What happens at the club? | |
| The club has been running for approximately 7 months now and is doing very well! It currently has thirty gamers who attend regularly and several others who occasionally turn up with their own armies. It runs almost every night in the store (after closing time)and usually about 9/10 people turn up each evening. Anyone above the age of thirteen is welcome. Sorry, we wanted to include younger gamers but unfortunately it became too hard to keep an eye on them and ensure they played properly without disturbing other gamers too often. Currently only Warhammer 40,000 is played but hopefully this will change in the near future as more members of staff become involved. |

Comments on last week |
Monday-Paul finally finished painting his black leigon terminator squad. May the Emperor quake in his ancient boots! Rick continued with his Ulthwé army, and Ian's Blood Angel army got touched up with a lick of paint, those Honour Guard have never looked so fearsome :0). Tuesday-The Imperial bunker took a turn for the worse when Dave decided it needed some 'realistic battle damage' and so today was spent remodelling the existing tower and adding a second walkway. Craig and Steve also managed to put together some more forests and have created an interesting 'ice world' piece. Wednesday-Chris's Marines took a right thrashing today as they came head to head with Craigs Ork Boyz. This battle was only 1200 points but the Orks practically swarmed the outnumbered Marines and came out on top after a gruelling 14 turns. Thursday-This evening saw Rick's Eldar army pitted against Steve's Imperial Guardsmen! A very quick battle that lasted only 7 turns despite the 1500 point armies, the Imperials utterly eradicated the Ulthwé Eldar with their newly aqquired Basalisk tank and mortar squads. The unfortunate turn of events leading to the defeat of the Eldar included a Wave Serpent being blown away by a basilisk and the remnant of the Seer Council within being mortared and then charged by a unit of 7 rough riders. Friday-A few lost souls happened upon our humble store and ended up being drawn into a bloodbath...no, not a real bloodbath, an introductory game between 20 Khorne Bezerkers and 20 Space Marines! A few other battles were played, the one to stand out was a ferocious battle between Tau and Tyranids. Yes, the tyranids did win. Saturday-A three way battle raged for 5 hours today, between Tyranids, Blood Angels and Orks. The Blood angels eventually came out on top, due to their excellent armour, stalwart defence of the imperial bunker, a flanking manouver, oh... and the Orks tendancy to build guns that explode in their own faces! The tyranids hit the Marine Terminators hard, but could not overrun them before the Command squad entered the battle. Sunday-Ian finished giving his Blood Angels a makeover, Rick eventually finished painting his new War Walkers and Craig's new Orks in Mega Armour have been finished too! |
