Germans vs British LateWar - Total War Game

by DaBoss on Mon Nov 12, 2012 11:13 am
At another of my Clubs that I frequent 'Wycombe Warband', we had organised a large 'Total War' game involving 10 players each with 1750pts of forces.

The German Players fielded:
2 x Panzerkompanies
1 x Schwere Panzerkompanie
1 x Grenadierkompanie
1 x Fallschirmjagerkompanie

While the British fielded:
1 x Guards Armoured Recce Squadron
2 x Guards Armoured Squadrons
1 x Polish Armoured Squadron
1 x Guards Rifle Company

Mine was the Guards Rifle Company which included a 16 Gun Battery (8 x 25pdrs + 8 x 5.5 guns) to give me a combined Devastating Template at AT5 FP4+ with re-rolls to hit...I was looking forward to this.

A few mistakes from the British, getting suckered into a firefight with 8 Tiger tanks and a stubborn resistance put up by the Fallschirmjager on an objective.

Ended on Turn 4 with a 12vp vs 11vp Win for the Germans (if only we had more time...)

Have included a PDF with photos of the game, enjoy.

Horus Heresy - Sons of Horus New Year Update

by DaBoss on Wed Jan 01, 2014 2:36 pm
With New Years day bring very wet and grey, perfect time to get the paints out and start adding some colour to my Sons of Horus models.

Starting with 2 coats of Dry Brushed Mechanicus Standard Grey.
103.JPG

Two Squads of 20 Tactical Marines, 10 Support Tactical Marines, 2 Apothecaries and a Praetor

101.JPG

Two Spartans.

Now for a Dry Bush of Dawnstone before going with a coat of Biel-Tan Green wash

You'll notice I'm missing the Quad Lascannon guns from the Spartans, seems that Forgeworld sent me Predator Sponsons wrongly!!
Wondered why the brackets seemed too small - phoned FW on 20th Dec, still waiting for the post to arrive; hopefully before Monday 6th as I wanted to use my Sons of Horus in their first game of WH30K (more like against 40K Chaos Space Marines) in a 2000pt game.

Malifaux Game - Viktorias vs Pandora

by DaBoss on Fri Jan 06, 2012 10:46 am
With the New Year passed, got my first game in 2012 at Malifaux.
A group of 4 players, the other guys being their first time out with their painted crews
We decided to have two games of Shared Turf War - get as many of your Crew into the opponents deployment zone.

Neil took his Rasputina Crew up against Mark's Lady Justice Crew, while my Pandora Crew faced off against Bill's Viktoria Crew.

Sorry no photos, as expected with learning the rules game took longer to play than expected (2.5 hours), should be quicker next time as we learn how our crews work and get use to not using dice!!!!

Short summary of major events:

Teddy charges with a 'Flurry' against sworded armed Viktoria and land two lots of weak claw hits then finishing off with a Teeth attack (just to see what it is like) getting a Severe hit for 10 damage - Viktoria is now missing a sizeable chunk of her body...

Unfortunately the other Outcasts then jumped on poor Teddy and between 5 attacks from Johan & Bishop is taken down,...

Board Games - Mantic Dwarf King's Hold

by Baragash on Sun Apr 10, 2011 10:41 am
So assembling Dwarf King's Hold is part of my Q2 Hobby Challenge

Just finished the 10 Revenants (Armoured Skeletons) for the game as well. There's also a Pit of Souls (used in the game) and a Pile of Bones (you get counters for these, but if you had enough Mantic skellies, as I do with a 1k army, you could use "actual" piles), and a Skeleton Rat (used in Kings of War).

Image

6 of the models on the sprue are sculpted Revenants, the other 4 are Skeleton Torsos with blinged up heads and armour pieces to be stuck on (which works fine IMO).

They were nice models to put together:
- mould lines have been run...
