Xenos Rampant. Wargaming with Daleks, Ogrons and Morvellans.

 

Welcome to one version of the Dalek universe.

Special welcome to the Daleks FB page who have liked my "sneak" post!  There's a bit special for you below.

Thus this is a bit different than usual.  I started in primary school and watched the first outing.  I dreamt of a box with an army of Daleks inside.

Timeline and the players.

The Movellan plague saw individual Dalek units.  Some fled to distant planets and recreated the Skaro underground city.  Reverting to earlier forms of travel machine.

Others took to the depths of space, far from potential contamination.  For these smaller travel machines with extra manipulators and mag lev  fitted a life betwix the black void.

Sorry, I've got out of the blogging habit, had trouble with new phone & pics plus these were multi player and very, very fast games.

Ogrons!

We did this several times.  The unpredictability of the Ogrons was worth it!  In the first one they lost both support weapons but gained wild charge for the snail and leader.

Snail pet is forced back towards the Movellan walkers.


Walker vs Walker.  Despite the handicaps, they did better than expected.




Snail wild charges a turret!



Morvellans advance!  Note the representative of the press, who got exterminated!


Attacking Dalek command.


Daleks being forced back.


The wall has been destroyed by shaped charges and Daleks advance!


We made a mistake, a flying unit cannot be engaged by a ground unit.


This Dalek gunship is the most expensive single wargaming model I've bought so far, £24.95.  For some reason that pisses off the grandma wendy players?


Starting position.  Morvellans for a line to exploit openings forced by the Ogrons.



"Blow the doors off!"


Guards guarding.



Ogrons arrive!


"You looking at me?"


Rather than an end of board we tried this:


Tried this solution to flying.


Same set up, Ogrons turn up, Morvelland advance.


"Whose job was it to bring matches?" -  "Try knocking?"


Sitting Ogrons.


Dalek sortie captures leader--


Pet comes to the rescue.
