Top Secret

BA Battle Report


So, just yesterday I had the chance to play a game of Bolt Action with a buddy before physio. We decided to take some pictures and well... Here it is~

1000 point Army lists to come soon (hopefully)

Turn 1, various units come onto the board. Nazi's have issues bringing units onto the board (panzer, HQ, flak 38 and a heer squad do not make it on, American HQ and bazooka mounted jeeps fail to make it)

Turn 2, Americas move up, failing to cause more than a single pin in damage. Germans reply with a sniper kill on a unit, everything comes on board

Turn 3, american air support fails to materialize while german artillery lays out a ton of pins and annihilates the American HQ JEEP leaving the team with 4 pins. The greyhound moves up and drops the German sniper team with accurate MMG and light AT fire. The panzer fires at the greyhound but it recces away leaving a nearby infantry squad to get hosed with MMG Fire and loosing a man.The Germans advance while the Americans are forced to take cover (go down).

Turn 4, the American air support materializes laying down a few pins and wiping out the German Waffen SS squad. The flak 38 opens up on the american infantry squad taking refuge amongst the dragons teeth but misses. The hellcat advances and opens up on the panzer and flak 38, ricocheting it's AT shot but managing to kill a crew member from the flak gun. The panzer misses it's shots.
The greyhound moves forward missing the panzer but managing to cause a pin and killing the adjutant in the the German LT. Squad. The German and American infantry advance.

Turn 5, the panzer fires away to no avail while the grey hound rushes up putting pins on the german MMG and making another crew kill on the flak 38. Next the hellcat moves up setting fire to the panzer with its heavy AT and putting yet another pin onto the flak 38 with its HMG.  The greyhound then flees (recce) away from a German heer infantry assault. They take control of the objective but the greyhound remains alive.
The German MMG and FLAK opens fire on the besieged american infantry squad killing one. Once more they go down (failed rally check). The American engineers move forward causing 3 kills, including the SGT of the veteran heer squad claiming the objective.
Meanwhile the German Forward observer snipes a member of an American infantry squad.

Turn 6, the objective is piggy backed to a rear squad while the unit fires on the advancing engineers killing 4 of the 5, leaving the flamethrower to avenge their deaths with FIRE! (Killing 2). Miraculously the heer stay on the board! (Moral roll of two ones!).
The hellcat managed to only stun the panzer and place a further pin on the flak 38. The greyhound crushes a unit of heer but the other escapes it's wrath. The jeep moves up depositing the bazooka team within reach of the panzer who promptly miss. The German artillery observer moves forward and kills the bazooka team like a boss.

Turn 7!
The second American air support finally comes in, wiping the panzer off the board and placing pins all about. The greyhound finishes off the Flak 38 and the artillery observer. And with that the game ends in.... A DRAW!
(The side that carries the objective market off their table edge wins the game. Otherwise the result is a draw.)

Come Fly With Me

I know I've been quiet for the last while, and things will probably remain that way for a while yet, but just to show a teensy bit of an update, here's my latest project:

A P-47 Thunderbolt for use with the optional warplane rules for Bolt Action








It's not quite complete yet as I still need to finish weathering it and then seal it, but it's 90% complete.I tried a new formula for laying down decals and I must say that it's worked perfectly: Gloss Varnish before the microset/sol decal solutions. It's wonderful when you can't see the silvery sheen of a decal on a model.

Until next time,
Keep trying new things.

I Must Break You: Dragõe TAG

Time for a little Infinity Love. Recently my brother, in a spurt of wonderfulness, bought me the Dragões TAG for my Pan-O forces. This was a most welcome gift, and not just because it was free (though that helped! Thanks bro!)
First, it finally gave me a chance to build one of the humanoid styled TAGS from the infinity line. To date I had only build the Maghariba guard spiderbot thing, and it was exciting to work on such an awesome looking figure.
Secondly, I like building larger models. They may require a significant amount of pinning thanks to being large and metal (in the Dragões case, it required ALL OF THE PINS), but the joints are generally larger and easier to access, and allow for a much more satisfying final product.
Thirdly.... IT'S GOT A GIANT DAMN CANNON! BOOYEAH!

Seriously, it's an awesome figure.

Proof I'm still here

OI've been quiet on the posting front lately, I know, but that mostly comes from health issues. It is what it is.
But I have not been inactive! I've been running many (MANY!) demos for a few games (Bolt Action and Infinity for the most part), been asked to become the official WarCor for multiple store (infinity event coordinator), continue in my Satge role for my FLGS, and I've been building more terrain, painting, and playing a boatload of Warhammer Quest (I finally found a GW game my girlfriend likes!!).
Lastly I've been dragged back into warhammer fantasy.
Busy busy busy.
So what do I have to show for it?
Ummm.... Not too much. Except this (I sculpted armour and weaponry on a stock Mon Calamari model for the Star Wars rpg I'm playing in):

He's super fat and awesome. I'm happy with it. The paint job was a bit of a rush (laying down and done in just over an hour....), but it's tabletop passable. It also allowed me to test out a white paint scheme in prep for a large white armoured army I have to paint (thanks for your patience Hojo! It'll be done soon(ish!) I swear!).

Until next time,
Being busy is not an excuse.
