WH40K

Game of WH40K with some unusual sides! Adam and Mark fielded a combined Chaos Marine / Tau / Ork army against my Grey Knights.

Pair of Ork Generals, ready to try and beat their Dad!

Game was on! Orks advanced down their left with a wagon full of boyz, But came a bit unstuck when they jumped out and declared Wahhhh! charging into Grey Knight Terminators - fight lasted 1 turn.

In the centre it was exchanging of fire until a Calledus Assassin jumped out of a unit of Chaos Marines at the same time the Grey Knight Interceptor squad deep striked near to them also.

They turned and quickly killed the assassin, whilst Thraka turned on the interecptors - this fight lasted throughout the game. Whilst the GK Centre was held by a couple of snipers and Dreadnoughts!

After the orks died, the Possessed Marines tried their hand at the GK Terminators - they failed also!

The Tau deployed to their right and advanced down the flank.

 

My Land Raider with Paladin was sent to counter the threat of the commander. Jumping out of the Raider and charging into the commander! This fight was still on going as the game drew to an end.

Game ended, and victory points counted. A narrow 4 - 3 victory to the rag-tag bunch of chaos and green skins!

WWI - trench raid
Lee put together terrain and figures for a WWI Trench Raid game.

I took the attacking Allies and Lee had the defending Germans. I had a couple of tanks as support and started across no-mans land.

Unfortunately, the German artillery proved to be accurate and no tanks made it to the wire.
Without their support the Allied Infantry were cut down - a few French making the trench's lip before falling.
Great game and very enjoyable.

For our second game we switched sides. This time the game was more bloody with 2 tanks making the wire and 1 surviving the artillery to make a difference.

The pics below, don't do it justice. great figures and terrain.

Game On - Sunday 17th Feb 2013

The three of us enjoyed a game of Stargrunt, with Adam and Mark tanking the NAC and me attacking them with Kra'Vak.

The Kra'Vak advanced on a wide front and the NAC deployed to face them.

Both forces deployed for combat and the battle started.

Kra'Vak Sniper didn't perform as well as expected, but even so NAC needed some help.



 

Soon though with help from the NAC Command. 

The Kra'Vak where down to a last stand in some ruins, these didn't last long and the NAC where victorious, if some what battered.

A good game, with a good set of rules, seldom used.

40K Game December 2012

This game was a 2000 point affair.
Adam (Tau) and Myself (Dark Eldar) against Mark (Chaos Marines and Tyranid).

The table was set and Mark got to choose sides, picking the best cover - SET UP

The armies advanced and by turn 3 the Daemon Prince had charged the Stealth team, with the Wyches and Genestealers getting ready to get to grips - TURN 3

Turn 5 saw the Daemon Prince STILL in contact with a determined Stealth Team. The Wyches had all died but Hesperex had killed a Tyrannofex and was facing the Hive Tyrant. - TURN 5

 The game was close but on victory points Mark won 5 - 3.

For the Allies, Heaperex was 'man' of the match with a dead Tyrannofex and Hive Tyrant in her sights! A close second would have to be the Steakth team fighting  Daemon Prince all game!

For Chaos I would think the Genestealers for making short work of the Wyches and in second the deep striking reinforcements of Raptors who kept the Archon and Wraithlord from the main battle.

Some other pics of the game.

 

Full Thrust

Adam, Mark and Me went down to the club on a Sunday and played a Full Thrust game.

We all used 2000 points each.
Adam - NAC
Mark - NAC
Myself - Japanese

The game kicked off with mark and me engaging quite quickly whilst Adam flew to the battle.

It was a hard fought game, with Adam coming in and finishing off both Mark and my fleets (what little was left!)

 Adam's fleet

 Japanese Fleet (Mine)

 Mark's big ships

 

THe Japanese fleets last desperate acts against the 2 NAC fleets - IT DIDN'T WORK!!!

Black Powder Campaign

Gary and me took part in the first game of the Black powder campaign we could make.
It is week 14 and I have taken command of the Portuguese.

On this occasion I helped the Spanish commander in his game and Gary took on the French opposite.

In another room, the British were also fighting in the same campaign.

The Spanish Left - my troops

 The Spanish Right

 Ftrench Right - Gary's troops

 French Left

The game went well for the Spanish, they held the river, destroying the bridge.

Only 1 ford was found, but the Spanish held and then pushed them back thanks to some good close range artillery.

 Holding them back.

 The artillery deals the damage.

The battle ended with both sides on either side of the river. The battle was declared a draw with the Spanish losing 3 to the French 1 (some great long range artillery fire).

The British held the French and despite taking heavy loses, the British were declared winners.

 Thr British Right under pressure.

They came on in the same old way and we beat them in the same old way!
