Game 23
Junt and I had another bash at Epic with not dissimilar forces
facing off. However he won the artillery battle early on so I struggled to pull
it back from there.
His predators also fared well holding one flank pretty well
having mauled my new unit of Land Speeders.
I did get to bloody his nose on the other flank with some
mainly infantry on infantry action.
A win for Junt!
Game 24
It became apparent early on that Urn and I, with our marine
and chaos marine lists, were going to struggle against Junt and Gareth’s
combined force of Space Wolves and Imperial Guard. Junt had brought a super
heavy unit, a full unit of Leman Russes and a horrible battery of manticores.
Ouch!
The early shots from the rocket battery knobbled my Land
Speeders and caught a unit of Urn’s infantry in their transports.
Sadly Urn’s attempts to charge the Guard tanks…….
…. Were as effective as my attempts to win a Land Raider
battle vs the Wolves.
It was all over fairly quickly. Not a good day for chaos!
Game 25
With the appearance of Shadow War: Armageddon we decided
that it would be rude note to give it a try especially as we have all the
figures and plenty of scenery to use. Unfortunately I got so caught up in the new
game that I forgot to take any photos. My first game was vs Junt and his Tau. I
had my mob of Yoofs armed with shootas and applied a subtle mix of cunning and
strategy……oh no hang on, I just charged him.
It worked well up to a point. I had downed a load of his
guys, one of mine was sat on the objective and we still had enough boys to
carry the fight. Sadly we had taken enough losses that I was making break
bottle tests for my mob. Luck can only go so far and sadly one failed roll was
enough to give Junt the game. Still it was lots of fun to give the Tau a bop on
the nose. Ask Junt about the super-duper rail rifle…….with one round of
ammunition. J
Game 26
Next game was vs Silverback’s lovely Skitarii. Oh my they
are a bit shooty and their boss man is nails. Still all those Yoofs came in
handy to overrun the Martian’s position but not without casualties…….which led
to bottle tests……..you see where this is going? Yup. Holding objectives and
still numerous but I bottled it again. A well fought win for the Silverback.
Game 27
16 Orks vs 6 misguided chaos chaps. This was quick as, given
the weight of fire the Yoofs put out, it was only a matter of time before even
power armour would fail under such a barrage.
A win for the Orks! Huzzah!
Game 28
Junt and I finally got round to the next game of our Undead
vs Seraphon AoS tree campaign. The Undead were winning after the first round in
the Verdigris Plains but the Never-dying were now fighting on the Seraphon’s
home ground. We played the Revenge at the Blackblood Weald next which is an
interesting scenario. The defender takes and initial hammering under the scenario
rules to represent the fighting rear-guard action. After that the attacker has
the potential for a sluggish start as units can stall for the first round.
The Seraphon started well and used the opportunity to down
the Undeads giant and then their cavalry. After that the lizards pushed forward
to take the fight to the undead. The massed skeleton units proved too much and
whittled the lizards to nothing. The Undead hadn’t fared well with only their
archers remaining at the end.
A sort of win to the undead whose archers were a little more
potent than they should have been. J
I’m loving the narrative tree campaign. If I had a bit more
time at the moment I’d pen a more prosaic batrep like the last one.
Game 29
Silverfox (and all his dice rolling skill) with BFG vs Eddy
and Junt
Sigmar vs bad lizards and their undead mates!
Oh the ones. Sooooo many ones. It’s alright tho’ It was the Silverfox throwing them and he was on the other side! This still didn’t prove
enough to save us from the wrath of Sigmar. Man they are tough!
The Lizards and Undead pushed towards them early on with the Sigmar archers trying a few rounds of ranging shots with their archers :-P.
Then then the Sigmarites hit. Talk about Hammertime! First
the giant fell, then the Kroxigor started to get whooped all whilst the lizard
men infantry got bashed about and shot horribly! We didn’t see much from the skeletons
on the flank as the chariots had raced away and stalled the enemy advance
before being smashed to pieces.
We had to call the game early as it was getting late but it
was a definite win for the bing boys of Sigmar. Despite Silverfox’s dice. Tee
Hee.

Wow, that is a LOT of gaming - always good to catch up in one post, highly efficient.
ReplyDeleteI do love those blast markers you are using for Epic...
