Ardera IV Campaign #1

Inspired by the WWII campaign on Grid-based Wargaming blog, I have started a Memoir 40k campaign of my own. In the blog post, which can be seen here, a front line is created on a gridded map and the amount of sections I by the enemy decides the amount of supplies each army has. Campaign

Battle over the Malcador river

Following on from my last post, here is a quick update on my memoir 40k narrative campaign. As an ork force tied up the space marines reserves at the Ormffidian river forks, they struck out to secure the bridges over the Malcador river. In this scenario, I decided to play using the more traditional victory

Painting Decemb-uary 2017-18

As I have most definitely been in gaming mode during most of December, I needed something to get my head back into a little bit of painting. Fortunately Azazel has come to the rescue with his Decemb-uary Painting Challenge. This Decemb-uary I shall be mostly painting an Iron Eagles dreadnought… This particular model is actually

Memoir ’40k

Tac Epic I have been settling in to my new gaming room rather nicely over the past couple of weeks and it’s given me the opportunity to spend some time playing more games, including a fair amount of solo play and games designing. I have been adapting the basic rules ideas from Richard Borg’s excellent

Space Crusade – Solo Recon

Recon Having some time on my hands on friday evening, I decided to set up and play a solo variation of Space Crusade, using a few rules I had devised to supplement the core rules. After securing a bridge-head (mission #1) upon the Ork hulk, the Iron Eagles sent a task force, lead by venerable

Space Crusaders

I have mentioned several times in the past of my fondness for the old board game Space Crusade. I have played many hours using both the core game and even making up my own scenarios, including rules for all sorts of other miniatures in my collection. I also have a copy of the White Dwarf

Space Hulk

“A spiral of kaleidoscopic colours coalesced in the void, a violent outburst of warp energies exploding forth into real space. It grew with surprising rapidity until vomiting out a monolithic conglomeration of spaceships of varying origins, some of human construction, many more of a distinctly xenos design and all fused together by the insane vagaries of

Hell’s Bells!

“From a realm of chaos and madness they came, aberrations and madmen, vomited forth from hell with nothing upon their insidious minds but slaughter and desecration. They were legion and no mortal force could stand in their way…” As I mentioned in my earlier post, I procured a copy of Warhammer Quest: Shadows Over Hammerhal

Battle Cries & Rebel Yells

As well as all the other projects I’ve been detailing on this very blog over the past couple of weeks, I have been up to my neck in static grass and flock whilst making a terrain board on which to play Battle Cry using my 10mm American Civil War miniatures. Battle Cry is a hex-based miniatures

Kickstarting Normandie

On one of my frequent strolls around the interweb, I happened upon this rather interesting Kickstarter… Needless to say I was quite taken with this cover art and delved a little deeper to find out more. Heroes of Normandie is the brain-child of French company Devils Pig Games, influenced by Hollywood movies (and I imagine Comic books such as Commando) this war
