@moonhoppergames.bsky.social have some great basing materials and textured paints. These WIP bases used some of their products and now I will need to order some more 🙂 #wip #wargaming #paintingminiatures

Basing stuff used on these - Barrowclumps on all of them to give rocky texture, then Quagmire Brown on the mustard coloured models and Ruin Rust on the pink/black models.

This week was all about stompy robots...we had some #warhammer40k with knights Vs chaos knights, and another game of Of oil and iron. #wargaming #burtonbanter #ofoilandiron #warhammer

First turn of the of oil and iron battle, with one player deployed in the centre of the board, defending the ruined city.

Turn 2 of the battle, was a very brutal turn, with lots for all the rigs in the game. The game ended with a win for the defenders in the centre.

All about GW this week - we had a game of Horus Heresy and games of 11th edition #warhammer40k; including emperor's children Vs orks and Tyranids Vs ultramarines. #burtonbanter #wargaming #warhammer

Ultramarines fight off a Tyranid advance in this game, winning convincingly. (Apologies for the slightly blurry photo)

We had some more 500pt games of #warhammer40k this week, including tau Vs Tyranids and tau Vs ultramarines. With the tau suffering defeats in both games, the overaggressive deployment of the ghostkeel not helping both times #wargaming #burtonbanter #warhammer

Burton Banter & War tabletop gaming @banterburton.bsky.social · 01/05/2026

It's been a busy couple of weeks here - with lots of #warhammer40k being played, both smaller 500pt games, and larger battles. There's also been plenty of Barons' war, which is quickly becoming a favourite here. #wargaming #burtonbanter #baronswar #wargamesatlantic #warhammer

Ultramarines battle world eaters in a 500pt game

1500pts of eldar Vs Tyranids. A very close game, coming down to the final turn and ending with a 70-64 win for the space elves.

Barons war. Had fun playing a 3 way battle, ended as a big melee in the centre of the board. We used the green strips as roads this time (we're working on more terrain for this game)

Burton Banter & War tabletop gaming @banterburton.bsky.social · 27/03/2026

This week has been all about #warhammer40k We had 2 large games - ultramarines Vs harlequins and black legion Vs sisters of battle. Both ended with wins for the imperium factions. We also had a couple 500pt games of space marines Vs Tyranids. #burtonbanter #wargaming

Sisters Vs chaos started slowly with 2 gunlines, until Abaddon and his terminators dropped in.

A very aggressive and fast paced game here with over half of each army dead by the end of turn 2.

Burton Banter & War tabletop gaming @banterburton.bsky.social · 20/02/2026

A quiet one at the club this week; only had a couple of 500pt #warhammer40k games being played - ultramarines Vs Tyranids. Ended with 1 win apiece. #wargaming #burtonbanter

More games this week. We had 1500pts of #warhammer40k. This time it was ultramarines Vs death watch. We also had Some Barons' war being played. #wargaming #baronswar #burtonbanter

Turn 2 in the ultramarine Vs death watch game. A brutal game, with many poor dice rolls ended with a win for the blue space marines.

The Barons' war table. The scenario meant both retinues deployed close together, which meant a brutal first couple of turns.

This week was all #warhammer40k - we had games running at 500pts. This week was space marines Vs deathwatch, and ultramarines Vs Tyranids. Everyone seems to be enjoying these smaller-sized games #wargaming #burtonbanter
