GLOGGing it: 5th June

Once again a few people from around the Greater London area are having a get together in Ilford Gaming Club on the 5th of June.

Come down (Up?) and join us for a chat and a game or two. It's doesn't have to be Oldhammer and feel free to arrange and game whatever you wish, as it's a normal games Club no doubt people will be gaming random bits anyway.

Me? Well once again I'll be Mordheiming it up with the Riot Maker himself (Which may or maynot get molested.. just sayin') and Paul/Golgfag1 in a 3 way 1000gc stand alone game.

The Congregation of the Twin Tailed Comet will make the streets run red.

Calling all Greater London: Oldhammer Gits & Gamers

This Sunday at Ilford Gaming Club (1-6pm) a few of us Oldhammers/Old Gits/Sexeh Peoples are meeting for a bit of a chat and game.

So come join us and maybe play a game or two or at the very least talk toys.

Me I'm looking forward to Da Royal Court getting set loose in a either a game of Mordheim and/or Frostyballs..err grave.

Hope to see you there!

GLOGG: Greater London Gits & Gamers Mk2?

So It's been awhile since I promoted GLOGG in any real way but it seems as the Oldhammer movement is growing it might be worth giving it another crack.

The problem I found when starting this well over a year ago is that South Herts and surrounding areas were/is a Oldhammer black spot.

Having said that it wasn't all bad with 2 GLOGG games being run and documented:

The Disturbed Slumber Fluff
The Disturbed Slumber Part 1
The Disturbed Slumber Part 2
Battle of Big Knot Pit

GLOGG: Battle at Big Knob Pit

So me and McDeath had a WhFB3 game this evening. we didn't take too many pictures but here's a few:

McDeath, or more like McDonalds if you ask me, Cheap and nasty ;)

Warhammer Armies Pose Challenge! Are you Lead enough!

Over on the Oldhammer Forum we are having a bit of fun by doing the Warhammer Armies Pose challenge.

Idea being can you do a Warhammer Armies pose and pull it off like the Master Bryan Ansell?

My 2 efforts which were taken at a GLOGG game.

GLOGG Battle: The Disturbed Slumber Part 2

Apologies its been a few days since the last part, but family have been  up to see me since Friday and leave tomorrow. Talk about stressful but here at last is Part 2:

Turn 2:

On my left flank the Goblins ranks moved forward and unleashed Hell.. well Ok maybe not Hell but Fanatics which failed to roll high enough to hit.

Just when I started to count my blessings the Greenskin Artillery opened up making a rather large dent in my Skeleton Warriors.
The Magic Phase saw yet enough Leg Breaker spell, this time on Sir Boney the Black reducing his movement by half.

Why mussst you tessst me mortalss!

My turn saw Sir Boney and his Rotten Lancers thunderous charge into Kanbok and his Bodyguard

In my Shooting Phase the Crossbows and Bow armed Skeleton Kossars aimed at the Fanatics and along with another Fireball later that turn removed the closest problem.

As you can see Kanbok doesn't like Death Riders, I swear I heard something about needing Boarboys.. hehe.

Both the Giant and Orc archers turned tail and fled from the Death Riders and gained 2 Free Hacks.

In my Magic Phase I summoned a Undead Champion and 4 Skeleton Warriors and fired yet another Fireball.

 Turn 3

With most the Greenskin Horde running their wasn't much Jens could do, his Goblins passing their Fear Test charged my new unit of 4 Skeletons and sending 3 back to the cold hard ground.

My 3rd turn was lacklustre ending with me preparing/lining up charges for the 4th turn (Which never happened). As you can see from the final pictures below the Undead were the victors!

GLOGG Battle: Treachery at Legbreaker Ridge Or The Disturbed Slumber - Part 1

The Disturbed Slumber

The Rotten Prince awoke to the sound of the Liche's high pitched and frantic chanting, angered to have his slumber disturbed by his erstwhile ally he set about finding the cause of his Liche's increasing frantic activity.

Upon exiting the Norse Dwarfen Crypt, he could taste the scent of Greenskin upon the horizon and knew at once what had provoked the Liche as he too could feel the Greenskin Shaman at the back of his skull pounding like a hammer.

At once he ordered the battle lines to be drawn, out of what could be summoned from their half sleep.

So deployment was a simple one for me, staying in the story I've deployed around the crypt with Sir Boney the Black and his Rotten Winged Lancers on the far right to crush anything in his path. 

On the left was the Skull Chucker and 2 blocks of Skeletons backed up by a Plaque Cart.

Turn 1.

The Greenskin had the first turn dew to keeping in with the story/background, so they surged forward with only the Trolls wandering off and a few arrows were fired in anger at rival Mobs.

Zogdrek overwhelmed The Prince in a display of pure magic power from Gork or Mork (Also known as the Chuckle Brothers). That Shaman sure is a sneaky Git and one to watch out for methinks.

Sir Boney spurred his Winged Lancers forward eager to to end the suffering of life for the mortals ahead of him

The only way out of the labyrinth of suffering is DEATH

The Skull Chucker fired his first and only on target shot during the game, killing 8 Goblins.. Worth 80pts? Um ask me after another few games.

The Kossars with Crossbows and Bows after receiving 2 loses just before fired on the Goblins and killing 2, this is the some total of what they done the whole game other then killing a few Fanatics in the next turn.

My first turn ended with me splintering the leg of the The Leerin’ Moon Shaman, little did i know how this would help with the story :)
