Nice spaceship terrain for the Tau battle!

Looks like Skulltaker is about the remove the skull from that dread

Roflmao no he didn't. 12 attacks, 11 hits, not single wound. Loc has to save his arse dropping about 7mw(that's how much it took with 3w remaining) to the dread who blew out killing skulltaker.

Khorne was not pleased while tzeentch was "just as planned".

Last time he did 18w to broodlord but non-character vehicles are tough nuts for him.

Skaven stopped nurgle ritual in ptg

Daemons vs imperial knights. First go was bit tougher but his attempt to kill bloodthirster failed and after 3 rounds 1 big and 1 small too little to win.

New scenario, go again. Now it was walk in park. Flamers and loc dealt with armigers, bloodthirster and skarbrand went rampage. Bloodthirster got to be safe in melee and skarbrand survived with 3 wounds. Wrecked big near dead and minimizing odds to kill after skarbrand survived knight dead and couldn't escape skarbrand so both bloodthirsters safe from shooting again.


Last knight tried to kill skarbrand with charge but lacking melee weapon failed and skarbrand said "what knight?"

Full on fog of war shenanigans afoot as our Kriegspielmageddon project rolls on to its sixth installment, Battle of Taranus Populus. Six players, some 20,000 points of troops on the field and all to fight for as Selen II's freedom fighters struggle for independence against the Imperial Guard and their Astartes allies.

Likewise, it's intensive but fun with a solid group of roleplay-minded Death Korps of Kriegsspiel. The dream is real to one day have suitable tables, armies and housing to host such a game live over multiple days that it takes

Small tournament. My 10 game winning streak came to end. Won first vs death guard by narrow margin. 80-70 but had last advance failed 75-75. Then crushed by tyranid monster smash and finally 8 wardog, abbadon and 15 flamers walked over.

It's terrifying how devoid of terrain those boards are.

Ah but remember in that edition terrain doesn't have to make sense. the amount and type of cover it provides is based entirely on how tall it is.

Now on to my games and more of my obsession with terrain that makes sense.

Starting of some of the other games being played-

9th ed crusade games from some new players i do not really know-






BattleTech of course-



Most of the guys spent a good chunk of the night playing DnD.....so while they were at that i did-

Mobile suit Gundam converted using classic battletech rules.....the flames of war terrain worked nicely-



A small training game to teach BFG-




And finally something a friend really wanted to try out a largish 2,100 point 5th ed rules game-3.5 chaos word bearers demon heavy force VS a hybrid demon hunters/5th ed salamanders force.

With demonic incursion rules in play i barely survived. Skarbrand even showed up and got to play a bit. more on that in my other topic.

Played a game of Turnip28 after a long while. Really like the system. I promise it's not just a gimmick to sell weird art, there's real meat on the bone.

Since it was Halloween weekend, we all joined in a big specter operations zombie game-




Then there was a game of flames of war.




One of the guys received a free ork army so we tooled it up and gave it a go.... killing 64 orks with cybork bodies (thanks grotsnik) is lots of work.



Then a bit of refresher-2 armies who have not seen battle in a long while-crimson fists VS my salamanders.



And since it was Halloween, this guy showed up.

6th Ed. WFB Skaven vs. Dogs Of War

Always love seeing some Dogs of War on the table!

For Halloween, I got to play some Under the Martian Yoke:



If you are so inclined, you can read the details on my blog:
http://bloodandspectacles.blogspot.com/2022/10/battle-report-under-martian-yoke.html

Had a little launch day for Mk4 Warmachine. Got a picture of a couple of the games going:

Proxy Khador vs Crucible Guard





Tharn vs Proxy Orgoth



Also got in some Malifaux. Lady J vs Lynch



And finally, and 4 player round of MCP's Symbiote scenario

Stomping through necrons in crusade. Slight cosmetic error with beefed up captain with 3++ died to lord(not even overlord).

Blood Bowl Sevens. Black Orcs v. Slann-bunnies

First go with new lumineth vs new gargants.

Darn cows got glowup. Didn't even get to use some tricks good vs them but after r3 start only single mancrusher alive. I had lost 5 stoneguard, 2 from another and 6 pikes.

Blood angels vs ghaz, stompa, 3 mega dreads, 3 deffdreads and 5 Killakan.

Lack of saves hurt orks. Had he gone first likely change things a lot.

Great 1000 pts intro game of Dystopian Wars with my Russian Commonwealth vs a fresh Sultanate player

tonights games at the FLGS-

FOW




Classic BattleTech







And my game -warmachine MK III, 50 points-

Khador VS Crucible Guard-hard fight but my Khador managed to turn the tide at the end.

Got in my first game since buying a new house in March. Both of us were very rusty, but that didn't matter too much in a narrative driven chaotic battle between renegades and planetary defence forces

https://mandollies.com/2022/11/07/battle-for-vogen-07-into-ashshore/

Some Castles in the Sky from Osprey using Brigade and Spartan models.....



We used off board tracking in this game to clean up the table a bit. Mostly using a white board to keep track of altitude, speed, damage, etc. It worked pretty slick.

when i play castles i just use different dice. usually, a d6 for speed and a d10 for altitude next to each ship. it is probably the BattleTech player in me.

Daemon vs daemon in league game. Managed to sneak 57-54 win thanks to going 2nd and t1 rerolling 5+ save succeeding denying 3 pts.

And loc got to kill bloodthirster in melee

Lol I missed this last time I checked the thread. That's a very unlucky Skulltaker, but I always find death by vehicle explosion to be a 'gift' from the gods

Good to see Khorne taking on Tzeentch and pulling off a win in your most recent game

Oh we both had khorne elements. I was the one with tzeentch as well.

I thought I would win easily thanks to LOC+flamers and who cares about those cannons right?

Well as it is he did have ace in the sleeve. Armour of skorn which is just EVIL vs my list. LOC throwing up MW's like no tomorrow? 4+ FNP! Flamers hit you with 30+ auto hits wounding on 4+? 3+ save and 5+ FNP from warlord trait. That thing soaked up silly amount of resources and him having 4 units in reserve made me vary of putting flamers out of box of screeners to engage skull crushers that ate up my infantry and skulltaker for lunch....

Also skull cannons did do some nice damage here and there + gave his backfield objectives cheap holders. Something I was lacking(plus him rushing in made objective campers dead campers...)

Skaven vs skaven ptg.


Deployed horribly exposing myself to world of trouble if i get doubled which realized. My main punch outside heroes got vaporized and furnace locked unable to get anywhere　useful.

Add to this my verminlord fluffing as usual i was lost. Then no counter double so he will simply annihilate remnants. Maybe not stormvermin due to their position and 2 plague monks as they are irrelevant but rest will die.

I played in three games over the weekend at HMGS' Fall In! convention.



The first was "The Siege of the Emerald City" using Wars of Ozz, which mixes the world of Oz with 18th century technology. An alliance of Winkies and Gnomes had laid siege to the Emerald City, but were driven off by the combined brigades of Munchkins and Quadlings.



The second was "March of the Elephants" where we refought the battle between Alexander the Great of Macedonia and King Porus of India. This game started with a fun mini-campaign where the Macedonians had to cross a river and the Indian players had to guess where the crossing was going to occur. The Indian players (myself included) not only managed to counter Alexander's crossing, but captured him during a grueling, bloody battle, giving King Porus a minor victory.



The third and last game was "Counter Attack Orsha" using Breakthrough, which are still in development. Set during Operation Barbarossa in 1941, the Soviets had four divisions clashing against four German regiments. The Germans initially repulsed the Soviet attack, but a Soviet tank regiment exploited a gap in the German lines, splitting them in two. One German regiment was steamrolled and the other was set up to be badly mauled when we had to end for time, giving the Soviets a win.

Nice shots of Fall In! Thanks for sharing.
