Counting Down to Tomb Kings

Now there was an army that I always wished was more widely played. Looks like I'm about to get my wish with the launch of a new Tomb Kings army book and a whole pile of shiny new figures too. Next Saturday (7th May) sees all the new kit hitting the shelves and as well as the book, Tomb Kings fans get three different boxes full of plastic goodness.

We're particularly loving the Khemrian Warsphinx models, the Necropolis Knights are great too. A new Tomb Guard rounds things off nicely. If you're tempted, you can find a great pre-order discount on the new Tomb Kings stuff on our Facebook page (so long as you're a fan). Enjoy!

Thursday Night - BSTS Warhammer Night

It was great to see the place packed last night, with both some new faces and old around. Hopefully it's a sign of things to come - a vibrant Thursday night makes everyone's gaming more interesting. Anyway, here's some of the highlights from last night:

At the top of the store, a horrifically combined army from two Tyranid players, truly frightening to behold still weren't quite enough to deal with a thirsty Blood Angels force. Next down Necrons found themselves confronted by rampaging Orks on a narrow board - never the best way to meet a Green Tide and found themselves phasing out before their Monolith could do much damage.

Only one Fantasy game played last night - it's been the other way round mostly of late - saw the Empire demolish an Orcs and Goblins army. Some gorgeous looking knights that you could still smell the paint from were on hand to complete the rout. There was also a great four player match up, featuring two Guard players joining forces to confront a Tau and 'Nid army. Whilst their big guns did damage while they lasted, the combination of some big 'Nids getting up clsoe and personal and the Tau firepower from the back was too much for them.

Lots and lots of fun. Hopefully we'll keep seeing these sort of numbers show up :)
