This time 1.5k of my guys against the same amount of Chaos Space Marines. It was at GW Glasgow against Graeme on Thursday evening on a pokey wee 4ft square board. Annihilation mission with a Pitched Battle deployment.

Two weeks ago today I had my first game of Warhammer 40k in about 17 (ish) years. And it was glorious. Ah, the small joys of moving metal and plastic men across a make-believe war zone. Futuristic men though. In space armour. That makes all the difference.

Tonight we set up the wee table, I cobbled together two small armies of futuristic metal (and plastic) soldiers, and we went over some of the rules. The idea is to spread the learning curve over several days and to use units that are pretty straightforward to play.
Tomorrow, hopefully, brings the game itself!
