League play - First Win For The Wolfenburg Steelers

Hard Hitting Action Against The Pointy Ears On The Pitch!

Those High Elf players might be fast but they do crumple easy when you hit them.

My Steelers notched their first win in league play against the only High Elf team taking the field this season, The Nomads.  It was a close game that saw the Steelers come out just barely ahead with a final score of 2-1.  The game was very exciting and came down to the last play when my opponent failed the second of two "go for it" rolls he was attempting to try and make it to the endzone in order to tie the game.  The league has been success so far as well as a lot of fun to play in, We have had more than one league meetup that has resulted in three simultaneous games of Blood Bowl which is a sight to warm any tabletop wargamer's heart.  Stay tuned to this space for more updates as we prepare for: first the playoffs and then Season II this fall.

Three simultaneous games of Blood Bowl!

When you're ahead with only a few turns left, prevent defense on the kickoff is a necessity!

Imperial Misunderstandings...

Or Camo And Feathered Wings Clash At The Cooling Towers

"Master Korlael, the Catachan unit that witnessed the ravings of the Fallen we ran to ground this morning are deployed on the other side of this subterranean manufactorum's cooling vents.  Squads Zanthor and Scalprum are moving into position to ensure that whatever the guard may have heard will not leave this world." 

The long awaited meeting between my Dark Angels and the picture perfect Catachans of the Wachtmeister's 40K2ndAC army finally occurred and it was great fun.  It was my first game with the 2nd edition ruleset since I was a teen.  The combination of nostalgia for the old days and the satisfaction of fielding the colorful 2nd edition army I've been working on for the last year was an awesome feeling.  Unfortunately that feeling didn't translate into onboard success since the Catachans defeated my Dark Angels 12VP to 5 VP.  However since I play more for the love of the game rather than competitiveness, getting our asses handed to us by a bunch of baseline humans was only a small speed bump in the road to pure happiness that this classic game generated.  The Wachtmeister took notes during the game so I will leave the detailed battle report to him.  Follow along after the jump for some awesome pictures of the action and a version of the events that fits with the perceptions of my members of the 1st Legion...

WH40K 2nd Edition Army Challenge II - June Completed!

Combat Squad Astelan

The variety of units that I've painted in the second season has been a lot of fun and make for a more dynamic looking army next to the models I painted for the first season. 

Squad Astelan bears the grey eagles and trim of the 6th Company, composed of all tactical squads as a reserve company to reinforce the three main battle companies (3rd, 4th, 5th).
