Playing through a variety of raids there were no deaths, unlike round 1, though there were plenty of captures which resulted in rescue attempts and an awful lot of horse trading. The big face-off was Ian’s Escher Nuns vs Lewis’ Goliath as both were undefeated. The Nuns were raiding the Goliaths who did an excellent job of constantly looking the wrong way. Result…big boom. An epic firefight then broke out but the Nuns held there nerve to take the game.

Meanwhile SAGA actually entered the Dark Ages whilst there was a brief night out with the Ankh Morpork City Watch with Guards Guards.

Next meeting is Tuesday 14th for round 3 of Necromaunda and more run what you brung.

Call out the Guard Discworld stylee

The Dark Ages but shiny! SAGA Vikings vs Normans

Tough at the top: Cawdor come looking for their heavy

Ohhh Matron! Girl on Goliath action

Trying out a few new tricks from Fantasy Flight a couple of us rolled out demo games of Warhammer Invasion and Blood Bowl Team Manager. Both impressed!

Championing Mantic games was Dwarf King’s Hold whilst the initial admin was completed for the Necromunda campaign was sorted out for kick off next week.

If you feel like challenging for King of the Spire then you know where we are!

Digging deep! Dwarf King's Hold!!

It's a funny old game! Blood Bowl Team Manager!!

Making a change it was randomly generated one on one games as simple as you like with two rounds squeezed in. All the results were anonymously allocated to the two leading factions to setup next sessions finale. Tallying up, the Orc Warband will attempt to perform the ARCANE RITUAL to secure The Grimoire of Grunburg.

Elsewhere Rich had another run out with Super Dungeon Explore and an alternative set of Ganesha Games’ Mighty Monsters rules.

Next week, Tues 13th, is open gaming with a few pratice games of Necromunda on the cards before our final meeting of the year on the 20th for the Mordhiem finale and one of our greatest club traditions……..PIZZA NIGHT!!

Skull bikini? Jon's Ogre Bodygaurd earning his gold!

Only the brave. Honest Bob goes the extra yard to turn a profit.Pretty boys gone looking for trouble!

All good old fashioned Street-Fight. Who spilled who's pint?

Monstrous Madness??

Following on the recent Mantic theme Stuart and Richard ran through a game of their new offering Warpath. Stuart is lucky enugh to be getting sent a starter set but it hadn’t made it yet so it was proxy time, Space Wolves vs Uruk Hai and Moria Goblins. It looked weird but reports were, with two games run, that it played well though the Marauders need plenty of cover!

4 Musketeers Songs of Blades stylee, which one's Titus Pulo?

Shaun and Rich J ran through Songs of Blades and Musketeers with some semi-proxied printer paper musketeers. Out to kidnap Lady De Winter the .Cardinel’s men put up a stiff fight before chucking her in a sack and riding off into the epilogue.

Dystopian Wars moves from the high seas to a deep harbour

Elsewhere Ian and Charlie moved their steampunk fleet clash too shallower waters laying out a harbour with defensive islands in an attempt to hijack a newly trialed Dreadnought. Charlie was trying his British fleet for the first time launching multiple waves of torpedos at Ian’s Prussians only to see most of them nullified or avoided. Inside the torp screen the Prussian big guns took their toll. A painful lesson but there’s always tea and crumpet to rely on!

An oldie but a goodie. Run for that helicopter!!

The rest of us rolled out a game of Zombies and then played through a mini game of Malifaux just to add something else to the mix.

Playing Order of the Stick Craig took the Hafling Rogue and specialised in following everyone else around waiting for them to die hideously and then scooping up thier loot. Excellent job.

Meanwhile the rest of us played out the first round of the Gladiator League;

Rogurius Caninus Secundus is proud to invite the new Britannia Ludi to join the Britannia Premirius Leagusta.
Each Ludus over the course of the year will visit and fight each other twice, one at home and once at the away stadium. At the end of the year the top 2 Ludi will fight in the Super Pit, the winner will be able to travel to Gaul to pit his gladiators against the best Rome has to offer during the official ‘Round the Fringe’ tour.

Fancy a game, then you know where we are!

A rulebook in the form of a comic. Get in!!

Thats an awful lot of loot lying around!

Bloodied and beaten the vanquished asks the crowd for mercy

Beast fight: The wolf at the door

Following on from Uncharted Seas the setting has moved to Steampunk Victoriana and the action now encompasses land, sea and air or whatever mix you wish to play. Ian and Charlie stuck to sea and air adding the fighter and bomber rules as the same game simple, fun and effective game mechanics apply.

Meanwhile the rest of us were firmly within the 41st Millenium with 40K and Space Hulk.

If you’ve got a game that you’ve beeen burning to play then give us a shout or just roll on in!

Classic 40K Dark vs Light: 1000 Sons vs Grey Knight

Dystopian Wars steams over the horizon

Steampunk nations clash on the high seas!

Do the Genestealer conga, right into the Blood Angle storm bolters!

Rich J and Ian took each other on again playing the newly released “Beautiful Game” as Liverpool United took on Manchester Rovers. 3 nil to Rovers if memory serves.

Meanwhile in the 41st millenium Rich W and Mike engaged across the the 40K battlefield whilst the rest of us broke out Space Hulk. Playing the Defend mission easily accomodated two of us on each side and after dealing with a little rust we got on at a good rate.

The ‘Stealers made life fairly easy for the Marines early on before re-learning to build up thier assault waves. Backed into the final room the Assault Cannon prepared the final defense only for Jon to roll a triple. He went BANG!!

Next week more 5150.

Space Hulk: The hulk awaits its visitors

Space Hulk: Two badass claw armed mo-fos!

Game over man, GAME OVER!!

40K: The Necron advance begins

40K: The sorcerous blue line of Thousand Sons

Saint and Greavsie eat your heart out; a game of two halves

The rest of us broke out Zombies 4: The End which involves battling Zombie K-9s through the boonies to cast a spell in an abandoned cabin. There’s probably a movie in there somewhere!

Open Gaming next week with Space Hulk and The Beautiful Game both mooted. Feel free to give us a go :

If you go down to the woods today.....

...you might just get savaged by rabid Zombie dogs!

5150: Automed defence drones - The Dar'Leks

5150: The Rich J / Ian face-off - Big Man vs Big Girl

Carcassonne was new to me but I picked it up quickly enough so that the second game was a much tighter affair than the first. Munchkin Quest threw the players a curve-ball with a pack of big beasties soon on the rampage. Mr C somehow ended up in the same room as them, silly boy!

2011 gaming commences on Tuesday January 11th with 5150. You’re welcome to join us!

Carcassonne: Build an empire and claim it for your own!

Munchkin Quest: even the game ganged up on Mr Christian!

A fine repast for any group of gamers :)

Rich, Shaun and Charlie play some FUBAR.

The townsfolk look unconcerned.

Uh-oh.

No wonder that Steve keeps losing. His players are facing the wrong way!

An early blitz is as near the Lustria Leopards got to winning against Rob's Ratz.

See you all in December for more fun and games.
