Echoes of Eisenstein - upscaling madness with the XIV

[Sherrypie]

Thanks Cordova and TC, looking forwards to creating some... memorable... games with them.

 

Meanwhile, painted a squadron of Valkyries for today's game. Selen II's armoured brigade can finally field infantry as well now that they have *some* proper transports for them :D

Really nice work - lots of contrast and readability  (I do really like the Valkyrie models ... shame they're not available any more)

Cheers Cordova!

Yeah, in smaller scale the flying lunch box is great. I lucked out when one member of our club just had a box of these lying around unused.

 

This time in Epic gaming: a three-way variant of the Battle of the Sulphur River, 4k NetEA armies (to win you must control the bridges and roadside towns). We altered the initiative system slightly so that each player could make one activation on both opposing fronts and retain on one of them before passing the initiative to avoid the common three player death-spiral where you must do something against one player while repeatedly getting pummeled by the other without time to respond. It worked really well.

 

The Orks and Imperial Fists went hard at each other, giving the PDF tankers ample time to roll over and smash their bridges clear with tonnes of merciless steel, ultimately taking the third bridge as well with a daring Valkyrie drop of stormtroopers who had gotten themselves together after spending most of the game panicking in a corner after repelling an orbital Ork drop hurtling towards them through the nearby office tower.
