First game of Turnip28 (probably first game of it in the country)

The illustrious Observance of Olm expeditionary force facing off against a garrison of the perfidious 6th Beet Under.

I'm not sure what Turnip28 is but it looks a lot like Sludge. Sludge is also awesome so this is neat as well.

Barbarians vs Scarecrows using Song of Blades and Heroes.
Northern War Basset circling for the kill.

Yep, Turnip28 was the first actual ruleset to come out of this blanchitsu historicals art/mini conversion movement so it's like Sludge's incestuos father-cousin or something. A bit more strictly limited to pre-Waterloo tech and more comedic grimdark (the author - ex-GW illustrator Max Fitzgerald - calls it grimcosy, grimdark without the angst) with forces set up to fail (the stats are Inaccuracy and Vulnerability). It's free and worth a read, I think there's a real game hidden behind the random schadenfreude generator and the author's dedication to rules clarity is examplary.

Final league game against some Stormcast. 33 to 15ish, Giants won. With that, my Age of Sigmar games are pretty much over. Maybe a small tournament in 2 months time. I will probably add x1 more 3dprinted giant and x1 more Gatebreaker to this collection, paint it and sell it

Played a game of KT21 today, Compendium Tau vs Deathwatch. Mission was "Defend the position" from the Chalnath book. I don't have Chalnath terrain so we improvised a proxy KZ from my existing terrain. In hindsight I think the board was a bit too dense, will try going more sparse next time..

I started off ok, my Rail Rifle op oneshotted one Marine, but everything went downhill from there. I advanced way too slow and by the time I reached the objectives, I had two operatives remaining, the rest having been cut down by Deathwatch shooting. Man, DW shotguns and bolters are even nastier than regular ones!

Only a couple games to post tonight.

I recently got some new units for my khador army, so we did a 50point battle VS menoth.




We also finally started our battletech campaign with the player pilots being run through a test simulation recruitment test.

22-21 win vs be'lakors faction with bonesplitters! Critical mistake by opponent was placing summoned spawn next to prophet trying to kill him but this allowed piling within 12" of be'lakor. Mr. Random stared be'lakor to death despite 15 pink horrors(45 wounds). Some staring.

Weekend update

i got a couple games in-
some classic battletech steiner VS marik in a city fight





then we did a quick small dust game with mythos VS the SSU



Rasputin was a boss

prior to that i was tied up watching this mosnter battle unfold-
skorne VS grimkin in a 75 point battle-





Prior to that cygnar battled everyblight at 50 points, the cygnar player wanted to use flat terrain.



There was also a big specter ops game going on-

Those look like some old Mordheim buildings there.

Why did that one player want to use flat terrain?

Yes, they are old mordheim buildings. the store has a pile of those old buildings. they have been well used so are not in the best shape being made out of carboard for the most part.

On the WM/H game
As to why? i do not know. i had the table set up as shown in the other battle.

It may have been because of wobbly model placement concerns or some other reason but the cygnar player request the flat terrain. i have all that beautiful ESLO finished terrain i got specifically for games like WM/H and it makes the table feel less dynamic without it. i also notice they did symmetrical placement with mirrored table sides.....buildings and trees in the middle of the roads etc... it doesn't look right at all. given the setup and who the player is i think we are dealing with more of a tournamnet minded player here.

Flat terrain is pretty normal in warmachine as it's focused on tournament play over looks

I played some Castles in the Sky.....



Those interested can read all about it on the Blood and Spectacles blog here:

I played a little "learn the rules" game of Deadzone against myself.

Which means that at least I didn't bother anyone else while trying to take dramatic angle pictures.

Not in our group, we actively discourage steamroller and tournament play. it ruins the game community.

40k League 4th round. 10 mainly melee dread vs chaos knights. 72-69. Scenario helped a lot as that gave me 12 primaries. Stlll was behind but got 1 big in the end with 2 dreads charging which gave me 4 vp and denied 7 from him,

No worries - we'll get back to posting games. It's a very decisive topic for warmahordes players

Indeed, having fun playing the game is the main goal. especially with the WM/H community that has a reputation of being more toxic than tourney 40K players.

We often times find things that are legal to do but would make the game less fun, so we do not do them. like running multiple seraph/forsaken/hellmouth combos in the legion army.

I have all the models i need to run an armored corps theme list for khador that would give me a +1 to all repair rolls and also (enough points for) a free battle engine...because that's fair.

2 games of One Page Rules - Age of Fantasy from Saturday

1500 pts Goblins vs Ogres



1250 pts Goblins vs High Elves



Surprise griffon bum attack does nothing!

23-15 win in league.

When he got double, free vermin lord, flamekeeper died to vortex before was able to use buff and fully buffed berserkers failed to kill screaming bell(22 wounds, 12 5+ ward) i thought i was toast.

But abomination failed by 1 wound to kill auric heartguard which kept priest alone which cost him 5 vp, gave me 2 vp and gave me chance to take 5vp quaranteed t4(without priest would have to risk priest for vortex).

4+ ward also saved a ton and the strike first ca was huge.

Pickett's Charge


For King & Parliament

1st match of our new Crusade!
Tonight the Red Gobbo led elements of the newly formed 1st & 2nd platoons of the Panzer-Grots in a surprise attack vs a rookie UM SM patrol.

Those who preformed best were promised paint!

It was a brutal massacre of the UM as every grot did their best.
Losses were extremely light - only 2 tanks of PzG1 & a few misc wounds throughout were lost.

Ultimately? The prize went to the grots in the truck when they ran over the UM Lt in turn 4.

Grot mini tanks FTW!

We had a guy show up at an old silly kill team tournament that i put on who was running the mini tanks (when they were a new thing) and a killa kan. it was loads of fun,

Grot tanks? Non-symmetrical terrain? Crusade?

What is this wizardry???

A lot of fun is what it is.
And going forward? The Crusade force's equipment will reflect what they loot (I.E. win against).

This Fri/Sat Red Gobbo will lead 2500pts worth of his followers into a giant multi-player 2 day brawl at the shop. Shove all the tables together (somehow) & play for about 18 hours.
The full Panzer-Grot will be joined by The Red God of Waaagh! 1st Artillery Kompany (15 Big Gunz {all lobbas} + 3 Mek Gunz).

Long time since last game. Gandalf was late as hell(first rolling 1 twice, then several turns forgot to roll, then another 1) but when he came led 13 warriors to center held only by 2 nazguls that had exhausted will slaughtering my cavalry while infantry fought one half of his infantry and aragorn was soloing second half.

Typical. Sacrifice mook's, then swoop in and claim all the glory

Another playtest of homebrew Samurai themed skirmish.

Love to see homebrew stuff!
