Skypehammer Round 10: You Know My Name

The campaign for Averment speeds towards its climax, but there's one more twist in the tail, and a few more heads as well ...

Imperial Guard vs Alpha Legion!

Skypehammer Round 9: Unto The Breach

This is the penultimate battle of the campaign, and in the tradition of building to a crescendo, we're going to be playing doubles!

The Purge & Nurgle Daemons vs Thousand Sons & The Scourged!

Skypehammer Round 8: A Rune Priest's Tail

The campaign for Averment tilts dangerously in favour of The Cabal ... only one loyal army stands before them and total defeat. 

Space Wolves vs The Scourged!

Skypehammer Round 7: A Stitch In Time

The Cabal's internecine struggles continue. This time, it's the Neverborn who decide they've had enough of colouring inside the lines...

Thousand Sons vs Tzeentch Daemons!

Skypehammer Round 6: Kingslayer

So far in the campaign, The Cabal have had the run of things, but who could trust a traitor?

It's the Black Legion versus The Purge!

Skypehammer Round 5: Civil War

The campaign for Averment continues, but a schism has developed in the Imperial lines...



Adeptus Mechanicus vs Imperial Guard!

Skypehammer Round 4: Ill-Met By Enlightenment

The final combatants of the Skypehammer campaign kick off by renewing an old grudge...

Space Wolves vs Thousand Sons!

Skypehammer Round 3: Upon The Wings of Night

With the campaign gathering pace, the masterminds of The Cabal swoop in to make their presence felt...

Black Legion vs The Scourged!

Skypehammer Round 2: Routine Patrol

The campaign is already warming up - Imperial Guard hold the line against The Purge!

The streets may be empty, but the war never ends.

Skypehammer Round 1: Fire In the Noosphere

Necessity being the mother of daft ideas, we're attempting our most ambitious series of games yet - an eight-player, narrative campaign played over Skype!

Papa Nurgle may lock us down, but in the Noosphere, we are free.

How To Play Warhammer Over Skype

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

+++ My noosphere is buffering! +++

Since keeping indoors is the current fashion, I hope this is useful to stay-at-home gamers.

Lunchtime HeroQuest #4 - Prince Magnus' Gold

A bank heist! Our heroes must traverse narrow corridors and recover three chests of gold from Gulthor, the Chaos Warrior.

The wounds tally up as the adventurers get singled out - will adversity forge them into a team?

All this, and more, on another exciting Lunchtime HeroQuest!...

Lunchtime HeroQuest #3 - Lair of the Orc Warlord

Warlord Ulag, captor of the aforementioned Sir Ragnar, has been marked for death and four dead-eyed assassins are sent into the dungeons to sanction him.

Will the Barbarian ever get ahead of the others? Will the Dwarf get a refund on his spear? Will the little Dungoneers get ice cream before 3pm?

All this, and more, on another exciting Lunchtime HeroQuest!...

Lunchtime HeroQuest #2 - The Rescue of Sir Ragnar

So much for HeroQuest as a semi-regular feature ... Sir Ragnar's been down there so long, he's developed Stockholm Syndrome.

The camera work was worse than usual, the protagonists kept swapping accents, someone came to buy a sofa in the middle of the quest, and one side of the Skype conversation had to content with two little dungeoneers.

If you've ever laboured under the delusion that wargaming was incompatible with parenthood, then watch on...

Lunchtime HeroQuest #1 - The Maze

I'm putting this one under the category of 'why didn't we think of this before?'

Read on, stranger...

Battle Report: Age of AoSBoot

Say, I hear there's this Age of Sigmar game that's caused a bit of a stir.

With deep breaths and a certain amount of trepidation, Kraken and I took to Skype - battle report and first impressions will follow...

It's an Oldsmobile reference. Don Draper would love it.

Pass, the Ogres on the Left Hand Side: Ogre Kingdoms vs Warriors of Chaos

A Scheduling Oversight!

It's All-Skype Fight Night!

After a number of failed attempts over the last fortnight, and a memory failure on my part, Kraken and I (Kas) broke out the dice and battleboard for another EndTimes-esque battle. In a break from tradition, I will be writing in normal font, and will leave Kraken to be bold.

I certainly am Bold. It's the real-life equivalent of Stubborn. Which I also am.

This time we would be playing non-Legion lists (Ogres vs Warriors) but would be trying the (now standard) composition rules from Archaon book. 

This is a format I had experienced before. Many years ago Leofa and I had played a game of this format; affectionately referred to as "Billie"... Why you may ask? "Because we want to!" (click only for nostalgia)

Violent Tilting: Warriors of Chaos vs High Elves

No time to rewrite!
It's All-Skype Fight Night!

Is it strange to sit alone on your kitchen floor, surrounded by tiny plastic toys that are being commanded from a different country? No? Phew, I thought I might be in trouble for a moment there. 

Welcome back for the Skype Debut of both General Palafox and his High Elves, as they brave the swampy wilds of my Swedish linoleum! A simple match, with original and best 8th Ed rules and no secret boasts - just two easy-going armies beating the living kidneys out of each other in a friendly match to the bitter death. 

Say Hello To My Little Friends: Legions of Chaos vs Undead Legions

I'm a Loremaster (Light)!
It's All-Skype Fight Night!

March already? Well, time for a skype battle, and no mistake. With the End Times verging on actually ending, what better than to hurl powerful magic at one another using the medium of dice?

I, Kraken, bring you a lavish offering of unfluffed nonsense courtesy of the Legions of Chaos list!

And I, Kasfunatu, had been neglecting my undead recently... and upping from 1600 to 2000pts for this session meant the lure of Nagash could not be ignored.

We're using a modification of the End Times that allows normal control of power dice and gets rid of the awful random power dice thing. To balance that, you can't cast a spell more than once per phase and End Times spells can be dispelled normally.

And yet to claim we'd found magical balance might be premature - reader beware, and read on!

Mines of Morag: Night Goblins vs Warriors of Chaos

Prologue

Shroom peered over the cauldron, burying his face in the green steam like he was peering through a curtain. There were great disturbances in the outside world: old powers rising and new calamities in store. If the Word of Mork was to be believed, even their own underground caves would not be spared.

"Wocher, Shroom," Blacktoe sauntered up. "Got a cup a' fungus brew fer me?"

Shroom handed a beaker of viscous liquid to his warboss, who downed it in one gulp.

"Tintoof's lads say a bunch of humies fought their way into our mines," he said, wiping his chin. "Smashed through da western gate and chased off all da guards. Cowardly gits."

The warboss looked pointedly at Shroom for an explanation. Blacktoe might be sneaky and cowardly and possessed of many fine goblin virtues, but he relied on the great shaman for strategic insight. Shroom leaned over the cauldron once more and pinched the bridge of his long nose, sending out two streams of snot into the mixture.

"Dey are humies of da ruinous powers," Shroom examined the yellow trails in the mixture. "Same ones dat gave Bonekrunk's Waaagh! a good hiding a few weeks ago."

Blacktoe chuckled at the thought. Everyone south of Mad Dog Pass had enjoyed a good laugh at the Savage Warboss' expense. "Why have dey come 'ere?"

Three floating bogeys arranged themselves into a triangle and the truth was revealed to Shroom in strange words. "Dey want to capture da Well of Corruption."

"Wot? Da fountain in the vaults dat makes all the lads sick when dey get close?"

"Da very one."

"Well, if dey want it, so do we." Blacktoe hitched up his belt. "Let's wake up da squigs."
