Of oil and iron. 15mm mech game.

This week featured a 500pt game of #warhammer40k - Tyranids Vs tau, with the tau taking the win. We also had our first couple of games of something new - Of Oil and Iron. We really enjoyed this game and it's nice ruleset (still in Beta form at the moment). #ofoilandiron #wargaming #burtonbanter

Sisters Vs chaos started slowly with 2 gunlines, until Abaddon and his terminators dropped in.

A very aggressive and fast paced game here with over half of each army dead by the end of turn 2.

This week has been all about #warhammer40k We had 2 large games - ultramarines Vs harlequins and black legion Vs sisters of battle. Both ended with wins for the imperium factions. We also had a couple 500pt games of space marines Vs Tyranids. #burtonbanter #wargaming

Tyranid warriors claim the central objective in the final turn, finishing off a terminator too.

A quiet one at the club this week; only had a couple of 500pt #warhammer40k games being played - ultramarines Vs Tyranids. Ended with 1 win apiece. #wargaming #burtonbanter

Turn 2 in the ultramarine Vs death watch game. A brutal game, with many poor dice rolls ended with a win for the blue space marines.

The Barons' war table. The scenario meant both retinues deployed close together, which meant a brutal first couple of turns.

More games this week. We had 1500pts of #warhammer40k. This time it was ultramarines Vs death watch. We also had Some Barons' war being played. #wargaming #baronswar #burtonbanter

The Tyranid horde advances across the table, with most of the space marines waiting in drop pods

Combat between some Tyranids and recently arrived ultramarines

Sternguard shoot a couple of monsters off the central objective. Ended with a very narrow victory for the ultramarines

This weeks' games included Barons' War and a 1500pt #warhammer40k game of Tyranids Vs ultramarines. There was also warm chocolate fudge cake and ice cream! #wargaming #baronswar #burtonbanter
