Battle Report - King of the Hill

 Hello Folks,

Today was 40k 3rd ed day at fandom so headed down for some gaming, Biel-Tan Eldar vs Stirm Giants. We found a huge hill so decides to whack it down and play king of the hill. Took ot a step further and put a tower on it.

Here's the setup, avatar taking the van, backed up by dark reapers. Fire dragons in a wave serpent taking cover, banshees to go up the path on the hill, and scorpions infiltrated on top on the woods.

I got the first move luckily, serpent advanced, failed to kill the demolisher, but the reaper 3xarch got a glancing hit and rolled a 6 destroying it.

Giants fire back trying to kill the serpent, having dragons fly around is not good for business. They kill my bright lances, but I can still fly.

Dragons hop up and put the hurt on 1 squad, reapers do the same for another and the avatar kills a rhino.

Terminators drop on on the hill and the focus shifts. I have scorpions and banshees woth Jain Zar to fight them off.

The marines get in position and do a bot of shooting. If i can get a charge with most of the banshees alive I figure I'm good, but they will get shot up easy.

Fire dragons come back to say hello, and the scorpions won a charge. Marines command squad and terminators both forced back.

Marines re-grouping shoot up the scorpions.

Marines back for round 2. Flames and bolters kill all the banshees except jain zar.

At this point I guess ot got I teresting and I forgot the pics!

End result jain zar killed the terminators, got cut diwn by the captain, the the dragons melted everything the Marines had left.

Fun game, everything went my way in the start, but the Marines fought it back allot once we got into the tight jungle action!

Hoping to paint some more Chaos for next time.

Thanks;

Battle Report - By Fire and Sword

 Hello Folks,

Took my Ottomans down to the club today to face off against I think sweedish, and try out the new version of By Fire and Sword.

Long set up but we ended up playing the Raid scenario with me defending, recon wise we ended up with a few disruption each, I had a unit flanking, and the enemy had a pretty forward Vanguard unit.

The whole pregame system is pretty cool, but it's also complicated and takes awhile.

Here's the set up, I have my best units to the left going for a refused flank I guess. But pretty outnumbered. I got the initiative and immedatly charged the enemy's small Vanguard with my deli. But they got 2 hits in defensive fire, I failed both saves, with morale tests and retreated. My siphai did ok thou.

Artillery on the other flank pushing back my units and knocing out their order. My plan is to try the same on the left, but my forward unit has allot of disruption so need to be a bit lucky.

But I am not and start loosing units and get overwhelmed and forced back. Only the deli really fought in the end.

Pretty much all my units dead and the enemy burning the objectives

A fun loss. First game of the new Fire and Sword, I like it better for sure. The whole missions thing and different sized armies is great, it can be quite allot of soecial rules and to many tokens, but it is fun so that's the main thing. Units are fast and hit hard, it's a cav world for sure.

Bonus shot of some fantastic battles. Banshees getting the flank on some fools!

Thanks;

Painting - Saga 100 Years War English

 Hello Folks,

Finished of my next saga army today, 100 years war English for the Age of Chilvary. Just a box of perry Agincourt English army and a couple of metal guys to be a warlord and knight.

Plan to come back and expand this with sone of the mercenary options, but have to change gears now so that's it for a bit.

Also ended up getting a Mathilda tank fir my birthday and found that fun to paint so did a armored car as well.

Few vehicles for the brits.

Next project is more old west stuff fir cangames, then hopefully some extra saga terrain.
