Keeping busy during these difficult days.

We, like many others, have been through a period of self isolation, with a number of us exhibiting high temperature. Luckily none of use seem to have been too affected and it appears that it may we'll have been due to something other than Coronavirus but I suppose we won't know any time soon. Anyway, that's not the point of the post, this is;


Yep, I've been playing  a few games with the youngsters. I don't remember exactly how may games we've started, as I quite often have to bail halfway through due to one reason or another (usually the littlest one waking up from his nap). Some of these games have been really very good games, such as the one where 4 chaos Marines and 6 cultists took on 3 terminators and a marine, which ended with the last chaos marine managing to take out the last terminator and another game, with my blood angles (below) against Militarum Tempestus Scions, with that too going down to the wire and one marine being left on the field once all the dice had been rolled. This would have been very different if the power fist equipped Tempestor hadn't  fluffed all his attacks.


Some of the games got a little bit over the top, with huge numbers of troops, heavy weapons and a ridiculous number of dice rolls!

Strength in depth!

Front rank, fire!

These games often only got a turn or two in before boredom set in and things got very silly or the plot was lost but it kept us occupied for a few minutes.

We're just two weeks in to what could be a very long period, in my opinion we're going to be like this until the kids go back to school  in August! I suspect that there will be many more games played yet!
