1000heathens vs. Armond

[Armond]

I like that slipstreams!  what say you heathens?!

[Slips]

FORGE THAT NARRATIVE!

[Armond]

FORGE THAT NARRATIVE!

Hilarious, that was something we were joking about yesterday!

[Hyaenidae]

Lol, I'm down, man.

[Vesper]

That raises an interesting question, what were the frigates of the Space Marines Legions ? Gladius ?

 

Cool stuff, dudes. Keep 'em coming, that's pleasant stuff.

[Perrin]

Really enjoyable read brothers Iron Within, Iron Without!

Looking forward to seeing the next one. More points and a larger board maybe? Or even more players, two separate forces raiding the same target trying to get the most resources?

Haven't played for years so this may not work in the modern rules, but giving the defenders slightly better movement range could be a good way to account for it being on home turf. An extra inch or so.

Maybe if more than a certain percentage of shots from one squad miss then they have to roll to see if they breached a wall or hit something explosive, which could explode and damage the target further? A little extra bonus to make up for poor marksmanship

Extinction had that info. Check the Fleets of the Heresy thread. I'm not sure, off the top of my head.

[Vesper]

Oh, just did so :).

And I used that time to add a few new Sons of Horus ships inroduced by The Talon of Horus !

[Iron Hands Fanatic]

Huh, looks like a slightly smaller Dread might be useful for those tight spaceship corridors *cough* _Lucifer *cough*

[GhostMalone]

Deffinately more brutal then normal ZM

 

Templates ahoy!

So guys that's pretty awesome

[Armond]

Glad everyone enjoyed, we will definitely be broadcasting when the next game comes around.  Maybe we should make this an interesting "campaign" for just the two of us haha.  Just record the battles, and write little narratives on it.  Just have to come up with some fluff and all.  But of course heathens would need to want to do this as well!

[Marshal Rohr]

I might be developing witch powers, but I'm fairly certain your next board will be twice as big ;)

[Armond]

Don't worry, no witch powers, that is just a logical conclusion ;)  

[Hyaenidae]

I might be developing witch powers, but I'm fairly certain your next board will be twice as big

Actually, three times as big.

I just won another (2nd ed) space hulk board on Ebay.... :D

[Marshal Rohr]

No excuse not to do the full Blood in the Void campaign :P

[Hyaenidae]

Oh, I want to sooooo bad. Just this little game with Armond has me all riled up to start making a crap-ton of infantry of all types! :D

 

This was the best game I think I've ever played.

 

You hear that, y'all? Play Blood in the Void. All the cool kids are doin' it.  :P

[Armond]

It was definitely fun and can really contribute to the growth of a campaign! I am looking to take this experience once I have move out to Okinawa!

 

I still vote game two as a surface battle. Maybe I end up in high orbit near an IW planet and send my ADVON Company down to recon and target potential targets for parts to repair the damage done to my frigate by the IWs when thu boarded us.

[Hyaenidae]

Cool. Game three could depend on that outcome, maybe an actual void fight?

[Armond]

I think that could work, whether I snagged what I needed or not, I would have to return to my anchored vessel to either escape your pursuing forces or to ensure I can get the parts back to the ship.  So ya, you would probably attempt a breach on the hull, I would send guys out to stop you before you can get in and possibly interfere with possible repairs?  This can go a lot of places!

[Slips]

Might as well post this vid here since you did use the Board...and well Heathens might look here first. Without further adieu;

[Reyner]

Looks like a lot of fun! I'll ask my mate if he wants to try this when we have more stuff painted - my Iron Warriors defending their vessel from rampaging Word Bearers!

[Fire Golem]

It does look fun, I'd like to try my RG against someone one day, with them infiltrating an enemy vessel, maybe with rules for like being spotted and alarms being raised and such.

[Emperors Immortals]

Fantastic! Loved the match and GG guys.

 

Im seriously hoping for more action guys....Maybe a 2x2 area as a loading bay? Random section failure due to Asteroids/Breaches? 

 

MOOOOAARR!!!!

[Hyaenidae]

I hope that Armond and my game not only was enjoyable for y'all to read, but also proved that smal scale HH games are not only possible, but can be quite enjoyable as well.  :)  

 

Dare I say, Blood in the Void games may be an excellent way to introduce newer players in all your areas to the Heresy setting. Most of you crazies are planning another army anyway ( :lol: ), and this would be an excellent excuse to build a small 1000 point army to match your own, craft some Space Hulk esqe corridors (or be lazy and buy an old board like me, lol), take it to your LGS, set up the board on an empty table with each of the models on each side of the table, and wait for someone to take the bait.  :D

 

Finding other Heresy gamers can be difficult, but this could be an excellent way to bring it to THEM. Part of the Ship.....  ;)

 

 

On that note, I will be shortly moving this thread to the Battle Reports section. I hope y'all enjoyed!

[spu00sed]

Thanks for the report. Looks like a very fun game.

 

I like the idea that some walls are considered to be exterior and high strength shots that miss their targets could breach them. Makes taking meltas and las cannons a bit more risky. Or fun depending on your outlook.
