On Frday me and Nathan played One Page Rules Grimdark future. We enjoyed the fast 1000 point game, and liked the simplicty of the system. My Havok Brotehrs/Death Guard lost to his Soulsnatchers/Tyranids. While we do not see it replacing 40k, it provides an option for multiplayer games, and games when time is short.
On 28th October, me and Khayman at Challenges Games and Comics set down and played our first Bolt Action game, pitting his Italians vs. my Greeks. The scenario was essnetially a King of the Hill, wth the Italians aiming to silence the Greek gun. We had a ton of fun, and enjoyed the game. The rules were simple but generated tactical discussions. The Greeks lost.After a very long while I played a historical wargame other than BBB. Bolt Action will become a staple for us.
Pictures from today's 750 point game. My Death Guard lost to Thom's Orks 40 to 44 points.
Well here is photo of what I kept from my death guard
Ten Plague Marines with a Tallyman
Three Deathshroud
A Lord of Contagion
A Lord of Virulence
10 Poxwalkers
and my Knight Abominant
Another two units for the Space Marines-Imperial Agents store army. Techmarine and Imperial Naval Breachers. This brings it to 690 points
The last two months have been horrid for my finances, so I have decided to sell a good chunk of my hobby to help with the house costs this month. This means a bit returning to sanity with my 40k collections. I am only keeping about 1200 poitns combined of Death Guard (down from about 2000), and about 700 points of Astra Militarium with Inquisition Allies.
Future expenses for the whole period from November 2025-November 2026 are going to be limited to building up the Astra Militarium Amry to 1000 points
a) Merceneries Box Set for Battletech
b) A Box of Les Grongards Rough Riders
c) Box of Les Grongards Heavy Weapons
d) Support for Challenges Games and Comics (my local game store-mainly by buying and building a 1k store army-almost done with it)
And that is it. No new 40k armies. Since I want to support my local store, 40k become prohibitevly expensie (with the exception of factions that can be built with Wargames Atlantic Kits)
In September I mostly played 40k. Two games of 750 points each with Thom's Orks, a multiplayer game pitting 1200 points of Death Guard with Josh and Nathan, and a four player Combat Patrol Ironman Torunament.
Me and Thom at it
