I'll definitely be playing more 2nd ed in the future and hopefully we'll be playing a similar scenario later this year with my buddy who wasn't able to make BOYL, although this time I'll be controlling the bugs!<br /><br />See you down there next year - it's well worth the trip!Thantsantshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06902730729032525538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-341832496341749426.post-44698378343549891262017-08-30T13:09:08.177-07:002017-08-30T13:09:08.177-07:00A fun report.

One can only hope that the fleet fares better and that someday someone will avenge the fallen. Wait, were you playing the bugs? Oh, very good then! Looks like it was a great game. :)<br /><br />Yes, that last day of gaming at a good convention does always seem a bit more relaxed. But at the same time, if everyone has fun and enjoys their tea (or coffee) then all's well as ends well. I really need to make a better effort to get to this thing.

The Tyranids are my mate Nik's and very nice they are too. I'm not that familiar with the newer models to have spotted the conversions you mention but I do love the colour scheme - based on the Xenomorphs from the Alien films I believe. Maybe I should have been referencing that franchise in my report rather than Starship Troopers!<br /><br />The Executioners are an old favourite of mine - I still toy from time to time with the idea of gaming the Badab Wars in 6mm...

The Tyranid force in particular has a cool paint scheme and conversions from what I can see, and always a pleasure to sight the rare Executioners on the field.Ragstahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17562873970177545295noreply@blogger.com
