*disclaimer*
This is the first time I made gif's and I hope I am not breaking all your computers
They should load on just about all web browsers, though may take a minute...
I had to use LocalHost to host my gifs since Imgur caps gif's at 2MBs. Hope it is an acceptable image mirror.

I think this is my third battle report I have posted here and I have always tried to one-up myself in terms of quality in order to make better reports. I made a big jump here but I already have ideas on how to improve it further. Next time

The game took forever since I was snapping pics and moving the tripod constantly. Though the actual game was short (thx to the mission) since the action only started at turn 3-5.

I did not have time to utilize my Nobz, 3rd trukk squad or my 20 shoota boyz. Ending at turn 5 hurt but that is the game.

I like making battle reports. I look back on old ones and they are just kickass to have. Obviously I try to be thorough and have wide shots of the table and respect the 180 degree rule to make the viewing easier for others.

I got better at making gif's after these 25, sorry if I changed my style toward the end. I spent WAY too much time making these, so if I got better techniques later on I was not about to go back and update the ones I already did, sorry. Maybe next time I will be more consistent.

Hope you liked them and I didn't break your internet!

Intresting battle report its pretty original. One suggestion though also post the army list. Also were those speeder ork buggies because if they were they are awesome.

**ZephyrRey**

Dear god this was amazing. I would have liked to see lists, but as it was the gifs were great. Knew everything that was going on (save for the mission, but i kinda skipped over that, intrigued by a gif report)
I particularly enjoyed the shooting effects, and loved the way you did damage

Very nice job, time well spent, i'd say.

**rabidaskal**

Haha I loved this report. Especially like how the ork shooting showed the shots spiralling away to hit nothing. And the KFF animation, I like that too

**sn0zcumb3r**

really nice report! great effort
It makes it alot easier to follow the game this way but it must take you ages in game and after right?

**WhiteOutMouse**

Thanks for all the comments.

Yes it did take ages... Yes, those are Rokkit buggies and thanks for the complement!

I also edited the post with the army lists. I can't believe I forgot to include those

. Thanks for pointing that out.

Glad you all enjoyed it, makes all the work worth it.

**Murrdox**

You put a LOT of effort and creativity into this Battle Report. Fantastic job. I like how I could tell that your shooting was crappy the entire game just by watching the graphics. The only part of your MS Paint art that I got confused by was the vehicle hits.

Love your Ork models too. I've got 3 buggies on my workbench to work on.

**Zefig**

That was a pretty awesome report. The action was nice and clear, but the shooting animation and commentary really made it. It took me a minute to get the KFF animation though. Still, nice report overall and I definitely look forward to more

**samuele999**

Just want to congratulate you on all the hard work that must have taken, it is one of the most original and entertaining battle reports i have seen and it was very nice to be able to fully see the battle, as though i was there myself! Again, thanks for an amazing report!

**Big Mek Matta Spanna Heed**

Fantastic! Best one i have seen! Loved the gifs, especially the deep striking and shooting! (Hilarious) And the rocket buggies are so good, i'm going to attempt to make some very soon! So thanks for a mint battle report and a lot of inspiration!

**Riddick40k**

I love the Land Speeder buggies!!!!

**Adam LongWalker**

25% coverage! thank you.

And then the gifs! again, thank you.

**MasterSlowPoke**

I'm the Lamenters player here. Good game but taking all these photos took forever...

Don't know why he didn't post better photos of them here, but this is an image gallery that has all his buggies:

Great stuff. All around. The time was worth it and I'm sure you'll find your gif work will get easier over time.

More!

**Rayvon**

Awsome report man, i really like this format.

**yamgrenade**

Nice creative report, Love all your looted vehicles

**H3ydon**

I'd love to make a gif report now hahaha not to mention some buggies hahaha. loved the animation, cant wait to see you animate the deffrollas ahahahah. great job

**MrEconomics**

This is a great way to do a battle report. Thanks for the hard work.

**Killbot3.0**

A really entertaining -and unique- report!

PS I heart the devilfish truck!

**Xyon**

I love this battle report. I have one suggestion, might make it easier to play the game, have someone record the whole game on video, will take less time than taking pictures. Then you can edit the video and basically take screenshots of the video that will be the images used for the gif.

**chaoslooksgood**

Awesome! Great battle report

All those ork vehicle conversions made me want to raid my bitz box

**Deathsadvocate**

wow that was honestly the funnest battle report i have ever read. That must have taken a lot of work to set it up that way but it is worth it. Congrats and WAAAAAAAGGGGGHHHHH!!!

**Baalirock**

This was a great battle report! The most fun I've had reading a 40k battle in quite some time. I empathize with your game taking forever, but it was well worth it for these results. Well done!

**Jone96**

Really good idea to animate battle report! I like that ork players conversions from speeders and devilfish.
