BINGO! - Club Meeting 21 May 2017

Man oh man did we have some gaming going on! There was so much lead, plastic and resin you'd think someone was running a recycled gaming shop!

Our regular meetings have become an outstanding and diverse affair with all sorts of games being played all over the room. And this week was no exception!

So, do you wanna see what we did....? Of course you do.....pervert!

EPIC!

Itty-bitty IG and itty-bitty Daemon's battled over a landscape that looked reasonably untouched by an preparatory bombardments....

Gav's IG supported by a Titan took on the massed ranks of Magnus and his Tzeentch-crazed masses.

RHINOS.....RHIIIIIIIIINOOOOOOOOOOS!!!!!

So good!

NOOBROMUNDA (Shadow War)

Continuing with the GW love-in, Dave and I played a game of their newest release, Shadowwar Armageddon. We've coined this one as Noobromunda....

I brought a Kill Team of Dark Elves and Dave brought his Genestealer Hybrids.

This was seriously a heap of fun! The best moment of the game, I think was one of my Wytches clearing a 4" gap to charge into close combat...just need to roll a 4+ and.....

VICTORY! Well, in the close combat. Soon after, I failed a bottle test and my ladies ran away....

STAR WARS BINGO!

We had games of every single (with the exception of the LCG and RPG) FFG Star Wars game! Armada, X-Wing, Imperial Assault and Destiny all got played! PEW PEW!!!

Not 100% sure where those Star Destroyers are off to....

Guild Ball

Dave and Darren also managed to get a game of Guild Ball in. This was using the teams from the Kick Off starter set and I believe Dave won 12 - 8.

So, more toys, more club, more fun!!!

"Insert Witty Title" - Club Meeting - 7 May

Nothing gets a bunch of West Auckland gamers excited than waking up on a Sunday and knowing that it's a club day! You can head on in a grab some game time and just escape for a little while. And today was no exception with about 20 people hitting the tables for some toy soldier action. 6 systems were in action today.

Arena Rex

Gladiatorial Combat, wild animals and all!

Moments after this, Faizal's dudes went and hid....

Such a cool little game!


Test of Honour

Battling Samurai returned to TCOW today and because it's such a quick game, there was about 4 different rounds today. Cherry blossoms and all....

Kings of War

Massed battles in the Realm of Mantica! Today, Dave's Ogres took on Daryl's Dwarves.

Black Powder

Johnny Reb came a'wanderin', lookin' fer a fight!

Dystopian Wars

Glorious navies in some weird, steampunk future.....or past. UFO's as well!

Flames of War

New arrivals in the African Desert...

The bloody Italians won this round....but we'll get them next time!

And then, we played a good, wholesome family card game...

Such fun!

We're a 40k club now: Club Meeting - 23 April

Emprah be praised! Around 1am last night the warp storms cleared just long enough for the geniuses in Nottingham to get us a message bearing miraculous news. A new edition of Warhammer 40,000 is coming. An edition said to be the best edition of the game yet. One with not one, nor two, but THREE different ways to play the game. Plus the rules are free. True, there was no mention of the current price disparity in this corner of the world, but we're sure they'll address that soon.

On the back of this news, it has been decided that henceforth T.C.O.W. shall be renamed That 40k Club Out West (T.40k.C.O.W.). No other games will be played. It's all 40k, all the time now. This rule will kick in just as soon as somebody spends NZ$83 on the new 200 page Shadow War: Armageddon rulebook. So, yeah, not any time soon.

Anyway, back to your regularly scheduled club meeting update.

It was a bit of a quiet one this week. We're in the middle of the school holidays and I guess most were making the most of decent weather. I'm sure camping is fun and all, but they missed out on some great gaming.

We had a great selection of gaming going on. X-Wing, Malifaux, Test of Honour, and Kings of War. Ogres fought Undead, the Neverborn fought Gremlins, some X-Wings and a stolen TIE Fighter took on the Empire, and two groups of Samurai and their attendant Ashigaru had a big ol' scrap somewhere in Japan.

As I spent most of my time playing Test of Honour wishing my dice would roll better, I didn't actually get any photos or have a good look at what else was going on, but everyone appeared to be having a good time.

Oh, and I managed to be just sneaky enough to pull out a win in Test of Honour. Turns out all you need to take down a Samurai Hero is a sacrificial Samurai and enough arrows.

That's all for this week. We hope to see you at the club on 7 May. We'll see then if we're any closer to renaming the club.
