Only the Boar Boyz left…
Photo from a recent game…
…which saw my orks decimated by Simon’s Imperial Guard.

In a previous entry I showed a picture of Simon’s Rough Rider and said Luckily for my Orks, he has only one and it took him a year to finish!
Oh how wrong I was, he lied, he had in fact converted and painted a squad of them…
Nice job.
This fantastic Sisters of Battle Immolator is from Simon’s collection.

He recently finished it and brought it over when we had a game, so I took a picture using my photographic terrain.
It is a great model and he has done a fantastic construction and paint job.
Over the last couple of months when I have had a chance for a game I have been playing Space Hulk (second edition).
It’s a fun game and well worth playing.
However today we played a different version which was a lot of fun.
Virtually all the board pieces were used, I had ten Orks (well two were Grots), Simon had ten Guardsman.
Oh yes I also had some Boar Boyz down there…
The objective was to get to four of the six rooms (in the second game we played it was all six rooms0 before the other player, the catch was that each room contained a *surprise* which was decided on a dice roll.
In the second game the table was:
2 Space Marine Dreadnought
3 Death Ray, D6 with 5,6 an automatic kill of the person who entered the room
4 a Terminator
5 2 Genestealers
6 an Ork
7 a Genestealer
8 a Guardsman
9 2 Genestealers
10 an Ork in Mega-Armour
11 9 Genestealers
12 Ork Killa Kan
We used in the main 40K rules, though you had to be in base-to-base to assault. It worked surprisingly well.
Playing was a lot of fun.
