Yeaah Ratfans!


Obviously, social distancing is what most of us hobby types practice anyway. But it has still increased my productivity this month.

How To Play Warhammer Over Skype

I've had a few requests about how we play our games of Warhammer over Skype.

How to play games of Warhammer 40k over Skype.
+++ My noosphere is buffering! +++

The Prisoner of Azkriman: Thousand Sons vs Space Wolves & Adeptus Mechanicus

Our Hunt for Ahriman narrative campaign continues. And like Rocky and Star Trek before us, we're pulling out all the stops for part IV

Thousand Sons vs Space Wolves & Adeptus Mechanicus - 1500pts - Sabotage - Narrative mission from Warhammer 40,000

Conscious thought returned. 

Ahriman opened his eyes. Hard light blared into them. It was cold and harsh, painful. An irregular crackling noise, half whine, half static, assaulted his ears. 

He was suspended in a sphere, inlaid with a knotwork of cables, pipes and dials. Skulls stared emptily down on him from each intersection of the elaborate maze. He squinted against the hail of light and sound, trying to make sense of it. Where was he?

The Ninth Gate: Shooting

This is the Ninth Gate, my hapless attempts to predict what 9th Ed 40K might bring us! Remember - I've got an excellent track record for wrong-headedness.

This time round, it's the Shooting Phase. Pew pew pew! We'll also look at wounding mechanics, because they usually first crop up in the round when the gunning starts.

The Green Zone: Mantis Warriors vs Purge and Nurgle Daemons

Time for a fight! Pootle has a new table to show off, and I'm happy to oblige by attempting to wipe him off it!

Unusual battle cries #17: "You don't stand a chance: I've got two different base colours on me; neither of you are even undercoated!"


Three colours? Not quite!
But it's still Skype Fight Night!
