When Smurfs Attack

Illuminati Champion Vorsprung Teknik led a Kill Team sweep through the ruins of an old battlefield and cult centre, looking for sport and slaves. He placed his chaos marines in a line with orders to comb through the ruins with a bike on each wing to run around the structures to cut off any retreat.

However, Sgt Shaun of the Ultramarines had two squads of assault marines with jump packs ready to ambush the Illuminati. And so the stage was set for an epic clash of good versus evil, true blue versus puky purple, loyalists versus traitors .... continue until word count target achieved.


I have placed the casualties in a line on the right. Things have not gone so well for the Illuminati. The high mobility of the smurfs allowed them to defeat my forces in detail, first the bikes, then the infantry.


By the end of the fourth turn the Illuminati were down to Teknik and one bod. At that point they made a strategic advance to the rear and abondened the field to the Ultramarines - accursed Smurfs.

Congratulations to Shaun who outplayed me.

There will be a rematch, shake fist, utter foul chaos oaths etc.

Hit for Six

England has not been having too great a season for sports involving balls, with the exception of cricket. I bought this model from Hasslefree to celebrate beating Australia.

Space Opera Anime Girls

More Space Opera Minis - the Anime Girls with ludicrously oversized weapons.

The team leader (second from right) is from Meow Miniatures and the rest from Fenryll. OK, I know they do not completely fit the Retro Pulp Fiction theme but, hey, I liked them. I am nothing if not inconsistent.

They do follow the Pulp Fiction theme of having large chests - you know, I am sure this must be a Space Corps Directive.

Once again they are mounted on Black Cat bases.

Illuminati Rockers

I spent an irreverent youth as a Mod, complete with Lambretta SX150 equipped with spare wheel, six mirrors, tinted screen, three spotlights, sprung back rest, yellow go-faster stripes. whip ariels etc, etc. I used to ride it kneeling down and leaning backwards as that was cool, as was my parka with rabbit fur collar.

I have retained a sneaking love of two wheels ever since. Enter my Illuminati Rockers. Again, these were an eBay bargain that I have repainted and tweaked. We have the leader with power fist, well giant claw, a chap with a melta, and an ordinary bod. I envisage them streaking across the battlefield on turbo-boost, giving an Inv. 3+ save as I recall, and going tank hunting.

While on the subject of Orks....

Every other Evil Alien race has laid waste to london so why should Orks be any different?

Mordian 7ths Evil Suns.

Mordian 7th has put up a new post showing his Evil Sunz Nob Biker Mob.

Go visit, they are well worth a look at the close ups. The paint job is immaculate, and must have taken ages.

Twelve Months

I have been monitoring the use of this site by Google Analytics for about a year now. In that time, 35,000 uniqe 'users' have visited the site and looked at 140,000 pages.

Around half these 'people' are one-off visitors so there are perhaps 15,000 repeat visitors.

Thank you all for your interest.
