Dakkarigged to Blow: Orks vs Tyranids




All aliens all the time - it's a double Xenos throw-down as Pootle tests the waters of eleventh edition.

Manouvers in the Jimulthuan Quadrant: IV


Ever faster, ever more violent, the war had grown in size and scope to encompass almost every system in the quadrant.

My Deoderant Stank


For those who remember, there are few things more iconic from Rogue Trader days than the famous "deoderant tank"...

Metal Boxing Glove: Necrons vs Ultramarines

 

Pootle here! I realised recently that I've only managed to play one game in 10th edition with my Necrons (though that was a cracker against WintersSEO's 13th). Before the edition disappears I fancied running them one last time and Kraken heroically stepped in to help me out.

Unstoppable vs Immovable: White Scars vs Death Guard

Warhammer 40k 10th edition: White Scars vs Death Guard.

Pootle here with a write-up of my last game of 10th edition. Stylus and I are playing out another game in the Jimulthuan Quadrant: this time an armoured column of Death Guard on their way to besiege the Ultramarines' HQ on Bagot Prime have been ambushed by the White Scars...

It is the Caped Blue-Sader? It is Macho Libre? Is it Dark Garfield?

Black Hole Sunz: Raven Guard vs Orks


Pootle here! I'm kicking off my actions in the next phase of the campaign with a new army (for me). My fleet has moved to the Transcaridian Docks and will attempt a planetary invasion against jhnlk's Xenos; I’ve chosen to defend this planet with a new army for me - Orks! I've decided to use my son's Raven Guard for the first time, so it's new armies for both of us.

Blood Bowl: The Reckoning

 


It's a game of two halves. One of them was a goblin, we aren't sure about the other.

But only one Professor, so that's where hard work and education gets you.

Hang 'Em High

The bangingest box of models GW put out in a while, there was never a question in my mind as to whether I'd get the Necromunda Hangers On. The question was 'when', and the answer was 'as soon as they were back in stock.'

When Life Gives You Renegs, Make Renegade: Chaos Space Marines vs Space Marines

Warhammer 40k battle report - 10th Edition - Alpha Legion vs Mantis Warriors
