Safe-house Games

[Wulfen_Kind]

With the departure of one of the Safe-house residents, we felt it wrong to continue with our "Epic of three gamers" thread as our new Safe-house resident is not a gamer/painter/collector (for now, mwhahahahhaha). This period of transition was quite difficult for Silentsmoke and myself, hence no posts for quite some time. Now that every thing has settled here we have decided it appropriate to begin anew.

So the people you can expect to see here regularly are now:

Wulfen_Kind (Resident - DAs)
Silentsmoke (Resident - DKoK)
Wolfen (Veteran Member - 'Nids, Necron Menace, Smurfs, Sons of Russ, Blood sucking mother F%$@ing Angels, Heretics & Space Elves)
toonboy78 (Member - GKs & Cheese wielding Marines)
Commandojimbob (Member - Tau & Necron menace)

I have been working on my DA battle company which should be completed very shortly, with the view to be building a Shadowsword Domination Force Apoc formation to play Silentsmoke at some serious "Spearhead" games utilising the full length of our 6'x12' surface. Silentsmoke has been doing his usual thing of filling FWs coffers with Gold pieces and questing for world domination with millions and billions of DKoK infantry advancing under the overwhelming barrage of artillery and rumbling of steel death.

So here are some pictures of our new and more efficient arrangement:

New library and scenery storage

You know very well that Toonboy will break the Camera Lens

Looking very nice in there though

[de Selby]

Well, good to see you up and running again. I'm resisting the urge to ask what happened to Alex_H, I assume you didn't sacrifice him to the ruinous powers. The new arrangement looks great, although I feel for your non-gaming housemate.

[Fredox]

Sorry to see the old thread locked but glad it wasn't the end. Looking forward to see what plans you have for the future.

You forgot Space wolves and Blood angels

Looks like it was a pretty good game then. I absolutely love the shot of the Devestators with the Lascannons looking out over the battlefield and spotting the monolith!

Edited my post for your correct list Wulfen !

Lascannons did not do too bad - Don't forget Wulfen, you got 4 weapon destroyed results on the Red Monolith, thats a massive -4 on the Gauss Flux Arc

[Wulfen_Kind]

True, but I didn't get the results I wanted!
Marines don't want to hurt the enemies of the emperor, the want to
DESTROY THEM!!!

[toonboy78]

right then, result of last night game

my list is a few posts back

wulfen_kind took

chaplain in TA
7 terms with LC
crusader
ven dread in pod with plasma cannon
dread in pod with assault cannon
tact in pod PG PC
2 tacts PG PG PW and MB

silentsmoke rolled mission and set up for us...2 6's DOW and annihalation

Wulfen_kind went first

he deployed his 2 tact in some big buildings. i didn't have anything to deploy.

his first turn saw the 2 dreads come in, the ven on target and the other one scatter 10" way back to his side of the table. crusader rolled on 12"

my turn 1.....my 2 dread landed next to his raider, my redeemer moved on 12" and the normal raider moved on 6". i made a sligt error in shooting due to that i forgot about my search lights, however...ironclad hit failed to pen. dread hit...pen the KABOOM. crusader out turn1. my redeemer then failed to spot the dread/or pod can't remember, and the normal raider failed to see the ven.

turn 2

no reserves turned up so he moved both dreads twards my raiders and popped smoke. he shot my dread with a tact and took off both its CCW arm and stunned it.

one of my speeders turned up and adropped near his dread and that went pop. the iron clad marched over to a tact squad and got in to combat with that. my raider tried to shoot the ven again but didn't do anything. redeemer moved forwad and took out a pod.

turn 3

tact squad turned up and dropped in so it could shoot at my land speeder. which they did and took off it heavy flamer and made it so it couldn't shoot. other tact shot the other arm off the dread. the ven assauted my raider and hit with all 3 attacks then failed to do any damage. i think the ironclad finished off the tact (they ran off)

my tact squad came in and dropped near that ven and with 2 melta shots it sorted it out. edeemer moved a little forward and positioned itself nicely for the tact squad and the 2 flamestorm templates caused 11 hits which killed them all! ironclad took out a pod and the dread assaulted the terms, who would be unable to harm it.

turn 4

by this point wulfen_kind didn't have much left and shot his tact squad at a pod, no damage and hos terms were still locked in with my dread

i moved my redeemer over and out got Vulkan and his term bodyguard. another speeder came in and shot the tact killing 1. ironclad took out the last pod.

my terms assualted his terms and killed all but 1! he had enought and promptly legged it.

turn 5

well it was a sorry place for wulfen_kind to be (afternoon beers were taking their toll now) and with a final bit of shooting he took a weapon off a speeder and in my last turn i moved over to his last squad ready if we went to another turn

luckily for Wulfen_kind the game ended and when we added up the KP it was 10-0 to me.....(a bit of bad form on my part as i don't think you go to someones house and tonk them...sorry mate)

i liked my list just need a little more practise......Wolfen SW or BA next.........hopefully

we only got a few pics and they will be to follow

[Wulfen_Kind]

It happens, I need to get into the mind set of gaming competitively any how. It's amazing how difficult it is to work out a strategy for DOW Annihilation, like we discussed, I think I was too cautious about rolling for an objectives game and taking x3 tactical units. Once the battle company is finished I'm definately going to have to make some more marines with alternative special and heavy weapons in addition to some Dark Angel interpretations of Codex: SM characters...

Have you thought about buying some battlefield mats? They come pre-textured.

Put them on when you're playing a game, and easily removable when you're painting and working on stuff.
