This Apocalypse battle was fought at 4500pts for each side (give or take a 100pts). My Guard army joined the Greater Good for this battle in order to make the points come out about even.

The Black Templar player had a small contingent of Necrons.

The fiercest part of the fighting occurred over one 'No-Man's Land' objective in a ruined building. Our time limit ended at turn 4, and It was a draw: 2 objectives each.

The battle report will be mostly pictures.

HOW DID IT END!!!!!

The Battle ended in a draw. Each side controlled 2 objectives in their own zone. The central objective was buried in the bodies of the dead warriors who had tried to claim it. Unfortunately, my camera batteries died. The carnage over the one objective was enormous. Thousands of points were lost on each side trying to claim that objective. It was truly apocalyptic.

It was getting late when our time limit expired, and one of the players couldn't continue. Also, a draw seemed like a good ending considering the sheer numbers of the losses on each side.

Nice pics!

yeah,
9000 points of painted models on the table FTW!
When I saw the setup shots my first reaction was It looked like it was going to be a little one sided, both imperial guard and tau being gun line armies, with a hugh area of open ground infront of them! I was expecting the blood bath! but the eldar SM guys seemed to cope with it!

nice batrep, lots of photos! (Photos for the Photo God!)

Panic...

Couldn't agree with Panic anymore very nice report and great armies. Some people could learn how to do a good battle report form this.

Thanks guys. We had a blast and are planning more apocalypse battles for the future. Our local Eldar player has dreams of Nightwing Interceptors in his head!!

1 quistion how did ya make the ruins look intresting at first i look like they painted but they look like grey card with green back cut and glue togther pm me piz!

Wow, I love seeing good action shots like this.

It's kind of sad that it was two shooty armies against each other, though. Apocalypse craves massed charges, although the deployment picture of all that imperial armor in the corner was pure win.

Your destroyed tank smoke is awesome!

Great Battle Report. Good read!

very nice report!
thanks for the good pics!
