Another month down, and more progress to show for it, and yep, there were more bugs. Because of course I painted more bugs!
1. Paint something bought before 2024
Starting with not bugs. I picked up these Vikings nigh on a year ago, and I'm not even sure what game I was planning to use them for. Regardless, when one of the locals suggested we played some Tribal, I took the opportunity to paint up a warband of Vikings ready to play the game.
The miniatures all come from Gripping Beast, and are finished off with the gorgeous shield decals from Little Big Man Studios. Also coincidentally, you can pick up the rules for Tribal from Potbelly Miniatures!
 |
| Warlord and Champion with flag |
 |
| First batch of Viking Warriors |
 |
| Second batch of Viking Warriors |
 |
| Third batch of Vikings, this time some Berzerkers! |
I also had a few small pieces of terrain, which will help have a cool looking table for the game too. These are all from Renedra Miniatures
 |
| Houses with scattered pots |
 |
| Many fences! |
I've already got a game of Tribal scheduled for May!
 |
| Another big bug, this time a Malceptor |
 |
| A big brain to cause big psychic damage! |
 |
| Little flying bugs- great for capturing objectives! |
 |
| Showing off the wings! |
 |
| It's a unit of ten, so this is the other five! |
I didn't just play one game of 40k this month, I played a whole tournament of it!
I took the Tyranids out to our club's Valleycon competition, playing five games over a weekend, and I had a blast! Visually, the Tyranids looked brilliant, and I got a number of really nice comments about them. In terms of their performance in the games, overall they won 3 lost 2, and the two I lost were really poor match ups for me, but I kept my player morale up, and didn't let them affect my enjoyment over the weekend- which was my goal.
I got far too engrossed with the games to take many photos, so here is just two!
 |
| An Ultramarine Repulsor getting eaten by a Psychophage.... pity about the Terminators inside it.... |
 |
| Maulerfiend doing mauling. Fiendishly. |
I'm really enjoying my 40k resurgence, I might need to find a different style to play for May tho!
4. Play a game of not-40k each month
I FINALLY got my 15mm ADLG Celt army out for a game, taking on a work in progress army of Successors.
The Celts.... did a lot of charging. And got some good dice. Including a very rude set of 6's when attacking with chariots into Elephants, which meant that I came out on top. Having spent so much time on them, it was great to get them out on the table and actually play a game with them. Given the rest of the crew has been really enjoying their ADLG, I feel like many more games are in my future!
 |
| Chariots vs Pike. The chariots EXPLODED. |
 |
| Medium Sword vs Cavalry however was more swingy.... |
And that's it. I know some of what May will bring (and yes, there will be more Bugs), but I'm sure there will be some suprises in there!
Pooch
