Dakkarigged to Blow: Orks vs Tyranids

All aliens all the time - it's a double Xenos throw-down as Pootle tests the waters of eleventh edition.

Manouvers in the Jimulthuan Quadrant: IV

Ever faster, ever more violent, the war had grown in size and scope to encompass almost every system in the quadrant. 

Metal Boxing Glove: Necrons vs Ultramarines

 

Pootle here! I realised recently that I've only managed to play one game in 10th edition with my Necrons (though that was a cracker against WintersSEO's 13th). Before the edition disappears I fancied running them one last time and Kraken heroically stepped in to help me out.

Unstoppable vs Immovable: White Scars vs Death Guard

Pootle here with a write-up of my last game of 10th edition. Stylus and I are playing out another game in the Jimulthuan Quadrant: this time an armoured column of Death Guard on their way to besiege the Ultramarines' HQ on Bagot Prime have been ambushed by the White Scars...

Black Hole Sunz: Raven Guard vs Orks

Pootle here! I'm kicking off my actions in the next phase of the campaign with a new army (for me). My fleet has moved to the Transcaridian Docks and will attempt a planetary invasion against jhnlk's Xenos; I’ve chosen to defend this planet with a new army for me - Orks! I've decided to use my son's Raven Guard for the first time, so it's new armies for both of us.

Recryption: Space Marines vs T'au

 
A new contender enters the ring!

Full Speeder Ahead

 
Nothing like a new edition to get me spending.

Do The Colours Hurt Their Eyes? Harlequins vs Emperor's Children

 

I ventured down to Swindon a couple of weeks ago, taking my new/old Rogue Trader-era Harlequins to face Winters and his Emperor's Children army, The Echoes of Ecstasy.

A Few Good Supermen: Custodes vs Space Marines

It's still Easter, so the games are running in full spate!

Emotionally White Scarred: White Scars vs Necrons

Continuing the Jimulthuan Campaign, I, Pootle, am determined to regain full control of my home planet of Bagot Prime. This time I'm up against the Necrons led by Jhnlk (it's me, hello!).

When Life Gives You Renegs, Make Renegade: Chaos Space Marines vs Space Marines

It's been a dark age since I last fought on Drawbridge. Those darn cults are up in arms again, though, and someone's got to put them down. 
 

King in the North game 3: Harlequins vs T'au

 

After a really fun game against Ultramarines (see batrep here), my last game of the last King in the North was against Alchemist Dave and his stunning T'au list.

King in the North game 2: Harlequins vs Ultramarines

 

Having lost my first game against Necrons (write-up here), my second game at this years (final) King in the North pitted my old lead Harlequins against George's beautiful Ultramarines!

King in the North game 1: Harlequins vs Necrons

 

It's King in the North again! And this is the last time Brapscallion is running the event (because he wants to play rather than organise, which is fair enough). I've been painting up my lead Harlequins with the express purpose of bringing something special along to this event.

Penitent Defence: Sisters of Battle vs Chaos Space Marines

 Round one of the Campaign draws to a close as the Chaos Fleet descends upon the Imperial world of Alebus. Can I defend it? Hold my beerbus!

Termagaunts of Endearment: Astra Militarum vs Tyranids

It's the second game in the Jimulthuan Quadrant Campaign. The Imperium is under assault by Xenos - will Rylstone fall?

Get Off My Land...Raider!: Ultramarines vs Death Guard

Kraken recently posted about starting up a new campaign and Stylus and I (Pootle) are kicking things off, harking back to 8th edition with my Ultramarines trying to kick the Death Guard off my home planet of Bagot Prime.

Sham Pains

This post was supposed to be about the year ahead, rather than the year behind. While there's still time in January, time to set myself some hobby goals!

Fire on my Position: Astra Militarum vs Adeptus Custodes

 I’m off the mark for 40k games in 2026!

Clowning around

 

This has been an absolutely amazing project: back in 1991 a friend left the hobby and gave me his box of original lead Harlequins. I've been eyeing them occasionally since getting back into the hobby but finally plucked up the courage to paint them...and (decided to try to match the original box art too.
