For my birthday, the main thing that the kid wanted to do was play 40k with me. You would think that what I wanted would have primacy on a day that is supposed to be about me, but not the case.
We set up the game mat that I made a few years ago, and a couple of small armies. The kid took an Ultramarine scouting unit, which had a pseudo-dreadnaught, snipers, two squads of guys (one deepstriking) and a small squad of flying guys with autocannon. I can never remember new marine squad names. I played Eldar, and took one squad of guardians, two of wraithguard, a farseer, and a squad of rangers. The farseer was shamefully on an unpainted base AND was only about 80% painted, but somehow he did not get killed?

| marines being hacked to death by robots piloted by ghosts, and then shot by more robots piloted by ghosts. Eldar are cool. |
As usual, I forgot to take many pictures, and we ran out of time to finish before my parents came over for dinner, but it was a fun game, even if I did have to ask for clarification about the interaction of CP/Army/Detachment/unit rules with the opposing army CP/Army/Detachment/unit rules about 100 times.
It did get me painting more units, or rather finishing more units I started last year. So maybe that is a good thing?

The things we do for our children. It’s a rough time on occasion. lol
Hope you had a good birthday.
I don’t know any names in 40k of units. Just like napoleonics. 😀😀
Shouldn't you know the names of Napoleonic units because they are the same as AWI and ACW units? ;)
