What’s That Noise?

 Mom, you’re just jealous, it’s the Beastie Boys.

In Short Order

Hi Ho!

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...

Tidal Wraith: Aeldari Craftworld vs Mantis Warriors

 Having painted all those space elves recently, the last task before posting them was to check they were all working properly. Skype Fight Night!

All this fighting! Battle report after battle report on the blog, and no hobby articles in sight. It's almost like in the grim darkness of the far future, there is only war or something.

But no! For there is also Paint!

Battle Report: The Siege of Rylstone Keep

Chapter Master Kasfunatius, Lord of the Crypt Angels, has once more engaged the fell mechanisms of the Casket of Dust. Perhaps in hope of recreating the Rubicon Primaris in his own way, the Chapter Master has sealed himself inside the device, safe inside the walls of the Rylstone Keep.

Or is he safe? No sooner is the Casket activated when an unprecedented Warp Storm blows up, encircling the Keep and preventing the defensive troops from communicating with the rest of the Chapter. 

From the storm, a tide of daemons emerges. Greater Daemons of every hue, an endless swarm of lesser creatures at their heels. Captain Jereann and Codicier Ibrani, both of the newly arisen 11th Company, must command the defenders and awaken a trio of Knights to prevent the daemonic incursion from taking their Chapter Master!

Yeah, we got carried away for the final battle of the 'Boot. It's Crypt Angels vs Daemons, 5000 points a side. 

Stylus and I are taking control of the Crypt Angels, Generals Kas, Leofa and Bubonicus are the Daemons. Playing on a T-shaped board, using as much of Kas's collection as we possibly can, in a home-brew narrative scenario game on a scale none of us have attempted before. Nothing can possibly go wrong!

Brush (Not) For Hire

The following models were painted by me for someone else. That said, there are three very good reasons why I'm no commission painter:

1. My painting standard, honed over the decades, is what I would call Tabletop Passable™
2. I am hopeless at estimating exactly how much time is required for a project (this one ran about double-length)
3. ... and the third one is the most important, but you'll have to read to the end to find out.

SOUNDS LIKE CLICKBAIT!

WoffBoot XII: Death Guard vs Thousand Sons

Time to dust off the keyboard. My brave boys in blue have returned form their raid on the Scandinavian coast (how do you like them apples, Vikings?) and here are the battle reports from WoffBoot XII.

First up: the Death Guard!

Tears of the Sons: Thousand Sons vs Death Guard

Apparently you don't need Skype to play Warhammer? Upon this revelation, I took my Thousand Sons out into the world for couple of floorhammer battles.

First up: the Death Guard!

Warlord of Galahir: For Real This Time

Dungeon Saga! It's the final *final* quest for Warlord of Galahir. Somewhat unimpressed by the milk run that was the last mission of the campaign, we asked Kraken to unleash his inner sadist and design us a proper finale that would shed blood and test our mettle.

I didn't realise I had an inner sadist. I thought he was mostly on the outside these days. 

So we bring you the concluding chapter to Warlord of Galahir: the warlord has been slain, and now our heroes must escape the green tide and, not matter how many of them fall, to get the hostage out alive!

Knightfall: Aeldari vs Renegade Knight

This lance ain't so bright

It's All-Skype Fight Night!

Yes, it's us again. Kraken vs Leofa (Hi!), and hot from the success of his Renegade Knight against the noble Salamanders, Leofa is bringing the big lug up against the elegant eldar. I mean Aeldaer. Aeildairy. You know, the Vowel People, them.

Some People Are Worth Melta For: Salamanders vs Renegade Knight

"Bringing a Knight to a 1,000pt game would be too reductive!"

"Nah - as the only target on the board, you'd kill it easy!"

Only one way to find out...

Everyone pile on the Traitor Knight!
It's All-Skype Fight Night!

Plaguing Away From Home: Crimson Fists vs Death Guard

Infect Them With Our Blight!
It's All-Skype Fight Night!

Hot on the heels of our last battle report, I, Stylus, find myself back in the general's chair. This time, I'm trading in the nice, healthy green of the Orks for the verdant putrescence that is the Death Guard.

And in the bold corner, making his all-skype fight night battle report debut, iiiiiiiiiiit's LE-O-FAAAAA!  Hi [waves]  I'll be bringing my Wombles.
