Shadow War: Armaggedon: Preseason and intro fiction for our store league.



With the release of Shadow War Armageddon, Games Workshops throw back to Necromunda, a whole lot of excitement has perked up at Drawbridge Games.  The store campaign starts at the end of the month and a number of us are getting practice games in to learn the rules before hand. I also tried my hand at making some hive style structures to give to the store.


Finally having an excuse to grab some cool looking Necron’s, I grabbed an Immortal box and got them all finished up in a single night last week. I’ve also pulled a number of old games workshop models out of moth balls and intend to get an Ork kill team painted up as well.  But for the first store league I’ll be going with the Necrons.


The future format of the posts will have a short fiction write up as well as some shots from the games to give a fun narrative to the campaign.

Journeyman Jan. 2017

In an effort to bring in newer players I helped convince our local press ganger we should start off 2017 with a new journeyman league.  I thought it would it would give an opportunity to players who had purchased or received battle boxes over Christmas a chance to hop into our local meta.  Most of the local guys are starting with just new casters and playing the battle box with factions they already have but I decided to knock out the Skorne I had gotten with the two player Hordes box I had purchased to start my Trollbloods. I’m having no trouble painting the Trollbloods but I was afraid that the Skorne would sit on the shelf much like my circle has.  With this league I can knock them out and have a 75 point list completed and then happily move onto the Trolls. Why two Hordes factions all of a sudden?  Honestly I’ve been a bit frustrated with Cryx in its current incarnation and have been a bit overly affected by the Privateer Press forums doom and gloom.  I ...
