If you can guess why this particular base sports some odd characters, you know a surprising bit of JcDent trivia.

LAST CHANCE TO legally ACQUIRE BATTLESTAR GALACTICA: DEADLOCK

Wonder what happened - did the license run out?

In any case, as far as gameplay goes, it is much superior to Battlefleet: Gothic. Too bad I'm not that passionate about the setting, but it's a great game.

Holy shit, these are some good motherfucking metals from Aventine Miniatures (and you know I fucking hate metals).

Any historicals manufacturer who isn't putting painted minis on the storefront is harming both sales and the hobby.

Holy shit, Victrix better be including painting guides with these lads, cos they look AMAZING.

I'm not gonna say it's sexier than the old mini I kept dreaming of (and failing to) getting, but damn.

One of those Infinity units that I want to get even if I'll never use.

The crosses mark the one time where the assaulting infantry all died BEFORE the APCs did.

Said APCs then bravely assaulted into the enemy hex and exploded.

APCs LOVE EXPLODING. IT'S THEIR FAVORITE THING.

It is absolutely LEGAL to have your recon units find an unsecured enemy flank and then HAVE THE RECON TAKE THE MAIN OBJECTIVE.

The struggle afterwards was a lot less tidy, but I still won at the end.

That jump from 36 to 52 in the red/enemy command cycle chronology is what we in the Flashpoint Campaigns industry refer to as "the enemy HQ ate some artillery"

Old Necromunda: you are scrappy shit gangers living in the sewers of a hive city.

Newcromunda: your gang can now field the guy who overthrew the governor and predates the Imperium.

...cool mini tho. Great for a Militia and Cults leader in HH.

Legions Imperialis still doesn't have:
*Breachers
*Despoilers
*Recons
*Destroyers
*Tartaros termies
*Assaults or Cataphracti outside the main sprue

Just out on a walk. Streaming a podcast via my vox-caster. Casually spraying bolt rounds at whatever's in front of me. Thriving.

The new proportions still look somewhat weird to the eye, but what a glow-up!

As much as I think that Nurgle is one of the most played out and boring of Chaos Gods, these guys are excellent, could see myself killing bunch of them, given the right game.

Shout out of the second company of the 3rd Battalion of the 83rd Independent Landing Assault Brigade.

Nearly the entire Belgian division went through their positions.

In any real-life scenario, the survivors would get The Order of Lenin Of Red Banner Of Outstanding Amounts Of PTSD.

When your main HQ and artillery batteries are firing at the enemy over open sights, something has gone terribly wrong.

Unless you're airborne, in which case, these things just happen.

FW: CW has Warsaw Pact mostly on the offensive.

However, paratroopers LOVE dropping into Heroic Last Stand scenarios, so here's the outcome of one. VDV drops on a German unit's line of supply, isolating it, so Belgians launch a charge of the light brigade.

So many dead Belgians!

Including a very rare case of a recoiless rifle crew showing ATGM teams how it's done in 1989

Why is the map so desatured? Well, the weather conditions are forcing my Poles to do a very high-stakes recreation of Jeżyk we mgle.
