Beyond the Gates of Antares - Herts Shard Meet Up No.3

Last night, 4 of us (Myself, Simon, Martin & Neil) from the Beyond the Gates of Antares - Herts Shard got together for a large 2v2 game. 

Allied Boromites and Concord Vs the Axis.. ahem sorry AI. 

Each Building was a objective you had to take and hold. 5 buildings spread across a 12by4 table forming the Ruins of Jungla del arco iris.

No write up just a collection of random pictures from the game.

And for those interested in ended in a draw due to running out of time.

Oldhammer meets Kings of War - Twilight Kin Pt.2

Welcome boys and girls to the Den of Vice and Dice. mind your footing  though as someone forgot to put away the whips and chains.

So despite my Mother and Aunt being up from Devon taking up alot of my free time I've still managed a small amount of hobby time and most of it with the Dark Elves.

Oldhammer meets Kings of War - Twilight Kin Pt.1

Well what do we have here then?

A merging of interests I guess, as you may well know I love both WhFB3 era Dark Elves and Kings of War.

So why not combine them?

Now in KoW Evil Elves are known as Twilight Kin and in current lore (Subject to change at somepoint) are aligned with the Abyss.

So Demons and Evil Elves, whats not too love?

Now I already had some Dark Elves painted from a few years ago in a 2 tone paint scheme that I liked at the time but my paintings improved from then so needed repainting.

Warhammer 40k: The 17th Traitor Mech Reborn - Pt.8 More Tanks and Heavy Weapons

Welcome to the Den of Vice and Dice, it's been a couple of weeks since the last Traitor Mech post (Part 7 here).

But despite playing around with KoW I've still been painting up these and hopefully should have a fully painted force by the new year.. maybe!

Some enough dribble it's time for some blurry pictures!

Kings of War: Abyssal Dwarfs Vs Abyssals - 2000pts Pillage Battle Report

Welcome once more to the dank dark interwebs of this wee Blog.

Today I had the chance to have a game of KoW, the last time I played was sometime in early 2016 so it's been awhile.

Luckily this is such a well written game that even with a gap that long between playing we were able to get a full game in around 2 and half hours.

We rolled for the scenario and it turned out to be Pillage with 7 loot counters.

Objective is simple collect the Loot and survive to sell it for weed and hookers.

Pat took his Abyssals that he's working on and I'm using my Abyssal Dwarfs.

So dominance of the Pit it is then.

The Arch Abyssal himself, just before he attack me with a Fireball.

Kings of War: Abyssal Dwarfs - Army Complete

'ello my minions and loyal readers of this wee Blog of mine, a den of vice and dice.

Now while talking to a fellow blogger about KoW it started that itch again and I realised it has been well over 18 months since i last played AND I never did show of my completed Abyssal Dwarf force.

So next week too make up for that fact I have booked in a game of KoW and here's the full completed force.

 

Beyond the Gates of Antares - Warlord HQ Bootcamp 09/09/17

A little late posting this on the Blog but these pictures have been posted elsewhere already (Beyond the Gates of Antares - Herts Shard & Beyond the Gates of Antares (IMTel)).

So the core members of the Herts Shard myself, Martin and Simon headed up to Warlord Games HQ early on a Saturday morning for a day of dice rolling, Pizza, tea and good light hearted banter.

We of course stopped on the way up at the infamous Watford Gap services (No not my ex!.. She goes by the name KFC Bucket 😉) for some fuel.. also known as Maccy D's.

The day was jointly ran by Pete of the Primus Shard & Gameface fame along with Warlord HQ themselves and I can't forget the other helpers such as Tish who kept us well supplied.
