Kill Team, Bloodbowl, and L'Art de la Guerre

Another decent turn out, perhaps not as large as the last couple weeks but still respectable.

A quartet of players ran some Kill Team games as we get ready for the clubs upcoming Kill Team narrative campaign. Matt ran his Gene Stealer Cult against Chuck’s Grey Knights and grabbed the victory.

Meanwhile, Chris’ Orks raged against Eric’s Adeptus Mechanus list, he managed to grab then win despite all but one of his orks being slain.

Switching players, Matt’s Gene Stealers defeated Eric’s Adeptus Mechanus, and Chris’ Orks fought against a Tyrannid list Chuck switched over to. After drawing on points, Chris pulled the win by having inflicted casualties when Chuck when Chuck inflicted none.

After Kill Team Matt, Chris, & Eric played an introductory game of Blood Bowl, Matt's Dwarven team rampaged easily against  human team.

Across the room, ancient armies clased in games of L'Art de la Guerre. Mike's New Kingdom Egyptians (#14) took on my Hyksos (#13) in a historical match up. I built my ADLG Hyksos army up around a DBA army I won in a tournment 20 years ago, and after painting it up a year and a half ago I have never gotten the chance to play it against a truly historical opponent before.  Mike proved a skilled and fun opponent as always, his Egyptian's handled my left flank handily, and while my elite chariots on the right had some success, my crushed left flank handed him a solid victory. 

Next to us, Ken's Selucid's (#42) played against Paul's North Dynasty Chinese (#120), they managed a draw. 

We then switched opponents, and Paul's Vedic Indians (#35) smashed my Hyksos (#13). Despite managing to isolated his elephants and keep them out of the battle, his two handed swordsmen swept away my own impact swordsmen and the Hyksos yielded the field. 

Ken continued his evening of draws, as his Samurai (#210) held against Mike's Medieval German list. 

Age of Sigmar & Team Yankee

This past Friday was another well attended SAG game night, with a Team Yankee game, our ongoing Age of Sigmar Escalation Campaign, and a Konig’s Krieg French & Indian War battle.

It was a rare NATO win in Team Yankee, as Ren’s American armor company and John’s French cavalry company took on Jake and Wayne’s Russian T-72 company.

For once, Ren’s M1 Abram’s lived up to the hype and slaughtered the opposing Russian armor. 

In the Age of Sigmar we ran 1500 point games.  Jason’s undead Legions of Nagash clashed with Chris’s orcs on a grassy plain dotted with ruins.

Jason managed to grab the victory.

Meanwhile, my Seraphon lizardmen were faced off against Buck’s Eldar Daughters of Khaine on a gloomy plain dotted with ruins.  The gloom was so thick that visibility was limited to 6”, which severely limited the options of my skinks. Still, my Chameleon Skinks managed to sneak up on his cavalry, and get off a couple devastating volleys, allowing me to grab an early lead in points, which despite the ferocious hand to hand abilities of his Sisters, Buck was never quite able overcome.  I was very happy with the performance of my home-built, kit-bashed Bastiladon.

Ken played the British against Eric’s French, both with Indian allies in a gorgeous looking 28mm Koenig’s Krieg game. I wish I could have watched more of that one, I love the period and want to give the game system a try. Ken's Brits took the win.
