Who Are Six Up Save?

By
We are a small group of table-top game enthusiasts  from across the West Midlands, The Six Up Save boys get together once a week or so to drink beer, talk smack and wage war. We mostly play Warhammer 40k, but we will also be covering games like X-Wing, Dead Man's Hand, Super Dungeon Explore, Sigmar, and Batman Knight Minis.

This blog will (hopefully) follow our exploits across inter-group leagues, local and national tournaments, as well as taking a focused look at our armies, list building guides, painting tips and neat conversion ideas.

We have a diverse bunch of members, some who have been playing for years and some who have very recently started. Some of us are more into the modelling side of the hobby, where others prefer to focus more on the gaming side of things. 

Although some of us do enjoy the tournament scene, most of our games are casual, fluffy or narrative led games. It is my hope to post bat reps with pictures or links to our YouTube channel so you can enjoy the stories we create on the tabletop.

Let's take a closer look at our current member roster and their chosen armies:


Bruce

 Bruce has been playing 40k consistently for about 6 years now and has a sizeable collection of Blood Angels, Tyranids and Necrons.
A relatively recent convert to Age of Sigmar, Bruce also plays Dead Man's Hand, Marvel Universe, Test of Honour, Blood Bowl... the list goes on.
Bruce prefers to play narrative games but he's caught in an Enternal conflict: He hates playing with unpainted models, but he's too lazy to actually paint anything.

 Outside of the games store Bruce enjoys photography and is one nuclear accident away from becoming a supervillain.























Sam

Sam has been playing 40k for about a two years began by collecting Chaos Daemons, after dabbling in units from each chaos god he has settled on a Nurgle Daemon army. As a result of this he has over 6000 of Nurgle Daemons and they are his favourite army. They are led to war by Dave (Skabba the bloated). Sam also collects 30k pre-heresy Iron Warriors which are can be used as 40k chaos undivided. His current project is a Death Korps of Krieg Seige regiment. 
Games with Sam usually last longer than usual due to talking and sometimes drinking.
Sam runs the late night gaming at Worcester Wargames every Wednesday so if you fancy a game of 40k, Mallifaux, Batman or Dead mans hand drop him a message or speak to him in store.

Matt

Matt's been war gaming for over 8 years now over many different gaming systems from Dead Mans Hand, Malifaux, Lord of the Rings and of course the big one... 40K!
He's currently under way with a very large 30k/40k Iron Hands army as my primary army for tournaments and Apocalypse games.







Martin

Martin started collecting an Eldar army when he was much younger, playing against his brother who collected an Ork army. He stopped playing for about 15 years before picking it back up again about 3 years ago when his son showed an interest in collecting Space Marines. He now has a little over 8000 points worth of Eldar and has begun a Dark Eldar army. Martin also plays Star Wars X-Wing, Armada, Magic of the Gathering and Warhammer Invasion

  Paul

Paul plays Necromunda, Gorkakmorka, Blood Bowl and Dead Man's Hand as well as 40k and might dabble in the Batman miniatures game at some point later on.
He's been wargaming since he was 9 but had a 5 year gap at the end of his teenage years due to ladyfolk taking up all his precious time.
He's not as handsome as Bruce but is 72% more gnarly on a skateboard, so he's got that going for him, which is nice.

Jamie#1

Jamie#1 has been tabletop gaming for the last 10 years with a gap in the middle. He mainly plays 40k but occasionally dabbles with X-Wing, Armada and Dead Man's Hand. He has recently invested in some Batman Knight Minis, but hasn't had a game yet.
Currently, Jamie is working on a Space Wolf army that totals at over 5000 points and a smaller Snake Bite Ork army that is just over 3000 points.

Charles - (The Beast)

No longer the amateur of the group, Beast has now moved his main army from Nids to Tau. He especially loves Commander Farsight and the Enclave so he will be running a new campaign starting in July. He continues to expand his Tyranid army, with the new Genestealer Cult and plans to do a Psychic Heavy army soon. Recently he has ventured any from 40K into the realms of 30K with a Solar Auxilia army and Marvel Universe Miniatures Game with a full crew of Avengers.

Damien

We are lucky to have a celebrity in our little gaming group, many of you will have read the best selling novel, "How to Make Love the Damien Johnson Way". Damien has been wargaming for a long while and has more Orks at his disposal than Saruman the White.    He's recently started work on a Khorne Daemonkin army.
Jamie#2



 Jamie#2 has been gaming for nearly 25 years (yes he is that old), starting with 40k and fantasy during his youth a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away.  More recently he has taken up Batman, Warmachine, Freebooters and many more. 
When not dressing as a dinosaur, Jamie#2 can be found avoiding his wife at Worcester Wargames.  This may be due to his wife being substantially better at his beloved wargames than he, despite not knowing a jot about them.
Currently, Jamie#2 is working on a large Heresy World Eater army, led by the Angry Ron.


Jack
Jack has been wargaming for almost a decade now, gathering the gigantic Waaagh! that is his Ork force. When not watching cartoons, Lord of the Rings or listening to metal, he's always up for a game of anything. He enjoys painting (as much as you can when you have a hordes of boyz) and modelling the big green fighting machines. Now studying at Loughborough University for an Industrial Design and Technology degree, he comes to game whenever possible and is beginning to diversify his gaming repertoire with Dead Mans Hand, Bolt Action and Marvel Heroes.

Thanks for visiting. Please feel free to comment, leave us feedback and share your own pics, vids or stories in the comments section below. :)

 Chris

I am Chris. I've been collect 40K for about 4 years now after taking an 8 year break from the hobby. But I am now fully devoted to Khorne and my Chaos collection is up to somewhere around 8,000 points and growing! I also use Khorne Daemonkin for Age of Sigmar and I have a few Imperial ships for X Wing. I can hold my own against most people in games of cider or tequila. Especially tequila.

Confessions of a Warhammer Wife

By
Confessions of a Warhammer Wife Bruce’s obsession with Warhammer was only revealed to me during our second year of dating. We had been together a long time by then – had even lived together for the majority of that time while at University. And still I didn’t know about this one aspect of Bruce’s nerd-dom. When Bruce and I first began dating I was fully aware of – even besotted by - his nerdy credentials. Together we had played hours of Halo 3 and Mario Kart, swapped manga and even visited the cinema for a solo late night screening of Star Trek. Yet this did not prepare me for what would become one of his main loves in life. It all started back in 2012. We had been living separately back at our parents’ homes after University – me in Yorkshire, he in Worcester. I would often travel down to visit him and on one such occasion I was told of a new friend Bruce had made through work. Damien. They had apparently bonded when Bruce had taken on old model – a Tyranid Warrior I beli

August Apocalypse

By
Hi All, Its Martin. Our very own Sam, with the help of Matt and Andy from Worcester Wargames put together an Apocalypse game that saw the mighty Imperial armies battling against every Xeno army going (I played my Eldar on the Xeno's team). To allow this to happen, all Xeno's were made allies of convenience to prevent us turning on each other! From Six Up save other than myself, we had Jamie 1 and 2, Bruce, Sam, Dae, and Matt playing in the event. The tournament was a 1 day main event with a sub mission played the night before. Each team had a 'Warlord', Dae for the Xeno's and SUS's newest member Jamie2 for the Imperium. It was their task to coordinate their respective teams towards their targets and agendas. I would say both did an awesome job at keeping their teams in order and directing troops to where they were needed. Each player had 2000 points to spend on their chosen armies but they could only have 1 LOW / Gargantuan per list and within t

Black Maru's Order of Redemption.

By
Hey guys, Bruce here with the first of (what I hope to be) many short snippets of background, history and goofy fluff pieces for my Blood Angel successor Chapter, "The Redeemers" aka "Black Maru's Order of Redemption". I'll start off by highlighting some of the key characters, mostly HQ's that play a big part both on the tabletop and in the ongoing story linking my games / campaigns together.  The Redeemers are a successor Chapter of the Blood Angels, although they are a chapter in a very loose sense. Due to the way Black Maru (who we will discuss in further detail shortly) chooses to organize the Marines under his commend, The Redeemers are only considered a chapter for the sake of record keeping at the Adaptus Administratum. Internally referred to as an Order rather than a Chapter, The Redeemers are almost unheard of, partly due to the secrecy of their mission, but primarily because they have never done anything especially noteworthy or noble.  The
