"40K with Bolt Action Rules" Topic

Hello,

I put up a quick narrative report of our last 40K game. We are experimenting with other rule sets, so we used Bolt Action. It worked well in the 40k universe; although, the poor dice rolling did not make for many wounds ;)

If you are interested in a quick read with a number of photos, please check it out here link I didn't put up any army lists or much in the way of stats…sorry.

Hope it is of some interest.

Here is a pic…

Cool stuff. You noted not writing down your stats for the DE and Marines but it would be interesting to see those if you can share 'em later on.

Yeah, I blew it by not keeping the written copy from the game. I can try to remember and post them ASAP.

Have you tried Gates Of Antares ? Its quite well done and provides a good game of sci fi using very similar mechanics to BA with a few differences. Its a free download.
If you enjoyed your Bolt Action version of 40K I reckon you would like GoA even more using the same figures.
We play it quite a bit using our old 40K armies and so far haven't encountered any issues , it more than just BA in space .

cheers Tom

Found a reference to this PDF on another forum, sounds like it's related to what you're doing:

Very cool and thanks!!

We will give the GoA rules a try. The one page rules are great, too. We have used those before.

Take care!
