First Chainsaw Warrior game at BOYL

The first game has been played at Bring Out Your Lead 2015. The last Chainsaw Warrior (controlled by Skarsnik) reached Darkness with 5 minutes to go, only to be battered down after he missed with his Laser Lance. Here you can see them working their way across the 2nd floor being chased by the green […]

Chainsaw Warrior at BOYL 2015

As anyone following the retro 80s wargaming scene must know, we are merely days away from BOYL 2015 @ Wargames Foundry, Newark. “Chainsaw Warrior with Space Hulk Rules” (got to think of a snappier title), will be making an appearance. The schedule is here http://forum.oldhammer.org.uk/viewtopic.php?f=40&t=4906, there are still spaces, so sign up quick.

A few photos from BOYL 2014

I just came across these previously unpublished photos from Bring Out Your Lead 2014. I took them at the end of the event on the Sunday afternoon. Things were quietening down, so we got out some scatter terrain and some assorted sci-fi for a quick skirmish.

Squad advancing – Chainsaw Warrior again. He gets […]

Highway to New Rynn City

A month or so ago, a grand plan formed in my mind. Inspired by “Operation Crossfire“, I’m hoping to organise an event this autumn where lots of separate games are played simultaneously as part of a single campaign. As many games as possible will be organised to occur on that day in remote locations. There […]

DBA Romans vs Carthaginians

A couple of weeks ago, my 11 year old and I clashed in a game of De Bellis Antiquitatis. We played the Big Battle variant from 2.2, which is essentially 3 normal DBA armies on each side for a total of 36 elements each. This was stretching my model collection to its limits, so some […]

Third Chainsaw Warrior Playtest

Last weekend we had another game – same rules and layout with a few minor tweaks. Specifically:

We wrote out exactly what each trap did, took out the not applicable ones and made a “room deck” of about half “Empty”, a quarter traps, a quarter supply dumps and a handful of zombies. On the Third […]

Second Chainsaw Warrior playtest

We’ve just had our second playtest of Chainsaw Warrior using Space Hulk rules. A lot more of the proper models were available, some new and improved board sections and some important rules tweaks. Playing against the clock I had 60 minutes to save New York and… I won’t give the ending away but let’s just […]

First N.O.G.G. game – Rogue Trader

On Wednesday we headed over to Warhammer World for a Rogue Trader game (1st Edition 40K). Here’s some snapshots of what happened. Axiom has already posted this more detailed account of the battle.

I went with my 11 year old – he fielded zoats and Eldar renegades, I fielded assorted mercenaries, pirates, scum and alien […]

Chainsaw Warrior game WIP

I have been working on a hybrid of Space Hulk and Chainsaw Warrior – basically using Space Hulk movement and turn sequence with Chainsaw Warrior models and equipment. I created a basic layout in Photoshop of a 10×10 square grid of rooms, 1 foot in total and printed off four copies. These represent two floors, […]

Necromunda Caravan Game

Over the Christmas break, Rowan and I played our first game of Necromunda with his Redemptionist gang. I used a Goliath gang that has already played a couple of games. The scenario was one from Outlanders, where the Goliaths had been hired to protect a Guilder caravan from a Redemptionist raid. It was played in […]
