Tuesday Gaming: Space Hulk.

Hi, today I had gaming club but dark Heresy was off so i played space huld. We played the escape mission with the chalice and I won. i was teaching a guy how to play but still it was only my 4-5 game and he was good. I made some mistakes with poistioning but in the end I managed to hold off the nidz (I was marines with libby, lightning claws guy, flamer and 2 regulars) with force barriers some guard and the flamer. I beat his guys back with psychic storm then flamed the room before getting my libby with chalice into and out of the room. It was great fun! Can any of you tell me about your space hulk experiences.

P.S. The movie marines will be an occasional thing as both me and James have other long term commitments.

Tuesday Gaming: Dark heresy and Movie marines campaign!

So, tonight we played dark heresy and me and one of the wizards were punished for being bad (remember we were in jail) we both had this necron item placed in our cell and he lost his powers (not permanently) and I lost my see in the dark ability (permanently) then we were both tortured which costs no hit points but he got his teeth and tongue ripped out do he can't talk (he may respawn them later). We were then told to go on this dark eldar mission but we would have to lose a fight and get taken as slaves by the dark eldar, the thing is we had to lose by enough to get knocked out but not killed. We did not get to the drop though just told about the mission. We were also all given retractable big claws and our leader (he already had mini claws) had massive ones. the guy who had been with me was stupid and lost his claws and movie marine game with James. We both had 10 normal movie marines and there were loads of orcs (more I tried practising on a wall and one of my claws broke off oh well). then I went on to have a special keep coming on and ones we kill respawn. the idea was for us to kill each other but to get better weapons we had to kill orcs. it cost 3 orcs to upgrade 1 marine to a sergeant, 4 for a missile launcher or flamer. all orcs killed respawned in a building complex and d6 orcs very 2 turns came on. Nobz were worth 2 orcs and war bosses 6. A new marine was 10 points. It was a great warm up game for a campaign w will be starting.

Tuesday Gaming: a double bill.

So, two (well three but it was off this week) weeks of Dark Heresy have gone by and lets have a run down of what has happened:

Week 1: I was off and the team fought Dark Eldar, the chaos sorc that we were working for got killed and his assistand Jeeves turned out to be an even more powerful psyker.

Week 2: They are about to drop down in a drop pod and I decide to run off to the armory and see if I can get back in time, how silly I was as I just get beat up by a marine real bad. The rest of them drop down and screw up the mission by killing each other (the GM dropped a hint that we may get bonuses for killing each other as long as we did it descretely). We make some story up about them getting back up to the ship and they are about to drop down again, one of our players still had it in for the nurgle/lightning sorc and lops his head off so he respawns as a nurgling (we have now called nurgling in my pocket) and he is owned by one of the other sorcs. I should get possesed soon!

Week 3: The GM forgot the rule book so we didn't play, instead I played a game of blackreach with a few extra bits against a mate, we only played a few turns so just called it a draw. Then I watched some guys playing D&D (dungeons and dragons) but with some twists to make it more like fantsy hence why it was allowed in warhammer club (it is also run by the owner of the club). Overall the club is really working because everyone is just there to have fun.

So, what do you think,

(second post of the day!) Tuesday Gaming: Dark Heresy 2, nearly possesed and armory.

So, today I had dark Heresy, unfortunately it was cut short but oh well. We also found out that some people arn't gonna play any more so it's just a ton of phycers and me the unpossesed possesed. Also one sorc was ill today.

To start with we continued from last week with me in the chair with the chaos sorceror (not chaos marine sorc lord as I previously thought) standing over me. I went into this dream about a random chaosy jungle then went to this ocean place and there was a daemonette but I didn't know what it was, it kicked me into the water and becaus I can't roll in Dark Heresy for my life, it thrashed me, when I eventually got to the shore I was trying to land a blow on it but only did three dammage, at the end a bloodletter came up and killed it which meant I failed as I later found out that I had to kill the daemonette before the bloodletter to get possesed. Oh well, I'll have to try again next week.

After finishing that we skipped 4 weeks in which the phycers had been training and stuff, we went into the sorcs chambers and he gave us one use only armory passes, we all trailed off to the armory exept for one guy who was acting stupid and was just given an auto pistol and was not allowed to go to the armory.

First guy goes in and rolls average so get a choice of hvy bolter lascannon bolt pistol or auto pistol, as he is smart he chooses auto pistol which would have been given anyway but he ecaped with his honour intact. Second guy goes in and rolls ridiculously, get a choice of a helmet, flak armour or a bottle with blue liquid inside.

He takes the blue liquid which we later find out makes him better at his phychic ability which is reading objects and seeing their past.

I go in roll almost the worst score you can get and get a choice of rubbish stuff, I end up with a hammer which does 8 dammage rarther than 5 which is still an improvement.

Some other random stuff happened but you get the jist of it.

Dark Heresy: What we did on Tuesday.

Hi, because of the recent interest in dark heresy here on my blog I thought I would give you a quick rundown on what happened on tuesday.

We woke up in a gun pit on a chaos cruiser after being cptured in various ways. None of us now our powers and we all have a weak weapon like a knife or a wrench. A tall man with a whip comes in and says get to work. Most of us do but one goes and asks him why. He gets whipped. Another goes up to him. The whip cracks right by his ear so he asks again, this time the whip just cartches his ear and he stumbles back.

Once we get the chance we jump on the guy and slaughter him. We move on from the gun pit into a large chamber. There are some slaves on drugs there that look manic. We go up and succesfully kill them. BANG! 3 orcs burst in we turn around and fight them, I get hit but the others finish them off.

There are some glints in the room, these are needles. Two of our phykers get injected and take a minor mutation. I hit a button and we find out the room is a gas chamber. The gas causes the rest of us to also have minor mutations. When we wake up there is a shadow in the corner. A couple of guys run up, I go up and put a knife to his throat thinking he was an enemy. He shoots me with his bolt vpistol saying he is not and ememy, I get knocked out.

He takes the rest of them to a library, some of them take wunds from daemon books. A chaos sorceror lord comes in and takes all of them (exept for me) and teaches them how to use there powers, In some conversation some of them learn more and some get better accomadation (wounds get healed). Eventualy he wakes me up and sits me on a chair.... 

To be comtinued...

Overall it was a great game with lots of zapping and funny remarks and situations. I am getting posessed next time by a khornate daemon.Yay me! Time for some real fun. I know the story is weak at the moment but we wanted to jump straight into action.

Tuesday Gaming: Dark Heresy with an evil twist.

So, today some people in our grop including me started playing a chaos dark heresy. In our group of seven we have 4 sorcerers (phycers), 1 possesed (a made up thing. It's me!), 1 cleric and an armsman who is like the sergeant.

Today trhe cleric and the armsman (Stu) didn't play but they will drop in next time. We progressed well today and our GM was nice enough to give a scenario which got us started with some neat bonuses. I now have big eyes increaing my perception but lowering my fellowship.

It was really enjoyable. Oh yea. Can you tell me whether you think it's ok and whether you want Dark heresy on this blog or whether I should make another new blog for it.

Thanks for reading,

Tuesday Gaming: Let down and pick up.

So, I was let down at the club today as my opponent had to go early so I only got in a 650 point game. Then when we started playing I had great fun and remembered after 2 turns to use the storm bolter on the drop pod. I got smashed by chaos but oh well!

I did a lot of talking and building of the clubs stuff. We made some kind of plans of what to do in the future!

My list was a rune priest in term armor with all the jazz, 9 bloodclaws and a wolf guard (he let me off o only having 1) and 10 grey hunters. Blood claws in pod. Not to bad but I needed some ranged support.

Thanks for reading,

Tuesday Gaming: of Tau and Tyranids

So, today was my school warhammer clubs gaming night. I taught a Tay player how to play and had some fun with my wolves. I can't belive that I rolled 5 dice consecutively for terminator 2+ armours and rolled 4 ones, this resulted in my 'super' four man termie squad and rune priest to just a rune priest. I had fun still. The nid game was not mine but a friends though I controlled the long fangs I was letting him use for a couple of turns. It's funny how, on the web nids are considered underpowered but in out gaming group, because not every one is that experienced, canifexes are considered overpowered for the points and the army can get silly with the amount of models!

So, overall I really enjoyed this week. Look back again next tuesday for a game report on my first proper outing with wolves!!!
