5 hours of my friend and I looking at PDFs rusty as hell:

Iron Hands vs Tyranids

He was going to play ksons but he wanted to play my bugs versus my marines. I was the marine player and we called it a marine victory at turn 5

The terrain:



the game:

Didn't snap a pic of my two games of One Page Rules - Age of Fantasy, in which Goblins lost vs High Elves and won vs Dark Elves, but here's a public pic of the club. Two tables on 40k, one Conquest, one Bolt Action, and me in the far back right with the high intellectual forehead.

Quick update for the weekend


Game 1
battletech-my second dieron regulars out of their element in the desert, doing battle with a mostly proxied C3 lance.

Gorgeous table!!! I mean, the armies are nice too, but dat terrain tho!

Gotta love the Scorpion on the Mighty Empires tile.

what can i say, they are the right size and a hex base, even so the scorp is a pretty terrible quad (i ran the LBX variant). i expected it to die first.

Thank you Insectum7. I do a lot of terrain stuff! You're the legend that runs the metal Tyranid Warrior blog! I know who you are! I think I got some inspiration for some of my metal bugs from your stuff when working on 2nd/3rd ed models.

@aphyon battle tech 3d prints look awesome

Win vs deathwatch. Think this was my 2nd game vs them.

Rhinoes, 20 biob and 2 exorcists were stars of my army,

This is what happens when you have msu of 1 wound models, close to each other and bloodthister comes to say hello.

We packed up after this(10 phoenix guard can't solo) and started game with me bringing fyreslayers. This time i tabled him.

Epic A intro game. Marines vs guard.

Khorne vs std, cos vs tzeentch, fyreslayers vs nurgle. Lost all. Ouch,

Last night I had two friends come over to playtest my homebrew dungeon crawl:

Played Red Alert: Space Warfare
Tons of fun with yet another version of the commands and colors rules

One of the simplest games i have ever had. Nagash miscasts on 3rd spell, i get double, 3" pile in got kragnos within 3" of nagash and 4/5 4+ saves failed and one dead god.

With olivendyr and 10 chainrasp vs my army with total of 6 wounds(2 by kragnos scream) game over.

First time facing nagash and still no first hand experience what he can do. Presumably better than mystic shield and die if rolls weren't so ridiculous.

weekend update time


games played on other tables-

Intro to a new battletech player-(and a partial of the printed airfield)





Another part of the specter ops campaign-







Now the games i played-

DUST 1947-in stalingrad (history buffs may recognize the yellow building).




And last- a 5th ed game of 40K dark eldar VS inquisitorial allied (witch hunters) admech force.

Big guy duels continue.

Archaon went for gutsy all or nothing tempting me to charge with +3 to saves(rr1), reroll hits and wounds etc buffed up. If he survives he can likely get rid of both of my stonehorns and win game.

However kragnos did 36mw and 2 frostlords and mournfang unit dozen or so more. He rolled wards way above average and survived but didn't survive kragnos(roar helped).

After that easy win though he minimized loss ending 32-22.


Might look crazy play but despite all my charges hardly quaranteed. A lot depends on kragnos charge.

Two more games of One Page Rules - Age of Fantasy

Goblins pulling off two technical wins by cheesing objective grabs on the last turn.



I'm enjoying the system enough that I've begun building models specifically for it.

Gotrek held cos line firm. Got worst possible scenario for matchup, made one super big mistake, he made 3 big charges(9, 7 and 10 with rerolls) and i failed 7" rerollable big charge.

Could avoid gotrek without 9 and　10 charges but avoiding him made no vp's for me :(

Just a quick one before i head off to the actual game store-

First-mad props to Mezmorki for his TTS mod

I have a buddy who i have played online with for years who was always interested in 40K but never wanted to make the investment. thanks to TTS we did our first introductory game of our 5th ed game last night.

He made a list from the 5th ed BA codex and i used my assault nid list from 4th. we did a simple dawn of war 2k kill points match to get his feet wet-



BA took it by 1 on turn 7

One Page Rules - Age of Fantasy
Goblins pull a solid win against Dark Elves, then Dark Elves manage a technical win on objectives vs High Elves

Played a big 3000 point narrative game of urban defence where I was up against a constantly reinforced flood of enemies With a combined force of Iron Warriors and (Blue)Blood Angels crashing against Death Guard's turf, the Echoes of Eisenstein rose to the occasion and held out doggedly. Exploding tanks, maimed corpses and falling debris filled the streets, but by the blood-red sunset, the proud banner of skull and black sunburst still flew defiantly over the ruins.

You may see a theme with this weekend's games-

first off was a specter ops campaign mission.








Then it was on to battletech-

a raid mission with combined arms-



And the 2nd installment of our batttletech campaign as the brown shorts assault the insurgent stronghold.

I spy an AT-AT walker Sirocco...

The meme is real

This didn't end well...

Another TTS battle


This time iyanden VS blood angels.



wraith guard, warp hunters and hornets...oh my

Two tables of One Page Rules - Age of Fantasy at the club tonight

Me far left with the goblins (actually mostly trolls), drew vs Sigmarines. On the back table Dark Elves beat High Elves.

Managed to get a 1000 pt game of 40k tonight, open war deck.


My daemons vs his chaos marines, was quite close until turn 4 when the herald of nurgle smote the chaos Lord into nothingness.


He must have been mad about the chaos lord turning the nurgle daemon prince into little pieces in turn 2...

weekend update for 4/9/22

games i was in-

marik VS 10th lyran guard-desert corps




Training game-10th lyran guard axe force VS kurita swords of light



Warmachine- khador VS grimkin-50point king of the hill.




Other games-

battletech marik VS kurita



Specter ops-



There was another warmachine game but i was busy and didn't get a picture of it.

0-3 session. Gits lost vs cos though had shootas survived draw. In the end up for lord arcanum to finish which he did.


Then big waagh vs fec. Goregrunta　charge vs flayers resulted dead gore gruntas and terrorgheist ate 10 brutes. Prophet zapped it and huge chunk of ghouls but with mega boss w/destroyer failing to kill other tg game over.

And new army dok vs sce horrible slaughter. Should have went 2nd instead of 1st, shoul have remembered reroll wounds(left fulminator alive w/1 wound) and not shoot annihilators t1. Instead raptors or even better vindictors which would have meant crushed center and 16 wyches for him to deal with.
