http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Hrds9B-g0s

I painted these guys ageas ago, but never really got around to photographing them for the blog. Paul and I played a campaign game last week and I took the opportunity to do up a quick video of this 1500pt force. Owen

Annihilation in the Rustwood – Game 3 (Video)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i8XA-9P6OUY

This it the third game of four in our Annihilation in the Rustwood campaign. I’ve managed to win the last two (reports here and here), but things could get tricky this time out as Phil already has a good idea what my Absylonia Tier 4 force is capable of. I’m using Absylonia again as I [...]

Wargames Audit: Warhammer

This is the fourth post in my Audit series and this time I look at Warhammer, a game that has very much fallen out of favour with me. Warhammer My Warmachine, Hordes, Malifaux and Flames of War models all sit in their cases in the house. My Warhammer models are out in the shed! They [...]

Wargames Audit: Flames of War

This is the third post in my Audit series (the first on, on Warmachine and Hordes, is here and the second on Malifaux is here). This time around it’s a game that I don’t get to play much, but that represents another interest – Flames of War. Flames of War I’ve always been interested in [...]

Flames of War: Novice Mistakes!

Peter and I played out a fun game of Flames of War this evening, but boy did we make a lot of mistakes. We played the Free for All mission, which is thankfully pretty straightforward. The game was set in Italy in October 1943, just north of the Volturno. Peter fielded a 3rd Infantry Division [...]

Wargames Audit: Malifaux

This is the second post in my Audit series (the first on, on Warmachine and Hordes, is here). This time around I’m taking a critical look at my Malifaux gaming. Malifaux I picked up Malifaux not long after it was released, but interest in the game locally plummeted after the initial release. I still kept [...]

Wargames Audit: Warmachine and Hordes

Audit. A word that strikes fear into managers everywhere. If you’re in a business area that doesn’t get audited I envy you! That said taking stock of any activity can be a healthy exercise, so in this series of posts I’m going to reflect on what games I play and how I’ve fared with them [...]

Kallus vs pSkarre (35pt Battle Report)

Peter and I got a game in this evening with the new Legion warlock facing off against pSkarre. Peter’s force was all Satyxis (Raiders and Blood Witches), their respective UAs/solos, Mechanithralls, Skarlock and a Leviathan. In Kallus’ force I had a Ravagore, Carnivean, Shredder, Shepherd, Deathstalker, max Warmongers and max Legionnaires. This was my first [...]

Kallus, Wrath of Everblight: Complete

I’m more content than happy with how this guy turned out. He has a bit too much metal on him for me, but what can I expect from a model that’s covered head to toe in armour! Owen

Annihilation in the Rustwood – Game 2 (Video)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tLEqMhP76mE

The is the second game in a four game campaign. I brought Saeryn out to play this time against Phil’s Baldur list. The winner of this 25pt game would get a free Feralgeist in each of the subsequent games (this doesn’t impact theme forces) as well as campaign points, so there is something to fight [...]
