Killa Kans and the Game of Apocalypse that Never Was...

A couple weeks ago I decided to help Finnegan get some of his miniatures painted. I was experimenting with coloured primers and washes as well as the new Contrast paints from Games Workshop. I ended up knocking off one of his Killa Kans in a evening - while working on a number of other things as well - and thought "Well this is easy, I'll show him how I did this on one of the other ones, while he paints the third... and boom - the unit will be done!"

But I didn't get to that until a few weeks later...



Boom! Unit of Killa Kans complete... So, I basically ended up painting two of these for him, and he painted one... but, whatevs, they're done and we can play with them... (Can you guess which two I painted and which one Finnegan painted!?)

So I figured it was time we set up an Apocalypse game with his Orks!!

All last week we kept saying we should play a game. We finally got a game set up, maybe Thursday, but didn't end up having time that day.... or... Friday... and by Saturday, well, I needed to put everything away, because it was time to tear the big table apart and get on with the basement renovations...

I was going to play my Guaiacan Commandoes...

We'd set up ANOTHER pincer attack scenario - Finnegan had decided on it. Since I had more Power Level and was attacking, he thought it would be interesting if the Guaiacan Commandoes had surrounded a group or Orks in the jungle and moved in to annihilate them...

All tha Orks!

Who is THIS lurking in the jungle!?

I was pretty disappointed that we didn't get to play it out... Ah, well... on to other things. Hopefully we'll set this up again in the fall when the renos are done and play it out!!


Coming Soon to Tim's Miniature Wargaming Blog:

All sorts of stuff on the workbench these days... Necromunda, Eldar, Imperial Guard, Knights, etc...

Could be any of those...
