Okay so here's a few action pics and a quick story with some rules thrown in.
We didn't really start documenting until a little later in the game so maybe 'Randy McStab' or 'Mean Green Stompa' could chuck a few details/pics up and fill in the blanks.
"After the battle of Cadbury XI and the ensuing fallout in Sector IFF the stakes had been raised. Kurnal-Kommizzar BlakBludd chewed on a stump of cigar and surveyed the wasteland, "Where woz everything?".
He'd spent weeks on this desolate planet searching for something to loot or crump but until now hadn't seen as much as a Squighopper.
Reports from his bestest skouts had suggested that the place would be teeming with guardsmen and maybe even the odd crunchy space marine? He wondered if he was too late for the party?
To the right of his convoy the boyz seemed distracted, and the Lootaz were bouncing up and down hooting with excitement.
"Whazz'up?" he yelled.
The hooting grew louder, "Gribblies Sir, fawsends of 'em", came the reply."
MGS paid us a flying visit from across the pond so it was rude not to have him over for a game. It'd been a while.
We played 'The Scouring' with 'Vanguard Strike' deployment. Objectives were fairly evenly dispersed with possibly a few more towards my half of the table.
I played this....

Tune in later for more action.
The battle waggons drew up three abreast with the Mek and
Kff in the middle, Stampy slowy clanked into action and the lootaz took up firing positions in a ruin to the back of the field.
The nid line was drawn with the crone on my left flank, Tyrant on the right, hormagaunts, and exocrine as far forwards as they could get and the warriors and tyrannofex giving synapse/fire support from the rear. Sneaky stealers had infiltrated to my very left flank and the Zoanthropes were charging up their Zzzzaps.
