I've hit a ton and still going.

This will be my 100th post for this blog so I was going to do the old look back across the years.

So as the blurb says in our intro, we started this club because we didn’t like the way the hobby was going. Also we needed some tourney practice and most tourneys at the time were set up so that they weren’t very friendly.

So 2011 we had a few games and maybe and end of year tourney. Collectively we may have played 50 games (between 6 of us). 2012 we started a tourney with a battle box bash and that didn’t go well but we did get a few armies done. Then in 2013 we started a slow growth league which went well and we would have knocked out about 200 games between us. We continued the slow growth in 2014 but changed it to iron gauntlet rules so we could have 2 x 50 point armies of different factions. I think we had about 500 games for that year between us. We used an online database to register the games but the website was flaky so it didn’t go as well as we would have liked.

And that brings it to this year. We aren't doing a slow growth as most of us have enough armies and we are just trying to finish of the ones we own. We’ve gone old school and register games in a book and pay for each game so we will have some decent prizes at the end of the year. Also the 3D printer is working so maybe we will get some good stuff from that.

This is our club symbol on a 50mm base.
The top part has 15 splines which is the amount
 of wounds for an objective.

 I'd have to say that the level of gaming has improved out of site. We can get into top ten in most tournies (not all of us but usually at least one of us). Our last tournament that we ran (Last weekend 28th march) was probably the best one we've had so far. 10 players, 3 rounds with plenty of upsets that show that even the lower ranked players can pull out a good game every now and then.

I hope to bring more tutes to the blog and eventually I’ll figure out how to edit videos and post a few game videos as well. I’m hoping to even put up our IKRPG games and talk eddie into doing some game reviews. We would also like to explore some differnet gaming systems like OGAM and xwing and maybe even saga.

I see some good things for the future of our club. We have entered into a team event at the end of the year and we hope to get over to the states next year to see how it really works. Also we are going to a 2 day Xwing event that should be fun. So as long as they don’t go and warhammer 8 this game I can see me playing this for quite a few years to come.

Cheers All

Epic Grimm's Dirty Dozen, Grimm's Done.

Well as good as done anyway. At some point the whole army will get some grass and snow put on the base, and I need to hit them with a matt finish but thats the last thing to do.

So here is Grimm and his posse.

He is a bit shiney so some matt varnish should fix that.

Next week I hope to start on some of the units for this army. I think the bomber and Slugger will be next on the list.

Cheers

Masters Object and Scenerio Cards

I redid the objective cards so they are big enough for me to read. Here is a jpg of them but you can download a pdf from the download section.

And I also did up a lager version of the scenerio cards as well. Once again here are some jpgs but you can download a pdf in the download section. Also I printed these ones back to back to save paper they should line up ok.

Of course all intellectual property and pics etc belong to PP so don't sell these just use them for your own gaming pleasure.

Enjoy.

Epic Grimm's Dirty Dozen and update of sorts.

OK once again I've missed a dead line. I really need to step up my output.

So here is an update of Grim and the boys. There are a few small touch ups that I didn't see till I took the photos but other than that and basing these guys are done.

hat brim needs some love and the glyphs are a bit rough.

This is a shot gun Im making for the bomber. Double barrel of course. The barrels open for amo insertion.

Anyway next time I hope to have a few more troops to paint.

Cheers.

Epic Grimm's Dirty Dozen

Ok I missed a monday release but I'll make it back as soonas I can.

For those who know me you will know I love to convert minis. Its a problem with metal and resin but I still love to put my own little touch on my minis. So for this year I wanted a new challenge and I needed a second troll list. So two birds with one stone I bring you.

Epic Grimms Dirty Dozen.

As Grimm is on the hardly used list he also gets to have 20 points of specialist which will include a battlewagon and a bomber. The battle wagon will be my center piece as I will convert it to a stage coach and everything else will be done in a western theme.

Even though this sorcerer isn't in the list I converted him to a medicine man.

And here are a few close ups of the boss and his crew.

Well that will do for now. I have a big oreder to put into the combat company so I'll report back with updates as soon as possible, as well as a few battle report.

Cheers.
