Aloha, long time lurker here and I wanted to share one of our Apocalypse games. My buddy is playing Tyranids and I am playing Witchunters. This post is pic heavy (25 pics) and I will keep the descriptions short.


Tyranids steal Initative and and open up on my girls


My girls (and boys) hunker down


Superheavies take a bunch of hits and survive unscathed


Hierophant hangs back and covers other troops. 3 Zoanthropes and a Tyrant go down to superheavy fire.


Gaunts move to take objective.


Tyranids reveal Flank March


Penitants rage forward


Sisters clean up Flankers


Sisters protect their Vital Objective


Hierophant is still hanging back to avoid Penitants


Hierophant eats a Penitant after taking a few wounds


Penitants get distracted by closer targets


Malenthrop eats another Penitant


Hierophant finally advances


More stealers flank


Lictor attacks near Vital Objective


Hierophant is unstopable


Arco-flagelants finish off Tyrant


Vital Objective defended for now


Gaunts continue to lurk


Hierophant assults ruin, a foot from Vital Objective.


Sisters cleanse another objective


Inquisitor is fustrated by undying Hierophant


Hierophant wipes out sisters in ruin and moves on to Vital Objective


Game ends before Hierophant can reach it. Witchunters win by one point.

Awesome! Thanks for posting this!

First off, beautiful armies. Those tanks are amazing, and I love the brighter Behemoth scheme on your friends' Nids.

Second, Arco Flagellants??? Haha! I love that you made full use of the crazy units in the WH Codex for this game, and still won!

Grats on the win!

Thanks!

My friend painted the tanks, check out senjistudios.com for some of his other killer paintjobs

I hope to post more pic heavy reports in the near future.

All the armies are mine actually; see the sig below

Amazing, I never thought I'd see a painted apocalypse-sized tyranid army - and beautifully painted, to boot! This was a great read after battle report after battle report consisting of barely primed or just-assembled models.

Very cool report and great looking armies. It was very easy to follow.

Question: What do you think of the 'Flank March' ability out of Apocolypse? To me it seems a bit too over the top.

Thanks for the report. It's always nice to see two well painted armies and terrain.

Well Flank Marching against Sisters can be very risky especially if Sisters go second because they excel at fire-fights. So the way it worked in this battle was he poped up behind me turn 2 and then I toast his Flankers with my reserves. Same thing for turn three. The key is to have some counter attack measure waiting in your deployment zone and in your reserves if you are going against an assault based army

By the way, All my armies are Apocalypse ready (air defense, warmachines and at the very least 3000 points) and fully painted. My secret? Audio books and no online games

More Battles to follow, thanks for the encouragement everyone.

Can Gaunts hold Objectives while outside of Psynapse in apocolypse? It the codex it says they can't.

Nice report, simple and visually stimulating. I play nids and chaos, and I'm trying to have a fully painted Endless swarms. I can't wait until I'm done.

Sorry, not "lurk" per the rules. They just sat on the objective protected by a hive tyrant. All in all my buddy played the bugs rather defensivly

Nice write up. I have an Apoc game coming up and I'm trying to decide between plopping 3000 points of painted bugs or trying to get to 2,000 points of painted Tau

Wow, this is a very nice report. Loads of good, clear photos, and nicely painted models. Thanks so much for posting.

yeah,
very nice armies and a very nice table with great terrain.
I like the oxidise/rusted metal scheme of the ruins.

great report.

Panic...

Hey thanks Panic! Your battle reports have been an inspiration to me. I will try to do the overhead shot (would love to know how you do it) and I also want to include the full army spreads (one picture of all one army another picture of all the other army).

Mahalo!

YOu forgot to deep strike the apple! Harhar

Nice report

The armies are so well painted

Great table and terrain! Great armies, too, man, when I saw you tipped the Heirophant up on the building it made me all jittery! Beautiful report, well done!

Wow those are really nicely painted super heavies!


on a side note.... that guy in glasses is drooling at your nid's behind... perv!

Yeah I posted that picture because he had such a silly face on Thanks for all the props folks, this weekend I will do a series of three battles with 500 points each and I will post them early next week.

Excellent report
Nice to see all the models painted also.

great report, an interesting read

That is a really cool report. Awesome armies by the way.

Just out of curiosity , may i get his or your permission to play with that image?

Great report. Nothing like seeing an Apoc battle with fully painted armies. I can't believe you had the guts to prop up the heirophant like that on the ruin! I'd be afraid of breaking something...

Just out of curiosity , may i get his or your permission to play with that image?

Sure, just do not do anything nasty with it. My friend Sousou is a 6' 3'' Samoan by the way

Thanks again everyone

Wow. That's all I can say...

Other than the fact that the Heirophant looks badass!

wow, wow, wow. Beautiful armies, table, everything. Very cool, thanks for sharing!

A great report. Loved the pics.

Favorite tyranid paint scheme ever.

the malenthrope or something has an awesome colorscheme (the green) btw i love battle reports with picture's

Excelent report, short sweet to the point with amazing photos of even more amazingly painted models.

Awesome report!

Against Bio-Titans, Bolter-Stake Crossbows is your friend he is a psyker afterall
