Little Pigs, Little Pigs, Let Me Come In...

It's been a quiet January, but not for lack of effort.

From now, until they're finished, we shall be painting Space Wolves!

Welcome to the Jungle: Scions and Marines vs Tyranids

++ Operation Clean Slate is go. Landing zone locked, nav beacon responding. Valkyries on approach, drop teams ready. Safeties off, all teams, you may fire freely. Sweep the DZ clear of hostiles, capture and appropriate local strong points, establish a functional beachhead ahead of reinforcements. Emperor protects. ++

I know you can't say 'Let's Rock!', that's from a different film. But the sentiment holds true.

Here we go - Zamaroon Campaign battle report number one! Kraken in the guise of Tyranids.

I, Stylus, shall be taking the combined forces of the Imperium. I've played thirty-eight battles with Space Marines (simulated) and two real ones (including this one). So I totally know what I'm doing.

And our opening game takes place in the Main Compound with the Beachhead mission!

Black to the Future

We've been here before.

Swinging the Lead: Year in Review

Blimey, that was a quick year. Yet so much happened! Was this really the same year that the Age of Sigmar Snakewomen released? And Adeptus Titanicus? And Kill Team? And... and... and... Too much!

But how did I fare?

The Tally of 2018

And we're finally done with 2018. An experience not dissimilar to riding on that bus at the end of The Italian Job.

"We're going to need a bigger pen."

And this is the update to "Project: Micawber", let's all say it together...

"Annual leadpile twenty terminators, annual painting nineteen terminators nineteen marines and a cultist, result: stagnation.
Annual leadpile twenty terminators, annual painting twenty terminators nought and a cultist, result: progress."

Review: Blackstone Fortress

Now it's the holidays, I've had time to actually play this bugger as well as paint it! Invoking, therefore, the awesome responsibility of the Blogger, I shall chant out my opinion as though it weighs something.
