Quar Bash!

 

Hi there, I got a question for you:

What do you call a post that has SOME painted Quar and SOME Quar gaming and argues that Quar gaming is cool? 

A Quarrelsome Post.

....

Yeah, I know it wasn't funny.  But in the strongest tradition of Dad Jokes, it doesn't need to be funny.

Some Painted Quar

To make it up to you I now present a SmorgasQuar of painted miniatures.  Or should that be a Quargasbord?  Either way, that joke is wearing thin and still not funny.

First up we have a Quar civilian: the mechanic.
Proving that even in the Quar world; all overalls are blue.

With him are 2 pygmy elephant looking creature things.
Those are for the eventual farm that I shall be doing.

Next up we have some Crusader Trench Raiders.

These guys have special rules that make them especially good at being sneaky and clobbering the enemy at close range.

For too long the enemy has felt safe in his trenches.
Knowing full well that the raiders were not present.
The enemy has grown slow and complacent.
Now is the time to strike.

As ever I'm showing close ups of the miniatures so that you can actually see them, not because the painting is any good.

Not to be outdone, Next up is a pair of Royalist Trench Raiders.

Which are cooler than the crusader ones because these guys
have an awesome metal mask.

Because a metal mask is totally a sensible thing to wear while sneaking around in the dark...

And speaking of sensible head gear, my latest faction joins the ranks of the painted.  These are the Rhyflers that hail from the land of Gwynt. 

And as you can see these dudes are all wearing Bicorn Hats. 

Which is Hi-lar-rious.  

closer view.

The guy on the right is supposed to be smoking a pipe.

Anyway, these are Scattergunners.
What's a Scattergun?  Exactly as it sounds.

And the Leadership of the patrol.
Guy with sword and guy pointing finger.
Standard really.

And that rounds out the latest painted Quar.  Into the storage box they go...

All Quar painted to date.
The box is getting kinda full.

But then take them out of the storage box because it was gaming time!

Some Quar Gaming

Last Saturday, ...which turns out would be a great day to avoid the watching the news, avoiding military parades, and protests of all kinds... I had some folks over to play my new favorite game. 

Game in progress! 

Once again I annexed my children's playroom for my own uses.  I told them it was my turn to play my games with my friends and if they didn't like it then tough!  It was Father's Day Weekend and today would be for me, while tomorrow would also be for me. 

The game would be a 3x3 using my stunning (if I doi say so myself) trench terrain table, because with some many players it seemed to be a crime to not use it.   

Ain't she a pretty table?

Overall Wearin' Dude and a buddy watch on...

We did a meeting engagement where both sides were attempting to reclaim the giant trench.  You won the scenario by getting your dudes over to the opposite side.

I was busy playing and teaching and hosting and eating pizza that no real AAR is possible, not that you would read it anyway.  So, enjoy some pretty pictures with minimal context:

My dudes (in the middle) getting over the trench and pushing into the enemy.

One player brought a little howitzer to the field.

It was maybe one of the best games of my whole life.  

Convincing

My fiend Mr PC came to game.  He's not big on the look of Quar.  They just look odd to him.  And he keeps calling them penguins when they are clearly anteaters.  (Actually, they do look like penguins, but I'll never admit it). 

But he's not a barbarian, and he can appreciate a nice-looking terrain and painted miniatures.  Plus, last time I played what he wanted so now it was MY TURN.  

But at the end he said that he liked the rules a lot, that the rules had a lot of tactical nuances, and with minimal effort could be used to play all manner of serious sci-fy games.  He then sent me this short video...

And it wasn't so Quarrelsome after all. 

Thanks for reading.
Double Thanks for writing a comment.
Till next time.
