Ork Fest! - A wonderful Parade Featuring the 'Pretty Boys' of the Galaxy

Don't they look pretty? We'll, they do say that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. These excellently painted Games Workshop 40K Orks actually took part in a game of Mantic's 'Firefight' and won.

Firefight! - Mantic Games sci fi

Elite Enforcers decimated an army of Marauding Orks. The Enforcer player made better use of his superior firepower and capitalised on better command roles at the start of each turn.

This was our first trial of the 'Firefight' system, by Mantic Games. So far, so good. It seems to give a good game and we got up to speed relatively quickly. The Command Point mechanism is a great feature, as is the alternative unit movement system, which really makes you think tactically.

The Unsophisticated vs The Possessed - Orcs vs Cultists

A force of monstrously unsophisticated Orcs are defeated by a determined detachment of brainwashed - and in some cases - possessed, Cultists, who have fallen under the spell of the dark forces of Chaos.

More harmless fun using the Xenos Rampant rules. The rules worked better this time as we had created more playable armies.

Xenos Rampant - inaugural game

Necrons defeat a band of depraved, daemonic possessed Chaos Cultists in our first game of Xenos Rampant. The rules follow the same mechanisms of the popular Lion Rampant rules by Osprey Publishing/ Daniel Mersey.
