Nick's News! On the Table - Storm Talons

Warhammer: 40,000

Flyers update - the Storm Talon gun ships have been assembled now and are ready to be taken to the next stage.



Just putting them on their flying stands gives a sense of how big an impression they should make on the battlefield......particularly when escorting the Storm Raven.......

Warhammer: 40,000

A couple of six man Devastator Squads were assembled to join my mighty Fifth Company.
These are going to replace the Centurion Devastators which have now become Ninth Company.




The first squad are equipped with a pair of multi-meltas and a pair of grav cannons.


A quick going over with my technique and they are table top ready to go......

Next up is the squad armed with a pair of las-cannons and a pair of missile launchers....

Nick's News! On Display

Bolt Action

These are some photos of some Solido die cast models which have been boxed away at my parents house for many many years. I dug them out to see if I could employ them in my Bolt Action games but at 1/50th scale they sit a little too large on the table.



They are nice models and deserve to be on display and not in a box.
As ever though, it is finding shelf space........

Nick's News! On the Table

Bolt Action

I began work on squad three of my plastic US Airborne miniatures.


The squad is twelve men, same as the other two squads but it has only the one BAR

The pictures were taken during a battle against Rob at the North West Gaming Centre (28th August)


We played the mission: Hold Until Relieved and I was the attacker which meant my Sherman was held in reserve.

So, turn two I rolled a double six and the Sherman stayed put. Turn three I rolled double six again!
Turn four and I rolled eleven! At the end of turn four it was pretty much all over for my infantry and it would not have made any difference if the Sherman had decided to come on. Game Over!
