City Fight Edition. We played at the club with three a side..Aliens (aka Tyranids and Genestealer cults) with chaos support were holding the city and we,the human forces had to push them back.
There were huge casualties on both sides. Sadly it ended in a draw. Although we cleared out the left flank and centre we didn’t have enough time or resources to push on.
It was a good game all round.
Well that is it over with for another year… the action with the tanks quite often place at very close range. Below we see part of the table set up
Anyway I got possed every game of the three I played.
In two cases I was destroyed on the first hit!
The Char B above finished off my MKIII then turned its attention on my MKII. If it had survived the honey was waiting to finish it off.
Things got up close and personal between these two, with the MKIII eventually coming off worse.
Other games were Bolt action…
Some Pod Racing action…
Some board games…
And some Magic the Gathering card games which I didn’t bother photographing.
We also had a ZTV game that never got off the ground as the organiser of that was also our meet and greeter.
It was a bit disappointing in terms of numbers, last year we must have had fifty plus people attending. This year was ten. Two of them were my children. In hindsight the middle weekend of the October half term (we get two up here) probably wasn’t the best, but for three weeks before we had the fiddle and accordion week with wool week (which sort of stretched to two) before that. The next few weekends are Halloween parties with our venue being booked out again. We decided there is no right time As whenever we choose is going to clash with something going on.
On the up side we met eight potential members for the club. Everyone was impressed by the 3D printed stuff and general terrain, Personally I was a bit miffed with the lack of consistent mat arrangements 😱.
Well now that I have finished painting tanks and making terrain I thought I had better paint something else…
Therefore I decided to paint some orks.
These are 10mm Pendraken. It is all I have of these, but I will give them a test paint and if I like them then I will get an army pack to fight my elves.
Thule Gamers ran our annual mini convention today
This was my participation table using the gladiator games.
I didn’t stop all, day. At one point I had to ask people to give me ten minutes to eat my chips with cheese. They were already cold but I was really hungry!
The rules worked a treat and the game itself seemed to be popular, well people kept coming back to have another go more than once.
Some of the other games were as follows:
Star Wars – my kids spent all day playing this.
A Hordes of the Things Sci Fi battle on Mars, a bit of a participation game too.
A board game or two, not sure what this one was, it was in a massive box though.I nicked this photo from my mate as I didn’t really get the chance to get about once things kicked off.
There was a D&D table, no-one joined in, but I think it was more to ask questions than to take part. Another table was playing Magic the Gathering.
Finally a demonstration game in 28mm ‘Full Metal Jacket-the game’. Well maybe not but it was Vietnam.
It was the busiest one to date so a definite success. I am now going to have a think about what to do next year. I don’t know why I bother, I generally have a plan all year and then change my mind in the last couple of months. As an example: I was going to run Gaslands, but decided against it about six weeks ago.
My plan was to get some painting done tonight, but to be honest I am too knackered.
Back to painting tomorrow I think…
