This Saturday I played a multiplayer 40k game at Challenge Comics and Games. We used the new rules. We each had 1000 points, and we had my Death Guard, Tyranids, Votaan, and Necrons. All in all a fun game, though we were not able to finish. The new rules cannot comepltely avoid the devolution of four player games into 2 vs 2 action, but manage it in a more formal way. I expect form now on most of my 40k to take this form. It has the pro of meeting more people, and seeing more armies in action.
On November 16th and 17th I got to play back to back. 40k in the first day, and the final scenario for the year in my BT campign. All in all good fun, though I will confess, playing BT after 40k, makes 40k look far too simple and thin gruel. I am not saying you cannot have fun. I am playing! But BT does provide a richer game experience.
Photos from both games!
Over the two weeks I have painted some stuff for all of my current projects (28mm 15th century, Battletech, and 40k). As you will notice it is all sloppy, but I care not. The older I get the more I care just about a hint of personalization, and tabletop ready
1st) A vile Rhino for my sick old men army (i.e the Death Guard for 40k)
Last Sunday I played my second game in the ongoing Level UP Duluth Battletech campaign. My characte Yang Tomaras was lost ,as he was pushed over the edge of the map, while making a last stand to give time to others to escape. Brave but Stupid. Jolly good show, and will continue with a new character.
