Howdy folks - apologies for the long absence. I've been a little busy getting ready for what has turned into a massive Siege game we have planned for this year's Oldhammer weekend at Foundry's new place in Newark. I've been up to my neck in marshalling Goblinoids into some kind of order and have a fair bit of painting to do to get the horde ready for August - forthcoming post imminent.
I'm also conscious of the backlog of games I've played recently that I'd like to feature on the blog and would like to clear the decks before the big weekend. Rather helpfully Warlord Paul has written up a fine report of the game we played at the last Blog Con meet up at the Elvington Air Museum (well worth a visit if you're ever in York!) - you can read it here.
So, onto the next game we played a while ago now, during the Battle at the Farm get together I held at my folks' place up in the Lakes.
After a good full English (and me nearly severely burning my hand by foolishly catching the frying pan full of hot oil I had ready for the fried eggs!) we played through the eponymous Rogue Trader scenario, Battle at the Farm.
Now that we had our eyes in and our dice arms warmed up we were ready for bigger (smaller?) things in the form of a three way game of Space Marine (Epic 2nd edition).
Ollie had brought along his rather fine looking proxy Tau force in the form of the Okami Technocracy Combine from Onslaught Miniatures, Richard took control of the Space Marines from my Executioners Chapter and I commanded my Imperial Guard army.
