Here’s some photographs from the last Warhammer 40,000 event to wet your appetite:
The two sides line up.
A squadron of Baneblades rolls in. *gulp*
The air cavalry arrives.
There’s a tradition round these parts – the last club meet before Christmas is always PIZZA NIGHT!!!
... and here's the proof!
Oh, and we also played some games…
A lot of us took part in some ZOMBIES!!! fun.
Things soon got out of hand.
Typical! The helicopter pad is miles out of town.
3+ saves ahoy!
The Thousand Sons of God. Kinda poignant for Christmas, don't you think?
Merry Christmas, everyone!
Another club night, another assortment of games and merriment. This week on Enfield Gamers…
The Japanese advance on the village.
Through the jungle we go.
A lone tank rolls down the road.
Oops!
Nothing hurts more than a flag pole to the face.
Nail-bitting stuff...
Uh-oh, time to retreat!
Necrons vs. Thousand Sons
In the grim future, there is only regimented lines of troops.
Two months on and Space Hulk is still the BEST GAME EVER.
Like the look of any of these games? Come down and challenge us to a game!
As previously mentioned upon these hallowed pages the Enfield Gamers attended GamesFest 4 in a number of capacities.
The show itself had an excellent local feel with a number of star turns, step forward such luminaries as Jervis Johnson, Gav Thorpe and Steve Jackson of Fighting Fantasy fame. Events, traders and guests ran the length of the wargaming, roleplay and sci-fi / fantasy art and literature worlds. Something for everyone.
Captain Shepard reporting for duty.......aarghhh!!
As a club we ran two sets of games, the first being Spartan Game’s The Uncharted Seas.
Charlie took the lead running a number of interested ‘Festers through the rules. Several of us ”helped out” with such useful cries as “he’s sunk your battle-ship!” and a number of witty Sea-men based retorts.
Our own Mr Christian was so impressed that he finally invested in his own Bone Griffon fleet to join my own. He remained deaf to my suggestion of naming his battleship “Bounty”!
Meanwhile, four members were representing the club within the 40k doubles tournament being run by the Watford Games Club.
After sweeping all challengers aside Shado and Mike S were faced with stouter resistance in their final, title deciding, game. With the tournament going down to the very last dice roll they were beaten into second place by a mere 45 points!
A grand effort and there’s always next year.
At lunchtime Rich J’s Pacific ‘44 game took over with several waves of US marines storming ashore in an attempt to take “Heart-blake Lidge”.
Mixed results were to be had though the opening shots of the club’s ongoing Pacifc campaign have now been fired. See the link on your right hand site to visit the campaign blog!
All in all a successful and enthralling visit for the Enfield Gamers with purchases and new friends made as we wrapped up the day. Many thanks to the ‘Fests organiser and we look foward to next year.
Baton down the main-brace!! Splice the cabin boy!!
A hairy encounter in the first round of the 40K doubles!
'Fest me up muddy fun-sters :)
Hittiing the beach with the USMC. Le' me hear a hoo-ha seargeant!!
Tokyo rose shpws her thorns! BANZAII
This Tuesday we are going through the rules we will be using for our up and coming campaign set in the Pacific late in WWII. More details can be found on the Campaign page and our Campaign blog.
Anyone is free to join in … the rules are fast and furious but have a good ‘feel’.
As the title suggests, many of the club’s memebers will be attending GamesFest 4, now just eight days away, in a variety of capacities. With the 40k doubles entry, two teams of two, lead by Shadoblade (aka the other Rich) and his Thousand Sons the club will also be running a pair of participation and demonstration games.
The Uncharted Seas game will feature the harbour assault / breakout scenario from the main rulebook with the lovely guys at Spartan Games providing a couple of prizes for the day’s most legendary Admiral as well as the best kill and most entertaining moment! A number of fully painted starter fleets will be available for use on the day.
We will also be running a Pacific ‘44 beach assault game under the expert tutelage of Rich J. Rich has recently fired this project into being at the club which will follow up into a full campaign run through Rich’s campaign blog http://pacifc44.blogspot.com/
The show itself has confirmed an impressive array of traders, games and artists in attendance covering wargaming, roleplay, comics as well as fantasy and sci-fi literature.
This is a day out that i’ve been waiting for with great anticipation, though for my wallet it has been trepidation. So if you’re in the area why not pop in and see what you can find. I’m sure you’ll not be disappointed!

Here’s what happened down the club tonight…
Shadoblade and friends tested out their armies ahead of Gamesfest 4's Warhammer 40,000 doubles tournament.
Chaos attacks!
The rest of us indulged in some more Space Hulk.
Surprisingly, the Blood Angels actually managed to win on the second attempt!
We’re going to be at Gamesfest 4 in Watford on Saturday 24th October. If you’re visiting too, pop along and say hello!
The 20th anniversary edition of Space Hulk is out and it’s fantastic. To mark the occasion, we decided to have a massive eight-player game across three boards!
The scenario involved Terminators from both the Blood Angels and Space Wolves chapters. Their mission was to contact a unit of Space Marines trapped deep within the bowels of the space hulk and teleport them out to safety. Did they manage it? Read on…
The game was played across three boards - two new sets and one of the origianls.
There's a long road ahead for the Blood Angels.
The Space Wolves entered from the opposite side of the space hulk.
"Anyone home?"
Genestealers attack from the rear.
... and from the side.
Time for some overwatch.
Jon looks concerned as his Terminators start to be picked off.
The Blood Angels press on.
"Hmmm... I wonder what's behind this door?"
"If I can't see them, they don't exist."
"Uh-oh."
"MEDIC!!!!!"
Thankfully the other squad of Blood Angels were working as a team.
Terminators - well versed in the art of Conga.
Overwatch - a very useful skill.
Meanwhile, the Terminators being rescued were holding their own.
The Space Wolves finally cleared a path to the lower deck.
... and so did the Blood Angels.
"Errr... I wouldn't look behind, if I was you."
"I think we're lost, boss."
The two Space Marine chapters finally meet up and start beaming out survivors.
The Blood Angels perform a desperate rear-guard action.
Another two Terminators beam out.
"Game over, man, game over!"
Surprisingly, this eight-player game was finished in three hours. Good work, everyone!
Here’s a look at what we played down the club last night…
The Uncharted Seas continues to attract new players.
Jon and Malk face off in the AT-43 campaign.
Space Hulk is back and better than you ever imagined!
Tough times for the Blood Angels' 1st Company.
That's one jam and one dead Terminator. D'oh!
