Played my last games of 9th edition versus Zack’s Space Wolves, and first two games of 10th edition against Mark’s Necrons and Ray’s Tyranids. All three were Crusade games while I was toying around with Drukhari and Ynnari (Aeldari). I think I’m going to refocus on another force for a bit after seeing how the start to 10th edition is going, so no story updates sadly–but a few pictures from the games and a painting update!
Drukhari vs Space Wolves!


Tried a massed infantry force which was a lot of fun.

Look at those great Space Wolves!

Next game was vs Necrons. First of 10th edition. Again, trying the massed foot soldiers approach to Drukhari.


Necron Warriors are a slog.
Great-looking clash with cool Necron conversions.

Third game was vs Tyranids. The Wraithknight with Farseer supporting it is as ridiculous as everyone is saying. Deleted whole units with mortal wounds (got one lucky roll where I did 6d6 mortal wounds to a unit… poof).


Yvraine did not have what it took to stand up to a Broodlord.


Painting Progress
I’ve painted so much lately I’m going to just do a whirlwind review of it all to simply get it posted! First up, my eldritch horror Court of the Archon:

Test Dark Reaper:
And Panther for Battletech:
Army Painted Totals
40k Aeldari (Primarily Drukhari but also Asuryani, Ynnari, and Harlequins): 4,180 points in 10th edition
Aeronautica Imperialis Aeldari: 373 points
Battletech Draconis Combine: Commando, Panther
Battletech Clan Jade Falcon: Timber Wolf, Mongrel, Adder, Dire Wolf, Elementals (x1), Locust










Great job on the painting! That’s better than just “table top ready!” Keep up the good & inspiring work!

BTW, I’d like to get involved with the campaign that recently started. How can I do that, and what point level of army should I be ready to field (assuming participation is still open)?

Hi Mike. You’re more than welcome to get involved. Participation is still open. I think folks are starting at 1,000 points with the new edition, and you can swing by Drawbridge Games on a Thursday night sometime and we can play a game and get connected. Let me know when you’re headed there so I’d know to be there. And if Thursdays aren’t good we can connect a different day. Cheers!

Oof. I’m newly back into this and am not quite at 1000 points. I’ll get there, then see where things are at then. If I can’t join the campaign, maybe I can still get a random game in. 🙂 Thanks much!

Mike, not a worry if you’re below 1000 either. I think most people are willing to play wherever someone is at. Drawbridge is a pretty chill store. We’re all seeking just to have fun and meet new folks. Come say hello sometime!
