August Games

We played games in August.. Here is what we got up to... (Mostly Age of Sigmar and related games!?)


Wednesday, 6 August 2025

I got in two games of Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Spearhead with Orion this afternoon. 

First I played the brand new Fangs of the Blood God against her Soulblight Gravelords Bloodcrave Hunt force... and lost... 

You can read about it here:

Spearhead: Dogs and Bones in the Realm of Death

She still had time when we were done so we set up another game. I tried another game with the Fangs of the Blood God and she borrowed my Hedonites of Slaanesh - Blades of the Lurid Dream army... and beat down the dogs again! (It was nice to see the Hedonites win a game, tho!) 

You can read about that one here:

Tuesday, 12 August 2025

we finally got in a game of Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Soulbound - after making characters three weeks ago (though no one is playing soulbound characters)!

Nick is playing Lady Esmerelda (She/her) Vampire Lord. Orion is playing Sir Raven the Dour (They/them) Blood Knight, Finnegan is playing Sir Renmould of Sylum Field (the/them) Grave Guard. Amanda just made up a Spirit Torment character, but doesn't yet have a name... maybe it forgot it's name...

I did not get in any games of Spearhead this week... 


Tuesday, 19 August 2025

The following Tuesday, the adventure continued... The group, now in Ghyran - the Realm of Life, had NO IDEA how to get to the next realmgate that would hopefully take them back to Shyish - the Realm of Death! They found a path and decided to follow it, hoping it would either take them to the next realmgate, or to some community where they might find out which way they needed to travel to find the next realmgate!

Friday, 22 August 2025

Orion stopped by Friday evening and we got in another game of Spearhead. I tried out my freshly painted Stormcast Eternals Vigilant Brotherhood. You can read all about it here:

Spearhead - Anvils of Heldenhammer Vigilant Brotherhood versus Soulblight Gravelords in Shyish 


Friday, 29 August 2025

Friday morning I rolled out to the Warhammer Store and played a quick game of Age of Sigmar: Spearhead with John. You can read about that disaster here:

Spearhead - Fangs of the Blood God Fight Ironjawz in Ghyran!

Later in the evening, I finally got AMANDA to sit down and try a game!!

She tried out the Sylvaneth Bitterbark Copse and I stuck with the Fangs of the Blood God, as they were relatively fresh in my head... we ended up only getting through the first turn or round one!?


Saturday, 30 August 2025

Saturday we finished the game we'd started the previous evening. Originally we'd planned to play Spearhead on the Friday evening and a full game of regular Age of Sigmar Saturday afternoon... instead, the Spearhead game took most of the day!?

You can read about the battle here: 

Spearhead - Fangs of the Blood God Mark Trees in Ghyran

She did say she'd play again. Hopefully I can convince her to do so BEFORE she forgets ALL of the rules and we have to start from square one again... 


Sunday, 31 August 2025

Sunday... 

Originally we were supposed to play a Role-Playing-Game session on Tuesday (26 August)... but something came up...? Then Orion got a new job and all Tuesdays were out and the only day that would work was Sundays... but only every THIRD Sunday, maybe... but THIS Sunday was supposed to work... but then Orion and Nick ended up all being sick... 

So Amanda and I played another game of Spearhead! 

Amanda played the Sylvaneth again and I dug out to try the Hedonites of Slaanesh for the first time since the rules update... and folks... I won a game of Spearhead! the first one in SIXTEEN games I've played... it did feel a little cheap beating Amanda, this only being her second game... 

I'll probably have a game report up sometime tomorrow... 


What games did YOU get up to this past month!?
