Prima Artania Round 2.

The Meat Grinder

In my round 2. game of our map based 40K campaign I faced for the first time an army of Adeptus Mechanicus played by Martin. Scenario was ”Meat Grinder”,where attacker would win by destroying all defender units.

Destroyed units from attacker re-spawned.

Warhammer 40K: Map based Campaign started!

Prima Artania!

Last 10 or so years I have not played 40k very actively. Editions have come and gone and I stopped wasting money on Codexes.

For the 8th edition I bought couple of Index books and eventually also the Harlequins Codex as I really wanted to deep dive into them.

So far I had  played a few games (first one took like 3 hours for completing 1 or two rounds), so I needed to get more games to get the game flowing and hence get a good experience. So when my long time gaming friend Jussi suggested, that we could organise a fluffy (not HC competitive min max), map based campaign, I was all in and helped him to draft the Campaign doc. Then it took some promotion to get enough players to join in, but eventually we had 8 players, including my oldest wargaming buddy Pave, joining, whom all seem to have same expectation more or less: narrative, fluffy armies and relaxed gaming! And now there is only war!

40K: F*** the greater good!

Chaoz on the Rampage aginst TAU

My third game of 40K 8th edition was against TAU...

DIE DIE DIE!

Limes Campaign year two: To the Death!

Rome vs. Saxons

This Timotrix's Warband was on warpath for a vengeance! They had no plans to break through to loot, rape & pillage, they just wanted to kill as many Romans as possible - those barbarians!

Shadow War Armageddon: two games against Necrons

Hit & Run and Rescue -missions

  Finally got to play more games for our Club's Armageddon campaign! In the first game my Brassboys made a hit & run attack to snatch a toaster as a prisoner. You might guess, what was the second mission we played with Marko...

Shadow War Armageddon - First Go

Brassboyz get their Babtism of Fire

There was a great hype going on at our club during the spring when both Shadow War Armageddon and then 8th edition of Warhammer 40 000 were released. Aleksis took the mantle for setting up a campaign for Armageddon. Soon "dozens" of players flocked to his banner... so did I.

Building of kill teams started and Aleksis came up with simple enough guidelines for the campaign: let's play games and who ever first has 15 prometheum cans piled up AND wins the next game, wins the campaign.

So my chaos forces shined their brass covered power armors and tooled up for some 

not so serious skirmish gaming... 5 players gathered for the kick off and several games were played with lot of cinematic situations happening and us having a good time! 

First Game of 40K 8th edition.

Super Gaming Week Game 2.

Banish the Daemons!

My second game of the week was my  Imperial Agents vs. Antti's Khorne Army - very fluffy indeed!

Vengeance of Ultramarines

Another 40K battle against Sons of Ultramar and their
gallant Warmaster Heinrich!

Back to the Grim Future... 40K!

It's been a long time since my previous 40K game...

Heinrich was kind enough to guide me through the game (and some of the new Eldar rules). I was kind enough to give his Ultra Marines a sound trashing...
