<br />
I have been distracted by social media the last year or so. As a platform for hobby content it has grown from strength to strength and is so easy to upload content to.<br />
<br />
Around Christmas time I made a vow to update my blog a bit more frequently and to try and use it as a record of my hobby out put throughout the year. January really did not get off to a good start, but here we are in February and here is the first new post in quite a while.<br />
<br />
So what is the plan for the coming year?<br />
<br />
Top of the list is the Bloodbowl league that I am running. Throughout January I managed to get my team the Altdorf Gentrifiers painted up ready for the start of the league last week.<br />

My Skaven team got off to a great start in the league and managed to lose their opening game 3-0 and have a thrower killed at the same time. This was against a human team as well!<br />
Still at least one of my Blitzers has gone up by a point of Agility and I learnt a lot from this first game.<br />
<br />
I also plan to get a couple more titans painted for my Adeptus Titanicus Battlegroup, I have done Legio Ignatum and so far painted a Warlord, Reaver and a pair of Warhounds. Plenty more to get on with.<br />

<br />
These will go alongside my Epic 30K White Scars force. More on these in a future blog post.<br />
Also more views of my titans on my Twitter: @chellicar and Instagram: b.ellicar<br />
<br />
The other "big" project is to write a campaign for both Napoleon in Italy with my friend and use this system as a spring board for a campaign for an American Civil War Campaign.<br />
<br />
So hopefully should be updating with a blog post once a week.<br />

I hope to be able to update this blog a bit more frequently.<br />
<br />
I have started work finally on my 30K Word Bearers force for the Horus Heresy. Completed one Tactical Marine as a test for the colour scheme. The scheme is quite interesting as it involves using a clear red over a metallic base coat. I am quite please with how the test figure came out and will post a picture in the next update. I have the rest of the 15 man squad ready to get started once the painting queue has shortened. Then I have a squad of Ashen Circle to paint which should be quite fun.<br />
<br />
<br />
I managed to buy a new airbrush primarily for the Word Bearers but also for a bit more detail work ( with plenty of practice).<br />
<br />
I am currently building and paining a British force for Battlegroup Overlord. There is a campaign weekend coming up at the wargames show in Bovington. This is at the beginning of July so I have lots to assemble and lots to get painted but hopefully the airbrush should speed things up a little. Just need to source some decals for the vehicles.<br />

While out in London last weekend with a group of friends we made a stop at Darksphere games where I picked up this game in a moment of weakness and impulse. The models in the box are very nice and I am looking forward to finding time to paint them. I will most likely start with the Dwarf Slayer as a friend is going to be running a campaign using the experience from the original Warhammer Quest. Unfortunately somebody has already claimed the Elf spellcaster slot for our group of adventurers. The future looks bright for playing Silver Tower in our group at least with talk of regular Thursday gaming taking place.<br />

More to come in the week hopefully as I get some paint applied to my British.<br />

The bulk of the painting has been done and just have the command and a few final touch ups to do.<br />
Then it is the grass and tufts to complete the bases, but unsure if I will wait to get another unit done before this next step.<br />
<br />
This unit has taken roughly a week of spare time to complete, which means it will most likely take me 3 - 4 months to get the British force all painted (10-12 battalions). This should be quite a bit for either Black Powder or Land of the Free.<br />
The continentals will then be started and I hopeful these might be a bit quicker to paint as the scheme is a bit more rough and ready and less "crisp" white needed.<br />

This week I also got to play another act from Dead Mans Hand. Once again a lot of fun was had and the scenarios worked very well to produce a fun an engaging evening of games. The great thing with these scenarios is that you can replay them without them being exactly the same (aside from the set up). The more I play of Dead Mans Hand the more I want to get more figures painted to vary the weapons that I take as part of my Posse.<br />

All in all it has been a productive week for hobby activity. Dead Man's Hand is fast becoming our game of choice, makes for an easy evenings gaming after a long day at work.<br />
It will soon be time to head back to 1944 though as we have a few more Normandy based scenarios to play through and then some 1945 Eastern Front games to get in.<br />

So far played a cracking game with my Eldar against a friends Dark Eldar. This was a standard 3K Epic Armageddon game, it was a very close and very fun. I didn't get any photos of the action as it was quite a fast paced game and we were both in the zone (that is what happens when the two armies are very closely matched in potential).<br />
If people are interested I can post up my list that I have been using for my Ulthwe Eldar. As I have mentioned before it is a list that I enjoy using and it has potential.<br />
<br />
The hardest part of the game for me was having such a fast and agile force, but nothing to target move against as most of the Dark Eldar force was off table and would deploy from the webway and the portable webway that the Dark Elder SC had. Added to this that the Dark Eldar are very fast and have a great chance of activating (even with blast markers).<br />
<br />
It ended in a win for the Dark Eldar at the end of turn 4 ( I nearly had a chance of snatching a victory at the end of turn three with some marching Jetbikes but the objective was just out of reach).<br />
<br />
The next game to be played this week was Dead Mans Hand. We played through the "Fistful of Lead" I believe. It is the second act in the main Dead Mans Hand rulebook.<br />
It was a lot of fun and both James and I really enjoyed the scenes even though they did not appear very balanced on paper. We both really like this ruleset and have found the games to be very quick and a lot of thought needed for some of the scenes and definitely a poker face comes in handy. The first scene in the act is a standoff with both palyers waiting to "draw". Who draws first comes down to in game Blackjack with the initiative cards.<br />

Also this week saw the start of painting on the AWI project for the year. The first of many Redcoats have been basecoated. So far the painting is coming along at a pace on the first unit. Importantly each step is quite straight forward and seems to work. The figures are based individually but will be on unit trays, so hopefully once all of the painting is done the units will look good and look the part.<br />
<br />
Here is a quick picture of the unit having received the first messy stage with the red coats being done.<br />

We had so far played one game and found it very enjoyable, so decided to play through the first act in the Dead Mans Hand rulebook. <div>
This was made up of three very simple scenarios that escalated from a game involving just four figures through to using a full posse each. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Each game was very entertaining and provided quite a challenge for both players, this was even the case where the scenario seemed weighted to one side. The random card element for priority that each figure would activate meant that the games were very tense in places and gave a good Wild West feel. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In the End James and his band of Outlaws managed to beat my Lawmen in two out of three scenes (scenarios). The highlight was a shotgun tooting outlaw blasting down two lawmen in rapid succession with the same activation. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Next week we will be playing through the second act from the Dead Mans Hand rulebook. I will also try and take some more photos of the games. </div>

Work on the American War of Independence project continues. Two battalions of Redcoats have now been assembled and two more to be completed shortly. Painting will start soon as well. Hopefully I can find a quick method for getting the masses painted.<br />Finally finished reading through the Rebellion supplement for Black Powder and this was a great read and I will be trying out a number of the scenarios once the figures are ready. </div>

This week I already have the Dead Mans Hand game lined up as well as a game of Epic Armageddon. I will probably be using my Eldar again as I have been enjoying learning to use them, there is also the fact that my Chaos are still not ready for action yet. </div>

As such the gaming and painting side of things has been squeezed in where ever a bit of spare time was found. As such the blog suffered through lack of updates.<br />
<br />
My Eldar have graced the gaming tables twice over the last few months and actually performed quite well in some areas and awful in others (so many failed activations). One thing the Eldar have taught me is the finer points of playing Epic, they are so different to using an Ork horde.<br />
But what of the Chaos army that I was working on? Well that is going to be getting an injection of love in the new year. I have two warhounds to work on and some more infantry and the army should be ready to try out.<br />
<br />
Vietnam has also taken a bit of a back seat for now but will be getting additions in the new year once I can find time to make more terrain. As ever there are more VC and US forces to paint including some Hueys.<br />
<br />
I attended the Battlegroup Barbarossa weekend at the end of October and had a lot of fun and played three great opponents. There was an interesting mix of forces from all the players, all three of my opponents fielded very different forces which was nice as made the weekend interesting. I was using a PZ III heavy list with infantry in half tracks. This seemed to work well but the lack of mortar or artillery support was noticeable in the games. I hear next years event is to be Desert. James and I are already talking about getting stuff sorted well in advance (rather than the weeks before in my case). The other nice thing is that we will be starting this in 20mm rather than our usual 15mm and then having to do a separate force for the weekend in 20mm. The main reason for this is due to not having anything for the desert so terrain and forces will have to be made from scratch so why not do 20mm.<br />
<br />
Finally James and I have been playing some scenarios that James has come up with based around key airborne actions in Normany (well the first week or two). We have played the scenario and then swtiched sides and made some modifications to make the game either flow or have a slightly better balance.<br />
<br />
Below are a few of the pictures that I managed to get at the Battlegroup: Barbarossa weekend.<br />

So I hope to have another update shortly with plans for the new year and can show off my gang that I painted for Deadmans Hand. I have also started the AWI in 28mm so this is going to be quite a pr0ject for 2016 and it would be nice to do regular updates on it. </div>

This time we focused on the British experience of D-Day and the fighting just behind the beaches (mainly D-day to D +7).<br />
We finished with a trip to Villers Bocage to look at Wittman's and the later action around that now famous village. The final stop being at Hill 112 (another wargamers favourite but so often doesn't resemble the actual terrain or forces). Very interesting to be up there again and there is so much shrapnel still in the fields (bits of it had been placed on or next to the new Infantry memorial at the top of 112.<br />
<br />
So here are a few pictures and I hope to have a bit more detail up in the next few days.<br />

The view from the Hillman strongpoint showed why this was such a vital D-Day objective. The action here is also really interesting to follow.<br />

On another note I have finished painting some more scenery and also some more for my Epic Chaos forces.<br />
<br />
Sunday should be fun as SELWG has once again come around and I always enjoy this wargames show. More Vietnam stuff to pick up and may make a start on the Wild West terrain if there are any 4Ground products are there.Carlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18377032965786938018noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1871627223547000793.post-52094567527507628972015-09-20T03:09:00.000-07:002015-09-20T03:09:28.553-07:00Charlie Don't SurfLast night I finally managed to get a game in of Charlie Don't Surf. For a first outing it was a lot of fun ( I played the role of the umpire).<br />
<br />
However there were a few thoughts that came up when playing or trying to play.<br />
<br />
The first is that the rulebook is a bit of a muddle when first playing the game and trying to work your way around it for certain aspects or abilities of your troops.<br />
The playsheets help but I think it would be an idea to also have a summery section of how the game deck starts and when you add cards in (all this is in the book but each bit is under its own section which means you have to have read the book cover to cover and remember where something is mentioned etc).<br />
The second aspect is that the wording is sometimes not that clear on intent. Which is fine with an umpire but could cause some issues.<br />
<br />
Once the game gets going it does tend to flow however and doesn't feel like it takes forever to resolve something.<br />
<br />
The scenario we played was from the expansion and was the Great Rice Hunt. This proved a lot of fun but we needed a bit more cover. Was interesting to see how players that are used to only using army lists and having what they want, handled the situation.<br />
The blinds added another dimension to the game as well. However due to where both sides had opted to deploy they actually ran straight into each other so there wasn't much opportunity for sneaky manoeuvring. This led the game in the direction of a very messy firefight.<br />
<br />
The end result was an overwhelming victory to the VC forces both with a military and a political victory. If the game had carried on it might have swung in the favour of the US forces for a military victory.<br />
<br />
Either way was a fun first game with plenty of mistakes made. Next game should be interesting as I know the rules a bit better now and can introduce further aspects. <br />
<br />
No pictures again this week (mainly because the terrain is not fully finished so wouldn't make for a good look photo).Carlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18377032965786938018noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1871627223547000793.post-23813904174657657732015-09-07T14:56:00.000-07:002015-09-07T14:56:10.187-07:00Quick UpdateThe last week has seen the Defilers getting finished and the Decimator Engine for my Chaos getting painted. Just need to finish the bases on the Defilers and also finish the Decimator and then I can get some pictures up on here.<br />
Still working out what to paint next for my Epic Chaos Black Legion force. I am thinking of painting another retinue up along with transport and possibly some Noise Marines to give myself a break from all the black and gold that I have been painting.<br />
<br />
I got given a copy of Frost Grave as a present by a friend which was nice, still need to find time to have a read through and rope some friends into a game or two (much easier said than done).<br />
<br />
Talking of rules sets, I have also been reading through Charlie Don't Surf as I should have enough figures painted to put a small game on. Ideally I want to paint another platoon or two of Yanks but for the time being should have enough for a demo game to some friends. Just need to get the scenery finished for the game.<br />
<br />
Aside from all of this I have been busy reading up on 6th Airbornes exploits on D-Day and the weeks following. Going to be taking some friends on a battlefield tour of 6th Airbornes Area of Operations. Then visiting Sword beach among other areas related to the British and Canadian involvement in Normandy.<br />
Sword Beach is proving quite interesting to read about and already I have ideas for a few scenarios for Battlegroup Overlord. Naturally the actions of 6th Airborne lend themselves quite well to the sort of game that Battlegroup is so I hope to be able to write a number of scenarios up soon.<br />
<br />
Well that is all for this week, hopefully I will get some more pictures up shortly.Carlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18377032965786938018noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1871627223547000793.post-20352442913924646052015-08-25T15:59:00.001-07:002015-08-25T15:59:50.016-07:00Some Recent Hobby ActionOk so most of this post is from a few weeks ago. But work and research for an upcoming battlefield tour have meant that there has not been a good deal of hobby time.<br />

First up are the finished Chaos Rhino's and Predators for my Epic Armageddon "Black Legion".<br />

I didn't really get any good shots of the two armies but I will remedy that soon enough. But James has a very nice scenery collection that comes from a range of manufacturers but he has done a great job with the painting and basing to get it all to match in together.<br />
<br />
Currently working my way through a unit of Chaos Defilers that should be completed within the next week or so. They are a pleasure to paint, just finding the time that is the problem.<br />
<br />
I also took advantage of the sale by Plastic Soldier Company to get some more tanks in 20mm for my early/mid war Germans. I will be going to the Barbarossa campaign weekend later in the year, most of the armour that I have is all in late war camo schemes so need to get painting grey. These should take too long to do and for the Infantry I am just going to add some more details. Most of the uniforms will just about do, I might add a few new figures into the mix to give the platoons a bit more of an "early" feel. The main thing is that they all have the correct weapons.<br />
<br />
Finally here is a quick picture of some of the reading material that I am going through.<br />

Not sure how much of this lot will get read cover to cover as I have more books to go through. Currently working on the 6th Airborne research.Carlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18377032965786938018noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1871627223547000793.post-11883635857128653412015-08-11T15:42:00.002-07:002015-08-11T15:42:25.123-07:00Battle Group Fall of the Reich and Epic Armageddon Game Ulthwe Vs SkitariiThis weekend was a good one not only for the weather but also for gaming as I managed to get two games in.<br />
<br />
Saturday afternoon saw James and I replay the Bridgehead Breakout Scenario, this time we kept the forces the same and switched sides. This made for a very interesting game as we both knew what worked and what didn't for each force based on the last game.<br />
This was one of the most enjoyable games that I have played in a long time, the game was very close and finished with the Airborne going beyond their breakpoint and the German force being 2 points away from breaking. Nail bitingly close to say the least, just a shame that we didn't manage to get any pictures of the game.<br />
<br />
Sunday saw an outing for my Ulthwe force against the Skitarii, again this was 3K points Epic Armageddon using the Net Epic Armageddon list and proved to be a very interesting game as I took a very different style of list to what I am used to. I relied a lot on a Storm Serpent and a Webway to deploy two formations of Guardians and one of Black Guardians.<br />
I had added a few extras to a couple of the formations in the form of Wraithguard, these proved to be worth the points invested.<br />
<br />
The Revenant Titans took a beating and spent most of the game broken which was frustrating as they were probably my hardest hitting unit for range and damage that they could deal out. They did absorb a lot of firepower however so the trade off was worth it.<br />
<br />
The Storm Serpent was also very useful and I think it will be a a regular fixture in the list. It helps that I have a proxy ready to get painted in the scheme ( I was using another proxy from my Dropzone Commander Shaltari Force which was painted in a yellow scheme, thankfully I have a spare so that will be done in Black and Gold).<br />
<br />
The Epic game was also another very close game that had to be called when we ran out of time. I would say that the game could have gone either way based on the next few activations, if it had been tied and gone to points then I think I may well have stolen it.<br />
<br />
Either way it was a great game for learning different aspects of how to use the army and also of Epic Armageddon full stop.<br />
<br />
I also managed to get the Rhino's and Predators finished for my Black Legion so the Defilers are awaiting their turn on the spraying bench ready to be painted up. The question is what unit to build and paint after them?Carlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18377032965786938018noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1871627223547000793.post-52180553004979300702015-07-27T15:50:00.001-07:002015-07-27T15:50:19.714-07:00Black Legion update<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Another short update. Having made great progress on the Vietnam front (having painted around 80 Viet Cong) and having played a game of Epic Armageddon, I have decided to have a slight break from the Vietnam project and push on with my Black Legion force. </div>

Still trying to work out what I want to include in this force but along with the Defilers I have a unit of Chaos Predators and another Retinue along with Rhinos for both retinues to paint.<br />
Then I will probably put the two Feral Titans together with one being quite converted.<br />
<br />
The other question is do I go for Hell Talons or Hell Blades?<br />
<br />
I hope to get a game in with my Ulthwe again this week at some point, learnt a fair bit from the last game and with talking with people on the excellent Taccoms site.

There have been some fantastic Epic armies and forces shown.<br />
I used the opportunity to take some pictures of my 3000pt Ork force. This force was initially started well over 10 years ago but never finished and in the last six months I have taken the opportunity to redo some of the units and finish others. There are still some many stands of infantry and various other support units still to be painted for the Orks but I am going to leave it at this for the time being while I finish my Ulthwe and Chaos forces.<br />
<br />
So here are some pictures of my Ork army. The list is Ghazgull's Warhost but I have painted them as an Evil Sunz Klan.<br />

<span id="goog_1317502665"></span>I hope to get some more games of Epic in over the next few weeks and hopefully will get some pictures up. I also hope to find time to paint some more of my Chaos units as I really want to give that army a try.<br />
<br />
The Vietnam project is coming along nicely, going to get some of the scenery sprayed up today ready for painting.<br />

For this game we decided that we would play a standard 3K game using the tournament scenario.<br />
<br />
My regular opponent Neil took his Ad Mech force which had a good mix of units (don't have the list to hand I am afraid).<br />
<br />
I took an Ulthwe force as I wanted to give the Eldar another go and also to use a different force to my Orks.<br />

I am not sure that this was the best list to take for the Ulthwe force but it felt like it had a good mix of units at least.<br />
<br />
I would post up a battle report of all the action.....except it lasted only two turns and the Eldar got walked over without really getting to do much. The Ad Mech forces blasted various formations and either broke them or dealt out so many blast makers that the formation was not that effective.<br />
Bad dice rolls also meant that the few engagements that I was able to initiate went horribly wrong.<br />
<br />
This was probably the harshest game of Epic Armageddon that I have played. I had expected a bit of a learning curve with the Eldar, but this was very humbling.<br />
<br />
Not to be daunted I am going back to the drawing board with the list and will probably drop the Phoenix Bombers and some thing else to take two revenants. <br />
<br />
I think a few of the formations could also do with being larger. But I will have to have another read of the list and various special rules. Hopefully using the Eldar with give me some experience for using my Chaos once they are finally painted.<br />
<br />
In other hobby related news the VC have been painted and ready for a few minor details on a couple of specialist figures and final touches added to the bases. I hope to have some pictures up by this time next week.<br />

<br />
We played Fall of the Reich (One of the Battlegroup supplements). We decided that we would use British Airborne against a scratch German force made up of mostly support Halftracks and Volks Grenadier.<br />
Next was the scenario and we decided to try Bridgehead Breakout and work out forces to roughly 450 points a side.<br />
<br />
For the Airborne I took pretty much most of what was painted (they are newly painted by James so good to get them on the table).<br />
<br />
Two Platoons of infantry each with a Vickers.<br />
Then from the Overlord book we used the points and battle rating for the Airborne HQ and Recon squad.<br />
These were backed up by some off table 3" mortars.<br />
<br />

As you can see it was a fairly small force and lacked a bit of punch.<br />
<br />

The German force was likewise based around two platoons of infantry.<br />
HQ in a Halftrack<br />
A Flame Halftrack<br />
A support haltrack (cannot remember the name)<br />
A Pz II (the fact that this was a mortar spotter caused me some issues in the first two turns).<br />
An Infantry gun was also taken.<br />
Some additional morale (rolled a 1 for this)<br />
Finally support arrived in the form of 120mm mortars (off table).<br />

The battle rating for the Paras was 39<br />
The Germans was a lower 28<br />
<br />
For objective we had the bridge (as per the scenario), The farmhouse in the center of the table and the industrial building along the main road running from the bridge. We felt that these should create some interesting situations and challenges (rather than just placing markers somewhere on the table).<br />

The Germans only started with the Pz II on the table where as the Paras managed to start with five units on the table. The recon squad was backed up with a Piat team behind the hill while another squad along with a Piat team and a platoon command deployed into the woods ready to advance to the farm house and secure the objective there.<br />

The paras manage to get across the ford, only to be stopped in the woods and corn stubble. The orders being poor (on average 6-7 a turn) meant the Paras could not get the impetus needed to make a push on the farm house.<br />

With the Germans in control of two out of three objectives and the Paras pinned around the ford, it was time to concede the field and fall back. The paras strength has really been sapped in the battle for the farm house. Some unlucky order rolls and an aweful lot of failed morale checks leading to pinned or retreating units meant the Paras just could not muster the strength to recapture the farm house.<br />
The Germans on the other had got quite lucky with a few vital order rolls and Beyond the Call of Duty morale rolls. The German losses were actually quite light and they had mustered in strength around the fields and farm house.<br />
<br />
The game was a lot of fun in the early turns when, both sides made use of the Reserve move order, leading to plenty of Reserve fire orders. It was really difficult to get the Paras moving once the attack had stalled and lacking any long range threat to the half tracks (other than pinning them) forced the paras on to the defence.<br />

I have plenty of trees that work for 28mm games and are all based individually. Recently I have been playing a lot more games in 20,15 and 6mm so needed some smaller scale trees.<br />
<br />
I managed to obtain around 50 trees from Ebay for under £10 including shipping. They are very nice trees and really work well with 15 and 20mm figures. The only drawback is that I could not work out an easy way of basing them individually so opted to make bases that hold around 5 trees each (I have tended to prefer individual trees and then use felt templates if wanting to represent a wooded area). I have made the bases from fibreboard as it is easy to cut and shape, doesnt warp too easily and is cheap.<br />
<br />

After drilling the holes for the trees I used PVA to fix them to the base and then applied some filler to help hold them in place and give the base some texture. The filler also helps them look more like trees with roots etc.<br />

I still need to texture the bases with my sand mix and then paint the bases. Should not take much longer to have them done. Then I will start on my river sections, also fibreboard and filler. Just need to work out how I am going to get the shade for the river. I am thinking somewhere between green and brown for the water.<br />
<br />
Also on the work station are my Vietnam figures. Another batch have been undercoated and the basecoat is being applied. Once these are painted then it will be time to try out the rules for "Charlie Don't Surf". Which I am looking forward to trying.<br />

Just finished basing an other platoon or so of VC.<br />

They are quite nice figures and so far have been ok to paint. The only thing with this batch is it includes some of the Battlefront VC figures which are not up to the same standard as the Peter Pig ones.<br />
<br />
Once these are painted then it will be onto the buildings before trying to finish the US forces. Which also includes sourcing some Huey's ( I really hope that Battlefront get round to doing some plastic ones).<br />
<br />
Also on the painting desk are my Wild West figures. Hopefully I will be able to make a start on these soon enough.Carlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18377032965786938018noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1871627223547000793.post-51560033826926482922015-03-30T16:07:00.004-07:002015-03-30T16:07:52.296-07:00The last week<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Last week may not have been the most productive week for hobby related activity but it did see me push on with my Vietnam project. As you can see the 'spray tray' was loaded up with the VC and also an objective marker for Epic Armageddon. The black primer not being as much of a basecoat as I had wanted. Instead I settled for a very dark Brown by Vallejo (cannot remember the name right now) followed by a drybrush of Stormvermin Fur. </div>

I was also lucky to get another game of Epic Armageddon in against my regular opponent. He took his Blood Angels and I used my tried and tested Ork list. I think the list I use has a fair few flaws in it but it is 100% painted now (the final coat of paint going onto the Kult of Speed that is unfinished in the picture below after this game). Both Armies were 3000pts</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This was my first game against the Blood Angels list and it was quite short and Brutal with the Orks managing to snatch a victory through one of the 'Big Warbands' claiming two objectives.</div>

As ever once the game got going I forgot to take pictures. Certainly a sign of an engrossing game and Epic really can be a thinking game and produce real nail biting finishes. The game taught me not to bunch formations to tightly (even when there are no templates in the opposing list) as the intermingled formation rule can really throw a spanner into the works. It was also the first game where the Kult of Speed made up of Buggies and Skorchas not only survived the game but also played an active part (normally they get blasted and spend the rest of the game broken).<br />

The final event of last week was getting my hands on the Necron codex. Now I haven't played 40K in around 10 or so months and decided on a whim that the codex could be worth the investment as I have a fully painted Necron Army. Only draw back is I now need to reread the main rulebook and work out how to pick an army. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
One very quick criticism of the Codex is the colour section. One of the feature armies hasn't been finished and the silver from the dry brushing is still visible on the Scarab bases (photo from base height so very noticeable). More on the codex another time. </div>

Who I am to turn down an opportunity to pick up some supplements at a discount.<br />
<br />
I have picked up 'Surfs Up' for 'Charlie Don't Surf'. I figured this would be good for scenarios and some further reading on the subject. first impressions don't disappoint and I can see myself and my gaming group getting some use out of this.<br />
<br />
The other supplement that I have picked up is 'Kampfgruppe Von Luck', while I don't play 'Chain of Command' I really like the idea of these supplements and they provide some inspiration for games of Battlegroup (even if the forces are on the small side). The other reason for picking these up is to do some research on supplements and what is available. Like 'Surfs Up' KGVon Luck doesn't disappoint and has plenty of background information before getting to the actual campaign rules.<br />
<br />
Having finished my US infantry for Vietnam, I have pushed on and got the Volksturm painted and just got to finish the bases.<br />
Next is to get some Chaos Rhinos painted for Epic and get some of my other Chaos units put together. Then it is time to push on with getting the VC painted up.Carlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18377032965786938018noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1871627223547000793.post-64471863970919533062015-03-14T06:29:00.000-07:002015-03-14T06:29:01.098-07:00Vietnam in 15mm<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This week I managed to stay and finish painting my Americans for Charlie don't Surf. The figures are by Peter Pig and was a joy to paint. A good level of detail and good poses.</div>

Just need to paint some officers and get the VC painted. This should get done in the next week or so. Then i hope to expand the collection a bit at Salute.</div>

<br />
While near to Omaha beach we managed to find a way up to WN60 which was very worth the trek to the top.<br />
Bunkers and crawl trenches are still there and you can spend a good few hours exploring these and the views from the top.<br />
<br />
Pointe du Hoc was also worth a visit to see the power of Naval and Air bombardment.<br />
<br />
Overall it was a great trip and plenty of ideas for the scenario book.<br />
<br />
Pictures to come once I have had a chance to download them from my camera.<br />
<br />
In the meantime I have made a start on my GIs for Charlie Don't Surf. They should be finished in the next few days and then it is on to the VC.Carlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18377032965786938018noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1871627223547000793.post-91013469616164670832015-02-24T14:22:00.001-08:002015-02-24T14:22:28.800-08:00Some photos from various Epic Armageddon Games Now that I finally have a fully working laptop I thought that I would post up some pictures of the games we have been playing. The last game that was played I unfortunately forgot to take pictures.<br />
<br />
The last game pitted my Orks against my friends Skitarii list. We played 3K points and it produced quite a good game and fairly close until the end of turn 3 where my friend failed two very crucial orders.<br />
The end result was a victory for the Orks but I can say that the Skitarii pack a punch and have some very nasty kit at their disposal.<br />
<br />
So on with the pictures from a variety of games that have been played over the last month or so. The games have all been 3K in points and pitted my Orks against Neil's Space Marines.<br />

It is one of my favorite shows as there are always some great games to see, some good traders and it is also not a huge show.<br />
<br />
So what did I see there. Two games really caught my attention and both are on y to do list.<br />
The first was a wild west gunfilght with some amazing MDF terrain (really suite this theme). The second was a Vietnam game that I had seen before at SELWG. Vietnam is a period and conflict that I have wanted to do for a while. The game just looked amazing and the rules got a really good review from the club putting the game on.<br />
<br />
This resulted in a walkn to the Peter Pig stand and the purchase of some VC and US Infantry, enough to here started. Also lead to the purchase of the main rule book.<br />
Aside from that I managed to pick up a few good books on various Normandy related subjects for my interest in Battlefield touring.<br />

I based the scenario on the "End of the Rat Race" scenario from the book. I choose both forces with the Americans having a higher points total. However the American force was loosely based upon a recce style force so plenty of light vehicles and armoured infantry and an air controller. Due to not having enough Stuart's assembled and painted ( we both thought there was a squadron done) an M10 took its place.<br />
<br />
The German list was based around a scratch holding company backed up by a King Tiger and some NebelWerfer and mortar support. They also had trenches to deploy in, which would make them less obvious that the buildings and there was also a booby trapped building thrown in for a little mischief.<br />
<br />
As I had designed both lists I allowed my opponent to pick which force that he used.<br />
<br />
The game was a lot of fun with the Germans initially managing to stymie and hold the Americans at bay. American weight of numbers and plenty of vehicles began to tell and they were able to start clearing the forward German positions.<br />
<br />
German reinforcements began to filter on to the table but orders were a bit of an issue. However the final nail in the coffin was a turn which saw the King Tiger crew bail out and surrender ( after having had an Out of Fuel, Breakdown and finally another Out of Fuel chit played on it over a number of turns) and the artillery and mortars failed to be called in.<br />
<br />
With the German over their break limit the remaining Volksgrenadiers withdraw leaving the bloodied American recon group occupying the village.<br />
<br />
I think the scenario worked well and the forces for both sides worked well as neither had the exact tools needed. While an additional anti tankgun for the Germans would have been welcome, I feel that it may have been very difficult for the Americans to make much headway. They had their work cut out for them trying to deal with the King Tiger as it was. They also had to be careful about getting too close to German infantry as every squad had a panzerfaust. The trenches for the Germans proved very useful but the booby trapped building felt like a let down. I expected a bit of fun with this but it seemed really lacklustre. That being said it was a interesting addition to the German force.<br />
