A model I'm fond of, I took the opportunity to grab this model and the Kingdom Death: Pinups of Death boxed set. More on this set to come.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">I wanted to put one together, but I didn't want to have to make any decisions on any optional parts, so I've started with the pin-ups that can only go together one way. :)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-gOgdfsG-a7A/U_cHPWzmKrI/AAAAAAAACv0/wZ4fgr_USLU/s640/blogger-image-321794297.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-gOgdfsG-a7A/U_cHPWzmKrI/AAAAAAAACv0/wZ4fgr_USLU/s640/blogger-image-321794297.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">This is the Great Game Huntress Pin-up.

And dry brushing a light grey over the whole model to show off the details.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-X_xcZhpamlw/U_cHOS5BMZI/AAAAAAAACvs/qMqoQztWY5U/s640/blogger-image-643026535.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-X_xcZhpamlw/U_cHOS5BMZI/AAAAAAAACvs/qMqoQztWY5U/s640/blogger-image-643026535.jpg"></a></div>I then used a white pallid flesh base paint to cover all the skin areas. Once dry I started to build up a flesh tone using a watered down flesh colour.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Next will be a few choice spots of flesh wash to darken the shadows and a highlight of the pallid flesh to lighten up a few shiny bits like cheeks and stomach, possibly with a dab of pure white if I want her to look shiny. I'll see when I get there.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">I will have to consider what kind of shadowing and light sources I want to represent on this model too. It's all experimental really but if I take my time there's no reason this couldn't be one of my best models to date, with each pinup a stepping stone to raise my painting skills. These are certainly the best models I've ever seen in plastic.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Thinking of colour schemes is difficult, I was considering maybe going for a Harley-Quinn thing with black red and white, but I actually like the original art from KD</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-AK4lS1rWFRs/U_cbAbdD74I/AAAAAAAACwU/U6oTvA_nG4Q/s640/blogger-image--1803912881.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-AK4lS1rWFRs/U_cbAbdD74I/AAAAAAAACwU/U6oTvA_nG4Q/s640/blogger-image--1803912881.jpg"></a></div><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">the white and red make her look rich and royal, nothing like the lowly survivors.

Monday saw the opening round of my first Dreadball league.</div>
<div class="tr_bq">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-KQIzZiIFn14/U5AmHNiPQ9I/AAAAAAAACvQ/sRMCxE94hwo/s640/blogger-image-43155493.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-KQIzZiIFn14/U5AmHNiPQ9I/AAAAAAAACvQ/sRMCxE94hwo/s640/blogger-image-43155493.jpg"></a></div><br></div>
<div class="tr_bq">
It's an open league so anyone can join anytime and we are still taking on players. (For those in the Nuneaton area, check us out, "NAGA Nuneaton Alternative Gamers Association" on FB)</div>
<div class="tr_bq">
<br></div>
<div class="tr_bq">
I've written up the first game as a bit of a story. At the moment the teams are unknown entities only being successful at low level leagues. They are entering an audition for the big leagues, where millions of teams are being whittled down in mass games of Dreadball Ultimate. These games are not the huge events that Dreadball fans will be familiar with from holovision, they are worn down and only attended by the bored locals or possibly a few die hard fans who have travelled far to see their friends play.</div><div class="tr_bq"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div></div><div class="tr_bq">Over to the commentator:</div>
<blockquote>
Welcome to Game <a href="tel:1033/888054" x-apple-data-detectors="true" x-apple-data-detectors-type="telephone" x-apple-data-detectors-result="0">1033/888054</a> in the NAGA Dreadball League quickfire try-outs, we appreciate you joining us on this cold dark evening, the weather is bad it’s a horrible day for the 4,000 fans in the stands taking cover in balconies 1 and 3, but they are truly dedicated fans indeed.<br>The Refbot for this match is a Mk 4 Clevertron, ID: 38555**209 so only in its 209th recall it should provide us a pretty reliable game. We've been asked to call her "Sally 209"<br>These four teams have made names for themselves on their home planets but we at the NAGA league refuse to recognise them until they have proved themselves on the field, or have been shamed in the name of sport!<br>It’s only a 4 team game tonight as the other two teams were onboard the ill-fated Coruscean transport which met its end earlier tonight.<br>In the yellow corner, a female team from the corporation on Scion MCM.<br>In the purple corner, a Forgefather team from the mines of Beta 9V.<br>In the red corner, a Veer-Myn team from Loral IV.<br>And in the green corner a male corporation team from Dath.<br>The teams are taking to the field, it’s looking like they are ready to go.<br>“Sally209” is raising her hand, AND THE FIRST BALL IS LAUNCHED!</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<u>Round 1</u> </blockquote>
<blockquote>
The male Corp team is sprinting ahead, there’s some muscling happening between the Veer-Myn and the male Corp in their back rows.<br>AND THE SECOND BALL IS LAUNCHED! It’s been snapped up by male Corp Striker number 6, who is making strides back up towards his own zones.<br>What's this? A Forgefather Guard, Number 3 is charging headlong at one of the girls’ Jacks, and oh my I think he’s taken her out badly, yes she’s flown across the pitch like a ragdoll. Guard number 3 is rubbing his neck but he looks unhurt. The Female Corp Jack is looking rather lifeless and OH LOOK ITS THE MALE CORP STRIKER NUMBER 6 HEADING FOR THE VEER-MYN HOME ZONE, he lines up, shoots and SCOOOORES!! 2 points to the male corps there. </blockquote>
<blockquote>
<u>Round 2 – Current Scores:<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Female Corp:0 / Forgefather:0 / Veer-Myn:0 / Male Corp:2</u> </blockquote>
<blockquote>
The female corp Guard is getting slightly more boisterous, possibly angered by her teammate’s demise, there’s a fair amount of rough and tumble over in their zone, OH AND THE VEER-MYN STRIKER HAS SNATCHED THE BALL AWAY AND IS TEARING ACROSS THE PITCH TOWARDS THE FORGEFATHERS’ HOME ZONE, he passes, it’s good, AND SCORES!!!!!! 2 points to the Veer-Myn to bring them up in joint 1st with the male Corps.<br>Forgefather Guard 1 has mumbled something off-coloured regarding the dead female Corp player, unfortunately the big cam was right on his face at the time, the crowd are not happy! He’s being pelted with debris, a Millidog straight to the face! Great shot by that unruly mob on the sidelines, OH!! He’s been taken out by male Corps Guard 2, the crowd is ecstatic!! Male Corp Jack 4 is really lapping this up, he’s waving to the crowd as he makes his way around the side of the pitch! </blockquote>
<blockquote>
<u>Round 3 – Current Scores:<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Female Corp:0 / Forgefather:0 / Veer-Myn:2 / Male Corp:2</u> </blockquote>
<blockquote>
Seemingly emboldened by the crowd support female Corp Striker 3 has battled her way through the male Corp defense, past the Veer-Myn Guards and SCOOOOORES!! 1 Point there in the male Corp / Veer-Myn Shared Zone, deducting a point from both of those teams! That’s an equalizer right there, It seems like the Forgefathers have taken this distraction as an opportunity to get the second ball up the field and its Striker 7, he shoots! SCOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORES!! IN THE SAME ZONE NO DOUBT!! The Veer-Myn and male Corp need to bolster their defense, that’s all of their points gone! </blockquote>
<blockquote>
<u>Round 4 – Current Scores:<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Female Corp:1 / Forgefather:1 / Veer-Myn:0 / Male Corp:0</u> </blockquote>
<blockquote>
The Veer-Myn Defence are nodding to each other knowingly, I think they all know they need to take this fight out into the opposing arm, the Veer-Myn Strikers have bolted out of their zone after the ball, but what’s this? The male Corp Strikers have run back into their arm of the pitch, theyr’e heading for the Veer-Myn Home Zone!! He shoots! SCORES!! The Veer-Myn team are shaking their heads in disbelief! They cannot believe it!<br>They should probably keep their eyes on the game though as there’s a male Corp Jack running around their back lines with the other ball WOAH! The ball has SHATTERED?!! I think it must have been an old ball, that is very unfortunate. The game must go on however, another has been fired back into the pitch while the male Corp team are left scratching their heads. </blockquote>
<blockquote>
<u>Round 5 – Current Scores:<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Female Corp:1 / Forgefather:1 / Veer-Myn:0 / Male Corp:2</u> </blockquote>
<blockquote>
It’s getting late in the game now, the Veer-Myn really need to pull this out the bag to compete in this game, they really are pushing forwards now, they’re all over the Forgefather/female Corp zones like a plague. The ball is flying all over the place, OH! There’s been an incident out in the Forgefather zone, a Veer-Myn Striker has been wiped off the pitch, his tail is still twitching though. The team are unphased, the ball heads towards the female Corps Home Zone, its in!! SCORE! 2 points to the Veer-Myn, the female Corps reduced to 0, they are not happy!</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<u>Round 6 – Current Scores:<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Female Corp:0 / Forgefather:1 / Veer-Myn:2 / Male Corp:2</u> </blockquote>
<blockquote>
I think the players are getting tired out there, the girls look like they are all out of puff, the Veer-Myn are spread all over the place, the Forgefathers are bunched up in a defensive wall. Only the male Corp team seem to be active, they’re going in for the final Strike, the Veer-Myn can’t stop them, and its IN, SCOOOOOOREEEE! That’s the game over right there! Another 2 points for the male Corps, 1 point stolen from under the Veer-Myns’ noses.<br>The klaxon sounds signaling game end, now that was an unexpectedly eventful game for such a low league try-out. I look forward to seeing these teams take to the field again. </blockquote>
<blockquote>
<u>Final Scores:<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Female Corp:0 / Forgefather:1 / Veer-Myn:1 / Male Corp:4</u> </blockquote>
<blockquote>
That leaves the league points standing at:<br>Male Corporation:.......... 3<br>Veer-Myn:………………..1<br>Forgefather:…………......1<br>Female Corporation:........0</blockquote><blockquote><br>Over to the player interviews:<br>Striker 6 (Male Corporation): “I think we just proved that skill and a bit of luck win over brutality”<br>Unknown Striker (Veer-Myn): “Rat King will be displeased”<br>Guard 1 (Forgefather): “Ironically we made more money at this game from the crowd throwing their food at me”<br>Guard 3 (Forgefather):"haha, I think I've slipped a disk or something, my shoulders are numb, I can't feel a thing anymore"<br>Coach (Female Corporation): “I’m afraid we are announcing our retirement from the league due to the fatality. The ‘Lady Killers’ have been a great team but out star player was literally crushed by our defeat.”</blockquote>

<u><b><br /></b></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Originally I planned to use a list based around giving all my ships boost, thus able to change direction to ensure beyond doubt that I could shoot every turn, I also originally wanted the YT-1300 with a gunner, making doubly sure it would hit something every turn. After a couple of tester games I decided both of these ideas were needlessly expensive.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In the end I settled on a more streamlined list, going for the classic A-wing Tycho Push the limit list, the tank YT-1300 with chewy shrugging off crit effects, and a B wing for the knife fights.</div>

<b><u>Game Plan:</u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p><br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I set out with a
fairly basic plan for each game, positioning both the A-wing and B-wing
together on one side of the table pointing directly forwards, with the falcon
on the other side of the table pointing diagonally away from the other 2 ships.
My plan was to always change the direction of the falcon with a tight turn off
the bat, misdirecting the opponent – unless it seemed better to continue in
that direction. I also always kept a decent sized asteroid field in the centre
as I find the falcon insanely manoeuvrable and enjoy leading the enemy
through it at any opportunity.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Apologies for lack of info on the opponent lists, it was a few weeks back now.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><u>Game 1</u></b><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Nigel – Tycho Celchu, X-wing Biggs, X-wing (named)<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Without wanting to sound like it was a walk over, I essentially lucked out with my positioning and manoeuvres resulting in me running rings around Nigel’s squadron, wiping him out to a man. This was the game I was actually unsure about due to the 3 named pilots, but as it turned out I ended up being able to wipe out Biggs early on, essentially removing his blocking ability by using it to my advantage. 5 competition points for a complete win.</div>

<b><u>Game 2</u></b><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Scott – TIE Swarm with vader in a TIE Advanced<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This game I was having
difficulty planning my moves, it’s hard to run rings around superior numbers,
in retrospect I should have concentrated on killing a ship each turn, focusing
my attacks, and trying to keep out of R1 of all the fighters. In the end I lost
the Falcon, losing 42 points, but somehow managed to kill enough to claim back
43 points, giving me a technical win for competition 3 points.<o:p></o:p></div>

Dave – 3x TIE
interceptor, 1 TIE fighter, <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This was a nervous
game, Both Dave and I were after a decent win. I used the Falcons
manoeuvrability to keep it behind the interceptors, some unlucky dice rolling
from Dave meant his first attack run was fairly uneventful, resulting in a
largely scattered game of pot shots whilst the falcon just did its thing. It was extremely close, but I
managed to scrape a technical win = 3 competition points<o:p></o:p></div>

<b><u>Game 4</u></b><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Brent – 3x B-Wing,
Heavy laser cannon<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This was THE game.
Brent has a tendancy to take a pretty hardcore list and utilise it to its
fullest. In this case 3 heavy laser cannon toting B-Wings flying in a defensive
wall proved impenetrable. Flying the three ships together creates a “Death
zone” in front where you are going to be hit by 1, 2 or 3 rounds of 4 dice
shots, regardless of range. The B-Wings manoeuvres also allow the wall to
switch direction neatly, by flipping with a koiogran 2, or pulling a tight
turn, the fire arc is easily turned to face any oncoming foes. My first mistake
was flying the A-wing straight at them. The second mistake was flying my B-wing
straight at them. The final mistake was being anywhere near the B-Wings. In
retrospect I’m still completely at a loss how to approach this list, I could
have flown the falcon and B-wing at the wall, try to scatter the squad whilst
getting the A-wing to fly in behind and get close, but this would probably have
ended in the demise of the falcon turn 1, not a great position to be in. I
think I should have made brent approach me through the Asteroid field, forcing
him to make some manoeuvre decisions. Luckily not losing the falcon kept Brent
from getting a full win. A loss = 0 competition points for me<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
I think the tension was too high with this game and i forgot to take any pictures, imagine 3 B-Wings strafing left and right on the far table edge whilst I wandered straight into it and blew up.</div>

<b><u><br /></u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
After the X-Wing competition, I figured it would be a nice send off to have a large game of X-Wing (or as we have jokingly referred to in the past as "Proper X-Wing")</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I spent a few days throwing together some ideas, worked out how many ships the club could muster, thought about what would make the game fun, play quickly, and be entirely based on the idea of a scenario that captures the flavour of Star Wars. Both myself and Dave from NAGA have fond memories of the X-Wing and Tie Fighter games, and I think we're both slightly addicted to this game. (Bring on the bigger stuff - fleets ahoy!)</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><u>
The Scenario</u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0pt;">
<i>A convoy of smugglers has been located by the Empire making their way
through a particularly dangerous asteroid field, their cargo includes vital
Imperial and Rebel secret information to be sold to the highest bidder. Neither
side is willing to pay the treacherous pirates, or indeed allow the information
to fall into enemy hands.<o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>In a bid to escape, the smugglers have begun unloading delicate
information as satellite buoys to distract both factions.</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><br /></i>
<b><u>The Fleets</u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The fleets were fitted out to stay characterful to the Star wars universe. for example all Y-wings have Ion turrets as standard and long range torpedoes. Any ship that could take as astrodroid had one fitted - R2's for the Y-wings and R5s for the X-wings.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
TIE Bombers are loaded to the nines with heavy ordnance including proton bombs.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The A-wings and Interceptors were left standard to keep them focused on shooting, the X-wings and TIE advanced were upgraded with advanced proton torpedoes and homing missiles respectively to give them options.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Another consideration was the Pilot Skills. I opted to have 3 groups of ships, the Fast fighters, the fighter bombers, and the TIE fighters. The interceptors and A-wings were pilot skill 3, the TIE fighters were pilot skill 1, and everything else was pilot skill 2. this kept the turn sequence simple to remember.</div>

<b><u>
The Rules</u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<u>Deployment (Rebel fleet arrives from hyperspace):</u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The fleets were divided into squadrons of 3 or 4 ships, this was entirely for deployment purposes and to divide the fleet between the players<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
The imperial players had first choice of deployment, getting to place one of the ships from each squad anywhere on their half of the board, facing any direction.<br />
<br />
The rebels then placed their squadron leaders against their table edge with any straight forwards manouevre selected, ready to arrive from hyperspace.<br />
<br />
The rest of the imperial ships were then deployed in their squadrons (within R1 facing any direction)<br />
<br />
The rebel squadron leaders then revealed their dials, with the intention of making two immediate movements using the selection shown on their dials.<br />
<br />
BUT the imperials revealed they had an Interdictor class Star Destroyer disrupting the hyperdrives, bringing the rebels out early. Each rebel squadron leader rolled an attack die, on a hit result they had to reduce their dial by 1. if this reduced the movement to 0, the squadron were simply placed on the table edge and became stressed.<br />
Otherwise the rebel ships made two movements with the current movement dial.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-lZyP5mv52fA/Uzs92x4juzI/AAAAAAAACrs/g60__fVIs_M/s1600/IMG_3281.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-lZyP5mv52fA/Uzs92x4juzI/AAAAAAAACrs/g60__fVIs_M/s1600/IMG_3281.JPG" height="400" width="300" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Deployment</div>
<u>Damage tokens:</u><br />
I made some damage tokens (the orange circles bottom left of the above picture) to replace any damage caused. Crits were still resolved using a damage deck for each side, but normal damage was recorded with tokens to reduce card usage - this had the added benefit of saving space around the ship cards.<br />
<u><br /></u>
<u>The Satellites:</u><br />
6 satellite buoys were placed around the table, each with 1 rebel information token and 1 imperial information token on it.<br />
Just like the main rulebook scenario a ship that was overlapping a satellite buoy could perform a scanning action, although I increased this to "Any ship that has moved over or is overlapping a satellite buoy..."<br />
A scanning ship simply takes the corresponding information token from the satellite buoy and places it on the ship's card.<br />
I also added the ability to destroy satellites: any primary attack which scores two hits in a single attack destroys a satellite, no focus tokens or target locks can be spent on this attack.<br />
Any information tokens on a satellite or ship that is destroyed is lost and removed from the game.<br />
<u><br /></u>
<u>The Smuggler Convoy:</u><br />
Consisting of two YT-1300s and two Lambda class shuttles (one with 3 rebel information tokens, the other with 3 imperial information tokens), the convoy was set up on one short table edge. at the end of each round the convoy would make a 2 straight forward movement, always keeping a 1 straight space between them. they never performed actions, and never dinked each other, though they could dink other ships. The two YT-1300s then immediately performed a single attack each against the closest enemy ship (Rebel or Imperial)<br />

<br />
<u>Winning the game:</u><br />
At the end of the game, the team holding the most information tokens (on surviving ships) was the winner. The tokens on the shuttles were also counted if the shuttle was still operational.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
Kaboom! and the last two hull points pop!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Results:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Imperial hold 3 pieces of information, plus the shuttle is still alive making 6 in total.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Rebels hold 1 piece of information.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The Empire are victorious!<br />

I enjoyed this game immensely and I definitely learned a few things for the next Proper X-Wing game...</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: left;">Pre-designated deployment may be an option to speed up the game, Taking the options out of the players hands might seem harsh, but if the ships are set up where they should be (fighters up front, bombers at the back for example) then it shouldn't be too much of a problem.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">I originally roughed up ideas for having a "personal ship" that represented the player on the table, which I will be introducing next game I'm sure. I'm glad it wasn't present in this initial game though, for simplicity's sake.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">We discussed at the end the idea of movement trays for squadrons, I personally think a follow the leader approach would be better, where the squadron initially has a single dial, with the squadron leader making the movements and the wingmen simply tagging along in formation (simply place them in the same positioning in respect to each other but facing the same direction as the leader) until they opt to break into individual manouevres.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Set up is a monumental task. It took just over an hour to set up the ships (which involved finding all the correct base inserts) we had to find matching target lock tokens, separate out all the upgrade cards, lay out the ship cards around the table edge, etc etc. Luckily Dave has all the components broken down into separate sections of tubs and containers so it was fairly straight forwards.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Pilot skill is something that I can't quite make my mind up on how best to use it in large games like this. its best not to complicate things so that everybody can get into a routine for each round, there's a lot going on and the more ships going at the same time means the more lenient you can be with forgetting to move one ship before another etc, and it also keeps everybody engaged in the game at the same time. I think i will try to use Pilot skill as a way of telling the story - the faction with the upper hand and their best pilots will have the higher skills - in this scenario the empire were not really prepared for the rebel fleet's arrival, hence the low pilot skills on the TIEs, whereas if the TIEs were attacking say a rebel convoy, I might give them a higher skill to represent their battle-readiness.</li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Well that's all for me, I'm going to work on my Dreadball teams this weekend, and a little painting project for NAGA. so will probably be putting X-wing away for a rest for a while, though with salute coming up I'm hoping to pick up some new ships if I see any...</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
In gaming news, my Hive Splinter Borlin has been renovated for the new codex, I had a little game with them and I think it's nice to have a 6th ed codex to play with. I'm unsure about the new IG (AM?) book, I'm actually liking the new scion models, I might pick up a box if i can find them heavily discounted anywhere, the Taurox does nothing for me, It's not even the model that puts me off, but I wont be buying large amounts for 40k anymore, Forgeworld might sway that slightly (the Tyranid monsters revealed at FW open day interest me a lot, and the Anphelion re-write should be good to (hopefully) update the Scythed Hierodule.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I'm really liking the Mantic Terrain, and will most likely go along to the next Mantic open day and see what goodies I can get my hands on. I have a few kits ordered with my Mars Attacks game, but the damaged set they've just announced look amazing! If I can get my hands on a few standard sets early before my MArs Attacks order arrives, I might be tempted to pick up a few to mess about with.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Oh and in Kickstarter news, the latter half of this year is going to be insane.... so many projects coming to completion from this month onwards. I'm going to have to think of places to store it all...</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

Catch you soon!! (I might have a better time writing these posts if I didn't insist on leaving it so long between them haha)</div>

I've found a great gaming group here in the midlands, the Nuneaton Alternative Gaming Association (NAGA)<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
They meet on Monday and Wednesday nights which is excellent for me being up here all week, as I'm usually back south on the weekends.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
They are into their X-Wing, Fantasy, board games, Magic the gathering, and RPGs.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I've been going for a few weeks now and have found they are open to give any new games a bash, which is really interesting for someone who collects games at a tremendous rate but rarely gets to play them.</div>

Recently I've been hosting some intro games to see if the club is interested in playing a league. It turns out they are, as long as I run it. Which I'll gladly do.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

I've been honing my teaching skills along with my team tactics so hopefully I can spur on the other players to some skillful games in no time. (I even managed to get my parents and girlfriend involved in a game, though the parents (not gamers) both agreed they preferred Zombicide for it's fewer rules and setting (my girlfriend is also not a gamer and was mainly involved in dice rolling, but there was an unusual amount of 6's being rolled, so it worked out well!)</div>

Well last weekend I attended the Mantic Open Day in Nottingham, I figured I should use my new location in the midlands to my advantage and get some Wargames trips in while I'm here.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I got to the show fairly early, it's a humble affair with an honest "no frills" feel, they've recently bought an old health centre which they are clearly in the very early planning stage of renovation, but it has plenty of room for expansion which I think says a lot about Mantic's plans, they are big.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Upon entering I get a vague bearing of the place, there's queues out of the main hall towards the game specific rooms, so I figured I'd wander to the back of the main hall and keep my eyes peeled for the other N.A.G.A guys.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-ecT9cLbOg-A/Up89PMoDXmI/AAAAAAAACoA/KJH4D77dUoU/s640/blogger-image-306449814.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-ecT9cLbOg-A/Up89PMoDXmI/AAAAAAAACoA/KJH4D77dUoU/s400/blogger-image-306449814.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Instead I find a group of people waiting to play a demo game of LOKA. They need an extra person, so I decide to join in. Also I may have heard the accented voice of Allessio Cavatore and leapt at the opportunity to have a little chat with him.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<a href="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-g0Qad9QI0kA/Up89N5uXBNI/AAAAAAAACn4/hDKvHltA4kA/s640/blogger-image--727703958.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-g0Qad9QI0kA/Up89N5uXBNI/AAAAAAAACn4/hDKvHltA4kA/s400/blogger-image--727703958.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">LOKA is a great little game, it's essentially chess, with the basic chess movement mechanics at it's core, but with wargame elements thrown in, dice rolls for attacks, support synergy from orchestrated attacks, terrain, and army list building. Very neat and almost a leveller for chess players, knowing how to play chess may help, but good dice rolling will still be key.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">I found my way to the Hawk Wargames room where they were demoing dropzone commander, coincidentally on some lovely gaming boards from a Kickstarter campaign which I had already pledged for earlier in the week. </span></div>

Ronnie and Jake Thornton give us a very frank, honest discussion about the future of Mantic, how they got here and the things they've learnt and their plans for the future. They have big plans, and even though I'm not anything to do with the Mantic team, I was inspired by the genius of their plans. I hope it all goes well because this is a passionate company.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I need to decide between learning my Tyranid psychic power rules and putting together a 1250 point list (:/)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Or</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Getting together 1250 points of guard and finishing the painting of a few units.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Both are a bit of a pain, I don't really want to be learning the old codex rules just before the new codex drops, and I don't like taking a small nid force if I can help it, I iust love the toys too much in that force to cut out units.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
So it's looking more likely to be guard, I just have to get my nose against the grinder with regards to painting.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Off the too of my head I can think of several projects I would need to undertake to get a fully painted force:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
- build and paint up the remaining hazmat veterans required in my command squad.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
- paint up any tanks/flyers used (none are at a finished standard yet)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
On a positive note the infantry are all done :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<b>Thoughts</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
So that's a long rambling post into the aether.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I'm aware I'm quite a solitary hobbyist, I'm a bit of a lurker in the community, I tend to wander around the internet, dropping comments randomly. But I guess I'm an occasional gamer, private hobbyist, I have a social life outside of nerdy activities, but I'm 100% miniature enthusiast! Kickstarter addict and plastic crack addict. It's great to see comments and views on this blog, and I will do my utmost to increase my outgoing presence online. Maybe that will be my New Years resolution... Hmm</div>

I've been having a go at honing my zombie skills,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
My ZOMG zombies are in a scooby doo green, so I thought I'd go for a more ""realistic"" look with these guys, to keep the horror element in this game.</div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
First, a tester</div>

<div style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
To speed up the painting process (I have over 100 of these damn things to paint!!) I picked up some grey primer, this would save priming in black then requiring a base coat of a lighter colour, I can simply paint the colours straight onto the grey base. </div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I also picked up a pot of Pallid Wych Flesh (GW layer) for the flesh, with a wash of Reikland Fleshshade (GW shade). This gives them a human colour, but a with a pale bloodless look</div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<br />
I pretty much followed the box art for this guy, but I have plans for some simple modifications to change a couple of these guys up for different proffessions. (need to find some hats...)<br />
<br />
I'm currently painting up some of the female zombies, and my my are some delicate clothing on show! oh well, it's not pervy if it's shambling towards you!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
On a different note, it's Triple Helix Wargames 2nd birthday this weekend, so I'll be making a day of it over there saturday, seeing what games I can get involved in - maybe someone will finally want a game of Zombicide...<br />
<br />
Well, Until next time,<br />
<br />
Cheers,<br />

<br />
I've been busy the past few weeks, away on job advancing trips, going to festivals and general holiday fun. but now I'm back, in time to recieve tons of new minis!!<br />
<br />
YES!!! it finally landed on my doorstep, number 2 of the 5 kickstarter projects I've backed!<br />

<br />
I've been playing a few rounds of the first few scenarios, and MAN is it good! its got such a slick ruleset, the rounds just fly by, as do the bullets and zombie parts!!<br />

<br />
I want to get this down the local gaming clubs as soon as possible, (I'll probably head over to Triple Helix friday or saturday to see if anyone fancies giving it a whirl)<br />

<br />
I'll give it a more thorough review after I've played some full games, but I can tell you a few points that stand out to me<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Molotovs are INSANE! FOOOSH!!<br />
Zombies bog you down quickly if you don't have backup!<br />
You always roll low when your life depends on it!<br />
When one half of the board is empty, the other half is usually full of the undead!!<br />
<br />
I'll be back with another post after the weekend assuming I can get some games with some other people to get some opinions!<br />
<br />
Cheers<br />

Hi guys, <br />
<br />
Today I'm going to run down all the details from Vonwar which happened on the 15th & 16th of April.<br />
<br />
(A while ago I know, but I've been busy with many things that got in the way of writing up this massive post)<br />
Choosing my army<br />
<br />
Originally I was going to run the Lucky88th, but after a bit of meddling with the list, I realised it was going to demand one hell of a dedication to get it painted ready in time. Hive Splinter Borlin on the otherhand, is much further on.<br />
<br />
I wrote out an initial list, containing everything I own, apart from the Scythed Hierodule. I included the Malanthrope because forgeworld units are allowed.<br />
<br />
My initial thoughts for extra units to fill out the last few hundred points were Mieotic Spores, not to be confused with Micetic spores. These are forgeworld units, giant spores that explode creating smaller spores.<br />
<br />
After a bit of a price consideration, I realised that to field any forgeworld units, I would need to fork out for the latest forgeworld apocalypse book, so rather than do that, I removed the Malanthrope, and the thought of giant spores<br />
<br />
Instead I went stark raving loony and bought some finecast spores and a broodlord. and a Tyrannofex...<br />
<br />
I got to have a game with my mates a few weekends before, from this I realised I was drastically lacking Synapse to control my forces. So I Eventually settled on a winged hive tyrant to kill 3 birds with one stone, its only a single model to build and paint, its most of the extra 300 points down in one go, and its a synapse beast.<br />
<br />
so heres the army I took!<br />
<br />

<strong>1st Game</strong><br />
<br />
The Deployment was odd, you could only deploy fast attack and units with the Scout USR within 18" of your table edge, the second player could deploy his fast attack and scouts anywhere outside of 18" of the enemy.<br />
on turn 1, all T<span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;"><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;">roop Units & their Dedicated Transports enter play from your table edge, on turn 2 all Elite and Heavy Support Units & their Dedicated Transports, then turn 3 all HQ & their Dedicated Transports. reserves could only be rolled for on turn 3 onwards on a 3+ as normal</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;"><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;"><br />
drop pods however dropped in pretty much normally...</span><br />
My first game was against Mike, He had a lot of Drop Pods<br />
<br />
This was a disaster for me, I ploughed forwards hoping to grab the trees on the hill and claim a moral victory holding the "High Ground", having pretty much decided the game was lost.</span><br />

2nd Game<br />
<br />
This game used "Ambassadors", these were 25mm based infantry models, which were essentially moving objectives which you "picked up" with troops<br />
<br />
This would prove to be a bloody game, with, Nids Vs Nids<br />
<br />
I decided, due to the positioning of the ambassadors (in the opposing corners to our deployment) to split into 2 forces, one would have 2 waves of hormagaunts, and a heavy hitting main force. the other would be the Flying Hive Tyrant, with a squad of hormagaunts, the plan being, the tyrant jumps in and causes a messy distraction while the hormagaunts run away with the ambassador (pictured below, the "brainy" hormagaunt)<br />

3rd Game<br />
<br />
This game was against Dave McCoy, a bit of a legend in local tourney, mainly for his 4 pint jug 'o' beer at Attack!, but also for his attrocious rolling of 1's. they aren't regular, just when he really doesn't want them. He brought his Sisters of Battle.<br />

<br />
In this game there was a single objective, and the player with the most scoring units within 3" of the objective would gain 3 points. It was also important to get units into the enemies' deployment zone, every unit wholly within it gained you 1 point. most points won.<br />
<br />I pretty much lined up and launched at the objective, with monstrous flanking units to clear paths.<br />

I managed to pull a win from this game, with 2 units on the objecive, and 1 unit in the enemy deployment zone!<br />
<br />
4th Game<br />
<br />
James Wickes is a cool character, he loves him some blood angel tanks!<br />
<br />
You join the pictures a couple of turns in. the deployment was spearhead. This mission was meant to start in nightfight, with a 4+ continue for turn 2, and auto daylight on turn 3. but we forgot...<br />
<br />
the mission objective was a modified kill points, with more expensive units giving more kill points<br />

I managed to pull out a resounding win, with James barely killing anything<br />
5th Game<br />
<br />This game was a toughy, it was objectives, but different objectives were worth different amounts.<br />

my opponent, ran ravenwing. to be honest, I have no real experience fighting bikers...<br />

Caught up in this battle (it was closely fought) I neglected to take any more pictures during the game it would seem, but the final turn was tense. In my last turn (I was going second) I managed to catch my opponent off guard with a super long run by my hormagaunts to claim the centre objective, this had the effect of drawing the game, but a huge! miscalculation on my part meant I also assaulted the venomthrope into a squad of troop bikers, and when it died, they managed to consolidate a fraction of an inch into the centre objective claiming zone. so I lost by a fraction of an inch. I learnt that lesson solidly :D<br />
<br />
So all in all this was a great lesson in how to "Play the Game" objective wise.<br />
<br />
I've played another Vonwar game recently, I haven't taken many photos of that one, just a couple to show off some armies, which I will post up soon.<br />
<br />
But right now I better get back to painting Super Dungeon Explore (you will find my painting progress detailed on the right at <a href="http://delveintothedungeon.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">Delve Into The Dungeon</a>)<br />
<br />
So until next time<br />
<br />
Cheers<br />

<br />
I want to assure you this site<strong> is not dead</strong>, despite the loooong lurches between posts.<br />
<br />
those with keen eyes may have noticed yet another side blog appearing. Now I know I have a habit of putting up these side projects, and not posting much on them, well this is soon to stop.<br />
<br />
I'm Going to explain some upcoming changes, and how the site will now be run... how it was inteded to be run :)<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><strong>Lucky88th</strong> - This is the Hub, main page, of my blogging. It will be where my buying, gaming and tournament play will be posted along with everything Imperial Guard related. In the future I will be including unboxing videos, and painting tutorials (hopefully) This of course involves putting my ugly mug on camera, or at least my awful voice (I've got a voice for written word!)</li>
</ul>
<br />
<ul>
<li><strong><a href="http://hivesplinterborlin.blogspot.com/">Hive Splinter Borlin</a></strong> - This is where Tyranid related modelling and painting posts will go. along with some minor list detailing.</li>
</ul>
<br />
<ul>
<li><strong><a href="http://tsini-zomg.blogspot.com/">ZOMG!!!</a></strong> - This initially started as a game design "notepad" if you will to share my design thoughts and processes, as you can see I havent gotten very far with that, So I'm going to loosen it up a bit, It will now house anything Zombie related, including my thoughts on the ZOMG!!! game which really is a game I want to produce!</li>
</ul>
<br />
<ul>
<li><strong><a href="http://confederatedslatesofantarctica.blogspot.com/">Confederated Slates of Antarctica</a></strong> - This blog has stalled, but only because I havent painted anything apart from the beast that is Ajax. When I pick up Dystopian Wars properly, posts will resume.</li>
</ul>
<br />
<ul>
<li><strong><a href="http://hullbreached.blogspot.co.uk/">Hull Breached</a></strong> - This is the new guy, after a nailbiting Kickstarter Campaign, I am now awaiting delivery (the first in november, the second in March 2013) of <a href="http://www.seditionwars.com/" target="_blank">Sedition Wars</a>. I will go into much more detail nearer the time, but I can assure you I have Big plans for Hull Breached. I'm going to stretch my Writing muscle and essentially build a story through this beautiful game. Everything Sedition Wars related will be here.</li>
</ul>
<br />
<ul>
<li><strong>And another Blog still to come</strong> - A rubbish working title, I'm just thinking of a cool name for the site, when I do, I've already got models in a decent state for photography, so watch this space if you're a fan of Bladerunner, and Film Noir...</li>
</ul>
<br />
<strong>So what does the future hold?</strong><br />
<br />
Well I'm going to try and be less hesitant with the posts, I still havent finished my rundown of the Vonwar competition, which I better get a move on because I'm attending another one at the end of this month, Attrition (5th Ed rules), more on that to come soon.<br />
<br />
Also, Sedition Wars isn't the only game I've been throwing money at recently. But I'll reveal that when it arrives in the post.<br />
<br />
<strong>Now, It's Personal</strong><br />
<br />
Personally, Im Intending to move house in October (a nice Birthday present) The Girlfreind has agreed that we'll split the spare bedroom as an office (for her), and a wargames painting station/display area (for her.... no, me!)<br />
<br />
I'm confident this will eventually lead to an improved production rate for myself, and anticipate my blog to reach what most bloggers would call "bare minimum" in no time at all! :D<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>My thoughts on 6th Edition 40k: "It can wait till I can be bothered to get it"</strong><br />
<br />
I'm genuinely excited for a new edition of 40k. but I'm in no rush to grab a copy, I can't see me needing to play a game of it for a few months yet, So I'll get the painting done first, then I'll worry about catching up nearer the end of the year, after a deluge of other games and projects.<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>So, to the future!</strong><br />
<br />
You see, I'm not dead, just so snowed under with so many projects I don't know where to begin, but with my Guard needing work for Attrition, and some large orders heading my way, I need to get on and do something. So until the next post (ETA: sometime soonish!)<br />
<br />
Cheers for sticking around!<br />
<br />
Also I'm thinking of doing some kind of prize draw... these always work well for fledgling blogs right?<br />
<br />
<br />
ohhh what a tease!<br />

<br />

You will notice I have left out one army... Mine! because I want to introduce some of my new monsters on <a href="http://hivesplinterborlin.blogspot.co.uk/">Hive Splinter Borlin</a> before diving into some dramatic gaming action on here.<br /><br />I've tried to remember the names of the owners, and will update this post if I can find a comprehensive list.<br /><br />Enjoy!<br /><br />Andy "Sammael" Driver's Ravenwing<br /><p><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-tZVxQzTeT8U/T4s3rH1F_GI/AAAAAAAACOk/PVq0OcSHLB8/s1600/IMAG0332.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

Of course I pre reserved it for collection, which is ALWAYS the smarty thing to do at FW open day, the queue is always immense.

I'm using them to represent any veterans in my force, making it easier to remember which squads have a higher ballistic skill (which I often forget in the heat of battle)</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>So the Regimental Command Squads and Veteran Squads will get these funky models.

Battle Report from Forgeworld Open Day<p>I've finally got my laptop back from the shop. a new Hard drive, fingers crossed this one won't go belly up.</p><br /><p>Time for some Battle reports</p><br /><p>I apologise in advance for the "messyness" of these reports, in particular the video is patchy, shaky and without commentary.</p><br /><p></p><br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/9YuonagIc90?hl=en&fs=1"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><br /><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/9YuonagIc90?hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br /><p>I'm still getting used to my video camera, and these games were, as always, rushed through with little time to think about taking pictures and filming the particular events.</p><br /><p>As fellow wargamers I'm sure you can appreciate the visuals of these games, Warhammer world really does take wargaming to another level with their gaming tables. </p><br /><p><strong><u>Game 1:</u></strong> 1 objective each, Spearhead Deployment (Table Quarters) Fought over a scrapyard full of tank hulls and ruined buildings.</p><br /><p>I won deployment, and so set up around a building, placing all my heavy weapon teams in elevated positions, with the heavier leman russ tanks in front, surrounded by conscripts. I planned to flank the shifty TAU with a small reconnaissance force of a salamander and a plasma cannon toting armoured sentinel on the left, and a hard hitting Medusa, backed up by troops, a cyclops, and Winters' command squad to the right.</p><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-rvqU2ggxvkk/TaGsd2EaVvI/AAAAAAAAB3M/8YfgFSwhKG8/s1600/IMG_1240.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5593941840901068530" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-rvqU2ggxvkk/TaGsd2EaVvI/AAAAAAAAB3M/8YfgFSwhKG8/s400/IMG_1240.JPG" /></a> The Command Squad ended up bounding over a large scrap pile, heading for a couple of tau transports. <a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-krzxZ50rA8o/TaGsdVzPStI/AAAAAAAAB3E/93AjKdredBk/s1600/IMG_1239.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5593941832239106770" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-krzxZ50rA8o/TaGsdVzPStI/AAAAAAAAB3E/93AjKdredBk/s400/IMG_1239.JPG" /></a> The Medusa lost its main cannon before it had a chance to obliterate any xenos, so the cavalry appeared to lend a hand on the right flank. <a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-llEGnZ9yfe4/TaGnKyjUBtI/AAAAAAAAB28/0ZrmZIf54-k/s1600/IMG_1238.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5593936015981283026" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-llEGnZ9yfe4/TaGnKyjUBtI/AAAAAAAAB28/0ZrmZIf54-k/s400/IMG_1238.JPG" /></a> The Valkyrie entered the board, and was immobilised, bailing out the penal legionnaires <br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-H8PYiWRfbe0/TaGnKvapmuI/AAAAAAAAB20/ztfKNQRTq1k/s1600/IMG_1237.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5593936015139642082" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-H8PYiWRfbe0/TaGnKvapmuI/AAAAAAAAB20/ztfKNQRTq1k/s400/IMG_1237.JPG" /></a> The salamander was immobilised immediately, leaving the sentinel to amble around on its own. the vulture sped overhead to replace it, and some plucky infantry were able to leg it to the left flank and set up a firing position in a ruined building <br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-7DKb-Jjxz6A/TaGnKi6hU6I/AAAAAAAAB2s/fNKJLzYQOIk/s1600/IMG_1236.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5593936011783656354" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-7DKb-Jjxz6A/TaGnKi6hU6I/AAAAAAAAB2s/fNKJLzYQOIk/s400/IMG_1236.JPG" /></a> This building housed my objective, and would have taken a lot of TAU to clear it. <br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-sK5nVKKZDYI/TaGnKRur4WI/AAAAAAAAB2k/jIE2lu5IMHI/s1600/IMG_1235.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5593936007170613602" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-sK5nVKKZDYI/TaGnKRur4WI/AAAAAAAAB2k/jIE2lu5IMHI/s400/IMG_1235.JPG" /></a> These heavy gun drones dropped in to work through the infantry holding my objective, but even if they were able to wipe out a unit a turn, they would have required 3 turns of shooting to clear them all. <br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-d3vDGgKxfdQ/TaGnKMnXkSI/AAAAAAAAB2c/oe5sZYo1qBI/s1600/IMG_1234.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5593936005797744930" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-d3vDGgKxfdQ/TaGnKMnXkSI/AAAAAAAAB2c/oe5sZYo1qBI/s400/IMG_1234.JPG" /></a> </div></div><br /><div>Eventually the game was called a DRAW, due to neither side being able to get any troops to each others objectives within the remaing couple of turns. A particular moment I remember was a junior officer taking a direct hit from a rail cannon and surviving when it failed to wound. he required new commissar trousers afterwards, and a new cap badge. <br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div><strong><u>Game 2:</u></strong> Capture The Bastion <br /><div></div><br /><div>After out lunch, Paul and i decided to squeeze in a VERY quick game in the last 30 mins of Warhammer world being open. we devised a simple scenario. </div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Get the most points onto the bastion.</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>if nothing esle we would get some nice shots of our models on another great board.</div></div></div></div></div>as you can see from the video, we both set up in straight lines on opposite table edges, the TAU lept onto the bastion by turn 2, and the lucky 88th. I decided that we had no time for me to finish my turn 2, but i could see that none of my infantry would make it, and with the TAU on the high ground already, the game was a bust. <a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6zeAbpYP75A/TaGv9ePcHhI/AAAAAAAAB4M/4cF3xnqeiqQ/s1600/IMG_1248.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center;

I think a nice Map campaign is in order, this way we can gain some "overall" feel of all our little games, and have a visual representation of our progress.<br /><br />I'm looking for some input on the scenarios and rewards, so let me know what you think.<br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Lacerta</span></span><br />This small planet is situated on a large eliptical orbit around Borlina, just off the cadian gate. believed to be an old hunting range used by the dignitaries of borlina, the planet is now overgrown and full of alien creatures, devoid of inteligent lifeforms because no smart creature would ever set foot upon its wild surface.<br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_dKzBWK8cqBI/TLnUnPROatI/AAAAAAAABo0/YiaFgGoeoRU/s1600/maplacerta.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 399px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_dKzBWK8cqBI/TLnUnPROatI/AAAAAAAABo0/YiaFgGoeoRU/s400/maplacerta.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5528683788152761042" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Contact</span></span><br />A transmission has been recieved from the planet, resembling the hallmarks of a space marine force in need of assistance. Greatly confused by this transmission, the grand Tsar of borlina has commisioned a recue force to locate and recover the stricken astartus.<br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">The Campaign</span></span><br />Each game will represent the increasing presence of opposing forces, starting with small reconnaisance excursions, leading up to full scale wars.<br /><br />This is a Map based campaign, with the map divided into hexagonal segments or "Sectors".<br /><br />The aim of the game is to uncover secret objectives on the map, Each Sector has a corresponding envelope detailing any special rules that the segment awards the owning players. these are sealed until a player's force moves onto a new Sector.<br /><br />Some sectors allow the player to modify the game rules, for example, allowing the player to seize the initiative on a 5+ instead of just a 6.<br /><br />The opposing player may decline these modifications, but no map based gains can be gained by this player for winning this game, apart from moving his force onto an already owned sector.<br /><br />Games 1 to 4 will determine players base camps and force locations.<br /><br />Game 5 onwards is the players' choice to arrange games.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Moving around the map</span><br />Every game played gives you a "move" on the map (this is to encourage more gaming, and rewards players who game often, whilst not requiring everyone else to keep up)<br /><br />If you won The game, a "move" allows your force to move 1 segement on the Map and pick up the corresponding envelope.<br /><br />If you lost the game, you may only move onto an already owned sector.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Arranging games</span><br />You may challenge any opponent in the campaign, even if your forces are nowhere near each other. the game must be no larger than 2000 points a side however, representing transportation difficulties.<br /><br />When 2 forces are in adjacent sectors, they may play a game up to 3000 points a side.<br /><br />When 2 forces are on the same sector, an apocalypse game may be played.<br /><br />Note these games can be played with as many players as you like, but total forces on each side must equal the game limits. (so 4 players in a 2000 point game, each player gets 1000points)<br />apocalypse games however, have no limits (obviously)<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Stealing Sectors</span><br />To steal an opponent's sector (and the corresponding bonus) a 500 point combat patrol game must be played (calneage rules) The winner of this game may steal one envelope from his opponent.<br /><br />aternatively you may agree before the game to "wager a sector" effectively betting a sector (or 2) each, with the winner taking them.<br /><br />Making Planetfall and Setting up Base camp<br /><br />before the map is presented, players need to pair up with an opposing commander, the first 4 games are played between these same players.<br /><br /><b><u>Game 1: Fog of War (200pts)</u></b><br /><br /><i>The forces have made planetfall and are performing routine recon operations</i><br /><br />Played as Battle Mission's Kill team scenario. Night fight scenario for entire game. No HQ choices allowed.<br /><br /><b><u>Game 2: Seize Control (200+500pts)</u></b><br /><br /><i>A patrol force has been dispatched to aid the recon team and Seize control of the area to construct a forward command post.</i><br /><br />players take a 500 point "Combat Patrol Force" (no special characters, no vehicles with more than total armour of 33, no 2+ saves, no wounds above 2 except for swarms) FO: 0HQ, 2E, 4T <b>1T mandatory</b>, 2FA, 1HS<br /><br />dawn of war deployment, Seize ground mission (2 objectives) once you have seized the enemy's objective, you gain your kill team force in reserve<br />Winner of Game 1 may deploy 1 unit from the original kill team force within 3" of the objective once it is held, this unit counts as deep striking.<br /><br /><b><u>Game 3: Base Camp (200+500+300)</u></b><br /><br /><i>1st Command has made planet fall and is heading to the unfinished forward command post.</i><br /><br />Players must add 1 HQ to their existing force and make the force up to 1000points in total (i.e they may add/change upgrades to existing units or add more units - units may not be removed)<br /><br />FO: (<b>1HQ mandatory</b>, 3E, 6T <b>1T mandatory</b>, 3FA, 3HS)<br /><br />Scenario: 1 large <u>ruin</u> in the centre of the table (around 12"x12") represents the unfinished comand post. Winner of Game 2 sets up inside the command post excepting the HQ which must start in reserve along with any other reserves. Other player may set up anywhere on the table keeping 18" away from the command post.<br /><br />Player with the most victory points <u>inside</u> the command post at the end of the game wins. units with less than 50% of models inside of the building are counted but have their victroy points halved, as do units who are entirely on the outside of the building but are engaged with a unit which has models inside the building.<br /><br /><br /><b><u>Game 4: First Strike</u></b><br /><br /><i>Having siezed the initiative, the command post brings in fresh troops and forges ahead</i>, clearing the surrounding areas.<br /><br />Winner of Game 3 may choose an entirely new force which uses the standard FO and totals 1500 points.<br />Other player may only add 500 points of <u>new units</u>. this must make the force conform to the standard FO (i.e some players may need to add an extra troops choice)<br /><br />Spearhead deployment (table quarters) Anihilation scenario<br /><br />The winners of game 3 have now set up a base camp on the planet, these are now placed on the campaign map.<br /><br />if a player has won game 3 and 4, their base camp is considered "Safe". enemy forces may not deploy in the segments adjacent to this camp.<br /><br />if a player lost game 3, but won game 4, they may deploy "in combat" with their last opponents base camp.<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Game 5+</span></span><br />These games may be played with any forces of the player's choosing any mission type or deployment is allowed, as long as the points limits<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Spearhead</span><br />Any spearhead game allows the winning players to move 2 spaces on the map.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Apocalypse</span><br />Any Apocalypse game gives the winning players a second "force" on the map, this starts on the same segment as your existing force.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Cityfight</span><br />In a Cityfight game, the losing player must move their force back a sector and lose the bonus for the segment they were last on.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Battle Missions</span><br />If you play an army specific mission as the correct army and win, you gain a strategic asset in future apocalypse games, this must be picked before the next apocalypse game, and will remain the same every apocalypse game.<br />If you win an army specific mission against the corresponding army, you gain preferred enemy against that player's forces in future apocalypse games.<br /><br /><br />Looking forward to hearing some more cool ideas from anyone else. the more fun and fluffy the better.<br /><br />some new models to come on both here and hive splinter borlin, i'll try to get on it tonight.<br /><br />Cheers!<br /><br />TSINITSINIhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09249482653792418566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2871525934980721318.post-29515654117749206612010-08-03T10:27:00.000-07:002010-08-03T19:44:13.220-07:00The Battle of Borlingrav<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_dKzBWK8cqBI/TFimVdLJgvI/AAAAAAAABoM/g84bI25Wkww/s1600/Borlingrav+127.jpg"><br /></a><br /><span style="font-style: italic;"></span><blockquote><span style="font-style: italic;">A dull green hue filled the laboratory, lighting Servo skulls as they busied themselves welding and moving equipment.</span><span style="font-style: italic;"><br /></span><span style="font-style: italic;">"Lord Payne, the device nearss completion" A hunched servitor hissed as he scanned a large screen covered in readouts and displays.</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">"The machine's spirit is tainted" warned a tall cloaked figure silhouetted by yet another large screen.

Being my first ever large game I found it tough keeping a balance between the two sides. on one hand I didn't want it to be a total wipeout for anyone, but conversely I didnt want it to seem like I was favouring any particular side.<br /><br />My initial idea was for the imperial lines to attempt to stand fast against an unending horde of evil forces, overpowering numbers and enormeous war machines. unfortunately I didnt do a very good job of explaining this to some of the players who seemed to be annoyed (understandably) when the enemy models would just re-appear after they were killed. although In my defence, I wanted to see some terror in the imperial players' eyes, to make them less comfortable in their defensive lines.<br /><br />Lessons learnt and with many players not able to make it the second day, and new players joining, we decided a slight change of scenario was in order to ensure a more enjoyable game for both sides.<br /><br />The board was re-arranged slightly, moving the palace to the centre of the board, bulding a close quarters city scape to the right, and keeping the emplacement on the hill to the left.<br /><br />My task was to stalk the city ruins and flush out the TAU flanking forces.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_dKzBWK8cqBI/TFhz1U-G9hI/AAAAAAAABkM/Kx5hS3CuM1s/s1600/Borlingrav+128.jpg"><img style="display: block;

font-weight: bold;">"I came here to see big stuff blow holes in things, and I wasn't dissapointed"</span> - John P after the first day.<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">"I know the rules better than you so I can command you about"</span></span> - Dan (one of the younger lads) telling Tom (Another young lad) how it works in 40k... ;)<br /></blockquote><br /><br /><br />Cheers for dropping by<br /><br /><br />TSINITSINIhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09249482653792418566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2871525934980721318.post-71329876420781234682010-07-28T08:33:00.000-07:002010-07-28T09:03:24.168-07:00Time for an unfeasably large Chainsaw!!I I thought I'd just share with you my latest model - ready for the upcoming<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Lord Inquisitor Payne</span><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_dKzBWK8cqBI/TFBQJr4j0hI/AAAAAAAABVc/xBQsZqYYFjQ/s1600/l88+009.jpg"><img style="display: block;

I do need some inspiration for this vehicle mind.<br /><br /><ol><li>Colour scheme - I was going to paint this grey, to match the lucky 88th vehicles. but i've added a commissar to the top hatch, it's difficult to see but the driver just has his head exposed from the right hand hatch, and the commissar is weilding his sword from the left hatch. The lucky 88th are full of commissars, they are everywhere, so to take the "commissar crew" option was a no-brainer. it's just that you are supposed to paint commissar vehicles black, and i abhor the idea of leaving this tank an undercoated black. it just looks tacky and horrible, even with skull decoration and such. so my conunderum, do i paint it grey, possibly with black sections marked with the commissariat skulls, or do i try painting it black...</li><li>Naming the beast - what the hell do I call this vehicle? I originally had not planned to include a baneblade - therefore had only come up with names for the superheavies I did plan to buy. they were:</li></ol><ul><li>Winter's Sword - Shadowsword.</li><li>Reigning Fire - Stormblade.</li><li>Bastion of Borlingrav - Malcador Defender.</li><li>The Alamo - Stormlord.</li><li>"Razor +" - Macharius Vulcaniun.</li></ul> So I could steal one of these names for the baneblade, or come up with something along similar lines. I was thinking of something along the lines of "injustice" or "redemption" "salvation" "deliverance" (daninang neng nang neng nang neng nang) "liberator"<br /><br />these are all along the right lines<br /><br /> 3. Modifications - One thing thats present in all of my vehicles is a slight modification. whether it's simply bolting on forgeworld parts, or building a little extra onto it. the aim of this army is to be interesting to look at. little extras that you can find on every model which make them individual. the only thing i've managed to do with the baneblade is slightly angle the antennae back. i want to do something more impressive. possbily a giant dozerblade or something of that sort. it just looks "out of the box" at the moment. i'm also considering stealing the Speaker system from my executioner and giving it to the baneblade. whilst this will take away some individuality from my executioner, it will definately give the commissar a nice loudhaler to shout his imperial doctrine from!<br /><br />Any help at all with these points will be much appreciated!<br /><br />_________________________________________________________________<br /><br />This is what i've been working on the past few months:<br /><br />Inquisitor Payne and Retinue<br /><br />bear in mind I haven't read any 40k inquisition codex, I am simply building these in pure fluff'o'vision I'll most likely make an Apocalypse formation / Datasheet combo which incorporates everything as a special unit.<br /><br />The Servo Skulls:<br /><br />This servitor from the Inquisitor Soloman Loq model was a little bugger to get together, and ended in me snapping the supporting scroll, but as you can see he's together and looking studious!<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_dKzBWK8cqBI/S_GFahwUhEI/AAAAAAAABD8/M3PKtt1h_-0/s1600/inquisition+001.jpg"><img style="display: block;

This is going to be a different project for me, stripping the models will be an all out experiment, then trying to bring all my old tanks into a decent state will be interesting, hopefully the stripping will do most of the work for me. But I am looking forwards to nearly doubling my forces with these guys, it'll mean i have (at a guess) around 5000 points of imperial guard - without any big expensive stuff either.</li></ul><ul><li>A small space marine detachment. with all the rumours of the storm raven flitting about, I'm actually quite excited to get a small space marine force. think what you could put together with just 2 Assault on Black reach boxsets and 2 storm ravens... I'm actually planning to pick up my Dragon Marines idea i had a while back but i've never had the funds for it, though this isn't going to change, i've hit that bit where if i want to buy anything more for my guard it'll be big and expensive (more forgeworld and superheavies etc), so for cheaper alternatives i need to turn to smaller armies and wait until i have funds for bigger things. I also have an old Space wolf army (landraider, predator, 2 rhinos, 10 greyhunters, 10 bloodclaws, a few special characters) which i'm going to strip down and re-do as the dragon marines. add these to the AoBR box sets and 2 stormravens and thats actually quite a big force. using the blood angels codex to get the stormraven, unless the rumoured grey knights codex has any rules which will be easily changed to lizardy stylings.</li></ul>Anywhoo, i'll catch you guys soon, hopefully with some painted models to show off.<br /><br />Cheers.
