Ugly Fantasy 4.2.12

Some of the ugliest (but coolest) figures from GW you can get, on show at the club last week controlled by a couple of connoisseurs of Warhammer Fantasy.

 

 Jonathan and Stuart fought out this impressive Warhammer Fantasy battle. Jonathan fielded his Skaven and Stu his Demons.

  

 Good to see so many figures in the progress of being painted from both players!

     

 Since I last seen this army of demons Stuart has finished off these ugly sisters. Stuart side he once dated a lass who looked exactly like the sister on the right (although with smaller feet).

   

What an abomination this creature is! Will look great painted!!!

The Ugly Club 10.9.11

I managed to make it down to the club this week for the 1st time in a very, very long time and it was good to see a reasonable turn out at the club (12).
     

This was 1 of 3 games on the go on Saturday (Skaven and Ogres I believe?).

    

1 of the Skavens magical death bringing machines

    

Stewart and Jonathan set up a nice looking battlefield with plenty of cool looking beasts plus what looks to be lots of future painting for J!

    

Yet another of the Skaven killing machines.

    

Not sure what the cards are for in the game? Is this a new thing guys?

    

This has to be a contender for the ugliest Warhammer Fantasy beast I have ever seen! It reminds me of something from a James Herbert book I read as a kid. Can't wait to see this baby painted!!!

Giants 16.4.11

More pics of grown men playing with their little toys! ;-)

JP and Stuart fought out a Warhammer Fantasy battle a few weeks ago and I forgot I had taken these.

My shift pattern changes on 14th May so this will pretty much be my last post as I will only have every 3rd Saturday off and I no doubt will be spending that with the good lady.

Again if anyone wants to send me pics of some club games get snapping.

Stuart will be contact most people with what is on the go each week.

Warhammer Fantasy 15.1.11

The Marshall announced last week that he thought it was about time he tried a Warhammer Fantasy battle again, just to see how the rules had changed over the years and the effect they would have on his Empire army.

I remembered him mentioning that he had played it a great deal when his son and heir was still a lad but I thought all the stuff was well gone.

So in comes JM with a really excellent looking Empire army (is that right?). I have always been a sucker for knights and crossbows etc and these are really cool.

Young Jonathan fielded his High Elves for the encounter and it would appear the years have not been kind to the Empire army.

Look at these, they are absolutely lovely.

It's always good to see what people have hidden away in their cupboards and lofts!

Even young Martin had a go. The Marshall pre-warned me that he didn't want to see that his lad was a much better player than him plastered over the club blog! (as if I would!). However what I will say is he is much jammier than his dad!!! Obviously he is still on that youthful crest of a wave when every other roll is a 6!

My favourite in the army. I have no idea who this guy is but he looks really cool. So the Marshall recons he would need a dragon and some other magical type things (not really sure as I have no idea on fantasy) for it to stand any chance against the armies doing the rounds at the moment.

So by my reckoning we now have 6 Fantasy Warhammer players around the club with a good few armies and at least 1 more getting put together. The Bugster and Jonathan have High Elves (and Jonathan has started Skaven?), Stuart has Daemons (and I think Tomb Skeleton type guys), JP has Vampire counts (and Chaos?) and the Marshall has these guys. I think the club also has an Ogre/Orc army? So quite a collection all in!

Dark Fantasy 8.1.11

Stuart and JP dusted down their armies (and spell book, you know sometimes I'm sitting at the club and I tune into the guys playing Fantasy and I think I'm on another planet!) and went for a game of Fantasy for the day. Sorry about the photo quality, I'll have to try and remember my settings all over again!

Another 1st showing for the club blog. JP brought his (chaos?) army out of mothballs and set out to defeat Stuarts Daemon masses.

Now these look something special. I do believe the evil figures for the Warhammer Fantasy armies are the coolest of them all.

Evil looking minotaur things.

I was a little cautious approaching this lady as she looks a lot like an ex-girlfriend of mine! (that's why the photo is out of focus) This is a new figure Stuart finished off for his daemon army.


Stuart your figure painting and army is looking the business!

From this picture you would think that JP's chaos army was beginning to get the better of Stuarts red devils but not so. In the end it was a victory for the army from hell. I believe this was JP's 1st foray into Fantasy for a good while.

Great to see Jamie D made it down to the club Saturday and looks to be catching the wargaming bug again.
Hope to see you down again soon Jamie!

Fantasy 11.12.10

And finally Jonathan's High Elves.

Stretching right across the table.

For justice and freedom and the safety of all that's good in the world.

Against the might of Stuarts evil hordes.

Crazy looking winged things!

Burny hot looking orangy red things! (and some weird looking pink things with loads of eyes!)

The 2 armies faced up (I am sure some of those white cloaks may well have turned just a little bit chocolate coloured at this point?).

The forces of good stand their ground as the evil troops eat away at them.

I think in the end the forces of good won the day but there is always next week!!!



So that's the last of the updates from last Saturday. This Saturday coming will be the last club day before the Festive break so hopefully we will have a good turn out.

Fantasy close ups

Some close ips of the Demon and Hi Elf figures from Stuart and Jonathan.

Stuarts slowly working his way through a pretti impressive demon army.

These pink dudes have got to be some of his best work so far finished off with the lava bases.

And Jonathan is working his way through a High Elf army (as well as a Skaven force!).

A couple of the main characters in the force

Not exactly sure who they are but they are nice!

Fantasy 9.10.10

Jonathan and Charles managed to get 2 games on the go on Saturday!!

Jonathan brought along his High Elves

And Charles fielded his Chaos army (is that right)


I think the Chaos army is 1 of the coolest produced by the Dark Lords at GW

Evil Chaos champion type guy.

The evil horde advances.

Jonathans high elf nights charging into action.

These are the guys who impress me the most in the chaos figure range. The amount of detail in them is incredible (again sorry about the burned out low res picture).

The chaos bring forward the ugliest monster in the land.

A view from behind the massed ranks of evil.

And the full battlefield.

Loads of nice figures on show!
