Come by Matchplay with your Fantasy army and match your generalship with other players from around the Bay.

The standard is 2000 points, but people will pretty much accomodate whatever you have.

Kevin is also working on Briternia 3. Make sure you get in touch with him and let him know what you'd like to add to the campaign. There's a set of revised rules floating around. Take a look. It's due to start in the spring of 2005.

League Playoffs

Due to the Christmas holiday, the League Playoffs will be postponed for another week. Ray will let everyone know when the playoffs will actually start. Good luck to everyone who made it this far.

Last week a bunch of us got together for a big game. There were over 6,000 points of Imperial forces versus 12 Chaos Kill Teams.

Amazingly enough the game made it to turn 8, where the battle had it's triumphant climax. Take a look at the gallery section to find out more.


Hope everyone had a marvelous 2004 and here's to an even better 2005.

Happy Holidays to all.

Annual Big Game

You've waited all year for this. And we're not talking about jolly Saint Nick. It's the Fighting Hellfish's annual game of living large.

It's been 4 years. Or maybe 5. Or is it 6? Who's counting, anyways. But it's certainly a Hellfish tradition. And this year won't disappoint. There will be a big ass table. There will be plenty of models. And there will be big portions of smackdown.

It's this Thursday, December 16th. And it's so momentous, that Ray's 40k league will be on hold until the following week.

Once again, the City of Konevgrad, will be the battlegrounds for this monstrosity. Will the madness ever end? Will Chaos forces overrun the streets? Or will Imperial forces stand victorious?

The rules are being concocted as we speak. So hold tight. Look for more specifics to be posted on the Hellfish Boards, in the next couple days.

This much we know:
1) Imperial and Chaos forces only
2) All models must be painted
3) Chaos players should bring multiple lists, preferably in 500 point increments. (but if you only have 800 points painted, then bring 'em all)

And if you haven't done so already, sign up here.

Please arrive promptly at 6:30 for sign-ups. If you will be late, please let us know on the Hellfish Boards.

The Curse of the Hidden Dead struck again and struck hard.

The Warhammer Fantasy League came to an abrupt, aggrieved and anticlimactical conclusion this past week as proud Elven warriors turned into craven fowl. Our own Catfish showed his true poultry colors and chose to forfeit rather than rise to his monarchial duties—leaving the isle of Briternia in an irreconcilable state.

Big props to the league architect and administrator, Kevin, and his cartographer, David H. for their efforts the past 12 weeks. Look for the final results of the Briternia Campaign soon.

Of course, the end of the campaign means it’s time to put open gaming into overdrive. Bring out your new army and challenge a former Briternian Lord to combat. And, if you’re going to the LA Grand Tournament at the end of September, this is a great opportunity to fine tune your army.

It’s July, it’s hot, no hot dogs, but it is time for the Little Leaguers to come out anyway.

Everyone can and should get involved here as this just might prove to be the most fun, low-key, “Beer & Pretzels” attitude 40k ever!

Last Thursday was the first “practice run” and it was a huge success. Bring a 500-point Army and show up this Thursday for the first night. (See League Section for army limits and guidelines)

Newbies are rewarded and handicaps given along the way, so feel free to play just about any army you desire- even those that aren’t considered “hard”. Bonus given to fluffy, characterful, or wacky ideas.

The Curse of the Hidden Dead is about two-thirds complete... will any fledgling empire find the secret to unravel the mystery, lift the curse and dominate the Island?

Only time will tell, but there are only a handful of turns left! This last week there were drastic happenings! Check out all the excitement and watch the rise and fall of these empires in the League Section.

If you’re not in the campaign, you can still get in on the action by bringing a 500-point army and play the role of a raiding army or denizen force.

Open Gaming is also starting again this Tuesday. Bring your army and pick up a game of Warhammer Fantasty Battle this Tuesday night. If you can, bring a 2000 point army, but players will accommodate pretty much any point value.

Little League is all about the fun, low stress, strange armies, questionable sanity, and seeing if Patrick will lay something that isn’t cheesy! (yeah right, anyone check out the Butcher's army? -ed)

This past Thursday was the trial run of some Little Leaguer lists. We saw Harliquins, Humans that thought they were Orks, Orks that thought they were Humans, More fragile Eldar, and many unique conversions.

The set-up is still in flux, so come by with a weird 500 pt list, and put your input into what you want to see in this league!

Briternia is being fought over...er, maybe that's not the best choice of words. Many generals have taken to sight seeing and real estate purchasing as they set up towns and hamlets all over the lush Briternia country side. Only the High Elves and Empire nations have met in bloodshed over escrow prices and territorial boundaries. Is Briternia an isle reminescent of a Fox reality show or is it an isle of unbridled bloodlust?

There are too many big fish in the pond. Minus tossing in Jaws and Shamu and letting them feed off of these weaker fish, Matchplay will host a feeding frenzy which will allow the biggest fish to emerge victorious.

The participants are Eldar (Mike), Tau (Jeff ), Dark Eldar (Sean) and Imperial Guard (Alexei). Who will engulf the smaller fry and emerge with accolades of praise and unlimited power bait? Who will be eaten alive and tossed to the seagulls? Come see who will be immortalized on the Hellfish wall of fame.

This past weekend, the Hellfish were in full effect at Games Workshop’s Games Day Los Angeles 2004. After many months of blood, sweat and tears, the event Plasmaball Run 2: Dusty Dunes Derby was finally ready to roll for its SoCal world debut.

Like a spectacular car accident (and there are plenty in Plasmaball Run), the table enthralled both curious and twisted alike. The event was a huge success with passerbys and players full of praise and enthusiasm for the 40k desert race.

Much thanks to all for their willingness to do whatever it took to help out and sacrifice many, many grueling weekday nights and entire weekends. Everything turned out way-beyond great. Look for PB2 to continue to roar through the convention circuit at Kublacon on 28-30 May.

Three Hellfish members also played in the Games Day Rogue Trader Tournament with Donovan and Tommy both going undefeated. Also, congratulations to Dan R. for winning a Daemon award for his Lord of the Rings Cave Troll.

This coming Thursday 29 April, there will be a renegade game of Munchkins. No miniatures to paint. No terrain to set up. Just plenty of beatdown. Alternatively to throwing down cards, you can bring 1850 points for 40k action.

Next Thursday 6 May, the Big Fish Playoffs will commence. An announcement will be made in a couple days with all the specifics. If your army doesn’t make it into the playoffs, then bring 1850 points of metal and plastic for open gaming.

Of course, it makes absolutely no sense to cap off the Big Fish League with a BFG, if the league isn’t finished yet. So the Big Fish BFG Konevgrad, will happen on the Thursday after the Playoffs. Stay tuned.

Thank your lucky charms, the Warhammer Fantasy Campaign is almost ready to make its world debut. Space is going to be extremely limited in this campaign, so make sure you reserve a spot with Kevin.

Also Rob N. and Russ return from the Seattle GT this week. Hopefully, they'll fill us in on all the mayhem and mischief in the Emerald City.

The 40k league, Big Fish Challenge, is half way over. Like Seabiscuit versus Man-of-War, Donovan has sprung out to take the lead. All is not lost, however, with players getting hundreds and hundreds of bonus points, the Big Fish is still up for grabs.

There also is some murmuring for another big game--Battle for Konevgrad 2004. It'll be icing on the Big Fish league cake. Plan for it on on April 8th--the Thursday after the league ends. Visit the boards and add your opinion on how you want the BFG to be.

The Fighting Hellfish will also be hosting the 2nd Annual 40k Rogue Trader Tournament this summer. This year's RTT will closely mirror the 2004 US Grand Tournament, everything EXCEPT the $100 price tag. The expected date for the RTT is the weekend of July 10th, so mark your calendars.

We're certainly expecting to see the new SOBs at the next RTT. Some members of the Fighting Hellfish have already taken a sneak peak at the new Witch Hunter Codex. The new Codex is quite competitve. Great rules and miniatures that'll make Janet Jackson blush, what else could you ask for?

There hasn't been a pic of the week in quite some time. The pic of the week collection has been picked dry, so if you have anything, send it here.

And how 'bout Lord of the Rings. 11 Oscars, baby! A full sweep. And that's without Leonardo DiCrapio yelling "I'm King of the World."

To everyone's surprise, the "Box Set" duo are still undefeated. That's right, "Box Set", as in the two armies--and arguably, least competitive codexes--that come in the Warhammer 40,000 starter set, Codex Marines and Dark Eldar.

Obviously someone's got to remedy this situation soon, especially considering the Dark Eldar are an endangered species. Want to think outside the box? There's plenty of league left. Sign up this Thursday.

The 40k league, Big Fish Challenge, just finished its second week with a scant 4 players who are undefeated.

Like a car accident on the side of the road, our eyes couldn't be averted. Our very dis-owned Jeff K. (don't try this at home kids) polished off an 8x8 burger at In-n-out Burger that's 8 pieces of meat and 8 pieces of cheese. If you don't believe us, check out the pictures in the gallery section.

As for events, that was just for appetizers. On Thursday, the new 40k league started up to a full house. The battles were fast and furious with familiar faces and newcomers alike duking it out to become "Big Fish." The results are posted in the League section.

This week, we'll see if the winners can beat challengers who get to carry an extra 150 points in their armies. Glad everyone could make it, and if you missed out, it's not too late to sign up this Thursday. Think about how nice it would be to take on that special someone with a juicy extra 600 points of goodness. Nice. Real Nice.

Afterwards, Kevin and David H. discussed the new Fantasy league. Over the last couple of days, Kevin has put together a hearty set of rules for the new league, tentatively dubbed Briternia Redux. So far, the input has been positive, but he's looking for any advice on making the Fantasy league better and plugging any potential holes. Take a look in the league section.

Happy 2004 Everyone!
Welcome to another year of Fighting Hellfish filled festivities.

If you're hankering for some Warhammer 40k, then hanker no more. Starting next Thursday 15 January, we will be kicking off the Big Fish Challenge 2004. Ray has put together a great league to keep your Thursday nights bristling with fun and your days in between brooding over how you’ll tackle next week’s battle and wondering why Thursdays can’t come any sooner.

The 40k league will be starting at a low 1,500 points, so it’s the perfect forum to test out the new army you got for Christmas or a variation on your tried and true army. The league is designed to be fun and challenging for both veteran and newbie, young and old, Imperial and Chaos, Eldar and Tau, Ork and Necron. Dark Eldar and ‘Nid, Hrud and Demiurg. The details are in the League section.

As for Warhammer Fantasy, open gaming continues as the Fighting Hellfish are now ready throw off their training wheels and increase the point value for open gaming to 2,000 points. Fret not, though, if you fear the 2K, because many players will be carrying multiple lists to play smaller and larger battles.

The Warhammer Fantasy Elven rankings are as follows:

(as of 5 jan)
Top Elf: Andrew
High Elf: David H.
Middle Elf: TBD
Low Elf: TBD
Sewer Elf: TBD
Oceanic Crust Elf: TBD
Lithosphere Elf: TBD
Asthenosphere Elf: TBD
Mesophere Elf: Jeff K

Congratulations to all who made the list.

The next couple of Tuesdays and Thursday, we will be discussing the plans for the Fighting Hellfish at this year's Games Workshop Games Day Los Angeles, which is on Saturday 24 April. If you want to participate and if you have any ideas on how to put the “2!” in Plasmaball Run II, make sure you stop by Matchplay on one of those nights or e-mail Pat.
