Chaos vs. Ork... Apocalypse

About two months have passed since me and my wife moved to Utah. While I was awaiting my wifes arrival I had the opportunity to stay with my old friend Churoc. One night we decided to try out the new Apocalypse rules. I ran a mixed Chaos force against his mighty Ork Horde.

The first three turns were dominated by the Chaos legions until the realization that I did not have an answer for the Ubber Stompa. The rest of the game was spent trying to hold on tenaciously to the objectives I held.

Unfortunatley if you are going to play Apocalypse, and your facing a super heavy, well you better bring one yourself :) It was a exciting game and the highlights for my army were the Thousand Son's deploying into the center of the Ork Horde via Drop pod, having the screamers decimate tanks, and the lone Thousand Sons Sorceror who held out for three turns in Hand to Hand combat with three killer cans, the Ubber Stompa, and killing two of the cans before meeting his demise...

Who I am in Jane Austin Land

What Jane Austen Hero Are You? (For Guys)

Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy from Pride and Prejudice----While you may seem to have every virtue, do remember that you are not perfect."Mr. Darcy soon drew the attention of the room by his fine, tall person, handsome features, noble mien, and the report, which was in general circulation within five minutes after his entrance, of his having ten thousand a year. The gentlemen pronounced him to be a fine figure of a man, the ladies declared he was much handsomer than Mr. Bingley, and he was looked at with great admiration..."

Very Heresy

Well the situation at the restaraunt has not yet improved. However, I do recieve two days off a week minimum from now on :) Now that I have some extra time on my hands I can do some more posting, wargaming, and painting.

This current post is for the Provo Boys, you know who you are, so they can see the Horus Heresy era armour I have been working on. As I stated in an earlier post I like the pre heresy rules set and am thus in the midst of creating pre heresy armour for the armies I play.

The following pictures are the three suits of armour I will be incorporating in my armies on a massive scale.

Anyway it is good to have free time again and I will be posting more often... so enjoy the pictures.

Cheers

MARK IV MAXIMUS ARMOUR

MARK V HERESY ARMOUR

MARK VI CORVUS ARMOUR

Reload!

I have reloaded the Warmaster and Battlefleet Gothic gbx's for download at gigasize. I have been very busy lately managing a restaraunt and yelling at teenagers to get working :) Hope to post more later when things at the restaraunt calm down a tad. Right now we are horribly understaffed and none of are applicants can pass a drug screen :( Thus, pulling doubles and working 6-7 days a week seems to be the norm right now. Anyway, download the gbx's and play!

Horus Heresy Era Look for the Space Wolves Shadow Company

In celebration of the divine set of rules found at the Bell of Lost Souls blog the Space Wolves army I am putting together will be a pre heresy Space Wolves army. Although I would love to get my hands on some Iron Armour or Maximus Armour to kit out my army I will gladly settle for an army full of MK VI Corvus Space Marine Armour... aka Beakie Armour.

To get the right look for the MK VI Corvus Armour three the following things must be done. First, you gotta have beakie helmets... check, yup I have these in abundance. Second, you need the proper legs and torso components... check. Finally, you need one smooth shoulder pad and one studded shoulder pad... I do not have these, until now :)

Below are the eight, yes only eight, Heresy shoulder pads I have made for the Space Wolf Army. I took very small flat sided crystals and glued them to the shoulder pads. When they are painted they will look very awesome I am sure.

The Space Wolves Return!!

For the last 5 years I have been heavily invested in my Thousand Sons Chaos army. However, I only started playing the Thousand Sons since they are the ancient enemy of my true passion --the Space Wolves! Yet, I havent seen a new army list for almost 10years which has been problematic. But I have heard through the GW rumour mill that the Space Wolves will be getting an update sometime next year. Thus, to celebrate I have started to work on the Space Wolves once again. I want an army full of beakie marines and this is what most of the army will look like.



Ps... this model is simply drybrushed with the grey I am thinking of using... it is not done :)

The Start of A very Grand Cyberboard Campaign!

I thought I would post up a pic of the ponderous insanity I just placed myself in. I am in the midst of creating an original game that will be played via email via Cyberboard. However, all games need a map and maps are not fun to draw. Below is the basic rough draft of Pyric III that will be the primary planet in the online game. Once complete, I will then scan it into my computer as a bitmap and then transfer it to Cyber Design where I can lay a Hex Grid over it. After that little bit of fun the hard part begins... I will have to create gaming peices practically one pixel at a time... YAY!!!

Battlefleet Gothic Version 2 Completed

Anyone seeking to run the Demo game should download Version 1, for those wanting to play a more complete version of Battlefleet Gothic please download version 2.

Adios

Turn Sequence and How to Play Cyberboard Files Updated

I have updated the "How to Play Cyberboard File" and the "BFG Turn Sequence" and will soon revamp Battlefleet Gothic Gamebox v2 to include better rulers, pop up messages for heavy gunz/ bombardment cannon hit markers, and an updated version of the turn sequence.

The BFG Turn Sequence is now:


1. DAMAGE CONTROL. – Chance to Brace for Impact (Same bonuses and negatives and LD modifiers) and to resolve hits taken during opponents shooting and ordinance phases (Remember to roll for criticals). If bracing was successful then they will be on Brace the entire turn.

2. CARRY OVER EVENTS – Complete Enemies Boarding Actions (since the fate of some ships could not be determined), Teleport Attacks, and Critical Damage Repair (since you would have had a chance during your opponents end phase). In this order always.
· Boarding and Teleports attacks.
· Critical Damage Repair.

3. MOVE/RESOLVE OLD ORDINANCE – Move preexisting ordinance owned by player.

4. MOVEMENT – Special Orders First, Move and Resolve any Ordinance Attacks.

5. SHOOTING – Only Shoot Weapons Batteries and Lances. Place “Hits Taken During Turn” markers on hit ships. Do not resolve critical or catastrophic damage here (your opponent completes this during DAMAGE CONTROL).

6. MOVE/RESOLVE NEW ORDINANCE – Conduct new ordinance movement and attacks.

7. END PHASE – Critical Damage Repair (normal chance to do so) and Blast Marker Removal.

Turn Sequence out of Sequence

The turn sequence for Battlefleet Gothic on cyberboard is being fine tuned please don't download it quite yet... I will post another message when it is complete.

Battlefleet Gothic For Cyberboard Is Finally Complete!!

After months of sitting in front of a computer and drawing gaming pieces pixel by pixel, Battlefleet Gothic is finally ready to play via email. I have worked out many of the kinks and jinks myself, but I am sure we will find a few more as we play test it.

To download the necessary files needed to play Battlefleet Gothic simply look to the right side of my blog and look for the list entitled "Cyberboard". There you will find the Player, Designer, Help Files, Gameboxes, Demos, and Scenarios.

Before you download the files, create a file on your desktop or my documents and call it something you will remember. I call my file for cyberboard, "Cyberboard"... simple eh.

The links will take you to a site called Gigasize where you will have to download the file by entering in a three digit security code. The code and download button are on the right side of the screen. After entering in the code a countdown will begin while the file is prepared to be downloaded. During this time you may or may not be advertized to by Gigasize, if so simply decline and skip the offers. This will only take about 35 seconds. After which the file is ready to download so you will click the download button and save it to your computer and into your cyberboard folder.

To see the gamebox open the designe and then open the gamebox. Choosing the gamebox first often times brings up an annoying choose program window. When closing these files never choose to save changes unless you are the designer.

To run the Demo and Scenario files open the Player and then open the desired Demo or scenario file. (word for the wise... never change or save over what you have downloaded. Doing so makes your files different then the others and then you will not be able to play. When closing these files never choose to save changes unless you are the designer or are actually playing a game.

A while back I posted a screen shot of what the game basically looks like on wigan wargames... click the link to see the post..

Now I will finish up Warmaster, and Epic... then I can move onto 40k and Fantasy.

See y'all later...

Frozen Sea in Cape Town - South Africa

These pictures were sent to us by our Grandmother's husband in South Africa. The sea has a layer of Ice floating on the top which is moving with the waves. Some sections of the sea were apparently completley frozen solid. These are amazing pictures.
