Kallus had flawless eyesight. He was sure he was the first of his army to spot the mechanika abominations across the other side of the burning village. Even the eyeless beasts under his command had not perceived the rapid advance of the Cryxian helljacks yet. Kallus had not spotted what was commanding them, but there [...]

If there was one word to describe tonight’s game it would be ‘attrition’! When the dust settled there was very little left standing on either side. Anthony used a pretty competitive Scaverous list that included a Skarlock, Malice, two Ripjaws, two Warwitch Sirens, two Pistol Wraiths, a min unit of Bile Thralls, a full unit [...]

I felt a little bad for Conor when I pulled the trigger on the assassination. He was already a little disillusioned after Deneghra’s feat turn. Denny managed to get Crippling Grasp on to him from about 19″ away (thanks to a Defiler that ran into arcing range). Tartarus then finished off the Sword Knights creating [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

This game was Mangled Metal/Tooth and Claw on steroids. I brought my newly converted Absylonia out to play and Peter fielded Mortenebra. We played The Gauntlet scenario with armies that were full of heavies. Peter’s list had a Ripjaw, Deathjack, 2 Slayers and a Leviathan with a handful of support solos. My list comprised four [...]

Last weekend Stu organised a 35pt Steamroller tournament in Gamers World (Dublin). It was well attended with 16 players and a good spread of factions. Below is the defining moment of the tournament for me. It was in the final game, Tomek’s beautiful pGaspy army clashed with my Strakhov led force and both armies were [...]

Yesterday Stu, one of our local Press Gangers, ran a 35pt two list Steamroller 2011 tournament held in Gamers World, Dublin. The tournament attracted 11 players and I went along with my Legion of Everblight. Saeryn led one list and Thagrosh the other, though I only really had practice with the Saeryn army. Here’s a [...]

Anthony and I played a 35pt game last night with Saeryn facing off against pDenny. The scenario was Process of Elimination from Steamroller 2011. In this scenario there are two parallel areas in the centre of the board that each player can score one control point off of, the first player to two points wins. [...]

Undying Loyalty Toruk’s spies had failed him. The Scourge Bringer had been rediscovered and he only found out about it weeks after. This failure would have to be rectified, but in the meantime he needed to retrieve the weapon from Everblight’s minions. Toruk does not like to rush things, but in this instance he had [...]
