Game day picture – Caption Contest!

Had a great game day today with one of my regular sparring partners Marc and we had big fun with Space Wolves vs. Nurgle, 1250 points. Special rules were “no vehicles” – we agreed to try no vehicle lists. Dreadnoughts/walkers were allowed but neither of us took them. It was a great back and forth game, and Space Wolves ended up victorious. Highlights included the last turn of the game and the last Plague Marine, about to be charged by a Grey Hunter squad with a fist, did overwatch fire with his plasma gun, and died on a Gets Hot!…

Zone Mortalis Game Day – Pictures

Last weekend we had a Zone Mortalis game day. The rules are captured in the ForgeWorld Horus Heresy Book 1 – “Betrayal” book.

Tyranid Zoanthropes

Got my Zoanthropes done. I have a total of 6 of these dudes now. I find them great on a lot of levels, if only for pure frustration / aggravation of my opponent! That 3+ warp field save is pretty hard to get through. They pack a very good punch and I find them in every bug list I’ve played to-date. These guys are slightly converted. I built up the base to have rubble and/or rocks, as I wasn’t a huge fan of him “surfing a bug tail”. The first set of 3 that I made was the original pewter…
