tabletop mog friday 10 february 2023 what do you mean wargames butterfly although i haven t been doing the social media and actually not been playing too many games a moment to reflect this afternoon and i realise that i have been keeping the hobby juices ticking over is that a thing can you keep juices ticking whatever one thing is clear though is that i have no focus not only have i been making a bit of a start on a new ho switching layout which is now wired and running and entering testing mode but i have also unapolgetically been butterflying wargameswise tom and i had a game of dan mersey s armoured storm using a bunch of 1 285 tanks that i ve 3d printed i ve basically taken the excellent bergmann models and done a bit of tweaking and shrinking in tinkercad to create reasonable little tokens that vaguely resemble the right tanks dedicated measuring sticks for next time the game was good fun and certainly got ideas flowing i think scenarios are key to making this work and as there are no lists or anything making sure that we pick forces that aren t too unbalanced too tom had outnumbered crusaders up against a mix of pz 2 3 and 4 and didn t really stand much of a chance we ve also played a bit more xenos rampant i spun up a list using some figures that i ve been painting for five parsecs mostly light infantry and we played two games last night where they were pretty outclassed and outplayed by tom s orks back to the drawing board although i like the theme of this detachment a cobbled together force of ship s crew local starport guards and miscellaneous civilians supported by one unit of heavy tangermarines mostly stargrave crew from northstar wargames atlantic cannon fodder sergeant satsuma steps back as the barrage from orbiting escort falls on his pursuers lightly armed civilians unable to stop the ork convoy lastly for now i ve also just finished off a long term project painting and basing 10mm 1848 danish and schleswig holstein armies for playing neil thomas 19th century wargames i ve already got a dedicated fleece cloth that i d painted up and played before using 6mm 1866 so all set to play some battles 4 x3 fleece painted up for these rules

xenos rampant saturday 17 december 2022 tangermarines tangermarines so had my first play of xenos rampant just about two weeks ago and look what happened this must be one of the quickest armies i ve ever painted i enjoyed that first game so much that within a few days i d ordered a bunch of second hand space marines off ebay all built and mostly primed grey they arrived pretty quickly especially considering the current postal chaos and i quickly set to work fixing up small repairs and giving them a fresh prime of grey and white whilst i was doing this i was trying to decide which of the new speedpaints from my starter set i was going to use as the main colour for this lot not really interested in doing it properly ie gw space marine chapters or whatever they re called and pretty randomly settled for the fire giant orange these were really quick to paint and although they wouldn t win prizes i m loving the overall look of the unit they are mostly painted using the speedpaints with some black and silver normal acrylics used too the boss not captain jaffa as i m trying to avoid any more puns fighty jump packy types assault marines the tangermarines name came upon me late at night and i thought it was hilarious i don t think it s that funny now but i m truly worried that it has stuck hardly the most terror inspiring name for a unit of fighty shooty space soldiers fifteen marines so maybe two or three xr squads anyway it also occurred to me that xr allows you to field vehicles and a stompy fighty thing might be fun as evidenced by tom s stompy fighty orcish thingy so an internet search found me the stl files for a suitable kit and a few hours later we have this do these things normally have names not sure but i suspect that this may get shade of orange too anyway i suspect that this lot will be far to pricey in xenos rampant points to field all at once in a standard game i hope to get the book at christmas and i ll point them up but i don t care not exactly a problem having too many tangermarines posted by mog at 20 58 no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels 28mm 3d printing painting space marines speedpaint xenos rampant monday 5 december 2022 five parsecs solo scifi fun and speedpaint fun i mentioned in the last post xenos rampant game that i never really played any scifi games and that s true although in recent weeks that has changed just a tiny bit i came across a game called five parsecs from home a bit late to the party i know but the fact that it is predominantly a solo campaign game appealed i won t review the game itself as there are plenty of good reviews and play throughs out there i ve enjoyed rolling up my first crew led by dash herand and playing the first game in their campaign they came up against three rage lizard mercenaries and completed that mission successfully the game has definite rpg elements with character backgrounds and sets of skills really fleshing out the crew as well as my crew i need random enemy dudes for them to fight against i considered 15mm lazerburn but was persuaded by northstar nick to pick up a box of the stargrave miniatures at the last partizan and grabbed a sprue of the female crew along with some other figs online i ve since also received an army painter speed paint starter set and i think you can tell which of these minis received those i ve also picked up some space marines for future xenos games so looking forward to getting some speedpaint on them too stargrave crew figures speedpaint wargames atlantic lizardmen wargames atlantic cannon fodder trying out speedpaint on more stargrave figs dash and some of his crew a few more crew figures posted by mog at 20 20 no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share

the latest of the rampant series from dan mersey and co i haven t yet got the book it s on my chrimble list and apart from some recently acquired crews for five parsecs i don t really have any scifi stuff i once had a 40k starter box painted it all and sold it all when the son wasn t actually interested however i enjoyed the nostalgia that tom and matt shared and can see me scouting fleabay for space marines it s fair to say that we re fans of the rampant rulesets and we had a great couple of games with orks and space marines having a go at each other on tom s jungly table there were some subtle differences to the dragon rampant game i m most familiar with with free activations in particular giving a little more nuance to troop types but it was mostly quite intuitive and honest dice rolling fun which was matters really ork stompy thing and space marines bashing each other to a standstill ork nobs in the fart cactii a 4x4 table is plenty for a game of xenos the remainder of two units after combat brutal hand to hand in the jungle scouty types sneaky beggars solid shooty fighty space marines normal sized not thousands but lots of em tom has made the most of the aquarium

monday 24 october 2022 the other partizan wargame show october 2022 mortimers cross a couple of weeks ago saw the second partizan show of the year and as always it was a cracking show i may be biased as it s my local but honestly i think i m just very lucky that my local show happens to be one of the best the morris and chums game this time was mortimers cross a fun wars of the roses bash using james upcoming midgard rules chris winston ab rees and james did the planning and the armies were made up of our pooled collections again i painted up some extra horse especially for the day too these formed owen tudor s mounted wing i even got to use a couple of really old scratchbuilt buildings which received a little tart up before taking to the table full accounts from tom and james here http

roses youtube wednesday 31 august 2022 dragons and lions rampant on sunday tom and i decided to have a game of dragon rampant we haven t played for a while but knew that it would be easy on the brainicles tom joked that i had posted a tutorial video on dragon rampant so should know the rules i hadn t thought of it like that but watching it again i see what he meant in our pre game texts we agreed to take 30 points and to go old school tom has gw history and still plays wfb regularly i ve never really done more than dip my toe but recently was gifted a rather lovely collection of vintage wood elves which i ve been in the process of refurbishing so wood elves vs night goblins it was the experts will no doubt spot that the mounted elves are not gw but still of a respectable vintage tom has written up a nice goblin centric account of the game on his blog so just some pics love these troll figures then on monday evening enthused by our dragon rampant game and my recent purchase of the new edition of lion rampant i set out a little solo game on my dining table using some wars of the roses figures i used the standard armies from the book and played the second scenario gladiators where a pre battle duel gave each side some extra dice i played bourchier who was rash with wild charge against stanley blessed which allowed him to reroll a set of dice he picked the wrong ones as it happens this was by no means a historical match up just what i had available it was a very quick game and ended by the untimely demise of thomas stanley one of the commanders but gave me a taste for more rampant games one elite foot one veteran heavy infantry and two veteran archers men at arms clash bringing down young stanley posted by mog at 21 36 no comments email this blogthis share to x
