A bedroom floor, socks and airfix figures

Fancy terrain and well painted figures aside, you can still have fun rolling dice and moving little men around. It ain’t pretty, smells kinda funky, but it does give me an appreciation for 20th century tactics, plus there’s a certain nostalgia in it for me. At this point I called the German retreat, no use […]

That Eclectic Miniatures Heroscape Ripoff Game

So I’ve been painting a lot lately, and haven’t been playing much, even solo. So I thought I’d play a quick game with those 15mm figures I picked up from Irregular a few weeks back. Hopefully you’re not too bothered by historical inaccuracy in your games although funnily enough only one of the units here […]

Grid of Death – Battle Report

The Tribeship Torvax is home to the Bloodline Tribe of Solar Raiders, one of the largest among the SolRad fleets it harbours impressive hab-domes, rich, but artificial jungles fill the domes in order to create a self sustaining breathable atmosphere on the ship. A small invasion force of Vel scout the Torvax after infiltrating it […]

The Battle For The Pudding – Battle Report

‘The Pudding War’ was a small and short lived conflict between the nations of Caerdonia and Su Khan, and was fought entirely within the Boskova Mountain range on the border between the two countries in the year 1237AC. To put that in perspective the events of my games of Deathzap take place around 2000AC. Su […]

The First Encounter – A Super Hero Battle Report

An explosion erupted in down town Ultra City, Renegade the masked madman, used one of his patented Rene-Grenades to take out former Astronaut turned super hero Astro-Man and humanities greatest protector the Golden Phoenix. Then as the evil Nightmare attempted to subdue Red Vector from behind, Comet The Space Boy was fried by Zzap’s electric […]

Of Blood and Beasts – Battle Report

The Solar Raiders faced off against the Jendari Tigers in a quick game this evening. Their objective was to take and hold the burned out tank. Whoever had it after 6 turns would be the victor. Both sides advance. The Jendari Dinosaurs clash with the Solar Raiders and tear them to shreds. The Solar Raiders […]

Knights for my own Little Wars

I remembered while reading H.G. Well’s Little Wars that he struggled to come up with quick and easy rules for simulating musketry, I thought if you go back before muskets, and have say knights fighting each other with ballistas and catapults or trebuchets instead of cannons, problem solved eh? Well, no… for some reason I […]

Tigers VS Rebels – A Simple Toy Soldier Battle Report

In the country of Babbacumbe, in the half destroyed town of Jedda the governments own forces known simply as ‘Tigers’ take on some Rebels. The Tigers move towards a bombed out house. The Rebels take up positions outside a destroyed factory. You can see how particularly bad some of the figures I am using are, […]

Tis The Season To Blast Aliens – Battle Report

Today I finally managed to set up the table for Deathzap and get a game in with all my toys so far. On the one side we have the combined forces of House Baranor and the Jendari Collective, including the infamous Jendari Tigers and their trained dinosaurs. On the other side we have, the Vel, […]

Carnival of Carnivores – Battle Report

So I tried playing my carnivores against each other this evening. Instead of putting down two herbivore, two carnivore I instead decided to go with predictably four carnivore feeding points. The objectives were ‘Infiltrate’ which meant getting half your force into your opponents deployment zone, ‘Destruction’ which means wiping out half of your opponents force, […]

Roasted Rex – Battle Report

So a little more play-testing this evening, changes from the previous edition of the rules (last nights rules to be exact) include two slight tweaks to make combat more bloody (yum yum!) and also there have been some tweaks to objectives. Below you can see deployment, T-Rex, Giganotosaurus, Utahraptor and Allosaurus, take on Stegosaurus, […]

Dino-Wars (Is that title taken already?)

I finally settled on a rule set, one of my own concoction and I’m so happy it actually works! So here is my inaugural play test. Here’s deployment. On the left we have a Stegosaurus, an Allosaurus, a Styracosaurus and a Triceratops, against them on the right is a Giganotosaurus, Spinosaurus, T-Rex and another Allosaurus. […]

Total Domination – Battle Report

A unit of Baranor infantry attempt to tank hunt, but the SolRad’s get in the way.

Getting Rather Sel-Annoyed

Here’s some more images of some play testing I’ve been doing. This time the Selenoids took on a platoon of noble House Baranor infantry, with Baranor coming out on top 7 objective points to 2. I realised the Selenoids could probably do with some decent anti infantry fire power as they are all currently wielding […]

VILLAGE MASSACRE – BATTLE REPORT

Here’s an attempt at a far more in depth battle report. I played the game solo this evening trying out two new forces, the House Baronor force seen in the last post, and a new SolRad force almost completed (just the basing to finish off). I’ll post properly on these guys shortly. Here’s the battle: […]

Take me to Church – Battle Report

Working out the kinks in my home brew rules is a lot of fun, as is expanding and deepening the sci fi universe these battles take place in. Here for your enjoyment, the combined forces of the Jendari Collective, the League of Zandor and the Solar Raiders face off against the Allegiance of Gnossos and […]
