We had three games at the club on Monday. A lively game of Xenos Rampant pitching some Khorne Berzerkers against a collection of Chaos Space Marines; A Midgard clash between two forces of Celts/Ancient Britons played with 20mm plastic figures; A game of Mortem et Gloriam with a barbarian army talking on some very late/post Romans.
On a far away frontier planet two gangs of desperadoes search an abandoned settlement for supplies. In their frantic and violet hunt for loot, they are hampered by roaming herds of afflicted zombies.
Using Osprey's Xenos Rampant rules, a blood thirsty mob of unemployed butchers easily defeated a clan of Chaos Cultists.
An army of Orcs managed to overcome the fierce firepower of the Tau Empire to land an historic win.
Who says you need fancy weapons and high falutin' strategy and tactics, when all you have to do is screech WAAAAGH! at the height of your voice and charge headlong at the enemy?
The Orc casualties were horrific, but who cares? They certainly don't....

Tonight we had a venture into 'historical science fiction', wargaming an historical campaign set in the past of the future....???! This was based on Warhammer 30,000 the 'Horus Heresy'.
We had heretic Iron Warriors of the IV Legion pitted against the loyalist Revenant Legion (later to be renamed Blood Angels).
This game had a retro feel, albeit set in the future, although 10,000 years before the the 40,000 universe of contemporary times.
Confused? You should be....
