An 8-Hour Age of Sigmar Grind, Side Tables, and Late-Night 40k
One of those proper club days
Some hobby days are neat and tidy. You play one game, pack up, go home.
And then there are days like this one.
This was very much the second kind: an 8-hour Age of Sigmar slugfest, side action on nearby tables, plenty of photos, and by the end of it the guys were already setting up 1000 points of Warhammer 40,000 because apparently enough toy soldiers is never enough.
The main event: Kharadron Overlords vs Slaves to Darkness
The headline game of the day was a 2000-point Age of Sigmar match between Kharadron Overlords and Slaves to Darkness.
According to Michał, the battle went the full 5 turns, took 8 hours, and ended 38:83. Even better, the last round reportedly lasted 4 minutes, which is exactly the kind of dramatic pacing shift we love in long games: all day to get there, then suddenly done.
The other important stat from the day? Michał somehow clocked 8900 steps despite only going outside briefly with the dog. Truly the hidden cost of a long AoS game is cardio.
Side table snapshots
While the big AoS game was grinding onward, Stas grabbed a bunch of afternoon photos from another table.
We got shots of Marek and pegie starting SH, then some photos labeled simply as “Plebs @pegie”, and finally the glorious aftermath of the last lizard being trampled under the hooves of MSC.
That last caption alone tells a whole story.
And then pegie responded in the only appropriate way:
Bruh
End3r’s gallery
To round things out, End3r dropped a proper gallery from the battle: 10 out of 12 photos first, then two more at the end. We love this kind of post-game photo dump, because even if you missed the table in person, you still get a feel for the battlefield, the armies, and that very specific late-game look of controlled chaos.
A few highlights from the gallery:
And the final two:
And then, of course, more Warhammer
Once the big AoS game wrapped up, the evening still wasn’t over. Michał reported that the boys were setting up a 1000-point Warhammer 40,000 game.
Which also meant Stas got hit with the classic feeling of seeing another game happen just out of reach:
So I’m going to miss it again. Damn.
Very relatable.
Final thoughts
We really like days like this. Not because everything is fast or efficient, but because they feel like a full hobby session in the best sense: one huge game, another table doing its own thing, people taking photos, reacting to disasters, and somehow still finding the energy to start another battle late in the evening.
That’s the good stuff.
If nothing else, this one gave us:
- an 8-hour, 5-turn Age of Sigmar battle,
- a decisive 38:83 finish,
- at least one last lizard crushed under hooves,
- 8900 steps of tabletop movement,
- and a fresh 1000-point 40k setup right after.
A completely normal day, by our standards.
