers stopped other flank force but still we both broke but he was only one with chance to win but game ended just in time for 1-1 draw.


Brima was nice roadblock and might thing hurt opponent somewhat.

Played Pulp Alley in a campaign where we are using Necromunda terrain and minis (for the most part). Good to be able to get those minis on the table.
