Monolith Con 2019 - Black Ork Down

Hi All,

Here's the first game I got to play in on the weekend. By the time I got there they had just wrapped up a Hardwired scenario. Airbornegrove came up with this scenario next and it was sort of loose with concepts from Hardwired borrowed.

We were divided into four teams and had to defend a downed chopper. I appeared to embark on a strategy that would hold for the weekend, "run around a lot and be generally ineffective."

Enjoy!

All in all a fun game, I just didn't achieve much for our side.

Up next: "Intergalactic Dog Fight!"

Monolith Con 2019 - Overview

Hi All,

I hadn't intended to be quiet for so long, but getting in a bit of a hobby funk and being busy with travel for gaming and Cross Country just took up all of my time and energy.

Here is a brief overview of what we did over Veteran's Day weekend. I've finally gotten all of the pictures I took processed, so I should be able to roll these out on a schedule over the holidays.

Enjoy.

Next up, Black Ork Down!

A little deeper into my RoC Warband - "Do I make you Khorne-y?"

Hi All,

Just thought I'd give you a breakdown of my final RoC warband.

	Henricus Seimger
	Chaos Renegade
	M	WS	BS	S	T	W	I	A	Ld	Int	Cl	WP	Sv
Profile:	4	4	4	6	3	1	3	1	7	7	7	7	(4)5
Equipment: Distort Field (4+ Sv, check first, d6” random displacement), Breathing Filters, Communicator, Energy Scanner, Immune (2), Rad Counter, Rad Suit, Sealed Suit, WebSolvent (1).
Rewards: Chaos Armor, Mechanoid Hand (+2 S added)
Attributes: Aggression Bonus (+1 WS/BS/S added), Manic Fighter (Hates enemy within 12”, no rout from HtH, Must contact enemy if fail Cl).
	Sht Rng	Lng Rng	S Mod	L Mod	S	D	Save Mod	Type	Area
Bolt Pistol	0-8	8-16	+2	-	4	1	-1	C	-
Sword					6	1		C

I used this template that was originally made by Bulldog Lopez and added the weapon stats to it. As you can see my fonts are a little all over the place. Some day I'll clean that up. I think I also mislabeled the Displacement field a Distort field.

	Blud Skullz
	7 Orks
	M	WS	BS	S	T	W	I	A	Ld	Int	Cl	WP	Sv
Profile:	5	3	3	3	4	1	3	1	7	6	7	7	5
Equipment: Mesh Armor.
Attribute: Extra Joints (+1 M/I added).
	Sht Rng	Lng Rng	S Mod	L Mod	S	D	Save Mod	Type	Area
Bolt Gun	0-12	12-24	+1		4	1	-1
Hvy Bolter	0-20	20-40			5	d4	-2	1”/S/F
Plasma Pistol	0-6	6-18	+2	-1	6	1	-1	C
Bolt Pistol	0-8	8-16	+2	-	4	1	-1	C	-
Power Axe					6	1	-3	C
Knife					3	1		C

These guys ended up being my best unit. Although the plastic arms and weapons on some were a pain to put on the metal bodies, they ended up being a fun unit. That Power Axe was the best.

	G.O.A.T.
	6 Beastmen
	M	WS	BS	S	T	W	I	A	Ld	Int	Cl	WP	Sv
Profile:	4	4	3	3	4	1	3	1	7	6	7	6	6
Equipment:Flak Armor.
Attribute: Irrational Fear (Color, GM's Choice)(If fail Cl cannot charge, if charged, rout)
	Sht Rng	Lng Rng	S Mod	L Mod	S	D	Save Mod	Type	Area
Lasgun	0-12	12-24	+1		3	1	-1
Missle Lnchr	0-20	20-72						1”, S
Crack					8	d10	-6		0.5”
Tanglefoot								S	2”	Half Move, -1 to hit in/out
Stasis				-1				S	1”	Everything frozen
Las Pistol	0-8	8-16	+2	-1	3	1		C
Power Sword					5	1	-1	C
Knife					3	1		C

These guys were really hard for me to commit to the conversion. I'm really happy with how they turned out, but they were crap on the battlefield.

	There will be Blood
	9 Cultists
	M	WS	BS	S	T	W	I	A	Ld	Int	Cl	WP	Sv
Profile:	4	3	3	3	3	1	3	1	7	7	7	7	6
Equipment: Flak Armor.
Attribute: Multiple Arms (additional attack for every two models, shooting or HtH).
	Sht Rng	Lng Rng	S Mod	L Mod	S	D	Save Mod	Type	Area
Auto Gun	0-12	12-32	+1		3	1	-1
Hvy Stubber	0-20	20-40			4	1	-1	1”/S/F
Shotgun	0-4	4-18		-1		1		S	0.5”
Scatter					3	1
Solid					4	1	-1
Gas					3	1
Sword					3	1		C
Knife					3	1		C

These guys weren't great, but somehow they stood up to Blue's Renegades long enough for the Blud Skullz to get stuck in.

	Silent but Deadly
	Assassin
	M	WS	BS	S	T	W	I	A	Ld	Int	Cl	WP	Sv
Profile:	4	5	5	4	4	2	5	2	8	8	8	8	4
Equipment: Conversion Field (4+save,4+ blinded, Flash Radius Weap S”), Cameleoline (-1 to be hit, -1” detect hidden), Breathing Mask, Communicator, Visor, Bio-Scanner, Energy Scanner.
Attributes: Irrational Hatred of Eldar. (If fail Cl test must move toward and charge.)
	Sht Rng	Lng Rng	S Mod	L Mod	S	D	Save Mod	Type	Area
Needler	0-16	16-32	+1		3	1	+1	S
Bolt Pistol	0-8	8-16	+2	-	4	1	-1	C	-
Anti Plant Gr	0-4	4-8	Always Hit					S	1.5”
Knife					4	1		C

I didn't end up getting to use this guy. I also didn't paint him, he came that way from Ebay. The only thing I did was texture and paint the base, repair the silencer thing and slap some matte varnish on him. 

Anyway, there you have it. I hope you get a chance to make your own band. It's a little silly, but awfully fun.

BOYL 2019 - Realm of Chaos mini Campaign

Hi All,

On the Friday a group of us met up at Warhammer World and played in a linked campaign using warbands we had rolled up from the Realm of Chaos books. We rotated opponents and played three scenarios.

Here is the campaign from my Champion's perspective.

So I got very lucky with objective placement in the first game. I barely outlasted my opponent in the second game, we apparently attacked each other with the marked unit. In the third game the bewitched/possessed sword really messed with me. I had won it after the first scenario and it essentially made my champion useless for the next two battles.

Anyway, loads of fun, fantastic models and bonkers shenanigans occurring.

I may do a break down of my warband next before moving on to the next battle report.

Thanks for looking.

BOYL 2019 - An Overview

Hi All,

Well, I made it to BOYL this year and overcame my hang ups about driving abroad and doubts about my ability to finish my figures, or my skill at the hobby.

I took tons of pictures, but I tried to distill it down to a few pages in this comic report. Enjoy.

I wish I had talked to more people, but I didn't know who everyone was and I wasn't sure how to talk to some of the luminaries of Warhammer. But that's on me, everyone at the event was very nice.

Anyway, as I said in the comic report, you should try to make it to this  event if you enjoy the old games and figures.

I'd also like to welcome Alan Luiz to the blog. Thanks for following.
