A Pause for Breath

 

With tenth edition almost upon us, I found myself thinking about which were my favourite games of 40k since I got back into the hobby back in late 2018. 

The Rotten Horror Picture Show: Tyranids vs Death Guard

 

Here they come, walking down the street, get the funniest looks from, everyone they eat...

Pootle here with an advert for my YouTube debut against Winters! It was an absolutely cracking game and I can't recommend enough that you head on over to take a look.

Final Fight II: Mantis Warriors vs Tyranids

 

Turns out I lied - there was time for another game before Tenth hits!

Final Fight: Astra Militarum vs Tyranids

 

One last time into that breach!

Fly, Fly and Fly Again: Space Marines vs Death Guard

Pootle here, with a training mission for my Death Guard force, the Second Law, ahead of an upcoming game against Winters. I've not played with the Death Guard in a while and want a run-out with a specific list; Kraken has volunteered to lead a force to take them on.

Weekend at Burnie’s 4 - Day 2: Black Legion vs Death Guard

Ghock Hackfiend stormed into Gormenghastly's quarters, "Why do you delay? There is blood to be spilt in Khorne's name and I refuse to wait for you to conjour up your new diseases!"

Gormenghastly the Garrotter shook his head pityingly, "I will kill more with my perfected toxins than you can ever dream of. You may have slaughtered thousands in Khorne's name, but millions have died choking on their own vomit and gasping for one last breath due to my concoctions in Nurgle's honour.

"In fact, my intelligence shows an opportunity for both of us to profit. I hear that the famed warband, The End of All Things have come to Hendris. You will enjoy killing the favoured of Nurgle, and I need something special from their leader."

Pootle here with a report of my final battle from this year's Weekend at Burnies, facing the mighty Winters SEO!

Weekend at Burnie’s 4 - Day 2: Black Legion vs Necrons

 

Pootle again with the third of my four battles at Weekend at Burnies. This time my Black Legion faced Crashoverride's Necrons.

Weekend at Burnie’s 4 - Day 1: Black Legion vs Tyranids

 

Pootle here again with a write-up of my second battle at Weekend at Burnie's against WrathofConstantine's gorgeous metallic Nids.

Weekend at Burnie’s 4 - Day 1: Black Legion vs White Scars

Pootle here! Last year I beat Stylus in getting my batreps for Weekend at Burnies written up, but he's much quicker out of the blocks this year so I'm playing catch-up.

Unstoppable force versus immovable object 

We're Cult in a Trap: Mantis Warriors vs Genestealer Cults

 

The Genestealer Cult army is ready - better unleash it!

Last Primarch Standing: Imperium vs Chaos

 It had to be done.

Get Ynn the Back of the Van: Custodes vs Ynnari

Fight night! 

Nampo is still out on campaign, desperately trying to catch up to his stolen command and get it back from the Alpha Legion. Having fallen foul of the Custodes as he tries to get off Drawbridge, he's got some apologising to do...

Weekend at Burnie's 4 - Day 2 - Creations of Bile vs Tyranids and Imperial Fists

Day 2 of Weekend at Burnie's 4 - can the Creations of Bile continue their winning streak?

In Bristol, no-one can hear you scream...

Weekend at Burnie's 4 - Day 1 - Creations of Bile vs T'au and AdMech

Has it really been a year since the last Weekend at Burnie's?

It was back. I, Stylus, was there. And naturally, I brought Chaos.

Bad Words: Daemons vs Word Bearers

Fight Night!

Kas is hosting, it's a 2000 point Tempest of War game, it's Chaos Space Marines against Daemons in a battle of the baddies!

Discustodes: Night Lords vs Emperor's Chosen

Plunging straight back into the hobby whirlwind - it's me, Kraken, taking on the might of the night via one of Kasfunatu's armies in a skype match! A thousand points of full Nephilim tournament rules, because the deep end is a good place to learn. 

Yes We Khan: White Scars vs Tzeentch Daemons

Today, I face a monster of my own making...

White Scars vs Tzeentch Daemons!

The Last Stand: The Purge vs Black Legion

Gormenghastly's ancient terminator plate creaked as he waded through the dust of Golfroth IV. Decius was a fool to object to his plan to join up with the Black Legion. His loyalty to Nurgle in the face of Ghox's worship of Khorne was understandable, but the Purge had always delighted in exterminating life and although Gormenghastly did not doubt his own loyalty to the Plague God, he had no objection to allying his warband to Ghox's Black Legion in the joint cause of spilling more blood.

Ghormenghastly could see the Ghox's warband just ahead. This parlay would finalise the terms of the deal to join the Black Legion. Nothing could stop him now...

A reckoning is coming for The Purge!

Edge Highlight Your Wagon: Space Wolves vs Deathwatch

 You see some well-painted armies at the Wild West, but wow... 

The Wild Bunch: Space Wolves vs Drukhari

 Saddle up - we're heading back to the Wild West!
