It’s a classic match up as the stoic Imperial Fists led by Bard seek to deny the foul works of Beard and the Iron Warriors in this brutal close quarters Boarding Action game!

Loved this game so much. Shows how great boarding action is!

Would love to see some Harlequin Shenanigans going off on such a small scale!

AoO: Farsight has rules and missions for 2 vs 2 and 3 and 4 player All vs All. Aeldari, Drukhari, IG, and Tau in an All vs. All would be amazing. With all his free time, I hereby decree Beard should create an Ark of Omen Narrative Boarding Patrol Campaign with as many multiplayer games as you guys can fit in. Aeldari (or Tyranids) – Jinx Drukhari, or Orks – Ah, Ah, Ah! IG – Castellan Bard Tau – Faceman Fletcher Chaos Cultists Army or Squats – Beard Ad Mech – Stig Necrons (or GSC) – Chef Leave the Elites… Read more »

Im really interested in seeing how Tau can perform in a board patrol game as it nearly always ends up in combat with little area to manoeuvre around. With farsight, i guess he can carry the mele to a certain extent. I’ve tried to make a few lists without using kroot as I don’t have any just about 3k points of tau. I’d love to see what you guys come up with for an effective Tau boarder patrol game. Im guessing fletcher will use some kroot, a long side farsight, and some crisis. For Tau, you can’t take the onogar… Read more »

Would love to see some of the new Aeldari rules in action, I think from the Farsight book? Get Chef to run some harlequins on a mission to stop some ork warboss or brutish monkeigh!

Crimson Fists vs Orks would be a good one

Not sure how the copying works but at the end there, I’m pretty sure Beard could have gotten 90 points:
Identify – 30
1 Unit with copy – 30
2 Units with copy – 30
So if Beard would have gotten those by end of 5th battle round, he could have won and Bard would have been on 80 points as the data would have been found on 5th battle round.

Beard, would you do me the honour of explaining the mark of nurgle in laymen’s terms. My buddy has read the rule differently to myself and we need a respected (chaotic…) mediator!!

Excellent game, you two playing is the pinnacle of entertainment!

That was a ton of fun. Bard and Beard always have fantastic boarding action games.

For grudge matches, could we get Custodes vs. Black Legion, for a shout out to the Watchers of the Throne books? I’d love to see some Allarus Terminators and Witchseekers doing battle aboard a hulk

Great game! Fitting for the Iron Warriors to do the killing in their rage against the Fists, but the Imperial Fists hold on with sacrifice and duty! Vashtorr Mission rules did feel a bit anticlimatic, would have liked to see it go that one extra turn and see if the Fists could hold of the coming onslaught, the premise is super cool though with it being hidden, just wish the attacker got a bit more chance to score in a late round, even if it would require more of a climb/luck. Narratively it worked out great though! Absolutely love the… Read more »

Suggestions – As a followe of Grandfather nurgle, here are some death guard rivalry suggestions.

DG Vs Grey Knights (The revenge for Mortarion’s Heart)

DG Vs Ultramarines (Spite of the Plague Wars)

DG Vs Thousand Sons (Rivalry of the Gods)

Loved the game, god I can’t wait to play boarding action myself.

Brilliant report as always. And your camera work with the extra shot scenes were just perfect 🙂
Boarding action armies are just too tempting to not get some little projects on the side and seeing these reports is really inspiring.

I hope we are going to see a 13th company appearing out of the warp to take on some Thousand ‘I did nothing wrong’ Sons or just plain daemons.

Great game, I love boarding action! For a rivals boarding action game, you could do the classic Space Hulk matchup. Blood Angels Terminators vs. Tyranid Genestealers?
