Unity Before Heresy

Hello Everyone Tylar here!  Things have been a bit quiet on the blog front but not in the UB4H Team background and hobby rooms.  It's mainly seen us all spending some well earned time with family over the recent bank holiday with a smattering of hobby in the back ground.  Having said that GG has progressed leaps and bounds with his Scars Project so we've added a little WIP of that here to keep you all eager for more. Myself I've been playing with the new Adeptus Titanicus Spires scenery kits and they are awesome.  I plan to post a terrain WIP in the following weeks so look out for that.  We're all looking at planning our Armies for the Greeting From The Warp event in October so again be sure to follow the progress of that here.  I've also been working on some new Warhound Titan bases using some GS moulded pieces from the AT Tiles I bought form Forgeworld and those little additions will be in the AT Terrain WIP so come back for more! Here are the sho...

Here on the blog it is our intention to, at some point, be able to play a campaign system which incorporates models of different scales all having an impact on each other - in order to really capture the epic nature of the Imperium at war. To that end we are forging ahead with writing rule sets for gaps in the current scale shift ranges - one of these key areas is games representing void war. The most common Warhammer 40000 void war themed game has to be Battlefleet Gothic. Now whilst the game hasn't been officially supported by Games Workshop for some 20 years there is a huge group of gamers out there who have kept the game alive through continuing to play outside of the continuous supply of new models and rules updates. Like the Horus Heresy it certainly isn't a 'dead' game system. This does mean that there is still a healthy supply of ships and other models out there, with some 3rd parties making models that are also suitable for use in the original rule set. ...

Evening everyone.  Another week has past and things are moving on in the Unityb4heresy camp. All of us have signed up for the Greetings From The Warp HH Weekend event in October.  Much to the lament of GG as the Rugby is on and we'll have to get blow by blow action between turns. 😜 Follow us here on the blog as we prepare our forces and play test some of our army elements in the lead up to the 3000pt epic weekend. This week I've had a low key dip into hobby as I've been busy with work.  It's going to be the same next week for me but I did get some more AT gaming in over the weekend breaking in a new player.  I still manged to start in on my AT spires.  Oh my what a great kit.  I'll be bringing together some pictures of my AT terrain in an upcoming post in another week or so. An idea of an upcoming project from me "Just call me Tank' This week King Fluff has been dividing his time between Orks of the 31st millennium and giant (tiny) rob...

John GG and King Fluff here again bringing you the highlights from Tabletop Banter’s Hopes Folly event. We both had a great time with Callum and Harry looking after us for the day. The atmosphere and hospitality was great and the laid back speed painting competition at lunchtime was a nice difference to the day. John GG - My first time table top banter run event and I was really looking forward to it. Turned out to be a fantastic event with great tables and terrain and a very chill atmosphere. The campaign/game intervention had an impact on the game but didn’t make it game breaking either. The narrative was simple with custom missions. A good exercise showing simplicity is sometimes best. My first game was against fellow UB4H’er King Fluff. A good game ending, rightly, in a draw. Previous to this game I never really rated the Grav Flux Bombard but after seeing it destroy almost a full unit of bikes I’m beginning to rethink my position. AP2 with no cover saves allowed really re...

Evening Everyone 😉 Busy week here in the UnityB4Heresy camp. With a majority of the Team at Hopes Folly and the meet up today not a great deal of additional hobby was completed. However we managed to get in some great gaming over the weekend and had a really good day today. King Fluff faced off against a friend of the blog in a match up based on the Hopes Folly format today with his Nightlords and Dark Mech army against Blood Angels.  Suffice to say the Emperor's loyal sons were victorious.  The Blood Angels carried the day in a furious fought victory with the Nightlords and their Dark allies unable to gain a foothold on any of the main objects before the Emperor's Angelic Red Sons swept the battlefield of the traitorous forces.  But a great game played on a great board at WHW. The forces of Tylar's Imperial Fists and John GGs White Scars faced off in a Zone Mortalis game that ended in a well fought win by the Chogorian Brotherhood.  Their destroye...

Hey everyone, John GG and King Fluff here with a little insight into the forces we intend to take to the Hopes Folly event at Boards & Swords in Derby hosted by Harry & Callum of Tabletop Banter. The premise of the event is for forces to consist mainly of infantry with a light covering of vehicle types. The last event in the series was lots of fun and we are both really looking forward to rolling dice (on both sides of the betrayal line)  KF - It's been a while since I played in an event weekend, having been busy running lots over the last year. I'm looking forward to standing on the other side of the table for a day. I tend to use events as a motivator for getting chunks of outstanding hobby done in order to chip away at my to do pile. For this event I chose to field the Night Lords legion, an army I've had on the back burner for a while due to both being seduced by the quickness of painting Custodes but also by the fact that the intended RoW I'd bought...
