The Jendari Defence Army

To counter the Selenoids on Jendar, House Baronor and the Jendari Collective put the Second Global War on hold and formed the Jendari Defence Army. The JDA had been formed prior to the Selenoid War, to counter the possible invasion of Jendar by the ALL or the newly formed Supremacy of Kannis (SoK). The JDA […]

The Road to Cabolt

Collective forces continued their advance in northern Caerdonia down towards the capital Cabolt. Jendari Rangers, Rin Empire, Jendari Defence Army, Tigers and even Dragons assaulted House Baronor positions held by Baronor Guards, Knights and Solar Raider Mercenaries. The stats required and army lists are minimal with the latest version of Deathzap and the simplicity of […]

Charge of the Bite Brigade

According to Archaeologists at the University of Nyandar the Boskovan Mountains were where the first Solar Colonists set foot on the planet Jendar. One thousand years later the mountains would see some of the most significant battles of the ‘War of the Three Dragons’, and in 1237AC battles of the much smaller ‘Pudding War’. Now […]

On the Outskirts of Ariban

With the failed invasion of Haerkalia, Collective forces had once again found themselves fighting in Khef, but this time the retreating armies were in disarray and a defence was slow to develop allowing the forces of House Baronor to maintain their momentum and strike deep into the country. A hasty defence force was cobbled together, […]

Rescue the Cambarian

On the northern coast of Haerkalia a Cambarian Stalker trapped behind enemy lines with key intelligence and needs pulling out. A small force of Jendari Tigers is teleported to the area, but a similar sized force of House Guards responds hoping to eliminate the escaping Stalker. In this scenario each time the Tigers make it […]

The Invasion of Haerkalia Battle of Alnoth

It’s been a while since I’ve touched my current Deathzap campaign – the war for the planet Jendar between the Jendari Collective and House Baronor. The previous battle is here and had led to the invasion of the country of Haerkalia by the Jendari Collective after the failure of House Baronor’s invasion of Khef. The […]

The Invasion of Khef

After establishing a beachhead in Goza the Harkovian army had become bogged down. Supplies were limited, but the Knights fought on nobly and held the ground despite overwhelming Jendari numbers. It was clear to the Baronor commanders that a second front needed opening up to split the defenders. They chose to strike at Khef: The […]

The Second Global War Campaign – Story Battle Report: Close Call

The young Prime Darrik June pulled his pistol from its holster and examined it closely. “You won’t need that” spat Chief Protector Cassil. “Because you’ve got me?” smirked the Prime sarcastically. “No Prime” replied Cassil, “because we’re on parade and if they want to take you out it’ll be from afar, I’d choose a Cambarian […]

Counter Attack

With the Harkovian foothold established in Goza, Gozan forces scrambled to push them out. As mentioned in my previous post I’m taking the opportunity of these early stages in the war to figure out the rules and my campaign system. I wanted faster and deadlier melee combat as all combat so far is fairly slow. […]

The Invasion of Goza

So my long planned Global War has finally kicked off. With Harkovian Drop Troops making a name for themselves in the early stages of the invasion of Goza. The hope is that a push through Goza and into the Rin Empire will cut out the heart of the Jendari Collective and the rest of the […]

The Deathzap Universe – 2100AC

The planets of the Xolar system first found themselves colonised by humanity 2000 years ago when the Jendari pilgrims from Titan, Europa, Io, Callisto and Ganymede escaped through the Martian Portal. Mordrac the planet closest to the star Xol has yet to be terraformed and remains super hot and uninhabitable. Kannis the second planet was […]

Deathzap 1 Skirmish Battle Report: House Baronor vs The Allegiance of Gnossos

A little blast from my past here, I played a little game this evening using the skirmish version of the very first version of my Deathzap rules (up in the menu on the right). The skirmish rules have the following additions – Points Values (which I rarely used in the main game: UNIT POINTS COST […]

Deathzap Progress

So I didn’t manage to get my Deathzap campaign going in the week I had off of work, but I did make a lot of progress on the Deathzap front. I played a good few disconnected games just to make sure the rules for all the factions were good to go by the time I […]

North and South Cameria go to War!

Thinking I’d make use of the some of the figures seen in my last post I’ve embarked on a long intended project within the Deathzap universe, that being the Camerian Civil War. I’ve started by painting two simple skirmish forces of North and South Camerians using the old Airfix Afrika Korps and 8th Army. First […]

The War Begins

Prime Coldan Thrane backed away from his view screen. He nervously paced the room and listened carefully to the report. “My Sister will have fulfilled her contract flawlessly” said a voice. It came from a cloaked figure standing in the corner of the room. Her dark shape against the ivory walls looked like an ink […]

A Deathzap Campaign: Oltra

The dark planet of Kannis is a patchwork of abandoned facilities and factories. The planet is rich in natural resources, but strange occurrences have put a stop to progression. There are whispers of ghosts, strange mutations among the populace and dark, arcane rituals carried out by cloaked figures in the shadows. Mortan’s Men a faction […]

Battle Squadron!

I’m hoping to play a larger game of Deathzap at some point this bank holiday weekend, but since we were rather busy today I only had time for some maintenance. A trip to Tesco garnered some Tupperware containers to store my Deathzap forces in which will save me digging around in the big box I […]

Do You Have a Flag?

In the interest of world building, and also because apparently I’m a bit of a flag nerd, I thought I’d put some flags together after I watched a TedTalk on Vexillology. Here’s the specific video, although I’ll be listing the main points below if you haven’t got twenty minutes. The main points of flag design […]

Paint Maketh The Man

The above the picture is taken from my old long dead blog… it was way back when I first discovered Poundland’s figure offering, they came in a bags of 100 and had that familiar bright orange and green cardboard packaging that read combat… er… something. At the time I was working on some rules for […]

Deathzap Fluff

So the we’re moving house. This has made hobbying difficult as I’m sure you can imagine, and gaming next to impossible, other than maybe getting out my portable stuff from time to time. I thought however rather than lamenting the lack of hobby I’d use this little break to write up my imagined universe for […]

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, […]

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 […]

House Baranor Enter the Fray!

I wanted a force representing House Baranor. House Baranor are a group of nations all pledging fealty to the Baranor family, currently headed by Queen Elena Baranor. The force needed to look noble, and uniform, apart from that before starting I didn’t know which direction it would take.
