Work in Progress (09/08/15)

Hey guys, so I am in the middle of several projects at this time but I wanted to show you a couple that I am doing specifically for the club.

 

First we have some Age of Sigmar models getting prepared for the school club that runs before ours on Friday afternoons.

First I’m going to start with the Chaos forces as I am a known worshiper of the Chaos Gods. These are lovely models and am looking forward to getting these guys on my painting table.

Next we have something special that I’m not sure people have had a chance to play. A while ago we were lucky enough to receive a couple of starter kits from Mantic games for the Mars Attacks! tabletop game and they have been in the school cupboard for a while but I thought I would bring them home and get them painted up in case anyone wanted to give it a go. In the starter kits we got several playmats and loads of terrain pieces. I have put together a couple of playmats of my own from some cork boards which are the same size as the ones that we were given. This is one of the mats I have in progress with some of the models we have.

This is going to be a fun little project and I will be posting some more photos of it over the next few weeks.

Hope you enjoyed this post.

HHH.

Club night (07/08/15) Bolt Action, DzC and DOOM!!!

So another great night  on Friday! We had loads of people down and other games being played.

So let’s get into it.

So first we will head to a controversial battle between the forces of USA and the British army. Must be a training exercise.

Looks like this American tank has a tasty morsel in it’s sights. To good an opportunity to miss.

The Americans slowly make their move forwards, forcing the British on to the defensive.

Unfortunately, the power of the USA is too much for the British and are wiped out to a man. No wonder they are considered the greatest power on the planet.

Next we continue a few miles away where things can only be considered as a major “friendly fire” incident, as the USA face off against the USA.

We start things off with Scott’s army in a line formation and George’s army in  a more scattered formation, both of them with their tanks in the open ready to do some serious damage.

 

As the marines make their way forward George quickly move his tank to the centre of the board. During this time the foot soldiers make mincemeat of each other.

Scott’s tank get lucky and escapes incoming fire from George’s and heads out to assist his dwindling allies. By the end not much is left on the table, but the only victor is the true enemy from the East.

Me head many years into the future where the warfare has advanced but there is equally as much death. With Daniel’s UCM forces preparing for a defensive fight, while Roger’s Shiltari launch an invasion force to wipe out any resistance.

Time for some futuristic skirmish action. DOOM!!!

Ollie and I have once again joined forces to survive and escape this hellhole station and it’s evil task master Dan Kirk (the anti-christ of DOOM).

As soon as we head out from our starting point we are instantly attacked by the invaders. With my upgrade cards I can quickly cut through any enemy that I come across while Ollie can back me up with his range and damage advancing upgrades.

We head towards the next section of the station and come across a Mancubus but thankfully due to our combined strength we rip through the bastard.

Things look all clear for now as we head through the next door…

DSC_0127

…AMBUSH!!! The ultimate evil has laid a trap and has cut me off from Ollie! But luckily with my trusty chainsaw and Ollie making it through the door allows us to make short work of the Imp and Zombie that are sent to kill us.

DSC_0128

We make quick work of any invaders we come across till we find the portal that leads to the final section of the station. Ollie is attacked by one if his mortal enemies, a Demon, but is lucky enough to avoid its attack and we regroup to finish them off, gather supplies and head through the portal…

DSC_0129

 

… To pure HELL! We come across multiple enemies in the form of three Imps, two Mancubus and worst off all a Cyberdemon. I was unlucky enough to have my chainsaw broken in a previous fight and was knocked back through the portal by the Cyberdemon. Ollie is left to defend for himself. He takes out the remaining Imp’s and holds his ground against the Cyberdemon as I make my way through the portal, Ollie passes me his chainsaw and we chop the Cyberdemon to pieces then make quick work of the Mancubus.

This leaves us alone in the final section to get our barrings and take some time to regroup and recuperate. We prepare for the next invasion.

So it seemed to be a great night with some great games played. As always this makes me look forward to next week even more.

As always I hope you enjoyed this post, see you all next week.

HHH.

Club Night 24/07/15

Alright guys! So we had another amazing night of gaming last night with loads of different games going on at the same time. As usual many photos to follow. Please enjoy.

First off we were lucky enough to have an introduction to Dropzone Commander for anyone who fancied it. Thanks to @James_Alex_B from @HawkWargames for coming down and showing this off as well as being kind enough to donate a rulebook plus plenty of the terrain used in the game for anyone who wants to play in the future.

Before everything kicked off of the night we had a tense game of Guildball between @NationofLee Fisherman and Luke’s Morticians, as is usually the case Shark is able to make it to the goal and score without much hassle.

For the first time we got some people playing Age of Sigmar at the club. It looks to me that the Tombkings force has their work cut out for them against those Sigmarites but they quickly get the upperhand when some fresh troops are resurrected to bring more pain.

Now we come to a very interesting game of Malifaux, a three-way battle. Seems like some Arcanists and Neverborn are having a bit of a scrap, at which time the Guild makes an ambush to bring these criminals to justice. Unfortunately, the Guild underestimated how many enemies they would be facing a take a nasty beating. They were able to make several arrests before retreating. Better to survive and fight another day.

Next we come to the intro table to the new game from @spartangames and 343 Industries Halo Fleet Battles. I was able to build and paint everything and read the rulebook in two days in preparation, and I was exhausted by the end of it but was happy to show it off to the club. Had some interest from a couple of players and hoping to show it off to others soon.

It seems like the Dropzone bug really bit last night as we had a full game going on at the back of the room. Seems like some big ships and even a gigantic walking tank are about to make a mess of each other.

 

DSC_0143

 

Finally we had another epic battle from the world of Bolt Action. Something tells me that tank is going to make someone day really, really bad.

Some amazing games last night and great to see so many people again.

 

Looking forward to next week!!!

2D6 Lodge Club Night: 17th July 2015

Well we had quite the night on Friday at 2D6 Lodge Club Night, with most of the large tables being used for some exciting action going on.

The first table was a mighty battle of Malifaux between the Outcast crew led by Victoria of Ashes against the Arcanists crew, led by Rasputina.
What seems like a obvious advantage for the Arcanists having an Ice Golem and another large monster on their side soon changes with the Outcasts speedy ladies who race up the field and make the first kill.

Towards the end the Arcanists gained the upper hand leaving the Outcasts with only four member remaining but that doesn’t stop the girls taking down the ice golem before calling the game.

Next we come across a small battle between military forces in an intro game of Bolt Action – the fastest growing game currently at our club!

Now we come across a titanic war between robotic forces in a game of Battletech. Andy’s Light Lance of Succession Wars BattleMechs struggled against the three bigger beige-coloured Outer Rim Mercenary BattleMechs. Particularly, the poor, over-armed Wolfhound struggled with its heat and was shredded by the much larger mercenary Exterminator after only a small amount of resistance.

We travel into the far flung future of the 41st millenium now and witness a grand war between the almighty but evil forces of Chaos vs. a mixed collection of Space Marines, Imperial Guardsmen and Necron forces.

The gigantic Imperial Knight quickly catches and utterly obliterates the Chaos Land Raider but the Marines inside have already been able to disembark just in time to launch their attack against the loyalist Marines.

With the Knight on the rampage in the Chaos lines it all looks lost but Chaos is eternal. GLORY TO CHAOS!!!

[Editor: Harry does have some Chaos biases that should be pointed out to readers here 😉 ]

Finally we head back thousands of years to WWII and a skirmish between the forces of Canada and India in a game of Bolt Action.

Well I’d call that an amazing night of gaming!!! Hoping for another great one next week when I will be running intro games of the new release from Spartan Games, Halo: Fleet Battle.

Games Played at 2d6 Lodge : 4th July 2014

A selection of the games played at 2d6 Lodge club on the evening of Friday 4th July 2014.

We’re always happy to show people how to play games as well as just talk about what we like about them.  This week, our resident Chaos Acolyte ran through the rules of Warhammer 40,000 with a new starter to the game – but it wasn’t the only game we played at the club this Friday. Warhammer, Necromunda and X-Wing games were all being played as well!

A Random Assortment of 2d6 Miniatures

Thanks to the photograph skills of regular club member O Doză we can present to you a gallery of a random selection of 2d6 miniatures owned by the members of the 2d6 Lodge club. Many thanks to O Doză for bringing down his mini photography studio for the night!

OK, I realise that there are more than 2d6 miniatures below, but I meant miniatures from the 2d6 Lodge members, not roll 2d6 and that is how many miniatures you get to see! 😉

If you’ve got pictures of your minis that you use at the club you want to have uploaded to this blog, do get in touch!

2d6 Apocalypse : December 2013

Every few months, when we have enough people to stage it, we have a night where we have a Warhammer 40,000 Apocalypse game.  Here is a small gallery of photos from the 2d6 Apocalypse game we had in December 2013.

Our apologies for it being such a small gallery this time!  We rather concentrated on having fun rather than taking photos!

We’ll update this post when we remember who won! :)

2d6 Apocalypse : August 2013
