I've not played a game with them yet and want to more focus on the Tale of Malifaux Bloggers crew that I'm working on (post incoming over next couple of days.)<br />
<br />
Almost finished Rasputina and her ice constructs just a couple of touch-ups here and there but I'm realtively happy with these.<br />
<br />
Hope you all like!<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So here’s the secret project that I’m going to be running
this year. I’m going to be taking part in a “Tale of” series for a brand new
game I’m jumping into Malifaux! I used to love as a kid reading the Tale of
Gamers series in the old White Dwarfs, reading about the team slowly but surely
building and buying their armies month by month and watching them grow was a
really good way of keeping your spending down while also making a fully
playable army in due course.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Now I’m completely new to Malifaux and towards the end of
the year I was getting an itch to play it. The game is rather cheap to get
into, the crews are slowly getting some stunning looking plastic crews and best
of all for me there’s no dice involved so I can’t be failing on dice-rolling that
much! The game uses a normal deck of cards including two jokers. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’ve already got the
rulebook and expansion book and bought the Children of December plastic crew
box with the Rasputina master. I’ve never played a game with her and more
wanted her to paint up which I’ve almost finished. I think with this ToMB2
it’ll be the ideal to learn the game with a small crew to start off with and
then build upwards from there as I get confident. Being a complete newbie I’ll
also be able to give my thoughts on the rules as well as revealing what I’ve
been learning as I play more games. It may sound ambitious but my main goal for
this year is to go to a Malifaux tournament towards the end of the year with my
new crew and feel confident enough with the rules that I should be able to play
without having to worry too much.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So what are the rules of this then? Well it’s going to be
ran by Ben at the Malibros Blog, everyone starts with £40 in month one to buy
their crew box set and then £15 every subsequent month to build up your crew,
obviously if you want to save some left over money from month to month to
purchase more than your monthly allowance then that’s fine. At the end of every
month you need to have your minis purchased that month built and painted or
face a forfeit, and you’ve got to show your progress throughout (games,
tactics, painting, etc). It’ll run initially for four months but if there’s
enough interest it’ll be extended to six months.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So now the important bit….Which crew will I pick?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Well being completely new to this I’ve got a plethora of
choice, as mentioned the new plastic crews feature some stunning models and my
weak wargamer self has switched between so many different ones in the last week
trying to find the right one. Here are the options I’m toying between; I’ve
given my initial impressions of each master from reading the books. If I’ve got
anything wrong about them apologies!</div>

We all know bad stuff happens when you open Pandora’s box and
no that isn’t a euphemism.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She controls
the enemy and manipulates them rather than going out and out damage dealer. In
her crew box you get the two creepiest models to find in a skirmish game, Candy
and Baby Kade. These two models easily optimise the vast styles of factions
that are available in Malifaux. You also get the rather impressive looking Poltergeist
and three Sorrows to fill out the crew. Seven models to start isn’t too bad.
The lure of getting the much loved Teddy model included in the crew is
definitely a pull for this crew but for a complete newbie to the game I think
all of Pandora’s tricks and skills might be a little overwhelming to learn
with.</div>

How much cooler can you get than a master that’s a mix of
Jack the Ripper and The Mad Hatter and is backed up by Zombie Hookers and a
copycat midget? It looks like Sheamus has one of the most deadly ranged weapons
in the game managing to cause 8 damage on a severe damage flip before
disappearing the other side of the table as long as he’s out of sight. The fact
his Rotten Belles can use a skill called Lure to move an opponent’s model
towards them so Sheamus doesn’t even need to get up close and in harm’s way is
an awesome skill to have. I could see a lot of synergy with this crew and not
many skills/rules to learn the game with; but until the additions in month two
the first month I can see the crew being very one dimensional. It’s a
possibility and I know for a fact if I don’t do Sheamus for #ToMB2 I’ll be
picking him up in the future. </div>

The Latigo Posse, a very much ranged based crew to start
with but with Perdita meaning to be very forgiving for new players to learn. I
love the mix of Mexican and Cowboy attire and this box features my personal
favourite model in Nino, who seems to be carrying a gatling gun but sets up as
a sniper anywhere on the table! The rest of the family is just as potent and
have little clever skills to utilise with each other. A lot of synergy possible
with this crew and I think I’d be much more comfortable learning the game with
ranged guys first before having a predominantly focussed melee army.</div>

Another ranged themed crew full of mercenaries of the Freikorps.
Von Schill himself is pretty adapt at both ranged and melee combat, he has
decent movement and buffs his surrounding Freikorps with the <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">A Legend to Live Up To </b>ability.
Included in the box are two normal Freikorpsmann troops, a Freikorps Librarian
who is tasked at healing his comrades in battle, a Freikorps Trapper who is a
traditional sniper model and finally my favourite model in the box set the
Freikorps Specialist who wields a big beefy flamethrower! Like the Perdita crew
box, this is more of a ranged box set and has potential additions in the
following months of either ranged or melee focussed mercenaries. Compared to
the other crews though the Freikorps are not really the most interesting models
in the game. When you compare all the weird and wonderful creations for the
Arcanists, Ressurectionists and the like; having normal mercenary troops seems
a bit meh.</div>

I finally made it down the club for the first time in ages
in the New Year, December saw me have plans every single weekend so it was a no-go.
I played Jim again at 1,000pts of Bolt Action. I used my tried and tested
Soviet list and Jim ran his Brits. We played Point Defence and like normal I
was defending (every time we’ve played this mission I’ve played defender and
HATE preliminary bombardments!). I used my two Zis-3 guns to defend either
corner of the board; the best thing about these is while they’re medium AT guns
they can also be utilised as light howitzers so are effective on both armour
and infantry. I packed two objectives filled with troops and left my T34, another
squad and some of the team weapons to come on in reserve.</div>

Jim’s Sherman entered the battle and immediately took out
one of the Zis-3s looking across the board from him. Thankfully though I
retaliated with the T34 and managed to immobilise and then destroy the vehicle.
Jim had a SAS truck that he had been banging on about all week filled with a
huge SAS squad. Unfortunately for him he outflanked onto the road on the left,
the truck was blown up and pinned the squad in position and my flamethrower
team came on the same edge and burnt the poor Brit specialists into a crisp. </div>

My Green squad was dug into some rocks on the left hand side
and stayed there all game holding the objective. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For a free inexperienced squad they have been
my MVP every game I’ve played with them. They’re expendable men who seem to
refuse to die no matter how many shots they take, and for inexperienced guys
they’re shooting is pretty top notch. For once my dice rolls for everything
were coming up trumps; even my mortar was ranging in quickly and wiping squads
out left, right and centre.</div>

As Jim was using his force to try and get the two objectives
I was defending, I ran my third squad onto the non-defended objective and kept
them in cover to hold all three objectives without much threat. By turn 6 we
rolled and there would be no turn 7, to be fair I think Jim’s minimal remaining
men wouldn’t have made it across the table anyway. Was a well fought match and
pleased I picked up the victory. Will have to try a different Soviet list at
some point and maybe pick up some different models, really wanting to try the
Soviet Engineer Squad with Body armour, can only be killed on a 6+ and veterans
with a flamethrower…yes please!</div>

So what else have I done in the past three months? Well The
End Times has kicked in full swing in the Warhammer world and for some reason
the idea of a Chaos Legions army really sounded like a good idea, finding a
decent deal on Wargaming Trading page on Facebook I found myself with quite a
rather large collection of unmade current edition Chaos and Beastmen figures!</div>

I don’t have a clue what came over me, most of the models
are still unbuilt, I did make an attempt of a Beastmen BSB and Beastlord and the unit of Chaos Warriors I built and started to
paint as Khorne Warriors I’ve been a little underwhelmed with. I know Chaos Warrior
armies can be low numbers and really competitive but I’m honestly not sure
whether I can see myself to build, paint and play another Fantasy army at the
moment. I’ve got so many Beastmen models to build it’s a daunting task, I’ve
gone from one horde army of the Vampire Counts to another Horde army of
Beastmen. I think realistically thinking I’ll probably resell all of this and
hopefully someone else will have more luck than I did!</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
One of my resolutions for 2015 is not to impulse buy, last
year I had a rather bad habit of jumping from army to army, something which I
think a lot of wargamers do, but I’d buy enough for way over the normal points
limit and then struggle to complete it and sell it on. This year I want to make
a concentrated effort on the armies I own and get them finished and fully
painted/based.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The armies are as followed;</div>

<h3 class="MsoNormal">
Warhammer Fantasy</h3>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><u>Ogre Kingdoms –</u></i> Finish painting my first Fantasy army when I
got back into the army. I’d say I’m about 75% of the way through this army but
still need to paint a few of the bigger things. I do have an unbuilt
Thundertusk which needs building at some point too.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><u>Vampire Counts –</u></i> As mentioned I’ve made a good start but
still have a lot to do for these. Obviously being a horde-style army each unit
is 40 strong so it’s a big task for each unit. Though if they’re as simple as
the Zombies to paint, I feel I could get through the army quite quickly.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><u>Empire -</u></i> I’m not too sure what to do with my Empire. I’ve
got a pretty big force built and mainly primed but whenever I pick them up I
cannot for the life of me get motivated to paint them up. It also doesn’t help
whenever I play them on the table they’re boring to play. It may well be the
case that I sell these rather than trying to paint them up.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<h3 class="MsoNormal">
Bolt Action</h3>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><u>German Waffen SS –</u></i> This was a Christmas present and spent
the Christmas week building it all. Now with the weather being it’s normal
British weather I’m finding it pretty hard to get anything primed. I unfortunately
don’t have a garage or anything so have to go outside in the shed so I really
need a decent mild temperature. As mentioned in Part 1 this is more of a
modelling and painting project so I’m not too fussed if this takes me longer to
get these painted and sorted.</div>

<i><u>Necrons –</u></i> I’ve got about 90% of everything painted. I’ve got
one unit primed and halfway painted and then a couple of units still to build.
I’ve not really played much 40K recently so it’s not a major rush to get these
finished but with the new Necron Codex coming out I’d like to get these
finished so I can properly learn 40K in the near-distant future.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><u>Space Marines –</u></i> This was actually meant to be my winter
project and wanted to get everything built and primed over the Christmas
period. That obviously didn’t happen with so many other things happening! I
really want to make a effort to get these done as they’re going to be pretty simple
to paint and build. I know I’ve got a weekend in March where the fiancé is
going away with work friends all weekend so I might very well just spend the
whole weekend building and priming it all.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><u>PanO –</u></i> Everything is primed and I just need to paint the
Military Orders up. Unfortunately not many people are playing the game at the
club and that’s after the Version 3 rules which came out recently. These shouldn’t
take too long to get done so I might just need a weekend or two to focus and
get them done.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><u>Morats –</u></i> Again these are all primed and half painted but
need finishing off. I think my motivation for them have really died down now no
one plays at the club but I think I need to make a focused pledge soon to get
them done and relearn Infinity. But it’s not a major rush to get them done at
the moment.</div>

So yeah quite a few projects, and I’ve also got one bigger
one that I’ll be mentioning in a blog post this week. Something that I’m
looking forward to being a part of and it’s for a brand new system that I’ve
not learnt yet. It’ll probably get me visiting a couple of different North East
clubs to play the game but I’m already really looking forward to jumping into
this and learning to play it. </div>

A very Happy New Year! Can't believe it's been October the last time I
posted an update in here. Though to be fair the past three months has been
crazily busy. Work went mental for the Christmas period, I went on holiday to
Paris, I got engaged over Christmas. And we're in the process of selling the
house to move onto a bigger place. Yeah pretty busy end to 2014!<br />
<br />
Hobby-wise though it's been hit and miss. For Christmas my fiance (still
feels wierd saying it), got me a brand new German Waffen SS army for Bolt
Action. I added to the box set and picked up some Artizan Design winter
Germans. My aim for this army is to create a Battle of the Bulge Winter themed
army, a bit like my failed Flames of War army. I want to create woodland style
basing for these including a MMG lying up against dead cattle and the
Nebelwerfer to be based in a bunker with trees on the back. This is more going
to be a painting and modelling army first with the aim of playing with these
second. I want to take my time on the camo patterns and basing rather than
rushing them through like my Russians and Japanese just to get them tabletop
ready.<br />

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">The Vampire Counts have been progressing nicely but have stalled over
the Christmas period. I’ve got the base for the Terrorgheist done and I’m so
pleased with it. The 40 Zombies we’re actually pretty simple to do. With the
basecoat spray of the Army Painter Necrotic Flesh it was a case of giving the
skin a wash of green, adding some different colours for the pieces of clothing
and then adding Blood for the Blood God to the mouths and hands. Basing was
also pretty simple and overall the 40 Zombies in one movement tray look pretty
impressive.</span></div>

(what is it with Winter themed armies that I like?) I thought the best bet for
the wings was to do it in an icy blue/green colour and then have a warm bone
colour for the skeleton to offset the colours. It’s still a work in progress
but I’m happy with how it’s looking at the moment. I’m really pleased with my
Vampire Lord conversion though. He was a finecast Empire Warrior Priest who I
got as a double for Christmas last year, quick snip of the head and a ghoul
head and a new sword arm makes him a unique looking Vampire Lord. Still need to
base him but overall really pleased with how he came out.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">I did get one game of Fantasy in with the Vampire Counts at a new
wargame shop in Ashington called War and Piece. I faced off against Jim’s High
Elves but unfortunately lost. The Vampire Lord on foot was an absolute beast
though and chopped through a whole unit of horses including the BSB and High
Elf Lord. Though my deployment failed me again, as my Ghouls were almost cut
off due to the houses in the middle and took a turn too much to get into the
battle. I think with it being so long since my last Fantasy game it was a bit
of rust. </span></div>

I was to try and get the majority all built in the next few weeks and then hopefully have decent weather to prime as much of it as I can so I can spend the winter months painting it all up.<br />
<br />
I've had a box of 40 Mantic Zombies sitting in my wardrobe for about three months now. I know raising the dead is one of the bigger things for Vampire Count armys and I wanted to make sure I've got enough zombies for my army list as well as raiseables. I've already got about 30 GW Zombies so they're going to form the front of my army and then the Mantic Zombies will be backing up the ranks. I've got to admit there is a great amount of poses from the three different legs and bodies you get in the box set. Adding some Renedra gravestones to the odd ones also breaks up the full unit and gives them some character.<br />
<br />
Sitting down on Friday night I started working....<br />

So yeah it's pretty impressive seeing the 40 strong shambling horde all done. To speed up the process of painting these I've got some Army Painter Necrotic Flesh primer which will give me a basecoat of a rotting skin looking colour. I'm not sure how I'm going to be colouring them afterwards. I've got an idea of using numerous different washes over the skin colour to give the Zombies a range of rotting skin colours. Though part of me is thinking about giving the skin a Athonian Camoshade wash to give it that dark green rotting colour and then differentiate the Zombies with different colours trousers and wraps. If I do a test on five or so models then I can decide which will be the best to do. The others that don't cut it can easily be used as raiseables because lets be honest they'll soon be taken off the battlefield anyway!<br />

I've also made a start on my Terrorgheist. I wasn't that impressed with the huge base it comes with and the piddly amount of scenic rocks that the Terrorgheist was mounted on in the stock version of the model. I've seen a couple of different ways people have modelled the dragon using the Garden of Morr set and I wanted to incorporate that into the base. My initial idea was to have two different crypts from the set and have the Terrorghiest crawling on top of them. I got the look ok but the height of the model was ridiculous and even the large box I've got to carry my VC around in was too shallow for this.<br />
<br />
I've decided to change it around a bit instead and have just one building at the front. The aim to have the Terrorgheist climbing up it and I've got a pose I'm happy with. I've not glued down the model yet though as I want to paint the base and the Terrorgheist separately as I can see it being a complete ball-ache to do them at the same time. I added some extra gravestones and one of the wall pieces to the base too, I think having these extra little bits will really make the Terrorgheist the centre piece of the army. Let's just hope I can do the painting justice!<br />

Time to be completely honest. I've never painted scenery before so having this big piece on the base of the Terrorgheist was a daunting project. I had an idea of what I wanted it to look like but didn't have a clue whether it would look right with my painting. Having sprayed the base black I then used the GW Large Drybrush to do a heavy coat of Mechanicus Standard Grey and then when that dried highlighted the edges with another lighter drybrush of Administratum Grey. The stonework and the buildings really came out looking exactly like what I wanted so I'm relieved/pleased that it worked ok! I've drybrushed the ground Rhinox Hide, my aim for the whole army is to have a muddy winter basing theme with army painter flowers scattered around to really give it a contrast of life against the death of the VC. For the Terrorgheist I'm going to highlight the ground with a lighter brown and then add some dead grass tufts, scatter snow across certain areas and ontop of the gravestones/walls and then also have the flowers scattered around on the base. I need to detail some bits on the building, for example the skulls and roof top spikes.<br />

It's nice to just take my time on painting and actually enjoy what I'm painting. Don't get me wrong the Japanese were great to paint but being against the clock and having to have them done by the tournament really took out some of the enjoyment in the project. Thankfully with the Vampire Counts I can take my time and really enjoy what I'm doing. There's so many ideas I have for them I just hope I can do it justice!Chalmershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02596161025223047837noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4016278676150842724.post-71986482497714286862014-10-13T10:50:00.003+01:002014-10-13T10:51:03.161+01:00Bolt Action Welsh Open Japanese ListI've been asked by a few people what my list for the Bolt Action Welsh Open tournament was last weekend.

My journey began at 1pm on Friday, leaving Newcastle with a holdall packed with clothes, supplies and a fully painted army I began the road trip down to Bristol to my parents for the evening. What should've been a straight forward 5-hour drive soon became a hellish 6 and a half hour drive with numerous accidents and roadworks on the road determined to slow me down! So finally rocking in at 7.30pm at night I was greeted the best way with the puppy going absolutely crazy and then being told we're off out for tea to the local pub, result!<br />

Anyway the next morning at a dully and rainy 6am I was up and onwards to Bristol Temple Meads train station for the early morning train to Cardiff Central station. Muggins here hadn't packed a jacket at all and the rain was in full flow. Thankfully when I arrived in Cardiff I managed to check into the Marriot at 9am rather than the advertised 3pm check-in time. Granted they only had 2 rooms spare and they were both next to the elevator but they were apart of the Executive Suite so I wasn't complaining one bit!<br />

I then made my way onto Firestorm where I was greeted by a shop lined with every game system you could imagine. Warhammer Fantasy and 40K, Flames of War, Infinity, Warmachine, Bolt Action, Avatars of War, Perry Minatures, X-Wing, Magic, you name it they had it. I could've easily spent into the hundreds that weekend but somehow I left the weekend having spent absolutely nothing....what was wrong with me?<br />
<br />
Venturing to the back of the shop was the gaming area, I instantly walked into a huge hall that was filled with amazing gaming tables, I've never seen so many tables in one place. Cardiff really is lucky to have this place bang in the city centre for all wargamers to use. I know if I lived down there, hell if I lived back in Bristol still, I'd be down there so frequently. The Welsh Open was held down the back where some of the lads were already forming. The tables were already set up and they looked absolutely amazing, props to all the guys who had helped making the tables as they had done a bang up job. They were all completely different and had their own unqiueness, there was one desert table which looked a little dissapointing compared to the others but overall they absolutely rocked.<br />

Tea and coffee was supplied free of charge, being the tea-a-holic I am I definitely took this offer up, but then noticed the full blown bar at the back of the club. It didn't take long on the Saturday before the Budweiser took over the tea drinking, I think you can guess where my results were going when I was drinking at 11am in the morning....<br />
<br />
We had a ice-breaker doubles armoured platoon game. Everyone randomly joined together with 2 Axis and 2 Allies players on either side and basically played you had to get your units off the opposite ground. I joined up with H from Southampton Strike Force with his Germans, Bob Emmerson yes the guy from Mad Bob Minatures with his French and a chap named Chris who had just moved across from Australia. As we all knew Japanese tanks are not a thing, you look at them and they normally blow up. Well not really this time! We basically turned this into a Maximum Attrition game and had a good laugh, me and H agreed on the parking lot technique basically boxing in the opponents units so they couldn't get off the board. Though they did get one unit off the board and won by 1 point. Oh and my mission for the weekend of blowing up a tank with a Suicide Tank guy was already achieved as I managed it in the very last turn! It was a good ice-breaker for everyone though having to get some extra Japanese tanks which I'll probably never use again was a bit of a pain.<br />
<br />
First pairing for the tourne was up and I had Ian one of the other Southampton lads and his US Marines in Maximum Attrition on the absolutely amazing Pacific board. This was a list with 3, yes 3, flamethrowers! Oh and they were outflanking. Ian also had a Artillery Observer and Air Observer. The Air absolutely obliterated my right hand side especially being called in twice while the flamethrowers toasted my left hand side. Despite being destroyed I had a great time, my dice were awful, rolling 1s to hit and 6s for morale. It left Ian laughing when I rolled 8 dice needing 3s to hit and rolled 6 x 1s and 2 x 2s.... So yeah not the greatest start but it was the start of a reoccuring theme for the weekend. <b>Total Tournament Points - 0</b><br />

Second game, after an amazing cooked meal of Chicken Curry and Rice from the cafe next door (included in the ticket price), was on the city board against Geoff and his British Paras on Demolition. I hated this list, it had so many quick jeeps and recce jeeps I just couldn't hit anything without it reversing out of the way. My two sniper teams had a snipe off with his team but failed to take it off the board before both teams were wiped out by the combined efforts of the Artillery observer and sniper team! I was trying to hold out for a draw until all of his outflanking units came in on the right, wiped out the squad defending the objective and then proceded to blow up the objective. Again it was a great game but all of those jeeps were frustrating to play against. It didn't help my one outflanking Vet squad lost their NCO to a precision shot from the Artillery Observers pistol, 6 to hit, 6 to Kill, 6 for Exceptional Damage on the NCO. You know when dice are coming up like that against you there is no chance! <b>Total Tournament Points - 0</b><br />

This is where the day should've finished<b> </b>however we found out a week before that the Cardiff half-marathon was taking place on the Sunday closing down alot of the roads in and out of the city. We all voted and decided to stay late on the Saturday for one more game and was drawn against Brian an American who lives in Ireland and came over with a couple of other lads early doors on the Saturday morning. He brought his Soviet Horde in a Hold Until Relieved mission where I had to hold a bridge for the game. This was another brutal game with Brian's Assault Engineer Squad flaming all the way up the board. Having the Body Armour meaning they were 6s to kill also helped as they stormed up flaming one squad, then another, then my sniper. Adding insult to injury the building caught fire and burnt down my officer who was barking orders from the back room to the surrounding areas! A couple of assaults and concentrated fire later and the remaining infantry squads were down and Brian was free to move his Soviets up to take the bridge. I did win one assault though so I won a tournament point for that! WOOOOO! Brian was a great opponent who like me was drinking most of the day, so we took it in turns throughout the game to buy the next round. Always good to play some Wargames while having a couple of beers at the same time. <b>Total Tournament Points - 1</b><br />

Saturday evening saw us leaving Firestorm at about 9pm. Thankfully we could leave our armies and that there for the night so we didn't have the faff of carrying everything back to the hotel and back again. Brian, Tony and Ulick the Irish lads invited me out for the night so a quick trip to the hotel, shower and change I was back out for 10pm in a very vibrant nightlife of Cardiff looking for food, despite numerous attempts of restuarants that were just closing the glowing lights of the golden archers of McDonalds beckoned us in, before we found a pub for a couple of pints and good chat about football and wargames before we all went out separate ways to get some much needed sleep. Cheers to all three for adopting me for the night they're all great crack and if it wasn't for them I'd of spent the night in the hotel on my own probably going to bed pretty early.<br />
<br />
Day 2, I was pretty confident I was sitting at the bottom of the table, one measily tournament point from three games and a hell of a lot of units lost in those battles. But this was my first tournament, I had previously had exactly three turns worth of gaming with this list and yet I was loving every single minute of it. After a quick redenvouz and one missing person from the day before we had to do a quick rejig. One minute I was about to play Japanese vs Germans then we got mixed with three allied players, Ian, Brian and Geoff so I'd already played them. <br />
<br />
Finally one final rejig and I was set and sorted on one of the desert
boards, this one was littered with buildings and was again Hold Until
Relieved. Ben, another member of the Southampton Strike Force with his British Paras list was my opponent and I was sure I could muster up some sort of performance as this list had no jeeps, woop! However it did have a metric shit load of Bren carriers all with LMGs and Machine Guns which came on with their squads and then proceeded to shoot the crap out of squads. I had one full squad of Vets sat in a building holding the objective, my plan was to keep them their and just hold the objective. That was until they FUBARd a order test and proceeded to run out of the building and towards my table edge basically giving the British an opening to take the objective. I tried one final dash with a squad of regulars and my officer in the last turn to try and contest but they were shot up and assaulted for their efforts. My final last act of the tournament and game was to charge a Stuart head on with a Suicide guy, he doddged all the MMGs from the Stuart, detonated and I rolled a 6! Two dice on the penetrating damage table, 1 and 3....yup that sums up my tournament in a heartbeat. Especially as Ben made the morale check to put out the fire. Another game nil points as they say and a final standing at <b>FINAL TOURNAMENT POINTS - 1. UNITS LOST OVERALL - 47 out of 56.</b><br />

So imagine my surprise when I didn't come last! There was a great amount of prize support. Walord, 4Ground and Bob had supplied loads of prizes and Bob had also create some custom Bolt Action Welsh Open 2014 Objetive markers that everyone got for participating. It was a prize select where the player called up could select anything, I was the very last person to win a prize and ended up with one of the 4Ground Ruins which I will definitely be using in the near future!<br />
<br />
<br />
Overall it was an amazing weekend which was well organised throughout with a great group of people at one amazing venue. A big thanks to all my opponents, to the organisers and everyone else who was welcoming and friendly throughout. I wish I could attend next year but it falls on the one weekend where I'm best man for my best mates wedding on the Saturday and have another wedding on the Sunday for another close friend. Maybe 2016? Who knows, by then I might actually win a game!<br />

I'm going to be covering the event in another blog post in the next
couple of days so this is the build up to the Welsh Open.<br />
<br />
As
you can tell from the lack of updates, work and life has kept me busy
the last month or so but I've had some good time to do some hobby and
get the Japanese battle ready for the Welsh Open. I had organised a
1,000pt game with my Tournament list against Jim the week before the
event however we only got to Turn 3 before we had to call it due to
time.<br />
<br />
I also took my Soviets out for a League game
against league leader Dom and his Italians, we played Maximum Attrition
and while it was very close I came up just short mainly due to his Recce
armoured car which seemed to dodge everything in sight. Though the
car's shooting was pretty poor failing every turn to take out the
Zis-3's crew which was pinning down the left side of the table. I was
lucky though because he decided against his flamethrower car which has
been the thorn in many people's side.<br />
<br />
Thankfully
I've only got 3 games left of 500pts which I'll be looking to get done
next weekend hopefully, don't get me wrong 500pts is ok for beginners to
get into the game but it does limit what you can do and playing on a 4 x
4 table isn't the greatest. Bolt Action is really alot better at larger
points and I'm counting down the days until the League hits 750pts and
we can use armour. I'm not sure whether to use the Soviets or Japanese
for 750pts, I might mix between the two. I was wanting to do a German
army at some point but having attempted to assemble the Plastic Late War
Germans with all the loose weapons my interest has wained a little bit.
I'll probably do them as my next army but I'm going to probably look at
doing a fully metal army, maybe using a mix of the Waffen SS Box Set,
Fallschirmjager Box Set and some models from Artizan Design. Don't
expect anything until Christmas at the earliest!<br />
<br />
So yeah
some images from the league game and 1,000pt game against Jim. I can't
really remember what happened in either as it was so long ago so I'll
just get these up and then crack on with the Welsh Open post.<br />

We decided to keep it at 500pts for his first game on a 4 x 4 board and for ease of playing we played Maximum Attrition, it's my least favourite scenario in the Rulebook but when you're just starting out it's easier to just aim to kill the opponent while learning the rules than worrying about objectives and the such.<br />
<br />
I ran a 500pt Veteran List, a first for my Soviets and Mort ran a mix of Vets, Regulars and Inexperienced (Heavy Mortar) including a nasty horde of Veteran Japanese Infantry that proved to do any significant damage to. As already mentioned I was easily wiped off the table, Mort used Smoke really well to block my Sniper hiding in a centralised building and then used his Sniper to take him out in one shot.<br />
<br />
His Sniper continued to pick off units including my Lieutenant and Medium Mortar. Funnily enough my MVP unit was my free rifle squad who seemed to shrug off any incoming fire and even wiped a squad of Regular infantry too. At the end of the game they were the only Soviets left on the table and seemed to be the only thing that wanted to kill stuff. My two Vet squads both assaulted the large vet squad and failed miserably and were wiped. After that it was down to the teams and the free squad and I knew that I wasn't going to get anywhere with that.<br />
<br />
Here's some pics I managed to get, I need to remember to get more pictures in the future of my games;<br />

Has it really been over a month since I've updated? Time flies and all that.
In the past month I've been to Leeds Festival, been to one of my best mates
Weddings, been to Southampton for a couple of days for work, got a new kitten
and generally been one busy man.<br />
<br />
So hobby time has been at a premium recently, I've been a bit realistic and
started selling off stalled projects. The Tyranids have gone, they weren't
getting the attention they needed and I'd rather someone else have them and get
them sorted. It does mean that my planned Space Marine project has been bumped
forwards and I've now got everything I need for my army;<br />

As you can see I'm going to be painting them purple and gold. I didn't
realise these were the colours of the Emperors Children, I saw the colour
scheme in the Space Marines Codex under one of the Ultramarines sub-chapters
called the Hawk Lords. I'm going to be doing a bit of a Hawk Lord/custom
chapter using either the Raven Guard tactics or Imperial Fist tactics
(re-rolling Bolters FTW).<br />
<br />
With just under a month to go for the Bolt Action Welsh Open I've been
putting the finishing touches to my Japanese. Granted on Monday I remembered
about the Armoured Platoon game that kicks off the event so I hurriedly ordered
some tanks and a lorry from Warlord on Monday morning and they arrived this
morning, not too shabby for customer service! So with my girlfriend working
nights next week I'll be getting these built, sprayed and painted ready for the
tourne. I've organsied a 1K Game with my tourne list for next Sunday against
Jim so at least I'll have some practice with them before the Welsh Open. My
first tournament and I cannot wait, though I'm ready for my Pacific warriors to
be sitting at the bottom of the table come the end of Sunday!<br />

My Vampire Count army is coming along really nicely, I've not even got bored
of painting Skeletons, Zombies or Ghouls yet huzzah! It helps I'm doing them in
batches of 10 and then switching to another unit. It means nothing gets too
samey and the Ghouls are pretty easy to do anyway as they're just a couple of
washes followed up by a tiny bit of detail work. I’ve still got the likes of
the Mortis Engine and Terrorghiest to build but I want to spend some time on
these are they’re going to be two of the vocal points of the army. I really
like the idea of the Terrorghiest sitting on top of the Garden of Morr building
but I don’t want to feel like I’ve copied it. I want to be able to have the
full army built for a club game soon but I know for a fact that at least 50% of
the army (probably 75%) will be grey plastic and I hate playing with grey
plastic.<br />
<br />
I had my first proper game of 40K on Sunday, after giving Mort a tutorial 500pt
game of Bolt Action (his Japanese absolutely wiped my Vet Soviet force), Jim
gave me a intro game of 40K at 1,500pts. His Space Wolves against my Necron
army in a Kill Point game. We added the secondary objectives (Linebreaker,
First Blood etc) to the scoring too and I really enjoyed it. Thankfully most of
the rules were pretty self-explanatory and I don’t think I was too slow for Jim
in my first game. I did lose 6-3 but my first turn I completely forgot to fire
my Monolith, you know because it’s so small I missed it bang in the middle of
my side of the battlefield, then didn’t realise it had a S8 AP1 Pie Plate Ordnance
attack until Turn 3 where it then wiped out one squad and almost wiped out
another. I need to fully learn all the rules for the Necrons but when they have
about 5 pages of FAQs and Erratas I’ll be waiting until the new book comes out
(hopefully before the New Year with the speed GW is launching the new hardback
books). <br />
<br />
So while I’ve not had the time to post on here I’ve been pretty darn busy.
Promise to keep you all updated, even if they’re just small updates with some
pics of painting progress and that.<br />

I'm fresh from kicking off the NAG Bolt Action League and I managed to hold onto a draw against Jim's Veteran British. I've only defended a couple of scenarios now but I hate it, prep bombardment is really annoying especially with the British rolling two dice and choosing the highest. It can instantly put hurt on your army before you've even activated an order!<br />
<br />
We rolled for point defence and had to cut down the distances of the 3 objectives due to playing on a 4' x 4' board for the 500pts. We used three of my 15mm StuGs as objective markers (really need to build some 28mm WW2 objective markers now) and I had my lieutenant, a regular squad and Zis-3 defending the far right objective, left the middle objective free and defended the left hand objective with a Medium Mortar, AT Rifle and Sniper team. I left an inexperienced squad and regular squad in reserve to bring on from turn three depending on where Jim's reserves came on. My regular squad I brought on easily on the left to support the weapon teams, but my Inexperienced squad refused to come on (needing a 6 on two dice) until turn 6 where they rushed the middle objective and reclaimed it from a two man Brit team left taking that objective.<br />

<br />
As the game ended I held one objective, Jim held one and we were contesting the other. A draw. Not bad for our first league game. Jim took more points than me, I learned killing vets are a tough job to do and can see why the majority of people use vets in comp lists. Going from killing people on half of the dice rolls (4+) for my Soviets to killing them on a 1/3 of dice rolls (5+) for Jims really makes a different. Sure I can hit them easily enough to cause a pin but trying to kill the buggers well that's a different thing. Thankfully the Zis-3 luckily landed a shell straight on the Vet squad coming up the right. The +2 Pen really helps against Vets as you're then killing them on 3+, alot better!<br />
<br />
I ranged in on his heavy mortar knocking it down to one man, but then my Medium Mortar couldn't finish it off for the full game, to the point the Heavy Mortar took a pot shot on my Lieutenant (needing a 6+ to range in) and managed it in the very last turn! This left the contested objective on the right was now easily in Jim's control. It was a great game but I cannot wait to attack in a scenario with prep bombardment! Jim went onto play a second league game against Dom's Italians and managed a marginal victory so leads with 4 points. We've already had a couple of extra guys sign up and another couple are showing interest, hopefully we can have even more people join!<br />
<br />
So the progress of my Japanese for Bolt Action has been halted for a bit, I was burning myself out doing the same paint scheme over and over! I want to get them finished soon (just 10 men and the weapon teams left) but I needed a bit of time away from them to not get completely bored.<br />
<br />
In light of this I've been painting my Infinity Combined Army! I've got another couple of training games with my Morat on Sunday going to be taking 250pts with me so I'm really looking forward to that. I really enjoyed my training game against Mike in June so looking forward to learning the more advanced rules on Sunday. I should be having a couple of games so hopefully I can learn from the first game and then implement it in the second game. Earlier this week I had the Yaogat box set delivered and I've built them along with my Morat Vanguard Boxset. I'm waiting for my bases to be delivered from Element Games which should be tomorrow so I can base everything on the bases and get them all primed grey for Sunday.<br /><br />

So far I've finished two of the Morat Vanguard with Combi Rifles and almost finished the big Suryat beast and got another Vanguard with Combi Rifle as a WIP. I'm not the greatest painter and still learning but I really enjoyed painting these guys. Hopefully once they're all finished and completed and look uniformed together they'll look ok for tabletop. I'm hoping with the others being primed I might be able to make some more progress on them but it all depends on time and whether the weather holds out.Chalmershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02596161025223047837noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4016278676150842724.post-32980269206583119482014-07-24T12:32:00.004+01:002014-07-24T12:32:58.517+01:00Beginning of The Vampire Counts So as well as my Japanese Bolt Action I've also made a start on my Vampire Count army. I ended up buying quite the backbone of my Vampire Count army from one of the lads at the club for just over £100. He tried getting into Fantasy but it wasn't for him so it was a great piece of timing to start my Vamps army.<br />
<br />
I've spent the last couple of days sorting through it all and this is approx what I've got so far; <br />
<br />
Zombies x 29 <br />
Skeletons x 30<br />
Grave Guard x 10<br />
Ghouls x 30<br />
Hexwraiths x 5<br />
Black Knights x 5<br />
Corpse cart x 1<br />
Varghiests x 3<br />
Flesh hounds x 1<br />
Black Coach x 1<br />
Necromancer x 1<br />
Wight King x 1<br />
Forgeworld Wight King Battle Standard Bearer x 1<br />
Count Mannfred on Horseback x 1<br />
Army book<br />
<br />
Not a bad starting section for the army. I've also managed to pick up the limited Christmas run box The Restless Dead from eBay for really cheap so that'll add another Wight King (though I'll probably not really use another one), 10 more Grave Guard which were definitely needed, 20 more Skeletons which again are always needed and 5 more Black Knights/Hexwraiths which I think I'm going to make into 5 more Hexwraiths. I've also ordered from Blyth Models a box of the Mantic Zombies so that'll add a much needed 40 extra Zombies to the army because let's be honest, Zombies are everywhere in a Vampire Count list. Especialy when you can raise even more throughout every magic phase.<br />
<br />
<br />
I've had an idea for a Vampire Lord for my army using a Empire Warrior Priest as the basis of my model. I recieved one for Christmas but already had the model in my Empire army so went to work with the clippers and knife to trim away the different parts of the Finecast model to create my own Vampire-looking model. It's the first time I've used Greenstuff on models, the only other experience of using it was with my Flames of War Volks and that was just for the basing. So this the final result of the conversion, pretty simple but effective. I'm still trying to look for a cloak to use on the back but have yet to find one that's the right length and also need to think of a Count name for him. He could very well be my general for the army.<br />

Like a few VC armies out there I'm going to be using the Garden of Morr scenery set to create some unit fillers for my army. I've already had a bit of a play with the different pieces for units and so far only settled on the big gate for the back rank of my Grave Guard. It takes out the need of 8 men but in a future 40-man block won't look too out of place. I'm planning on having one of the Grave Guards walking out between the gates to give the unit filler a bit of life. I'm loving the magnetic tape I've bought off eBay to magnetise everything as it really keeps big pieces like this securely in place while playing the game and transporting.<br />

With the VC army I and the huge amount of models for the army I wanted something easy and practicaly to transport everything around. I've decided to go for the Really Useful Boxes, I've got a shallow 10 litre box for the core troops (though the standards have to be laid on their sides) and then a deep 18 Litre box for the cavalry, scenery unit fillers and the recently purchased Terrorgheist and Mortis Engine once their built. I've put Steel sheets onto the bottom of the boxes and the movement trays have magnetic tape on the bottom so it's nice and secure to stick to the bottom of the box and carry around. It definitely makes the back room look a little less untidy with being able to take the whole army and pack it away in the cupboard.<br />
<br />
As I've been getting through the Japanese for the Bolt Action Welsh Open in Oct, I've not had much of a chance to do any painting for them, I've done a couple of test Crypt Ghouls which I'm happy with. They're pretty easy to do but look rather good all together so once the Japanese are sorted I'll whip through them. My zombies will be sprayed with the Necrotic Flesh army painter sprayed, details and clothes will then be basecoated before dipping the whole lot of them. It'll speed up the painting for these no-end and the prospect of doing 60 and probably another 40 later on this year is not really that appealing.<br />

Finally I made a start on one of the Flesh Hounds as a tester. I'm not overly keen on the models but for some chaff in the army I'm not that fussed to get anything else at the current time. I'm sure over time I'll either find some different models or do something a bit more extravagant but for the time being I'm happy with the look of these. I'll be adding some Blood for the Blood God in the near future to certain areas to give them that undead feel.<br />

Going to make a start on the the other three squads this weekend and hopefully will have the majority of the infantry finished by Sunday or Monday night. I'm getting into my Vampire Counts at the moment but don't want them to distract me too much from the Japanese which is my priority at the moment.<br />

The first 10 Japanese troops for the Welsh Open in October have been finished and based. Doing the men in batches of 10 really works well as I can put them on a production line and by the time the 10th man has whatever layer of paint applied I can return to the first man for the next layer and it'll be ready.<br />

<br />
I'm really pleased with the long grass I purchased on eBay. It's about 120mm tall so really gets up to the models waist and gives the squad a feeling of moving through the long grass and attacking the Allies head on. I think a whole army in the paint scheme I've got with the long grass is really going to look awesome of the battlefield. I've already got visions for my gun teams being hidden amongst the grass ready to lay enemy armour to waste.<br />
<br />
Hopefully the weather holds up until tonight so I can get close to the other 30 men all primed so I can work on them from Thursday and all weekend as the mrs is working nights this weekend. Unfortunately I won't be able to paint throughout the weekend days or head down to the club on Sunday as I've stupidly agreed to work both Saturday and Sunday as they needed extra office staff to help for a warehouse stock check.<br />
<br />
Once I get the infantry finished, hopefully by the end of the weekend if I really make a concentrated effort, then I'll be ordering everyting else I need to finish off the army. Still trying to source a couple of bits and pieces though so until I can find them I'm not going to have the full 1,000pts to play with. For games at the club I might see whether I can either use my Chi-Ha Medium Tank or proxy one of my Zis-3s for one of the guns I'll have to find from a different supplier. It's a big pain with Warlords limited supply of Japanese models, some of the more tasty options in the army book have to be sourced from elsewhere rather from themselves.<br />
<br />
Keep you all updated in the next couple of days with more pictures of the full squad.Chalmershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02596161025223047837noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4016278676150842724.post-19241540097745608482014-07-11T14:41:00.000+01:002014-07-11T14:41:36.192+01:00I Think I'm Building Japanese, I Really Think So<!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>

So I've been pretty darn busy the last couple of nights. As
mentioned a couple of days ago I really needed to make a concentrated effort on
my Japanese in the upcoming weeks ahead of the Bolt Action Welsh Open in
October. So Wednesday I went on a production line and built all 40 Japanese
troops in one night! Granted I was still up gluing pieces at 1am but at least
the four ten man squads have been built now! </div>

My main aim is to get the troops built and painted first and
then focus on the weapon teams and guns that I’ll be using in my list
afterwards. Last night I primed the first ten men and set upon getting the
Japanese colour scheme nailed down. I first tried using the Vallejo Japanese
Uniform colour but it’s a horrible yellow colour that looked awful and was a
pain to get a consistent coat across the model. I know quite a few people
playing Japanese first tried this colour, mainly because of the name but every
single one has sworn off it and I can see why.</div>

I then tried Vallejo Middlestone and it looked great, more
of a greeny yellow this colour will be the full uniform colour of my troops.
Browns for the boots, rifle and boxes with a Khaki colour for the bags and
pouches. I wasn’t too sure on the colour of the helmet but settled on the
German Camo dark green. I then did a full Agrax Earthshade wash before
drybrushing Middlestone back over the uniform to bring back up the colour of
the uniform. </div>

It’s a pretty quick scheme but I need something like that
for all 40 men. I might try some highlighting if I’ve got the time but my main
course of action is get the army tabletop ready and then see exactly how much
time </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I have to get everything else sorted. I know what I want to do for the bases
too, I want to represent the long grass that a lot of the pacific fighting was
fought in. I’ve ordered some 1.2cm long golden grass tufts that should cover
halfway up the legs to give this look. If it doesn’t work I’ve got another
supplier where you can have a custom length. Hopefully this will add a lot more
to the models but I’m going to test one out over the weekend and see what it
looks like. </div>

Still trying to sort out my 500pt list for the league game
against Jim on Sunday too, I might just use my usual list that is troop heavy
but I’m having ideas of adding a Zis-3 Gun so I can use it for any potential
armoured cars or as a howitzer on troops. It may be picked ahead of the MMG as
I’ve yet to really have much success with that. Keep you all informed on what I
go with.</div>

Hopefully another update over the weekend, time depending,

Fear not I'm alive! It's been almost two months since my last post,
apologies for that. Since then I've been to Morocco and back, tore up the back
garden and laid turf and fitted a new fence, been to Glastonbury to work for
Oxfam for the week, and been working my tits off in my job. Unfortunately with
all of that happening I've had to put the blog on the backburner but I'm now
back and hopefully it'll be better than ever!<br />
<br />
So what have I been up to in the world of wargaming in the past two months?
Well the Soviets are fully finished to a 1,000pts on the dot. Me and Jim had a
game with his finished Brits a couple of weeks ago and while I took a very
early lead by the end of the battle Jim had beaten me by about 2 points mainly
by getting his units off the board. I'll get some pictures sorted out in the
next week or so, at the moment they’re in a case and with another 1,000pt game
on Sunday I don’t want to take them all out to then put them all back in.<br />
<br />
Despite having the Welsh Open at the beginning of October I’ve made
absolutely no progress on my Japanese, I’ve put the next couple of weeks aside
for getting all the squads built and primed, weather permitting. I’m still trying
to source a couple of the models as unfortunately Warlord doesn’t seem to have
a lot of the artillery and anti-tank guns for sale yet. I’ll be trailing
through the other companies of the web to try and source what I need hence why
I’m going to focus on the troops first.<br />

I’ve organised an Escalation League for Bolt Action at NAG, we’re going to
be starting at 500pts before moving to 750pts and finally 1K. A couple of
people haven’t exactly been happy about some of the rules but at the moment we’ve
got five people signed up with a couple more showing interest so hopefully it’ll
garner so more interest once a few of the games have begun. Full details and rules for the league can be found <b><a href="http://n-a-g.org/forum/index.php?topic=2903.0" target="_blank">here</a></b>.<br />
<br />
Outside of Bolt Action, I went to the midnight launch of the 7<sup>th</sup>
Edition Warhammer 40K. Granted I was coming back from Morocco at the time but
why not, I’ve still yet to play a game of 40K due to my recent time constraints
but having read the rulebook quite a bit it seems like it’ll be decent once I
pick it up and I get playing a bit more.<br />
<br />
Warhammer Fantasy-wise I participated in the first tournament of the year a
month ago, we had a no-comp 2,000pt competition and I decided to take my Ogres
as usual. Two 20-0 losses and one 14-6 win wasn’t really what I had planned but
I’ve finally decided to box up and store away the Ogres for the foreseeable
future. After a little while they get a little boring and stale. I’ve started the
process of clearing out some of my failed armies (Lizardmen will be the first
to go, my Empire will either go into storage or be sold too), once I’ve cleared
those out I’m going to be starting a Vampire Count army. They were my original
choice when I returned to Fantasy last year until I was drawn into the Ogres
because let’s be honest what’s cooler than; Vampires, Zombies, Ghouls,
Skeletons and everything else that goes bump in the night? I know I’m going to
need a big bunch of Zombies (thankfully Mantic Games do pretty well priced
undead) and the thought of painting every one is a little daunting but I’m
hoping the Army Painter Necrotic Flesh Spray will give me a decent basecoat to
then give the skin a wash and colour the clothing. It’ll be a long project for
sure to get done but I have a feeling the army is going to look pretty cool
once they’re finished.<br />

A couple of weeks back I had my first training game for Infinity. Mike, one
of the main advocates of Infinity at the club is now a Warcor who can teach
players the rules. I used his beautifully painted Ariadna against his Toahaa
army and loved the game. The small model count really helps the game flow
especially with the reactive orders meaning that no player is ever sat twiddling
their thumbs because everyone is always involved. Check out Mike’s great blog <b><a href="http://projecttoth.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">here</a></b>
for all things Infinity. I’ve bought the Morat Sectorial Starter Force and the
Vanguard Infantry box, they’re two of the newest box sets to be launched and
they’re beautiful sculpts. I’ve already got the Starter Force based and
grey-primed with the Vanguard waiting in the wings for a spray. Once I get
these all started I’ll be having another training game to learn some more of
the advance rules of the game and I really cannot wait for whenever that will
be. <br />
<br />
Finally I’ve signed up for a Judge Dredd Campaign at the club! The models
and rulebook is produced by Warlord in conjunction with Mongoose Publishing. I’ve
started a Cursed Earth Desperadoes gang but I’m still working out what
equipment to give to each person in the gang for the campaign. I originally had
an idea of two heroes and multiple goons but after kitting out two heroes with
all the bells and whistles it really limited my choice for how many men I could
run. We’re kicking off the Campaign August 10<sup>th</sup> so hopefully by then
I’ll have a couple of games under my belt and the initial guys for my gang all
painted and sorted.<br />
<br />
So yeah it’s been an eventful couple of months, hopefully now I can settle down
and focus on getting the Japanese in some sort of recognisable state and make a
move on with everything else. More updates later this week once I have Banzai’d
straight into my Japanese models.<br />

<br />
So it's been almost a week since me and Jim played a couple of 500pt Bolt Action games on Sunday at the club and it was great fun! First one was
Maximum Attrition just to get the rules nailed down and then we rolled
for a scenario and got Demolition. By the end of the
first game we had the rules pretty much nailed down and that really is a great thing for Bolt Action one completely new player and someone who hasn't played for 6 months was knowing most of the rules and mechanics by the 2nd turn.<br />
<br />
Second game was
good fun and after the building, which my squads were about to mount my assault on the
objective from, was wiped out by a Artillery strike I was left
defending my objective with one squad left! Thankfully the squad won a last
minute assault on the approaching team meaning my single squad managed to
squeeze a draw out for the Soviets.<br />
<br />
As you can see from the photos we changed the battlefield around completely after the first game, it's great that the club has so much scenery and buildings that we could do this. It also meant we weren't going to get bored of the same looking board for the whole day!<br />

Not bad photos for an iPhone, would've loved to use the girlfriend's camera but don't think I can persuade her to take it down the club for the whole day! After such an enjoyable day and being home alone for the Bank Holiday Monday I was spurred on to build all my extra 500pts for the Soviets to bring my force up to 1,000pts. The two ZIS-3 Guns were a complete bitch to build, and it seems looking on the Warlord forums I wasn't the only one who has had this experience. None of the pieces seem to go together correctly but after some swearing, shaving and just sticking and hoping I had them both glued together and based.<br />
<br />
Here's the rest of the guys and the progress I've made this week in painting them!<br />

So yeah it's been great fun getting all of these extras all built and painted up in realatively quick fashion. Hopefully once I'm back from holiday I'll be able to get a couple of 1,000pts games under my belt and see how the rules for Tanks and Guns fair. I'll also then be making a start on building all my Japanese infantry and working out a 1,000pt list for them for the Welsh-Open in October. It's still a good few months to go but I know it'll be here sooner than I think!<br /><br />Chalmershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02596161025223047837noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4016278676150842724.post-64736186772938828042014-05-02T12:35:00.000+01:002014-05-02T12:35:12.314+01:00Busy, Busy, Bolt Action BusyIs it really almost two weeks since I've updated here? Wow time's been flying by. A combination of work and lots of modelling has left me with little time to keep you all informed what I'm up to. So here's a mega post to keep you all updated. Sitting comfortably? Got a cuppa? Ready for lots of text? What do you mean NO!?! Well here we go anyway.<br />
<br />
Well to start with I was voted in as the new secretary of the <a href="http://n-a-g.org/forum/index.php" target="_blank">Northumbrian Adventurers Guild</a>, my local (about 15-miles away) wargaming club that I've been going to pretty regularly on Sundays. It's a great group and everyone's pretty friendly. Lots of different games and tournaments throughout the year ranging from 40K Leagues, Fantasy Tournaments, Flames of War, Bolt Action and Infinity. Got some good plans for this year with the club just need to get advertising and get a few more people from the North East up playing games.<br />
<br />
I've made a concentrated effort on my Volksgrendier after Easter and now all the command are finished, the HMGs are based ready from priming, the Sturm platoon is almost finished and then it's all about the guns! I've ordered my <span class="st">10.5cm LeFH18 Artillery</span> battery and the IG37 Anti-Infantry guns. It wasn't until they arrived I realised I'd only ordered 2 x IG37 when I needed 4! Sods law is they've out of stock everywhere at the moment so I'm trying to source them. Once they've arrived it's going to be a case of building the PAK40s, Flak 43s, Artillery and IG37s and get a weekend of priming, painting and hopefully have them finished. Once they're completed the Volks will be finished!....well for now. Every wargamer knows you're never finished with an army, I'm already looking at additional units to add for the future if I want to switch around my army list. But firstly I need to learn the rules!<br />

So as you can probably guess I've been busy busy with Bolt Action recently. On Sunday I've got a couple of 500pts starter games with Jim at the club. Jim has been busy building and painting a British army recently and after he helped me through Fantasy for a bit I thought it was only fair I helped him into Bolt Action. To be honest I need the games to get back into the swing of things again so it'll be good relearning with someone else who is learning. We're hoping for one game of Maximum Attrition to get the shooting aspects nailed down and then if we've got time we're going to be going into a scenario.<br />
<br />
<br />
To get prepared for this I've spent the past week basing my Soviets getting them all up to scratch. They look so much better with basing, giving the models so much more character. I've added the GW <span class="st">Mordheim Turf tufts to some of the bases the dead-grass look gives each of the models a little bit extra.</span><br />

Me and Jim are aiming to get a 1,000pt battle sorted after we nail down the rules on Sunday. Both ordering from Warlord they've been swamped by the popularity of the Bolt Action game recently and unfortunately both our orders took a good couple of weeks to be shipped. It's understandable as Warlord are such a small company with a rather fast growing game. My reinforcements as mentioned in my April 20th post, arrived yesterday and included 2 x ZIS-3 Guns, 1 x Plastic T34 Kit, 1 x Soviet Command Blister, 1 x Light Mortar/Flamethrower Blister. These additions will bring me up to 1,000pts and I cannot wait to try them out in full force, I'm going to have a busy building and painting period soon! Probably Bank Holiday Monday while the girlfriend is at work.<br />

Well I've always loved the T34 for some reason, I think it's just being a Soviet player and the tank being such an iconic vehicle for them in World War 2. I couldn't wait to get the Tank built, so much so, that I spent last night prepping and building it to completion! It's a rather straight forward kit to build and didn't have any problems working out what went where. I love the addition of the Tank commander, I didn't even realise you got one in the box as no picture has one at all.<br />

After reading through the Imperial Japan army book I was dead set on getting my force sorted sooner rather than later. Blyth Models managed to pull a blinder and I ended up picking up the kit on Sunday 27th a good week before I was expecting it. I've already gone through the box and worked out what I'll be building. Despite being a 1,000pts starter force I'll be adding some of my own options to make it a 1K Army that I'm happy with. I'll be wanting to get in a couple of guns and also get in Sniper and Flamethrower teams. At the moment I'll build what I've got with the options I want and then go from there.<br />

The Chi Ha tank was easier than the T34 to built, the tracks x 2, hull and turret were four solid pieces and were easy to assemble together. The only fiddly bits were the small metal MMGs to attach to the hull and back of the turret. The radio antenna (big round thing on the turret) was a ball-ache to fix properly and had to bend into shape two or three times just to get it to properly glue down. I'm still stuck with the two extra bits, that you can see in the picture, I know they're meant to go on the back but I've not a clue where they go. If anyone can help then you'll definitely get a cookie from me....*please note cookies may not be handed out.<br />

So yeah a busy busy couple of weeks and I'm really getting back into Bolt Action and cannot wait for Sunday's game. I've even ended up signing up for a tournament in October in Cardiff of all places. The Welsh Open is being held at Firestorm Games and it's going to include a 650pts Armoured Platoon game, looking forward to 650pts of Tanks as a throwaway fun game. I've mainly signed up for this tournament to give myself a goal to get all the rules nailed down and army finished by then which will easily be done. I've just got to decide whether to run Soviets or Japanese!<br />
<br />
I'll try and get some photos from Sunday, though they'll be on my iPhone like all my others, don't think the Mrs will be happy if I took her expensive Digital SLR down to the club!

I've spent the last couple of days working on my Volksgrenadier when I've got the time. I've been painting like a madman unfortunately it's been on the lounge, stairs and landing walls as me and the girlfriend give the house a bit of a freshen up.<br />

I have finished my Shutzen Platoon though! The greenstuff was still setting so need to finish off the bases which doesn't take too long. I've also started the HQ unit with the iC, 2iC and three Panzerschreck teams. I'm going to have all the men in these units in white winter uniforms, the feeling is the HQ would be much better prepped for battle in the winter conditions than the troops who were a mix of veterans and fresh conscripts.<br />
<br />
May 4th is when me and Jim have organised our Bolt Action game, I'm really looking forward to this and after reading through the rulebook again I think we'll be having the rules nailed down by the first game. We've decided with the 500pt forces we've got we're going to play Maximum Attrition basically kill everyone to start and learn the rules. After that we're going to play one of the scenarios from the rulebook. I've also ordered the bits I need for my 1,000pts army. I was going to wait but Jim has ordered his and I took that as an excuse to order mine. Thankfully the new tyre for the car didn't cost as much as I thought it would.<br />

My Imperial Japan army book also arrived from the book depository not bad for £8. I love the national rules for them and even though I won't have it until May 4th (after payday) I've got the Banzai 1,000pts Japan Starter Force on order from our local supplier - <a href="http://www.blythmodels.co.uk/">Blyth Models</a>. Looking forward to starting this army and it'll give me a great starting point before adding a couple of extra bits (hello flamethrowers/snipers). I'm off on holiday mid-May but get back for the May Bank Holiday, the mrs is actually off on a hen-do the same day we get back from Morroco (crazy I know) but it means I have the whole bank holiday weekend to build. Think I could get the whole Japan force built and possibly primed in the three days.<br />
<br />
Anyway that's not for another month. This month I'm going to be focusing on getting my Volksgrenadier troops finished so I can then make a start on the Pak 40s and Flak43s. Hopefully my Soviet additions arrive too though I know Warlord Games are a little slow on getting orders out. Anyway back to painting the lounge, Happy Easter!Chalmershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02596161025223047837noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4016278676150842724.post-38957421485077788662014-04-14T11:05:00.002+01:002014-04-14T11:05:26.450+01:00Soviets and Germans<!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>

Well I finally think Summer is here! The sun has been
shining all weekend, there’s not a cloud in the sky but the weather is still
only just heating up. It’s still warm enough to get some priming done outside
in the shed but it’s then a rush to get it back inside before the coldness of
the wind gets to the box. But hey I’ll take that to pouring rain and no chances
to get anything primed which has been the case the past few weeks. Once the
summer properly hits I’m going to plan to “stockpile” models for the winter
months and get everything that I can primed and ready for painting. This way I’m
not sat twiddling my thumbs looking at a cabinet full of grey plastic rather
than a cabinet full of canvases ready for colour.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
I've had a bit of a rejig in my two cabinets as alot of the Gaunts from my Nids had taken over a second shelf and it was all looking rather messy. I've decided my shelf for the Nids will only have the big creatures which are going to be a focal point of my army. Lets be honest for a minute I don't really want to see hundreds of gaunts filling up my cabinet looking over-crowded and messy. I've relegated these to a padded box to keep them safe and out of way. I think this week I'll spend quite a bit of time getting the Skeleton Bone spray on all of them so they're all ready for the red, green and dipping.</div>

So what's gone on my other shelf that I've got clear? Well I thought it was finally time to dust off the Bolt Action Soviets and get them out of the packed container and onto a shelf so I can base them in the next couple of days. I was planning on getting these done over the weekend but other things (explain in a bit) took up alot of my time and when I did have some painting time I made a start on my newly primed Schutzen platoon. </div>

So Thursday I managed to get the remainder of my Volksgrenadier company primed! Rather than trimming down the bases now to fit in my Kerr&King bases I've decided to stick all the men on lollipop sticks with PVA glue (who knew that Metal would stick to wood with PVA) and then prime them. After painting I can them trim down the bases to get them fitting rather than wasting a lot of time now getting them trimmed before priming.<br />

I've got three different batches of painting in the upcoming weeks, the remainder of my Schutzen (rifle) platoon which consists of four stands. My command team which consists of my Company Command stand, 2iC stand and three Panzerschreck team stands (got to love that Anti-Tank). I've also primed up the special warrior character Major Siegfried Moldenhauer, I won't be using him at all but for a two character stand seemed a waste to keep him in a box never to see the light of day.<br />

Finally I've got my Sturm (Assault Rifles) platoon which is going to be the biggest project to do. I'm going to keep these seven stands until last. I want to get my Schutzen finished off and then the command which shouldn't take too long. Once they're all done and based the Sturm will be focused on and then all my infantry will be completed! After that I want to build my Pak40s and Flak43s however I've yet to order the relevant Kerr&King bases for them so I'll need to get them sorted in the next few days. After that's finished I'll decided whether the Plastic Soldier Company Heavy Weapon teams can be used for my Volksgrenadiers. In the list I've created I need the HMGs but I'll also be making the mortar teams just incase I need to change things around. If they don't look right against the rest of the army I'll be ordering the GE944 HMG Platoon in Winter Uniforms. The Mortars can wait until everything else is bought and painted which looking at my list will only be the Light Artillery Battery and the Infantry Guns! Not too bad when I look at everything.<br />
<br />
Anyway the other things which took my time away this weekend, my fricking car. I ended up getting a puncture just as I was coming home on Thursday night, I thought I'd leave it until Friday morning when it was light before work. Got the nuts off fine but then there was a different sized nut that was circular. After looking on the internet I found out it was a Wheel Lock Nut to deter thiefs, apparently the car should have the special key somewhere, looked in every knook and cranny and could I find it? So looking on Youtube I found out how to remove it with a socket and hammer. Though just as I got the socket on the lock the collar of the Lock started rotating meaning I couldn't get it off. Thankfully the socket came off and after numerous calls to garages I've got a mobile tyre guy who can remove these types of locks coming tomorrow morning to remove it and fit a new tyre. It's an expense and a faff which I didn't really need this weekend, it also meant I couldn't make it down the club which was really annoying as I had a 4-Player game of Triumph and Treachery planned and had to cancel on Saturday when I got in from swearing at the car.<br />
<br />
So yeah an expense I didn't really need, no models are being bought this month unfortunately but hey it's probably for the best, time to get my paint on!<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span>Chalmershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02596161025223047837noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4016278676150842724.post-78396373406335546352014-04-09T11:20:00.000+01:002014-04-09T11:20:02.715+01:00FOW and Bolt ActionAh-Hoy-Hoy fellow readers, this busy period of work seems to be relentless and I'll be honest I've hardly done anything recently painting-wise. I've got a few of the Nids that are on the production line painted up ready for dipping. I ended up doing the one Warrior and Carnifex that I had basecoated to test the dripping on larger models and they're looking great.<br />
<br />
I'll be working on the basecoating to get big squads done at once and then go and dip them, otherwise I'm switching between painting and dipping and not really achieveing anything of substance. The Anti-Shine Matt Varnish is going to be applied right at the end once everything is finished, granted by the end of it I'll be sick of adding Matt Varnish but it needs to be done because the Nids are way too shiny at the moment.<br />
<br />
With the weather being so crappy recently the plan on doing a lot of spraying has gone out the window, thankfully the rain and fog that has plagued the last week seems to have surrendered for the time being and I think on Thursday when the girlfriend is away I'll be doing alot of priming throughout the night, I might even get a couple of spray boxes on the go at once so I'm not waiting between spraying for the next lot of models to get primed. <br />
<br />
So what have I done this week? Well if the title of this post hasn't given it away I've been doing my Volksgrenadier Flames of War army, or what was paintable at the time. So I've finally finished 5 stands of Infantry and 3 of the StuG Gs. Hopefully if I get prepped I can get the rest of the Infantry and the last remaining Stug G primed on Thursday night in one go, I might just need alot of Blu Tac to keep them upright!<br />

I've also dusted off my Soviet Union Bolt Action army that I bought and painted in a couple of weeks for NAG back in June/July of last year. A couple of the guys (Neil - who taught me Flames of War and Jim - who I've played Fantasy against a few times) at the club have decided to start up the game both with British forces and I thought this would be a great time to dust them all off and pick up the rules again. I've been reading up on the rules the past week and remembered it being pretty simple and straight forward so should be easy to get back into the swing of things. <br />
<br />
The one thing I didn't get done last time around was basing the models, so far I've got a full 500pts + of Soviets, fully painted but without a single bit of basing material on them! I think I'll be doing a pretty simple sand and flock job on these with a couple of extra bits on the MMG and Mortar teams who already have a couple of rocks on the bases. I've been looking at expanding the army to 1,000pts as that's the aim for the others, I can see it being pretty simple and straight forward to do with a couple of Zis-3 Anti-Tank guns, a HMG and a Flamethrower team plus a couple of extra bits. I wanted to add a T34 mainly because I love the tank and wanted one in the army but to be honest at almost 200pts for a Regular tank it's 1/5th of my force which could be used on other bits.<br />
<br />
I won't be purchasing anything at the moment though as I'm going to be focusing on getting the Flames of War army units primed and painted, the Nids basecoated and the Soviets all based. It'll probably be May before I drop the money on the extra bits for Bolt Action and the remainder of my Flames of War army.<br />
<br />
In other news I was voted in as the new NAG secretary. Going to be a busy year and I'll be firing across some advertising to numerous forums I use to get people knowing that there is a great club up in the North East. Hell who knows we could even have the first proper North East Wargames tourne?<br />
<br />
Hopefully they'll be more of an update on Friday once I get everything all primed and sorted, now watch it rain for 24 hours on Thursday!Chalmershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02596161025223047837noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4016278676150842724.post-50112491166685775312014-04-01T17:28:00.000+01:002014-04-01T17:28:15.768+01:00What a Week!Well that was unexpected, everything went tits up at work with deadlines popping up everywhere meaning most of my social life for this week has gone out of the window (boo!). It also means I've made no progress with my Nids and at the moment sits with a cabinet full of grey plastic waiting for the moment to prime everything with the Skeleton Bone Spray!<br />

I did manage to test one Gaunt with the Army Painter Strong Tone and after drying for 24 hours it looks to have dried pretty darn good. As expected I need to use the Anti-Shine Matt Varnish over the top as it's rather bright and shiny at the moment. I think my plan this week, as the mrs is working nights again, is to get alot of the Gaunts and Warriors that are primed all painted up and ready for painting on dip.<br />
<br />
Then I can do another batch of dipping in one night and have the starts of a finished army already. I've still got to base all the models after painting but I think, especially for the smaller troops, I'll be doing a very basic base and paint scheme while focusing on the larger models for details on the models/more detailed basing.<br />
<br />
Now the clocks have gone forward and the nights are lighter I can do quite a bit of priming in the evening, hooray! Well once the weather has decided whether it wants to be dry or raining/foggy. Once I get the majority of the troops done I can get them packed away in a carry case so I can focus on building/painting the larger monsters to fill the display cabinet.<br />
<br />
I did participate in the NAG Fantasy Tournament a couple of Sundays back now. I didn't fare the greatest (3rd from last) but it was such a fun day. First game I played James in a Beastmen vs Wood Elves affair, I won the roll and chose to use the Beastmen however I didn't realise the shooting prowess of the Wood Elves and those pesky bowmen of the forest had shot the majority of my Combat-orientated army off the table before I could get across. Also who's idea was it not to give the Ghorgon no armour save what so ever?<br />
<br />
Second game I got to try out the new Dwarves against a Skaven list manned by Martin which I was really looking forward to. I absolutely loved this army and the new units including the Gyrobomber that in one turn almost wiped out the Hell Pit Abomination in one turn. I used the Gyrocopter to great use too flying right up to a Stormvermin unit and almost covering the whole thing with a Flame Template. There were a lot of crispy-fried Skaven after the template lifted. I did win but after initial thoughts by both of us of a 20-0 win my inability to completely wipe out a unit meant it was a 16-4 victory instead. Not too bad for the new Dwarves but I'm holding off any urge I have for a stuntie army.<br />
<br />
Finally it was Daemons vs Lizardmen against another James. I wasn't fussed on which army I got to use having both of these sitting in a cabinet at home and yet to be able to field them. James won the roll and chose the Daemons so I finally got to try the Lizardmen. My first turn the Salamanders moved forward and both flame breaths rolled a 8 on the distance and covered the Plaguebearers Units. 26 hits, 20 wounds and 16 dead on the first turn....that was an amazing thing from the Salamanders who then spent the rest of the game in close combat with the Beasts of Nurgle. Unfortunately the Salamanders were really only the one thing which did well as the Bloodcrushers one hit killing blowed by Scar Vet on Cold One and my Skinks were wiped out before they even got to hit back by Chariots with a ridiculous amount of impact hits.<br />
<br />
So yeah not the greatest in games across the board but some very enjoyable games none-the-less. There is talk of a 4-Player Triumph and Treachery game a week on Sunday which I've been invited for. I think I'll give either my Lizardmen or Empire a run out for that game which should be a great laugh for the day.<br />
<br />

So it's Mancave and a production line of building Gaunts.<br />

By 11am I'd made 17 Termagaunts with Fleshborers (to go with four more still primed white from my earlier batch) and 10 Termagaunts with Devourers. <br />

As I want to try out the dipping tonight (hopefully) I've primed up 12 Gaunts with Fleshborers in the Skeleton Bone. Got to love a camera phone pic!<br />

Just a short update as I'm now about to start the Hormagaunts before she wakes up at 3! Chalmershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02596161025223047837noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4016278676150842724.post-86657965362232449742014-03-20T00:09:00.000+00:002014-03-20T00:09:02.384+00:00More Nid Progress!So, tonight I've spent the night doing more Nids. After deciding on the Hive Fleet Kraken my Army Painter Skeleton Bone and Strong Tone Quickshade has arrived. I thought if I've got a huge swarm to paint I may as well find a quick and easy way to paint them.<br />
<br />
I did make an initial mistake with the primer, unlike normal primers you have to keep moving the can as if you were fogging the models rather than spraying directly onto the model. I should've tried a gaunt as a sample to see how the spray worked but in my eagerness I chose three Warriors and a Carnifex. Unfortunately I've applied the primer a little too heavy, trying to cover up certain spots that weren't primed I didn't cloud them and instead focused on certain areas. It's not too bad but definitely learnt my lesson and the next four warriors I primed looked a hell of a lot better!<br />
<br />Yeah I know it's cheating using a coloured primer but it's so much quicker. The models look great with all the skin done already and it's a whole lot easier to paint them, so I can see a huge swarm being done in pretty quick fashion.<br />
<br />
I also purchased the Army Painter Wargamers Most Wanted Paint Set, it includes a Regiment normal brush, a Insane Detail Brush and a Small Drybrush. The stem of the paintbrush is triangular though and straight away I could feel the difference in being able to control my brush strokes compared to the GW brushes.<br />

<br />
So here's the warrior, pretty simple of Mephiston Red on the Carapace, Moot Green on the vents, gun and tounge and that's about it. I've not done any shading yet as I'm not sure whether to paint it on or dip it. I think for mess-sake I'll be dipping. Though I want to test it on a Gaunt this weekend and see what happens. I also want to try the GW Seraphim Sepia wash over the Skin to see whether I need to use the Strong Tone Quickshade.<br />

The Carnifex I've only done the Carapace at the moment and after using the large Drybrush I've made a little mess on the skin, it's not too bad though and can easily be touched up using Ushabti Bone. You can see the priming error on the front of the large carapace where I've applied too much. Hopefully once the shading is on and the rest of the model is painted it'll still look good on the battlefield, and if it doesn't? Well I've still got another four in the display cabinet to use! The previous bloke who sold me the Nids converted the guns to give the twin-linked Devourers more of a lethal look rather than the short stubby ones that the Carnifex normal have and I quite like it. I won't be doing it on the others but it does make this one unique. I'm not too sure on what colour to make the ends of the guns though, I'm thinking the Moot Green again will really make them pop and look alien like but also leaning towards one of the purples I've used in my Tau.<br />
<br />
Anyway second training game tomorrow using my Tau at GW Metrocentre, should be good fun. Then got my second tournament in Fantasy at NAG on Sunday. We're doing a random table tournament where armies are already set up on the tables and we're drawn to a table, roll off and the highest picks whichever army they want and then we play. It'll be quite fun and hopefully I can try out some random Fantasy armies I've not played yet. The tables will be set up with the following armies on them;<br />
<br />
Table 1 - Lizards vs. Demons<br />Table 2 - Wood Elves vs. Beastmen<br />Table 3 - Warriors vs. Empire<br />Table 4 - Dark Elves vs. Ogres<br />Table 5 - Warriors vs. Skaven<br />Table 6 - Skaven vs. Dwarves<br />Table 7 - Dark Elves vs. Demons<br />
<br />
<br />
Knowing my luck I'll get Ogres and Empire! Cheers for reading again and comments on the Kraken will be Kraken!...(cracking...kraken...get it? I'll leave now)Chalmershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02596161025223047837noreply@blogger.com0
