GhostMalone Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 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! You heard the captain! Part of the ship part of the crew!!!!

Armond Posted September 9, 2014 Author Share Posted September 9, 2014 I am actually excited about building another unit and equipping them for fluff and seeing how they fare in shipboard combat! Or void! Anyway, this is definitely an easy way to get people into like 30k and shows that at lower point levels you can still have tons of fun(lol, nickname of a basic trainee I knew). Anyway, we just have to coordinate a second game! Who knows what we will come up with next. Well actually second will prob be the planet side battle! I dunno how many points, but I would say somewhere between 1250-1500 to easy ourselves into learning the regular aspect of 7th edition rules! Good call on moving to batrep section, spreads the goodstuff to the other places in the board!

Hyaenidae Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Oh, almost forgot. Considering my Vet Sergeant failed to kill a damn thing, and this fella below did, the new and freshly promoted Sergeant of my Vet squad is.... Mohawk Axe guy.

Hyaenidae Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Dude, Blood in the Void games are just amazing. I can't say enough how much fun I had. EDIT: And thank you for the compliments! He'll get a few chevrons and rockers to mark his rank later tonight.

Conn Eremon Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Demoting a Sergeant and replacing him with one of his own men for failing to meet standards in a single battle is just the most Iron Warriorsy thing I can imagine.

Slips Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 No litany of hate, no witty one-liner. No, this marine, before getting his skull cleaved by a power axe uttered the words "I hate that guy..."

Armond Posted September 9, 2014 Author Share Posted September 9, 2014 Oh no doubt, that gutter trash found himself face-down, like all warriors of so declared iron shall find themselves. Should that not be their end, then theirs shall be one of a skittish prey-thing whispering their fears to the lights overhead. Their hushed tones, pleading for the dark as deep as the void to stay at bay; then night shall fall and the sons of Nostramo, the scions of the Night Haunter, will fall upon them as the crag cougar upon its latest meal. Ware the night sons of iron, for before the tell of time shows as rust upon your armor, we will visit upon you vengeance...

Conn Eremon Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 My limited layman's understanding of space says that is totally possible (and has selective reading, so don't bother disproving it). The question is, is the ship's steering wheel close enough to a port for one of the Night Lords to be able to reach in and steer while he pushes?

Moonstalker Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 With a Space Hulk re-release coming up, and this battle for inspiration, I'm gonna have to figure out a Blood in the Void/ZM list of my own, and dragoon some of my group into playing against me.

Kol Saresk Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 My limited layman's understanding of space says that is totally possible (and has selective reading, so don't bother disproving it). The question is, is the ship's steering wheel close enough to a port for one of the Night Lords to be able to reach in and steer while he pushes? From my limited understanding, due to the complete lack of friction, unless they are fighting a gravitational pull the only thing they'd have to overcome is the vessel's inertia. So get out those land speeders, thunderhawks, raptors, storm eagles and mush!
