We played a 'Whispers in the Dark' scenario (inspired by In The Emperor's Name! campaign supplement) where each faction was attempting to escort the same informant off the board whilst trying to stop their opponent from doing the same.
Our Forces were pretty evenly matched points-wise with Luke's being an Imperial Guard and mine kind of Genestealer Cult inspired. A cunning move by me saw my hero/leader dash out, grab the informant then use the rest of the force to screen whilst he made off with the prize. All too late Luke realised the error of his ways and despite a heroic attempt by his Commissioner, he wasn't able to turn the table.
Highlights of the night? Probably in the closing turn of the game when the Commissioner intercepted my leader only to have be thrown back into a cooling tower thanks to my leader's Power Glove. If we played it again I'd likely redo the terrain some - we inadvertently created something of a no-mans land which didn't help Luke's cause any. Also, I forgot to use/employ my Psyker powers... well there's always the next game. Then again the game took about an hour and we even had time for a quick last-man standing-type affair before we had to call it a night. No complaints, it was a good time.
Interested in trying it yourself some time? Here's the link to the army lists we employed.
As for the next game(s) I'm currently painting some Chaos Cultist and Space Marines, so the possibilities are endless :-)
I've tried some different techniques on this batch of miniatures including base coating with black then applying a 45-degree angled, overhead white spray prior to a wash. Only then hitting detail and maybe finishing up with further washes and dry brushing.
I'm quite liking the result (maybe not my colour choices so much) and enjoying the whole experience. With the stock of mini's I've built up during 2017 I've got plenty of opportunities to hone my skills further during 2018 👍
