Review: Werewolf of millers hollow

2010-01-18T00:04:00.007Z

Now avlibel as a Podcast from Dueling with Dice

****

Here a fun game, werewolf it called you can fine the rule hear or you can by a set that come with the rules and playing cards, just Google Werewolf of millers hollow.
The set normal set you back around £10, and I think it money well spent. The way the game is played is simple there a pack of card with different personalise on,

Villager (a normal person)
Seer (may look at one other player card each night)
Werewolf (eats other player each night)
A moderator to GM

There are other personalise. Each night the village sleep (close there eyes) and the seer may do their thing when there finished they go back to sleep and the werewolf awake to kill one of the villages folk, and then go to sleep. In the morning the all awake to the dead body, a village meeting is called and after a debate one person is lynched.

The werewolves win by kill everybody, the town win by kill the werewolves.

It makes for a great party game the more people the better the card packs are worth geting holed of as they add more personalise to that mixes, it one complaint I have with this I you do need a lot of people to play 7-200 of any age.

It low cost (it free after all) and simple but affective game play makes this a lot of fun, and perfect for any gathering, all in all it get for 4 out of 5 stars.

Chaos in the Old World.

2010-01-17T13:38:00.001Z

Now avlibel as a Podcast from Dueling with Dice

First of an apology there not been much going on here for quite some time due in part me and Louise being taken out of Lamenter for some time by even beyond our control as we had no internet we couldn’t edit the blog.
Next thanks to Hue for keeping everything running smooth.
Ok time for the met of this, Last night I played 3 games of Fantasy Flight Games Chaos in the Old World, so I thought is should do a review on it.

I’m going to start whit what wrong whit this, first off the box stuff doesn’t fit in to well there none of those little zip lock bag that come in so very useful, part of this bad box design means that the fingers are else damage. The board itself is a little to... well noise, it a lovely map or poster you can’t fault the art work but that doesn’t mean that it work well as a game board.

The rest of it is very good the rules work well and at first sight they seem very balanced, however after playing 3 games whit the same group of people and playing a different God each time (I didn’t play Knorne) there would seem to be a slight biases to Nurgle whit Knorne coming second the last places is normal a tossup however it is possible for no one to win. This doesn’t mean that you can have fun playing, this is a game for grown up and therefore can’t we all agree it a game and about having fun and whit this game you really can there hardly been a round let alone a game whit out laughter, all in all this is great game and one you can happy play many, many times over.

Wow

2009-12-12T02:21:00.002Z

From fantasy flight games website

"On the thirteenth day of Secundus, the bombardment began…

In the greatest betrayal the universe has ever known, the Warmaster Horus – once humanity’s greatest general, now corrupted by Chaos – has turned against the Emperor and hurled the Imperium of Man into ferocious civil war. The galactic conflict has risen to its climax. The Warmaster’s ruinous legions have assaulted Holy Terra itself, the Emperor’s seat. Here the fate of humanity hangs in the balance during the greatest military campaign ever seen...

Fantasy Flight Games is proud to announce an exciting new board game set to bombard your tabletop later this winter!

In the Horus Heresy board game, the most legendary battle in the history of the Warhammer 40,000 universe unfolds across the razed plains of Terra and in the frozen orbit above. Deadly fighting ranges from the Emperor’s golden Inner Palace to Horus’s flagship, the Vengeful Spirit.

Taking the side of traitor or loyalist, two players control either fearless Space Marine legions or deviant Chaos Space Marines, mighty Titans, Imperial Armies both loyal and traitorous, and a fearsome array of other units, including the Emperor and Horus themselves.

An innovative order and initiative system forces each side to carefully consider the commands they issue to their troops. A dramatic, card-driven combat system incorporates escalating damage, gives players the opportunity to allocate resources between attack and defense, and brings to bear the unique special powers of each unit type, from fortification-destroying Titans to the perverse daemons of Chaos.

This legendary tale of treachery and heroism is brought to vibrant life with over one hundred magnificent sculpted plastic playing pieces. The stunning three-dimensional map of Terra brilliantly portrays the landscape immediately surrounding the Imperial Palace, from the magma-filled crevasses to the fortifications that offer the Imperial player protection against both enemy assault and orbital bombardments.

Each one of these structures, as well as the Imperial Palace itself, have been expertly sculpted, and rise above the landscape to create a truly immersive experience. The fortifications of Terra have never looked more formidable! Once the board is set up with playing pieces and terrain for your first game, it will be a wonder to behold.

Horus Heresy includes six scenarios that differ in both difficulty and style. The first scenario, titled Brother Against Brother, is recommended for all new players as it provides predetermined starting locations for both player's forces. It is a well balanced version of the Battle for Terra, and also presents a roughly historical recreation of the conflict's events.

Head over to our Description Page to learn more, then prepare yourself for a battle that will shake the Imperium to its very core!

Horus Heresy is a board game that pits two players against each other to recreate the most famous battle of Warhammer 40,000’s rich history, in which the Warmaster Horus’s betrayal of the Emperor comes to its climax. Taking the side of either traitor or loyalist, players control a fearsome array of units, including the Emperor and Horus themselves. Brother fights brother, and the universe hangs in the balance!"

Great file purge 2009

2009-12-04T10:53:00.002Z

From doingdoing, "Game publisher and miniature manufacturer Games Workshop just sent a cease and desist letter to boardgamegeek.com, telling them to remove all fan-made players' aids. This includes scenarios, rules summaries, inventory manifests, scans to help replace worn pieces -- many of these created for long out of print, well-loved games."

This isn’t the first time GW have attacked their fans, a short time back they had a go at Librarium Online (read about that here), that was a little different as they argued that Librarium was making money from GW copy righted stuff.

Thant not want I want to say thought, it this Games Workshop don’t you see that the vast majority of your fan are that fan the type of people that will give up lodes of their free time to come player aids, to help others, maybe Games Workshop don’t get it that sites like those they have attacked help then, take for example the mystery box when news of that broke I know someone that booked the time off work to get down to a GW and pick one up. I’m not saying that anyone should make money of GW copyrights (other than GW) but whit out the internet and the play aids it gives use a lot of people would fine GW games a lot less fun.

What can we as fans do well I’m not too sure, but maybe if we all sent an email explaining that play aids are a good thing and don’t hurt there biasness it would be a start.

A Scientist at War

2009-12-03T11:55:00.003Z

50th post and time for something diffrent.

In June 1940 my grandfather volunteered for the forces. Chemists were too valuable to be put on the front lines, and thus he found himself supervising the very dangerous manufacture of Cordite and Nitroglycerine. In October 2009, my godfather Kirk and I[Glyn] set out to re-trace his steps, and took an HD movie camera with us. I've taken the footage along with period film, audio and recently discovered period photographs to make a short documentary which you can watch on youtube.

If anyone has their own family story they want to share then please email or comment.

New Stuff! The Beastmen arrive!

2009-11-14T16:49:00.003Z

Hello dear readers.

Here is some news about the beastmen, arriving to us in Feb 2010. The cover art looks pretty good in my opinion and I hope the army list is just as good.

This, however, causes some issues for me in the new year. Do I go for my nids in Jan, or buy all the new models that should be released with this in Feb. I have a feeling the beastmen may win this one...

Comments away! What do you want to see in this army book?

Hello Dear Readers!

This is a brief post, mostly for a update.

Things have been pretty slow on this blog for a while, and that is mainly because I lost my internet connection, therefore I could not post.

The others who post on the blog are having some personal issues, and I hope that you are patient.

Thats all for now, I should be posting more often from now on.

Carly.

Ok, when I started with this I whanted a strong theam so I when whit the Space Hulk (I must metion here in pasing the great set of Maths Hulk atrices here.) I wanted thing that would work in othere seting and go well whit my Blood Ageles and Sterler cult army, so I went thougt the the space hulk book and came up with the idaer of primter defens section a tented tecmarines and a control point.

hope you like and dont forget to vote (for me).

And the next photo is by Carly, and heres a few words:

'Well what I was aiming for was a small section of a chaos emcampment. The havoc launcher was being used as a defensive piece. The sign is a sign showing where the start of a minefield, though the mines are more small daemonic pools. The marker on the right is a searchlight, that has been mutated to be able to move around. This is so that it could patrol around the outstirks of the emcampment with the marker on the far left. The marker is a small daemon, teamed with the searchlight so it can attack anyone that the team find. These markers are very much a defensive set of markers.

Well, thats it. Only two entries. So we have deicided to extend the competition so that more people can enter. So, here is what is going to happen. The two enteries that have been emailed in will be put up for voting now. If anyone would like to enter then please feel free to email your markers but of course, this will mean that your entry shall be put up after the other two and may have less chance of being voted for.

But its all for fun so join in!

Hobby areas continued

2009-09-23T18:53:00.003+01:00

I’d like to thank Carly for her piece on her hobby space it gave me a fab idea, I am naming and shaming my fiancée as the messiest gamer ever! About 3 months a friend of ours moved to America lending some of his warhammer models to my fella, unfortunately he has yet to sort all of it out and my spare room is unusable. So what I want from you is some encouragement so he will finally restore my spare room to a useable state.

l
I will give you an update when I can.
Thank you.

Hobby areas

2009-09-23T13:01:00.001+01:00

Hello Dear Readers!

Today I would like to talk to you about hobby areas. I know that with the many different armies that I have, along with all the paint, the modelling tools and then terrain on top of that, a large area to keep it in is just as needed as the equipment needed to play.

So I thought I would run you through my hobby area.

So here it is. My two bookshelves under my stairs. And the small area to the right, full of big cases.

Ok, the top left shelf is for 40K. On there I have boxes full of both Chaos Space Marines and Tyranids on there along with some plastic cups and bowl to use while paiting.

The top right shelf is all the painting / modelling equipment with basing being in one corner, then the cans of spray paint, then the big shoe box is full of pots of paints and my paint brushes and the cat food box is full of things like clippers, pin vice and some files.

The middle left shelf is a terrain shelf, which only currently holds the Temple of the Skulls kit and the Battlescape Kit. Both is currently unpainted since I am doing some conversion work on them.

The middle right shelf is fanasty and the big box is some of my Lizardmen leading onto loads of spures that I havent put into the correct bits bags yet.

The bottom left shelf is my specialist games collection. On there I have the LOTRs starter box set, a expansion for Necromanda called Outlanders and in the boxes in the corner is skaven for mordheim, a chaos fleet for BFG, and also a chaos army for Epic.

The bottom right shelf is mostly books with another box of terrain. That box mainly holds the BoM terrain and the old buildings that use to come with the guard battleforce.

In the space directly under the stairs there are three GW big cases. The grey one holds my Chaos Space Marines, the red one hold the rest of my Lizardmen and the black one hold my Beast of Chaos. The smaller black case at close to the front is a non GW case for the rest of my Nids. On top of the three GW cases, there is the Vindicator Line breaker box, which is now my Bitz Box, holding all the spare bits I have for my army. Behind that is a brown box, holding more terrian, mainly mordheim. At the very front of the pic, next to the Non GW case, theres a Chaos Space Marine box set, and that contains the last of my army.

So there we have it! Please feel free to comment, but I would be very interested in seeing your hobby areas and what you have in yours. So please post away!

A good reason why Games Workshop pin vices are a good thing to have.

2009-09-22T01:44:00.004+01:00

Ok this is not entirely warhammer related but my 9 month cat got his head stuck in a can of cat food, it was a hour after we fed him that we noticed so my hubby used a pin vice to drill a few holes in it so he could breath and then we took him to the vets so we could get the tin off. My cat is fine now but the pin vice really helped thank you GW!

He is the all black cat and is so happy to be free so he’s licking his little brother.

Nids continued

2009-09-07T20:39:00.005+01:00

Hello Dear Readers.

I have decided to keep dropping some pics of my nids when I finish painting up a batch. Today I spent a large section of the day painting my four Zonathropes that I have. Below are the pics of the new design.

Enjoy!

Help with creating rules

2009-09-02T21:12:00.002+01:00

Hello Dear Readers

A friend of mine has asked for me to post up some rules he is creating for a gun called the Hurricane Anti - infantry battery.

So here is what he has come up with so far.

Hurricane Anti-infantry Battery

Type: Battery F:10 S:11 R:11

Crew: WS/BS/S/T/I - 3 LD – 7 Sv - 5+

Hurricane anti-infantry batteries are constructed from spare imperial weaponry and scavenged pre-war components. They are mobile gun platforms, operated by a two-man crew, and can be rapidly deployed to hold down strategic positions on the battlefield. Hurricanes are armed with a battery of six twin-linked bolters with a 45-degree arc of fire: ideal for thinning out or mowing down squads of enemy infantry.

Hurricane Battery Damage Table:
1 - Crew stunned
2 - Crew shaken
3 - Weapon Immobilised (Cannot move or pivot)
4 - Weapon Damaged: No longer twin-linked.
5 - Weapon Disabled: Cannot move or fire. Crew survives
6 - Vehicle Explodes

SPECIAL RULES

Open topped Vehicle
The crew must remain in base-to-base contact with the Hurricane at all times, and thus gain the protection of the armor. The crew cannot be independently targeted, but must remain with the Hurricane. If it is destroyed (5+ on the damage table), they may move and fire their lasguns as independent units. Both weapon and crew must be destroyed to gain a kill-point. These rules specifically only apply to the crew. No other unit can “board” the Hurricane or take advantage of its armour in this way.

Towing Bar:
The Hurricane battery can be freely towed by a dedicated Rhino transport, or other small imperial tank or ground transport (not including Land Raiders, Super-heavy tanks, Speeders, or Bikes). The two-man crew rides on the battery, and does not take up slots in the tractor’s transport capability.

Heavy Weapon:
Hurricanes can be moved manually by their gun crews up to a maximum of 6” per turn. The battery cannot be moved and fired in the same turn, although it can be freely pivoted 360 degrees.

Hold the Line:
Hurricane batteries and their crew are specifically designed to defend strategic positions, and thus counts as a scoring unit when holding objectives.

WARGEAR

Hurricane Bolters:
Six twin-linked bolters, fired as a single weapon.

Extra Armour: 20pts
The Hurricane battery gains a permanent –1 modifier when rolling against the gun’s damage table.

So Readers! What kind of points costs should this gun have? Are the rules balanced? And what is missing, if anything? Post away! Let your creative side flow!

Carly.

Painting Tyranids: My Scheme.

2009-09-02T19:11:00.018+01:00

Hello dear readers!

This is a day later than expected because of techinical difficulties. But now that is sorted, pics of Nids shall be given!

Now, what I had planned for the bank holiday weekend was to try and repaint as many of my Nids as I could. But due to not properly planning (meaning I ran out of black spray and Bleached Bone) I could only really do a few of them. And those where Genestealers mainly. And my Brood Nest. But not to worry! After a day shopping yesterday I am now well stocked!

So, why did I decide to change my paint scheme? Because my original Nids looked pants. I'm not too sure if this one looks any better, but at least its something different for the next few years. Before we go on, I would like to say that I am not trying to win any award for this paint scheme or my painting. I'm just trying to get a army repainted in a short period of time. I have a deadline for the army to be completed and that is the 19th of September. Because my friend said I couldnt buy anything else until I got all this painted. So I probably shouldn't tell him about the battlescape terrain piece I brought yesterday.

But moving on, this is how I originally painted my Nids.

I decided to go with the white paint scheme because I was going for the whole ice world look. I even did the bases with the snow basing.

Now, the first thing I did was remove the basing from the models and then sprayed them with Chaos Black. After I painted them models with two layers of bleached bone. One coat just didnt cut it.

After the two coats of the Bleached bone, I applied a layer of Devlan Mud to give the model a more dirty look.

After the ink was dried and settled, I applied a coat of Blood Red over the sections that I wanted to stand out on the models. I also applied a coat of Mechrite Red to the brood nest to help show more of the detail on the model.

It was after this stage that I added a wash of Badab black wash lightly to the red sections to make them alittle darker and more natural. I also added baal Red to the brood nest to add some more detail to it.

I havent finished the brood nest yet, I am unsure what to do for the base.

So there we have it, my new paint scheme for my Nids!

Please comment, make suggestions or ask questions!

Carly.

Planetstrike

2009-08-21T22:34:00.007+01:00

Hello Dear readers!

I have to apologise, I have been super busy the last couple of weeks so that is why I haven't made a review and why this review is all about Planetstrike and not games. But never mind, next week should be back on track. So... PLANETSTRIKE! I know most people have already done this review but here in Lampy Land we are behind the times, so just read and enjoy!

Ok, first of all, the overall layout of the book. Well I think the layout is pretty good with the book being broken down into 5 sections explaining how to organise a battle, the stratagems available, campaigns and missions, glorious assaults and infamous invasions. Each of these sections have sub sections in them but the sections are easy to find.

The first section, organising a battle, explains how Planetstrike differs from a normal game of 40K. This in itself is broken down into 10 steps, called the planetstrike launcher procedure. Now this is just really what to do when starting a game of Planetstrike like choosing who is going to be the attacker and the defender, who sets up the battlefield, choosing the objectives, then picking the stratagems and how to determine who has won. The most obvious difference to Planetstrike than normal 40K is the fact that the attacker gets Firestorm. Firestorm is a ordnance barrage meant to represent the force present in orbit of the planet being attacked.

Moving on to the stratagems in the second main section, which gives the defender and the attacker advantages in the game. There are a good three to four pages in the book for each the attacker and the defender, plus a couple more pages for army specific stratagems. Though i think these are a nice idea and can add some variety to the game, I personally found them not to be as useful as I first thought, though perhaps in later games they will come more into their own.

In the campaigns and missions section, there are campaigns and missions. There are six missions within the Planetstrike book, each one gives the attacker and defender a overview, something to aim for. As well as this there are some special rules used only in those missions were specified, sometimes giving the attacker or the defender another slight advantage. There is one paragraph on how to run a campaign and it seems to only cover the basics and the obvious. Personally I think this could have been a bigger section.

Glorious assaults is the fluff section of the book, giving a semi - detailed timeline about the more well know battles that have happened in the world of 40K. This then leads on to a couple of the battles being explored in much more detail, with one of them having a small map of how the battle went.

The last section, Infamous Invasions is mainly a show case of what games the staff of Games Workshop have played, with a few full page pictures, showing the new terrain available. There are also some pages dedicated to the different formations that different races are know for having, such as the Ultra Marines Spear of Sicarius.

Throughout the whole book, there are colour and black and white pictures and sketches, some of the terrain pieces and gaming tables, but others of cinematic art pieces of the different armies battling it out.

Overall, I think this book is worth buying. The quality you get for the price is good, and the fluff section is pretty interesting.

Of course, I'm not saying that the game will be any good, but the book gets a thumbs up from me.

News From The Front Line: Forge World Latest

2009-08-08T02:56:00.008+01:00

Hear that far off sound, the slow grunt and clatter of scores of servo assisted suite coming for you, that right my friend the Ordo Malleus are here, and to opposes the demons they so fervently seek.

The final part of Forge World The Siege of Vraks is now available to pre-order, after reading the contents, it look as if the book will mainly demons vs hunters there are a few unit mention that I’v not come across before.

Red Hunters (probably a Space Marine Chapter, or maybe subset of the Demon Hunters)

Terminator
Tactical squad (oddly this is listed twice in the contents)

General Imperial Forces

Minotaur (a new super-heavy would be my bet)
Valdor Tank Hunter (I’m hoping for something relay cool her my an Imperial Guard equivalent to Ork tankbusters)

Chaos scum

Necrosius (all im willing to guess about this is that it Nurgle, but if I had to make something up I would love to see a unit that attack could turn it target in a zombie type unit under chaos control it thing this would be exstra cool is they keep what ever wargear they had been given, hmm Im might try wright up some rules)
Gorefeaster (BLOOD for the blood God)
Jibberjaw (This just sounds like unpleasant nick name for someones half craze uncle)
There also a host of name charters .

All 3 book cost £130 and come whit free P+P that a saving of £7.16 WOW, but the others a very good well I think so, and I see no reason why this last one should not be just as good.

It odd but it often seem to me that Forge World do better fiction than Black Library hay ho, enough of my wittering I would love you guys to leave your own thought in the form of comments.

Dr Who Gamingtable part 1

2009-07-30T14:08:00.000+01:00

The board we’re going into make for Gamesday is going to be build up by so may people that it will not be very personal to me, and so to compensate for this every detail of this board will be based on some place I feel a conation too.

The Dr Who come with some grate cardstock building using this I going to make up ruined industrial slum, the board is going tell the story of an 1960’s ish industrial town two week after the Darkle invasion of earth, all building will be heavy damage from the first attack, and because its important for Dr who they must all come off the board when damage.

There now plans on paper but I have a picture of I want in my head, I have try to draw something but it not happening.

Anyway here is all the stuff I got from the skips I’ve got more but this is all I need for now.

Some pipe

MDF

Fiberglas board.

I wanted a bit of pipe to a bridge a stream running thought the middle so I staked it all so I knew where to cut.

The fibber board was very easy to cut and shape whit a saw I nailed the bottom to the top to holed it all to gather.

When I was happy with what I had the I stared to shape the land, the road was carved out (most road are lower than the land) and shape the hill and the banks of the stream.

To keep the hill in places I pined it whit wooden sticks and stared to cover in papier-mâché it will need a good few coats to give the soft (and itch) Fiberglas board a hard skin that can be painted, here what I have so far.

Summary.

Cost= £2.74

Here at Lampeter Wargames Society we are hoping to make a lager games table to take to Gamesday 2010, one of the things I like most about wargames is building terrain, I made a few lager pieces in the past but never a hole table before, so I thought that I should, the plan had been bouncing around my head for a bit, so after paying attention to local builder skips I got some stuff that that I’m hoping to turn in to a Gaming table for Dr. Who Invention Earth, the game is different to those done by GW and so the table has to be a little different but more about that latter, any way here a few pics I going to go in to more detail latter.

Review: Slayer of the Storm God and Black Library

2009-07-18T10:31:00.004+01:00

The Book: 8/10

Black Library: FAIL/10

So where to begin? Before I get on to Black Library latest audio book I want to talk about audio book in general, as it seem some people Black Library amongst them don’t get it. An audio book is just that a book in audio form they get call all sorts of other thing to book on tape, speaking book, recorded book and talking book it doesn’t really matter what you call them they mean the same thing (just a normal book but whit sound not words). So if it just a normal book why are they better than the type you read? In many ways there not, book for me is about imagination, being there a the centre of things being full immersed in the story, it says on the cover of one Black Library Book (The Saint I think) “so real you will duck” this then bring me on to my problem with books the two Gaunts Ghost” omnibus took me about eight moths to read, that doing a half an hour a day at the least I would have thought, I have dyslexia, and this really slow down my reading which a bitch because I love reading I can happy spend all day reading, I just don’t get very far.

I should at this point out that I have never read any other Warhammer let alone other of the Slayer books so this was the first for me. It must be hard to wrights a short story, there no time to introduces the people or the places particular when, they have been so well setup before in other book, the game and alike, one of the thing iv seen be for in 40k book I read is that each person whether there a righter on Black Library staff a game designer with an office in Nottingham or a fan/player of there work, each one had a different take on how thing should be, all this complexity has to be unravelled by an author but for any attempt can be made to put there own stamp on things and 75 min isn’t a long time to do all this. Nathan Long did all this and did it well partly because of this book I now have an empire army, at time I feel that the plot when from one fight scene to another whit little in-between but all in all the story was a good one very griping edge of the seat type of stuff.

Full of action sometimes to full the story takes places is Empire port city full of drunken revilers come to take part in religious carnival, but bellow the suffices something dark stirs, the evil of the Storm God and his fisheye followers, the follower seem all most to have taken from the crew of the Flying Dutchman in Pirates Of The Caribbean, it agenised these foes that the hoers pit themselves after unwittingly angering them.

My problem begins where there the story end almost, this audio book is more of what I would call a Radio play, thought out the book there is background noise any music things like sword clashing in the fight scenes or a cloak in a study, this it must be said really upset me, but the odd thing is in places this dose work. The problem is this Slayer is an Epic adventure written to be an audio book, it job is not to help fan that might fine reading hard, but to attract people to what has already been written, as a confirmation of this look at the books they done all ones that fit into a bigger picture there hearys range or what looks to be another Blood Angles (that ones out soon a review just as soon as I can).

When they did there first audio book I sent an e-mail asking if there was any likelihood of there current book being made into audio book, there answers was clear they didn’t plan on it, nor could they see it happening, this I feel is a big disappointment, I wish Back Library would do at leas one full length book one that’s already out, and someone really should start to get the rules out in an Audio form.

To retell this story on the table top you would probably be best using Mordheim rules.

Orks vs. Brotherhood of Steel

2009-07-03T11:08:00.010+01:00

Game: Annihilation

Setup: Spearhead

The scenario: A Brotherhood of Steel armoured column is ambushed by a fast-moving Ork attack force.

Da Orks: As the first reports come to him that once more the Brotherhood are changing forward Wazzdakka Gutzmek bellows at the top of his lungs even drowning out the noise of engines and guns from the near by race track, the ork of his camp stop there sport, and race to there mounts.

The first to leave the camp at Wazzdakka side are a the fearsome Nob bikers, two units of warbikes counting as troops thanks to wazzdakka special rule three warbuggise, the only foot slogers were a unit of Tankbusters allthougt there were in a truk two units of three Deathkopptas as so came one stay whit the main force and one scouting around to try and fine a week spot in the foe amour. As most of his camp fights around the fuel tank wazzdakka screams out knowing that his force could deal whit any threat.

The Brotherhood: Led by Elder Lyons, the majority of the strength of the Brotherhood forces was vested in their three tanks, a Land-Raider Redeemer “Ironclad” with two Flamestorm cannons, a Land-Raider Ultima, with its five lascannon batteries, and a Vindicator “Iron Duke”, armed with its mighty demolisher cannon. The armour was accompanied by two tactical squads of space marines from 2^nd platoon, each wielding a lascannon.

Deployment: Having achieved total surprise, the Orks deployed their forces as far forward as possible, in orde

r to minimise the time in which the Brotherhood could bring their lascannons to bear. The Brotherhood split their two tactical marines into four combat squads, and positioned their tanks as best they could to screen them from the oncoming Ork Horde. Elder Lyons immediately took personal command of one combat squad, and issued orders for the oth

er three to take cover as best they could.

Ork Turn 1: The ork bikers charged, the Deathkopters unleashing a volley of rocket-fire that caught the vindicator “Iron Duke” unawares, destroying it before it could fire a single shot in a mighty explosion that halved a nearby tactical combat squad.

Brotherhood Turn 1: The engines of the Land-Raider Redeemer “Ironclad” roared into life, and it rumbled head-long into the advancing Ork lines. Its twin Flamestorm cannons barbequing the squad of Ork tank busters, and detonating the fuel tank of the great Ork Truck. The handful of tank busters who survived the inferno broke and ran for the hills. Hatches popped open all around “Iron Clad”, and out poured Lyons with his combat squad. Their hail of bolter and melta fire made short work of one of the two warbuggys. The other was soon taken down by Lascannon fire from their distant brothers sheltering in a ruined building. Shrapnel from the warbuggy lacerated one of the fleeing tank busters, leaving the area around Lyons clear.

Ork Turn 2: The Brotherhood jubilation was short lived. Reserve Deathcopters burst from the bushes, outflanking the beleaguered combat squads. At point blank range, the Orks fired a devastatingly accurate volley of rocket fire [ed: Rob rolled six bloody sixes!!!] that destroyed the Land-raider Ultima. Ork bikers from the main force closed the distance, scything in at Elder Lyons, confident of victory. The squad held their ground, and soon the ground was piled high with dead Ork Bikers, and the scrap metal that had been their mounts. However, there was no time for celebration. In a great cloud of exhaust fumes, the Warboss Wazdakka Gutsmek and his Nob bikes scythed in at the Redeemer “Iron Clad”. Their furious attack detonated the last of the Brotherhood armour.

Brotherhood Turn 2: With his forces dwindling, Lyons knew that the day was lost. What little fire the remaining combat squads could muster failed to kill a single Ork. Needing victories, Lyons chased down the fleeing tank busters and finished them off.

Ork Turn 3: Faced with complete annihilation, the Brotherhood could do little but watch as the Ork horde

s roared towards them, screaming “WAAAGH!!”. Deathcopters made short work of two of the remaining combat squads. Suddenly, a roar came from overhead as the Brotherhood’s Valkyrie “Able Mabel” finally appeared on the battlefield. It valiantly entered hover mode, laying down a carpet of covering fire against the warboss so that Elder Lyons and his squad could live to fight another day. Rockets screa

med around “Able Mabel”, some smashing at the hull, disabling its lascannon.

Brotherhood Turn 3: Lyons and his squad ran a mad dash for the safety of“Able Mabel”, Ork warbikes close on their heels. They just made it, the hatches slamming shut putting armour between them and the outside world. “Able Mabel” unleashed avolley of fire, failing to kill a single Nob biker, before it roared off into the sky.

In the turns that followed, the Orks finished off the last of the brotherhood combat squads, as the “Able Mabel” made as many strafing runs as it could before its fuel and ammunition ran short.

Result: Total Ork Victory!

Man of the Mach: Mek Skybiter

Flying his beloved Koppta, Skybiter once more took the battle to the foe, leading Da Wapz squadron. The skill of his command was well show when they opening shots blasted apart the armour the of the Landraider that they had sneaked up on.

Seeing the way that there last Landraider had been treated by the now approaching Koppat the Combat Squads opened up whit all they could before being total wiped out the Brotherhood swatted two of the Wapz leaving only Skybiter to tell the tale.

2009-07-02T12:47:00.005+01:00

Summer Wargames.

As a club we have in the past had hoodies made up, next year I was thinking of doing something a little different, as we play lots of different stymied the one constant seem to be that all use D6’s so why not have some personalised D6’s* made up after a bit of research I started to send of some emails.

For more info have a look here.

Subject: Custom Dice for local club

Hi,

I am writing on behalf of my local wargames club we have a few questions about your custom dice. Firstly how much would it cost to get the dice posted to the UK? We are talking about 48 D6's and secondly could we get the dice in different colors?

Look forward to hearing from you,

Many thanks

Rob.

Many Thanks

Hello again,

What sort of custom work were they interested in getting? Did they just want 16mm d6 with a single customized face? If so, the price would be $.75 USD per die (Don charges 1:1 with the EURO). Shipping to the UK for this size of order would be $26.00 USD via International Airmail with insurance.

I can definitely mix colors for the dice as long as the design is the same on all of the dice involved. I can supply them with a color list once I know what sort of custom work they want done and which face of the dice they want the image on.

Do they have a design ready? If so, feel free to forward it over and I will work up a sample for them.
