  • Hello there...

    Hey Kris, Sunday 8th June will be the next early opening, i normally open up at 12 and run/play legions Imperialis games then, if you want to try, i am not worried about your stuff being WIP, gaming may encourage your mojo with it. 1500pts normally gives a good (if somewhat deadly) game, failing that I can go with what ever you fancy, i reckon i can do 6-8k of Solar with Titan support, but that would take a long time to play and is no good if your still learning?

  • Hello there...

    Nice to meet you last night Kris, your Nurgle figures looked great. Have you got an army for Legions Imperialis? I have Marines and Solar Aux ready to go.

  • Sunday 11th May Early Club Opening

    It was a busy day at the club, Barry and I where in first playing a 1500pts Legions Imperialis Game with his Deathguard taking on my Imperial Fists in the Point Assault Scenario.


    We both deployed aggressively in the centre having both selected vital intel as our secondaries, meaning this area contained a lot of VPs to battle over.


    The Imperial Fist Kratos backed away from the centre and a massive firefight erupted down the centre of the table causing carnage to both sides.


    Beneath the smoke and ruin of factory ruins, the Deathguard Kratos squadrons roared forward. Massive autocannon volleys smashed into ceramite plating. The Deathguard lost two Kratos outright with much of the Fist line being on first fire, scarred and outgunned—fell back to reform under cover. The Fists did not have it all there own way losing one kratos and 4 predators to the return fire.


    At the very centre 8 Imperial Fist Leviathan dreads lead the charge into the Deathguard line, stomping into the Deathguard Terminators in a savage close-quarters brawl. The Fists’ Power Claws cleaved through Plague-blighted armour, annihilating the terminators, but the Deathguard’s second wave of Predators Dredeo Dreadnoughts and Rapier batteries zeroed in on the victorious Leviathans and with lascannon beams and meltagun blasts, seven where quickly destroy, Papa nurgle was pleased with this count! A lone survivor fell back to a safer firing line having failed it morale.


    With the middle locked in stalemate, both armies scoured the flanks and rear areas for points, on the fist left flank assault troops moved ahead of the Tactical Marine infantry taking the objective, whilst on the other flank the a mass of Deathguard rhinos raced forward spewing out tactical troops and missile launchers onto that objective supported by a squadron of fire raptors. The Imperial Fists countered this with Xiphon Interceptors that dived from the cloudy skies high above the battlefield. With superior speed and marksmanship, they tore the three Deathguard Fire Raptors from the sky in a furious dogfight, establishing brutal air dominance.


    For two turns the battle saw nothing but a meat grinding slaughter. The battlefield became full of wreckage and corpses, but ultimately the Imperial Fists firing line proved the stronger, despite taking horrific casualties amongst the Infantry that had advanced.


    With 1 Rapier and 5 rhinos left at the end of turn 3 the Deathguard retreated into the toxic haze, the Imperial Fists stood bloodied but unbowed. They set about cleansing the tainted ground, burning every trace of Nurglite corruption—and mourning their fallen brothers beneath Dorn’s silent glare.

    Rogal Dorn’s Report: A hard-fought victory, but at great cost. The word from Chapter Command: “Never again to allow the enemy such purchase on our centre. Honour the dead; prepare defences; we hold in faith against the next inexorable tide.”



    Following on from this Shaun, Barry and I played a Death race with the Gaslands Refuelled rules, we kept is simple with us all being new to the game, two cars each all equipped with 2 crew a forward firing machine gun and handgun.


    This race went crazy from the off with Barry's first car sliding sideways off the start line causing the following vehicles to try and dodge this roadblock.


    Some how my Pink Phantom slipped past the mess though Shaun was more interested in learning the rules so slammed straight into it! These two vehicles would spend the rest of the game trying to get going again.


    Meanwhile my racer has took the lead, but the driver was pushing to hard and span the car out badly just past the first gate, stalling the car and becoming so far out of the race he just could not get back in contention.

    The Pink Phantom was faring better taking the lead by cutting in front of Barry's mini van, but with his weapons now active he took great delight in machine gunning my car to bits as it past the second gate and became wrecked.


    Barry then proceeded to deftly dodge round Shaun's remaining car in the centre that had failed to even reach the first gate, taking the win.



    The second game saw John and his Daughter Ruby join forces in resplendent gold cars, under the name of Team JUBY!, Barry was back with the Green Team Minivan and Road Warrior Car, whilst I abandoned the Pink Panthers in favour of the enforcer sport cruisers. Again we kept it simple with forward machine guns and handguns.


    Having seen how the first game went we all took off from the start line in what i can only describe as a safe procession, but as soon as we all got past the first gate the gloves came off with bullets flying and cars spinning and crashing everywhere.


    Out of this carnage the Green Road warrior emerged followed by my remaining enforcer cruiser. Barry's mini van proved to be the best goal hanger, seeing team Juby shoot up the other enforcer in front he took the opportunity to shoot that car up in turn.


    Barry's Road Warrior gunned it but stopped just before the line giving my remaining enforcer the chance to shoot and I amazingly rolled a triple 6 getting six hits. Barry tried to evade but the fire was to accurate and the road warrior now wrecked, rolled across the finish line........Still taking the win!


    Barry had found his game :)


    Across the hall Paul and Andrew where playing the Making of a President Board game and Paul and Bryan playing Dragons Rampant.


    I left around half 5 having had a top afternoon cramming in 3 games.
