Warhammer 40K Scenario: Turkey Shoot



The second of my paid posts is now on Patreon. It's only available to Patrons on my Patreon page, so drop in a few pennies now! Not only will you be able to see the scenario in full, but you'll also be supporting a poor teacher promote his hobby within his school.

It's another solo scenario, that I personally use to test how durable my army is, whilst still seeing if it's speed can make up for it.

Here's a little taste of the scenario:

A variation on the first one, this is to help students understand the run rules, and defensive tactics in Warhammer 40K. It's flexible to other game systems, but those tweaks will rely on your own knowledge of the defensive rules.
The idea is that the players army is continually under fire, forcing you to make use of cover and run moves to get your army out alive. It's a neat little scenario to let you know how good your army is at absorbing firepower, whilst still balancing against the speed of your army in avoiding it.
Scenario:
All is quiet on your patrol. You lead your small group of soldiers through enemy territory, but perhaps not as stealthily as you should have done. Your orders are simple: engage what you can, but retreat if enemy forces are too strong.
So far nothing has happened, and you're actually on your way back to base. Although you were apprehensive at first, it looks as though your earlier blundering through the wilderness didn't alert the enemy.
At least until your forward scout fell in front of you riddled with bullets...
Explosions and shrapnel fly around you, and the sudden percussion of small arms starts deafening your ears.
It's an ambush!
Until next time!

Thanks for reading.

Primaris Space Marine Paint Planner

The good chaps over at Games Workshop marketing have just released a bit of fluff on the Ultima Founding, the latest crop of Space Marine chapters. These are all based around the Primaris Space Marines, so expect your current Marines to fade away. Again, not a bad thing, as it's just a shift to True Scale Space Marines that still lets you play with your old stuff whilst you transition. To help you buy their new models, Games Workshop have also given you a nifty line drawing of a Primaris Space Marine, so you can plan your new Chapter. Now I'm certain they didn't intend to add all those little gaps in the lines making it hard for you to use simple drawing editors to plan your marines on computer, nor did they realise how difficult it would be to do so on .pdf format. So I fixed it for them. Here's the same thing with the gaps filled in, and in easy to edit .jpeg format. Don't worry Gee Dubs... Tabletop Teacher's got your back! UPDATE: The .jpeg was...

The Complete Blood Angels Beginner Guide: Troops

Image
Love them or hate them, you're not building an effective army without them. Your rank and file are the soul and centre of your army, and as such, these will be the only one's I will discuss in detail in the Beginner Guide... otherwise we'll be here until The End Times. At the end of the discussion, I will give you my opinion as to which Troop unit to try first. It should also be said, that if you don't like a faction's Troop options, you probably shouldn't collect that faction. You will have more of these units than anything else in a balanced force, so you will need to be happy seeing them all the time. Image from Warhammer Community I've bought the codex, and have done some hefty reading. The Blood Angels have three options available to them for Troops; Tactical Squads, Intercessor Squads and Scout squads. Many have preferences for each one, but there is no dud unit to be had here. They may not be as exciting as other factions, but each is very...

Painting Guide: Blood Angels, perfecting the colour scheme

Image
Looking for some tips on getting the best out of your Sons of Sanguinius? Want some simple ways of making your Blood Angels look good without having to get an art diploma first? Well let's get started then, and show you how to paint this Blood Angels Intercessor Space Marine. Blood Angels were one of my first armies in 40K, and a favourite of many a neophyte and veteran alike. Their red colour scheme, along with Dark Angels Green and Ultramarines Blue, is one of the standard newbie palettes that can look good with only a little bit of skill. Like the others in that little triumvirate, it still has ways you can tweak it to be really great looking on table top. What I've done here is nothing more than the standard Games Workshop recommended paint scheme, with some tweaks and tips to get to that 'eavy metal stage. I often see people copying what comes out of the Citadel Paint App or Duncan's videos, and never quite getting these results (usually darker withou...
