40K Orks v Templars

The gaming heir is back from university and so insisted on another game of 40K.

I took da Ladz


I even had a buggy (to use up points).


He had Templars

Emperor's Champion but no other special characters.


The Space Milkman was one of the objectives.



Warboss Gruzzkupp urged the lads on.


The Marines advanced purposefully.


With the Dread laying down fire.


Klankenstein fired back.


The Kill-o-Zap gun was as reliably useless as always.


Soon fightin' was going on.


Though the Emperor's Champion kept his sword clean.


Sadly Power Claw failed to penetrate Dread armour.


The Orks were whittled and Gruzzkupp surrounded.


The Lootas poured down wildly inaccurate fire.


Klankenstein took on the Emperor's Champion.


It did not go well for the big mrtal guy.


The Orks attempted a drive by.


But the Champion dealt with that and then took The Milkman into protective custody. Does a milkman, need Protective Custardy?


An enjoyable hour or two with the laddo.
40K remains a game for Children, Deviants and Accountants.

Warhammer: The Old World Goblins v Chaos

Kenton came over for a pre-Christmas game. He was intending to bring his Goblin army, so I picked an all Goblin force too in anticipation of a Gob-off. Then he turned up with his Chaos Warriors. Oh.

Undeterred the Goblin Horde prepared for WAR!


Nasty beast chariot thingy.


The plain of battle.


And again.


The goblin tribes were unafraid of the big flappy bloke in the distance.


After all, they'd brought some trolls with them.


Angry red men were also present 


As were some stinky green men.


And some sensuous pinky-white men.


Rashly the spider riders launched themselves at the chariot. 


The Squig herd prepared to meet the foe.


Fanatics went a-whirlin'


In went the Squigs.


The Angry Red Men raced off to fight spiders


Astonishingly the other spiders murdered the Chariot.


The fanatics went about their whirly business.


Teeth and claw meets cold steel.




Still he whirls.


Shortly after this the Squigs went pop, killing quite a few more goblins and a few less warriors than I would have liked.


Big Bouncy Lad slammed into the Slaanesh warriors as the spiders headed back to the fight.


With the Squigs no longer detaining them more Warriors advanced.


Heading towards goblins.


Who they met with a thump.


Other goblins stood around watching.


The Warriors so feared the might of the Night Gobboes that they sent in the Flappy Fella to help out.



Bouncy did better than expected.


The Goblins gripped their spears and awaited their fate.




Eventually they ran away.


Still watching.


Slaanesh Warriors v Spider Riders.


The Eight Legged Men of the Match.


And more great dice from the Disciples of Pleasure. Maybe the poison is all tickly and they like it?


The Night Goblins just about rallied, but the outcome was predictable.


Bored of watching the Goblins finally got involved.


Shaking off their Stupidity the Trolls turned to face the last remaining Angry Red Man.


The Spiders were dragging down the last of the Slaanesh warriors.


Angry Red Man did what Angry Red Men do and charged.



The Trolls murdered ARM and then raced into Flappy Fella.


They killed him, but it was too little to turn the tide and the field belonged to Chaos.


Great fun game and the Goblins were more competitive than I expected. Possibly more to do with some terrible Chaos dice than tactical genius on my part.
