Chaos Space Marines vs Astra Militarum, 29.10.2024

Disclaimer. This was the first time I was actually responsible of setting up the game and table for a 10th edition matched play game, and, uh, there were a few hiccups. I think my app was out-of-date and we actually played Leviathan missions; not that big of a deal, as we only played out round 3, due to the shop closing. I was also curious how we'd fare on a terrain setup that was one of the official layouts, so I just placed some ruins. We got Dawn of War deployment, and a lot of firing lanes. Let's say the Guard was at a slight advantage. At least I've learned a lot 😂😅

October review and November goals

October was mighty fine. 

Dungeon of the Mad Mage is back on track; in fact, we already cleared one level. The Golden Vault campaign is also running again; also, one mission done and complete. 

I got in some Warhammer 40k, including a narrative mission; and I played some ASOIAF, including a local tournament. All good fun.

Lannister and Reaper Bones commissions are done; I took on some more for November, including Free Folk and random animals. All nice and relaxing to paint. Besides those, I started painting the Dark Vengeance Chaos Chosen, which I already hate due to all the details. Unsure what else I'll start, if I finish my WIPs anyway.

As for the counter, I have reached my first stretch goal by painting more than 365 miniatures without multipliers. In fact I am currently at 393, or 509 with multipliers. My second stretch goal would be to reach 600. I won't break my back working up to this, so we'll see.

Free Folk vs Neutrals

For my final game, I once again expected someone new to play against - instead, I got my regular opponent. After the hard loss against the Targaryens, I would not put the mammoths on the table, instead resorting to anti infantry tactics once more.

Free Folk vs Targaryen

My second game, also against an unknown opponent, and a faction heralded to be nigh unbeatable. I got out my monster list, and let's see what's going on about that dragon. 

Free Folk vs Greyjoy

For the first game, I was paired against an unknown opponent and an unknown faction. I saw only infantry so I picked my anti-infantry (kind of) list. Here are the lists and score.

We started off slowly, advancing towards the objectives.

A Song of Ice and Fire Miniatures Game Tournament - Third Battle of Cluswar

Apparently, there's new blood in town! We threw together a quick tournament. I got to know new people, played against new factions, and generally had fun while coming in third. A Saturday well spent!

Golden Vault: Demon conservatory

The Golden Vault campaign is back in action, with just 3 brave agents taking on the next task. We were hired by an anonymous benefactor to recover a Canaith Mandolin stolen from the grave of a famous bard. Apparently his restless spirit refuses to leave our plane of existence until the instrument is recovered, and terrorizes the residents of his hometown Frogleap. Time to send in the clowns! 50 Copper, the dwarven fighter Thaldor and the new barbarian Grog geared up for the investigation.
