pics from a game against sallieman I had on sunday. He kicked my ass. I hate asurman.

Excellent stuff, all around.

Amazing thread. Keep em coming

Thanks for the kind words

game vs sallieman

Great photos! The terrain is excellent, and I really, really like the movie theater. That MARBO poster is probably the best thing I've seen all day! I'm also a big fan of the Orky missile bunches; assuming they're Lobbas or something similar?

This is a fantastic thread. Those are some of the best painted models and most interesting battlefields I've seen outside of a codex. Real first rate stuff.

Oh Emperor, why do I only see this thread now?

Amazing photos, some of them really do want to drag you inside the battle! Easily WD quality, at least most of them. Kudos to everyone involved for all those great paintjobs, and the cool terrain.

(on a sidenote, that Dread sooo looks like a Jenner 'mech - bonus points if that was an intentional reference )

I don't know about the dread, but the photos ae dam good. I'm glade to see that you are still willing to share your photos with us! Remember that we will always enjoy them, even if we don't post when we see them.

I Love these 2 shots. Very dramatic and immersing - the shot of the Vindicators particularly has great composition and lighting.

Out of focus forgrounds can be tricky. I think (generally) you want to avoid having out of focus objects too close to the centre or blocking your main subject.
This is a little hard on the eyes with 2 big nastily blurred weapons right where I want to be looking

This one is very nice. The out of focus areas are nicely balanced in the forground and background and artisticly frame the subject, drawing you into the scene. I like it

This should never have made the cut. I feel a little bit nausious

This is just the most awesome thing ever, lol. Is this a conversion or something you can buy?

Hadn't noticed these first time looking through, but I'm glad I took the time to go back through and find them - they're a very cool looking squad! Should almost be an elites choice

You should come up with a neat batch process to run your photos through in PS

So much epicness contained in one thread, those tyranids look fantastic! Well all the models look fantastic.

Those are some amazing-looking Ork models! Top stuff.

2 games vs sallieman's eldar.

I'm moving to Canada... apparently that's where all the painted armies are. Great, great, great pics.

doubles game, lutnit and dracheous vs sallieman and me

Game vs an00bis's tau. There's also a couple rando's at the end.

Big 40k game at tickron's.

That photo with the bikes is fething awesome.

Truely there can be no better way to post pics for a battle report.

I'm so going to try this.

Wow! you deliver us great images once more. I've got to say those gold fellas are really nicely done. I think the pics of them are my favourite.

Game vs celph_titled's nurgle marines

Damn that's awesome, as per usual. Keep up the awesomeness.

Was it as as the list is made out to be?

I counter-cheezed and used belial and his scoring termies, I never really saw how nasty it could be, killed epidemius really early in the battle. Still, he won 2 to 0, none of us held any of the 3 objectives but he had first blood and warlord.

I have a Canon 450d, but I read that the DSLR cameras are typically too large/heavy for the mini tripod. Would you say that its better suited for the P&S cameras? I have an older panasonic lumix something or another that takes pretty decent macro shots. I'd love to pick up that little tripod and start taking shots.

Very cool! Get more xenos in there now :-)

Point and shoots are generally better suited for this sort of photography. SLR's large sensors end up being their own worst enemy when it comes to macro work on mini's in the context of a game.

Apparently Canadians are the best at two things: playing hockey and painting 40K minis. Consider me subscribed!

Ah good idea. Fair enough in this case, Epidemus is pretty damn cheap.
