Ogor vs stormcast. After r4 no stormcast on field as ironguts rampaged through army.

Slaughtermaster managed to self destruct with 7self inflicted wounds failing my battle tactic in the process. Good job.

Looks like a very cool game! I always loved the Stardrake model.

I played some underworlds with my buddy last night. My Magores Fiends vs his Morgok Krushers.

That stardrake is model i'm drooling to get as well

Those are some well painted Khorne guys. Got any clearer shots of them?

Another game of Grimdark Future, Space Marines vs Necrons. I made a fairly "mirrored" board because my opponent is still learning and I wanted him to have less to worry about in terms of picking sides and stuff. We're trying out objectives. Good game, objectives made for a much more interesting and dynamic game than our previous "just try to wipe the other side out" game. I thought 4 rounds would be too short, but it actually felt about right.







Really pleased with my modular rocky crag terrain, I gotta say. Adds a lot to the game but is really playable at the same time. It's just foamboard carved up in layers with some acryllic filler with baking soda and sand for texture, but I also put a few spherical magnets in the top and bottom layers, basically 1 in each 3" square area, and that makes them stick to each other so they're really stable in play and don't slide around or anything. Probably my favourite bit of terrain I've ever made.

Yeah, I have a photo of the warband here. All done with Contrast,

Looks fantastic.

Thanks for posting that.

Hey no worries. I love this game, as it gives you the opportunity to paint a variety of different types of models.

The last games of the year-as Christmas day falls on our normal game night.

We started out the night with our recent new player who is getting back into 5th ed 40K with his tau, and he had all sorts of new shiny to try out as we gave him the rules for the hazard suits and the tetra scout speeder. the games were at 2k points.

Game 1 was a battle for the king of the hill (center objective) against a guard armored company

So just so everybody is clear-4th ed tau codex base VS 3rd ed CA guard armored company list within the 5th ed rule set.



He got a second game in-kill points VS the 3.5 iron warriors army.



We spent a load of time discussing setting up a classic battletech campaign, so the only other game was a quick 75-point infantry battle for DUST so i could give the winter sold...er child his first run on the table.

3 games vs frieed and his 2 sons. First sons ironjaw gets his first win vs me as he crush my khorne. Next cow heavy lumineth wins vs kruleboys but we forgot tons of orc rules. Finally my nearly all mounted bonesplitter army loses 29-30 vs dad's new nurgle.

More Wars of the Republic from Osprey......



This time Seleucid Pike Phalanx clashes with Greco-Bactrian Pikemen, while a War Elephant maneuvers in the background.

You can read all about it on the Blood and Spectacles blog:

Primaris Blood Angels vs Orks

Best picture from the game.

Song of Blades and Heroes. Pumpkin men versus mixed species barbarian warband in a snowy destroyed village.

The pumpkin headed men are quite cool. Where did they come from, if you don't mind me asking?

They are from a superhero line called Superfigs. Five figures are sold in a pack as henchmen. One is separate as the boss Devils Knight. Old Glory has them in their online store but I got mine from ebay.

Thanks! I really appreciate it.

Ouch CCS you never want to see an HS 129 rolling in on your armor like that.

Just a few updates tonight, i will give a more detailed report in the appropriate forums after i get some sleep

first my khador VS circle with the storm crow. a very close game i was running Sorcha 1 and she got taken down to 4 wounds. i popped her feat at the start of the next turn( i went first) and froze everything in his army save his warcaster (she was just barely out of my control range). between the spriggan and Sorcha i took out the colossal. he conceded.



The Next game i played was a little classic battletech-the purple chicken VS the dragon.

Very close game. at the end i had the grand dragon and the Shugenja left, all he had was the phoenix hawk.



While that was happening on the other table everblight was trying his hands(claws) against some trolls.

Thagrosh getting tossed in front of a circle of troll war beast who had yet to activate, well......

Yeah, that was on turn 1. Welcome to 2022. :(

Fortunately due to missed aircraft rolls, some fighter interception rolls, & good AA fire this thing only had 1 more effective turn through out the rest of the game....
Still, that first turn hurt.

FOW has some funky aircraft mechanics, but still a self load high velocity 75mm cannon on a plane in WWII is basically an A10

I ran an F28: War Always Changes narrative game for the family, 5th in a campaign.

This involved them foiling a hijacking of an enormous skyliner that they'd initially boarded because it'd get them close to a Genestealer Cult base they needed to infiltrate... then hijacking it themselves due to one of the player's hidden objectives.

Top to bottom we have the cockpit, casino, spa, engine deck (Space Hulk tiles); the cabins deck (Assassinorum tiles); and the cargo hold (game mat). Fighting with the cultist hijackers took place across all three levels, then in true videogame style the players had to get to the turrets to fend off two fighter-bombers carrying more cultists and strafing the engines.

First game of year. Khorne got 22-20 win vs seraphon despite my blood warriors trying their best to lose the game...by killing too many terradons!

Yes lost 3 vp(hold more and battle tactic) by killing 3/6 terradons. This pulled bloodthirsterfut of 6" pile in range.

Played remote alpha strike on Sunday night. First time we tried vehicles instead of mechs only. Helicopters move like hummingbirds and are super hard to hit. Lots of fun and lots of learning.

The weekend update-

I forgot to take pics of one of the retro 5th ed games (3.5 chaos nurgle VS tau), but i did remember to get pics of the rest-

the first game up-
DUST 1947-170 points. scenario-capture the alien (it's here)

The blutkreuz zombie army VS the SSU steel guards



The next game-a little 50 point "infantry machine" game of casterless/jackless warmachine-

crucible guard VS legion of everblight-






And finally, a little B5 wars "Star Wars" -some light ship combat.

I sense 3D printed Corellion Gunships, a Dreadnought and a pair of CC-7700 frigates?

Everything there is 3d printed except the hammerheads

You also missed the imperial corvette since it was already dead by this pic.

Great miniatures though i am totally addicted to mel miniatures on shapeways for all my starwars armada scale ship needs.

OMG! TIE Droids? T-Wings? Lancer Frigates? Marauder Corvettes? *gasp* The Eclipse?

Now you have to play a game where a fleet takes on the Eclipse.

[EDIT]: No Bulwark?

LOL

I take it you have looked through his shop. i love all the EU ships, unfortunately B5 wars doesn't have rules for some of the stuff i would love to play like the Mandalorian cruisers. they do have all the hapan rules as well as the vong.

I had him print me out the 14" belator class SSD. love that thing.

2nd game of the year. Gloomspite vs nurgle. Gulp. Luckily opponent ran out of battle tactics t5 so 21-20 win when we looked and found he can score no battle tactic so i get win automatically unless he rolls 2 4+ disease rolls to kill mangler for a tie.

However post game i realized if he gives me double i win by 2 vp's(21-19) 75% times(ie when mangler doesn't die) but this way he opens bring it down bt...so on that 25% times rather than tie he wins. Neat.


Ps loomboss barery died to disease points...

First win ever vs dg. These been lately particular bugger. Scenario(scourging) helped. Was able to control center giving me maxed primaries and maxed stranglehold while zephyrim and arco flagelants cleared one of his objectives twice causing 0 primaries.

68-40.

With 3/3 and tough match ups year started scary good. Tomorrom all mounted bonesplitters might be in for kicking. Luck can't hold forever
