It's Been Oh So Quiet...

Hi There!

It's been about 5 months since I last posted here, so much has happened in that time it's difficult to know where to start.

OK let's skip right past the work commitments (I was away from home a lot) and move onto something more relevant.

Our trio of gamers is down to two, Steven and I (James). The limited armies and painted models we own has created some difficulties - no one wants to see the same two people pit the same two forces against each other time and again!

Good news! We have found ourselves a new location to play which has presented us with more people to play with (and record games).  As we are settling in to this new gaming group, it will be a few weeks before the videos really kick off!

Isn't it just typical that I sit down to type this, I am packing my bags to go abroad for 2 weeks!  

In the meantime, here are a couple of pictures of the Farseer on Jetbike model I will be working on. I love this model and it's a shame Games Workshop do not make one, the resin is a bit too brittle on this cast!

Necrons vs Eldar 1500pts video Battle report

Steven's Necrons face off against James' Eldar.

Some interesting rules about multi-assaults and sweeping advances come up in this one.

New Space Marines Battle Reports

Vanguard Kitbashing

Ian here (the D3+1 Tau, Deathguard and Ultramarine player).

Obviously we'll be covering the new Space Marines release a lot in up coming videos and I've got some new models to play with. I picked up the new Vanguard box without any intention of using them for anything other than a collection of wonderful bits to pillage for other uses and I thought I'd show off some stuff I've done with it.

Here's something basic to start with. I used the Relic Blade and one of the Storm Shields from the box and did some surgery on the sergeant from the Space Marine Command Squad box to create a custom Chapter Master I plan to use sometime soonish (armed with the Burning Blade and the Shield Eternal).

As for the bodies of the Vanguard marines themselves I decided to turn them into Honour Guard. For those that don't know - the only official Honour Guard models for marines are the Ultramarine themed ones that come in the box with Calgar. If you want to field a lot of them (which is something else I want to try) you kind of have to fend for yourself. So here we have the Vanguards transformed into Honour Guard using some spare power wepaons and backpacks I had in my bits collection. The Company Champion is using a Thunder Hammer from the Vanguard box.

Dark Angels Vs Eldar 1500pts Video Battle Report

Our Dark Angels player (Steven) hasn't had a game in a while and faces off against James' Eldar!

Deployment: Dawn of War
Mission: The Crusade
Turn 1 Night Fighting?: No

Randomized Armies! : Blood Angels vs Eldar 1000pts (video batrep)

When we are short on time, we try to squeeze in quicker 1000 point games.

 As a change of pace, we decided to write a 1000 point list for every army we collectively own!

First up, Ian drew Blood Angels and James drew Eldar (oops!). Both armies were James' so he had written both.

Blood Angels Vs Chaos/Daemons 1500pts Video Battle Reports

We played two games, one with the usual format and one where we try to capture as much of the action as possible!

Let us know which you prefer!
