Converting one more Space Marine Captain

Introduction

With the end of the Mane campaign looming close... you guessed it, time for another gift-conversion! Veteran Sergeant Danicus (another wordplay obviously, as the player is called Daniel) follows the pattern established by Captain Zsombicus.

Uprising on Mane Primus - Mission #10 Game - Siege

Mission

I set up the board as a simple enclosed maze. Karn, Argus, Boreas and Grigor started in the top right corner (at the infirmary), with the rest of the squad in the bottom right (at the training room). The top left corner had the main objective (the governor's chambers), the bottom left the secondary objective (the data center). So the guys on the lower lane could choose between going for the secondary objective, or helping the rest of the squad reach the main one. Line of sight was capped at 12".

Game

Both parts of Alpha squad advanced into the unknown, soon running into armed resistance.

Uprising on Mane Primus - Mission #10 Story

Karn was carrying the unconscious Argus to safety. He turned back for a moment, firing quick shots with his bolt pistol, then ran on. Behind him, the traitor marine cleared the treeline, and aimed his boltgun. A split second later, he was engulfed in an explosion. Karn vaulted over the small hillock to his position in cover, thankful to Oberon for the covering fire.

He noticed the voxbead in Argus' ear clicking. His wasn't; it must be an external attempt at communication. He ripped out his own device, taking the one from Argus.

'... report. I said, report!' - came the crackling voice of the Thunderhawk co-pilot.

Maggotkin of Nurgle vs Gloomspite Gitz (includes rematch), 2020.01.22

Introduction

The local Gloomspite Gitz army had changed hands, and I welcomed the chance to play someone new. 1000 points, same old Maggotkin list as always (which now has the added bonus of residing at the Guild Hall, so I don't even have to carry them to the game). Regular missions from the core rulebook, and we took the time to discuss everything.

Gloomspite Gitz

• Skragrott, the Loonking
• Fungoid Cave-Shaman
• Loonboss on Mangler Squig
• 12-man Squig Herd
• 6-man Squig Herd
• 10-man Boingrot Bounderz

Mission: Blood and Glory

January Painting Competition

Another painting competition! This time, we had to enter a squad of miniatures. As luck would have it, I just started working on the Chaos Warriors when this was announced, and so I managed to complete everything in time. I won second prize!

Honorable mention goes to the method of judging the entries. Still a community vote, but instead of having everyone in the FLGS vote like last time, we instead had the participants vote on each other's entries. Everyone decided on a first, second and third place (excluding his or her own entry) in both the advanced and the beginner section, with the advanced participants' votes having more weight than the beginners'.

Introduction

I had these guys lying around on their sprues ever since I bought them to provide conversion bits for the dragonborn paladin. I felt it was due time for them to take the field.
