Man O' War Battle Report (Dark Elves Vs Empire)

Nick speaking,

In this game of Man O' War, I take my buddies Dark Elf fleet up against Empire. This is usually the fleet I play when we get the boats out, it has some fun rules and the Black Ark can be a bit of a beast to take down! My buddy bought this game well before I was even gaming, it's really great fun though and we plan on playing it more...

The Year of the Wolf (7)

Nick speaking,

Really starting to get there with the second unit of 13th Company Wolves. That's the freehand Shoulder Pads and Power Weapon effects done, plus the eyes, gems and bases. Now to highlight the grey and black so that I can weather them...

How to Paint Pink

Nick speaking,

I recently had a few requests for a tutorial on how I paint my Emperors Children pink on my 13th Company Space Wolves. So as requested here is a little video of me showing how I go about it. I hope it's useful to someone...

Judge Dredd Desperado Showcase

Nick speaking,

I had fun painting this Cursed Earth Desperado Judge Dredd mini. I think I will use him as a Chaos Cultist. He seems to fit in quite well as one and I don't play Judge Dredd anyway. I really enjoyed painting him and adding the tattoo to the mini. I hope you like him...

Making Up Your Own Terrain Rules!

Nick speaking,

My Necron Power Station Generators are made from four Incredible toys that I got from McDonald's about ten years ago! My original plan for them, before I put them onto this piece of terrain, was to use them individually on the table with some special rules taken from the back of the old old Necron Codex...

It's great to see Games Workshop upping the rule set on terrain recently, and this got me thinking about a long time idea I have had. Some sort of terrain that lets you teleport from one side of the board to the other! Now, as I magnetised the Generators to the Power Station, I thought these would be ideal to use as teleportation devices.

My original idea was to have two of these on the table, and anyone who goes next to one can teleport out of the second one the next turn, But what about if I put a points value on them and make them usable to my Necrons only? They could have the Deep Strike special rule, where you deploy one with your army, and the second one goes in reserve!

Obviously, you will need to get your gaming buddies to agree to this, and maybe help you set the points value for the terrain. I am thinking that one hundred points would be about right for mine, but what do you think? Any feedback and ideas welcome.

Painting Something Different - Judge Dredd!

Nick speaking,

Don't worry, I am not dropping 40k or considering another gaming system! I am just having a bit of fun painting up a single Judge Dredd mini for a painting competition. I had a good look around, and not wanting to spend to much managed to find a Cursed Earth Desperado miniature on eBay going cheap. He looks fun to paint and is certainly something different from my normal miniatures.

   

I plan on using the artwork above for his general colour scheme. I am considering giving him a tribal tattoo from his chest to his left arm as well, just to add a little twist to the miniature. Really looking forward to painting him now!

Nick speaking,

Next game with my randomly generated Necron list, and this time it was at two thousand points and against my long lost enemy, Orks! I was really happy to see my buddy with his Orks out again, I always enjoy seeing them on the table and it's always great to play against a non Marine army!

Bingo Necrons Battle Report Vs Space Marines

Nick speaking,

Back to the Bingo Crons, and it's time for my first game with my randomly generated list. I was playing against my sons Space Marines and had to drop the points level down to seventeen fifty by removing the last two units to be drawn out, but this was going to be fun...
