Lost in the trails of Heaven Forest NIGHTS

Heaven Forest NIGHTS is a philosophical bend on a VR walking simulator with a lot of thought but falls a bit short on heart.

Check out the review by @phoenixthepixie

Some pictures from my latest game of bolt action. Drew borrowed my DAK and faced off against my Imperial Japanese. Drew was having his second ever game so we played maximum attrition and used a number of the leaked v2 rules. We found they made a big difference to our order choice and targets. German machine guns were a big factor in taking down some of my units. I did manage to get an awesome charge off with my LT and banner man against the DAK Lt. The fight was brutal but my sword armed officer cut down Drew's. We had a blast and are looking forward to making it a regular thing to play with the Canberra Group. Drew picked up the Late War German army box he has been eyeing off for a while. I've been working on my Italians adding an L6/40 and M11/39 (both ridiculous silly hulls so I dearly love them) to expand to a two platoon force. My Soviets are also getting some love with another Guard Squad being assembled from my left over Wargames Factory kit. -Borris

ACT Team Yankee Slow Grow

So I have decided to take part in a slow grow and finally put my T-72s to use. The local events are really starting to take off since the release of West German book Leopard and the announcement of Iron Maiden the UK forces book.The problem is I have started buying things too late and some units are hard to find in Australia at the moment. This means I have had to adapt the list to what is still in stock, as such my only infantry is being transported in via Hinds. 

Soviet Red Banner Tank Division Tank Company, from Team Yankee, page 88 T-72 Tank Battalion HQ (p.89) - 1x T-72 (5 pts) T-72 Tank Company (p.90) - 5x T-72 (22 pts) - 3x Fit t-72 with Mine Clearing Devices (3 pts) T-72 Tank Company (p.90) - 5x T-72 (22 pts) - 3x Fit t-72 with Mine Clearing Devices (3 pts) T-72 Tank Company (p.90) - 6x T-72 (27 pts) - 3x Fit t-72 with Mine Clearing Devices (3 pts) SA-13 Gopher SAM Platoon (p.81) - 2x SA-13 Gopher (2 pts) 2S1 Carnation SP Howitzer Battery (p.95) - 3x 2S1 Carnation (5 pts) MI-24 Hind Assault Helicopter Company (p.97) - 2x MI-24 Hind (5 pts) - 2x AK-74 with RPG-18, 2x RPG-7 (2 pts) 99 Points, 6 Platoons

I am pretty happy with the list and when BMP box sets are back in stock I will have enough infantry left over to make a mechanised unit and add in an Artillery Observer BMP-1. I am also thinking of getting two boxes and adding in a BMP-2 Recon unit.

Thank you Seb!

I have been putting off writing this post as it was never something I thought I would have to do or ever wanted to do. It is however something that needed to be done sooner rather than later. 

I was informed by Seb today that he has decided to step down from Allies Index in order to focus on his Health. It was no secret that Seb is dealing with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Severe Anxiety. For those of you not familiar with this I would do no justice in trying to explain it here.

In short for the foreseeable future Seb will no longer be with us at Allies Index. 

Now I will be using the next few days to take stock of where we are at with Allies Index and will reach out to the others in regards of where we want to go from here. 

I apologies for the rambling in this post but in all honesty I am pretty shaken with this news as Seb has become one of my best friends over the last few years we have been doing this and have never imagined doing this without him. Not just Allies Index but hobby in general. 

Now I really don’t want this post to be to much of a downer and instead I want to take the time to thank Seb for his work over the last few years, helping to create content and grow Allies Index. 

Seb has been instrumental in the growth of Allies Index. From creating new content, helping others, even just sharing every post we made. Without him we would not be where we are today. 

It has been an amazing ride full of moments that defined Allies Index as we shared our geeky gaming experience with the world. Great times have been had by all...mostly at the expense of each other. 

We wish you all the best Seb in whatever life has for you next. We couldn't have done this without you!

Thank you.

Kill Team: Tyranids vs Blood Angels

Trapped within the Carion Sector the Blood Angels have made it their missions to eradicate any threat to the Imperium. For while they may be lost to their chapter they can still do the Emperors Work. 

While the Dark Angels and Eldar do battle over one of the many Frozen fortresses that dot the Frozen moon of Port Dargonmaw the Blood Angels have located a small Tyranid Threat. Wanting to remove the threat before it can take over the sector the Blood Angels deploy near the source of the Tyranid sightings. 

Little do they know its a trap. The Tyranids spring forth from the fortress pinning the blood angels out in the open where they put up a brave fight however a ultimately taken out one by one. A group of scouts offering fire support manages to escape the battle in order to report the Tyranid Threat to Port Dragonmaw. 

-

Wraith and Savage started round one with a bloody battle on the frozen moon map. Seeing the campaigns first casualties. At first it looked as if the nids would get destroyed as they continued to fail instinctive behavior tests. Once they got it together though the Blood Angels were overwhelmed by numbers.

Kill Team: Dark Eldar vs Dark Angels

In Round 1 the Dark Eldar and Dark Angels found them self fighting over territory on the Frozen moon of Port Dragonmaw. 

 The Dark Eldar managed to get off to a quick lead as the Dark Angel Bikers were not equipped for the frozen fortress they were fighting over. Meanwhile the Dark Eldar scourges had no issues zipping up and down the battlements. 

It seemed all but lost for the Dark Angels as the Dark Eldar pinned them down and started to swarm the buildings. 

Showing up right when needed the Dark Angel terminator teleported into the battlefield raining death upon the Dark Eldar scourges. 

As quickly as he had arrived he was gone. The Dark Eldar massed poison rounds downed the terminator. 

With the main threat eliminated the Dark Eldar secured their objectives and applied presure on the Dark Angel forces remaining. Unable to maintain the firefight the Dark Angels would have to concede this area to the Dark Eldar. 

-

A great game against Heartless and Seb. Seb did all he could to win but his bikes being unable to climb the walls of the building really hurt him.
