It's new army time all round - I finally get to take my Chaos Daemons for a spin, and they'll be pitted against local opponent Rapid's shiny new Necrons (only sixty million years on the clock).

Mandible to Mandible: Mantis Warriors vs Tyranids

Warhammer 40k battle report - Chapter Approved 2019 - Eternal War -  Tactical Ascension - 1500 points - Tyranids vs Mantis Warriors
"Was this supposed to be open?"

New models, new rules, a new year and a new hope - time for my first 40K of 2020! What better than to pitch the freshly painted Mantis Warriors against the Tyranids, and who better than to pitch against than Stylus?

Someone who knows about the White Scars supplement would be my guess, but I'm game!

The Lost and the Damned: Death Guard vs Thousand Sons

We've had this in the calendar for months. We had a table booked at Bristol Independent Gaming. But then Storm Ciara arrived and disrupted our travel plans.

Warhammer 40k battle report - Maelstrom of War -  Schemes of War - 2000 points - Thousand Sons vs Death Guard

Not to be beaten by mere weather, Stylus volunteered to host a Skype battle, so the forces of Pootle's Nurgle Warband, The Second Law, could fight Stylus's Thousand Sons: the Court of Miracles.


The storm shan't stop our play: it's all-Skype fight day!

Head Detachment


Lady mantises are famous for eating the heads of their mates. Exactly the kind of reputation you want for your all-male leaders in 40K, I think.

The Dark Tower: Thousand Sons vs Raven Guard

"Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there wondering, fearing,
Doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before...

Warhammer 40k battle report - Maelstrom of War -  Covert Manoeuvres - 2000 points - Thousand Sons vs Raven Guard

With brand-new psychic shenanigans in hand, my Thousand Sons will be taking on a Primaris Raven Guard army. Only the sneakiest shall survive!
