A queit night at the Moruya Marauders Games Club, yet fun was had.

It just goes to show that if the email that is usually sent out does not make it as people are ill then we all seem to forget that it is games night. It is warming up here in Australia and so the winter blues should be fading and yet a mere 4 of us made it to the games night on Tuesday. After the usually set up for 10+ and the obligatory show and tell from club members (more below) we came to realise that only two of us were ready for a game.
I had longed to introduce Infinity to all and sundry and took the chance to suggest a 4 way battle at a lower than usual points tally. 200 points we decides and we had to come in on the corners. Plus I introduced TACO 2.0 to the game.
Infinity is scenario driven and the TACO system is a nice way to use cards to give objectives that can be made turn by turn. Once one is collected you add more to the pile. So each round can be quite a challenge.
I was pretty chuffed at how the game came together and I hope all had fun. It did look pretty good.

Set up

different direction

Show and tell, a great little Slave diorama that was in a build and paint online competition one of our members keenly applies himself too. His last effort was a massive Chaos Dwarf Airship!

Some really great old minis in this lot and one or two I might add to the pile if I can get hold of them.

The huge TAG on its side took most of my orders for a turn and a half to get rid of.

The bear was an Intelligence Operative in the game, brilliant use of CRSPR Cas-9 technology to add bears and intelligence together.

The Avatar TAG behind the flyer would also not die no matter how many players shot at it.

Well lets hope next night is a bit bigger. But then maybe I need to promote us a bit better.

Late August down the club, more 40K, Mordheim, Kings of War and my little Infinity table.

'Twas a good turn up at the end of August for the club night and though a few had the remnants of a flu like cold most brought out their toys and chucked a few dice. I did not, the dreaded lurgy got me and my energy was to low. But sitting in on a game of 40K made me appreciate that the games has some very good strong points to it now. I love the whole object element and the use of tactical objective cards. Reminds me a lot of another Sci-Fi game that uses less minis. 40K does seem to play fast and furious and some elements looked very different from the versions I have played and loved but I will be giving it a go sometime soon. So on with the show.

Mordheim board, I think two games happened sequentially.

I have no idea who built it but this Tavern, gatehouse looks the part, just a little undamaged for the ruins of the once great city of Mordheim.

40K, loved the mat for this game evokes a real sense of impending doom.

Nice Buildings too, must ask who makes them.

OK so this was a bit of inspiration for a fellow gamer. Gold airbrushed on, (or silver for the middle miniature), Minitaire Ghost tint magenta again airbrushed and here is the real bonus, a gold sharpie pen to redo the gold outlining of all the armour panels. Clever, and idea stolen. Really like the red too.

40K game I watched, nasty Chaos Tzeench vs nastier Tyrannids. Close combat is huge now and rather brutal. the nids seem to go down in droves and had very little left but the objectives and tactical objective cards gathered throughout the match meant that the nids won.

Once upon a time I would never leave so many expensive models in an enclosed space like this but the game plays differently now.

Tau vs Tau Civil War!!!!!!!!11

Chaos tainted Primarch taking a hit or 13.

KOW

Battle of the beasts in the Kings of War match, treeman alas was turned to kindling.

The look of despondence as you realise that 30+ Tau face you with shotguns and they work very differently now for the Tau!

Khorne demons

My little board for Infinity. This was played at home with a great friend that popped over. Infinity looks so good when the board has lots of buildings even if most of mine are the paper/card ones from all the different sets.

Looking forward to next club night but not sure what to play should I go for a game of 40K, continue with Mordheim and progress my warband or bring out the Infinity toys again. Who knows.
