Thank you kind sir

Practice game for golden skull 3. My deathwatch count as raptors vs an00bis's tau. 1500pts, forgeworld was in. One cad, because we don't play apoc, we play 40k.

Awesome event, lots of nice looking armies. Chimera put on a hell of a tournament. 1500pts is a great point level to play at.

2000pts 30k game vs clarence's raven guard. Got to try out the xiphon for the first time, it did not disappoint

Spoiler:

**Andilus Greatsword**

How did you make the Xiphon? Looks like a pair of Pod Racer engines glued onto... maybe a heavily-converted Stormraven chassis and wings?

**MrFlutterPie**

Looks like it might be based off an Avenger Strike Fighter

Deathwatch vs farsight enclaves and chaos. 4 1500pt lists. 2 deathwatch lists (an00bis couldn't make it) both using white scars traits vs lutnit's farsight enclaves and skimask mohawk's chaos nightlords. 1 cad/foc each. We all chose our warlord traits and mutually agreed not to take master of ambush lol

We tried out a few forgeworld units. I had my xiphon in one list and two deimos pattern vindicator tank destroyers in the other, clarence was running a hellblade and a contemptor dreadnought and lutnit ran a y'vahra battlesuit.

As always fantastic pics! I really did the night lords force in this set, I think they enjoyed hogging the spotlight in many of the pics too, that dreadnaught carrying the corpse is very photogenic

Skimask mohawk will be happy to hear that, he's been pluggin away at his nightlords with a good pace.

A huge variety of very nicely done minis there! Nice pics as always. Not to belabor the point but the lighting actually works very well with the still images so no complaints from this grouch.

An00bis vs Deadlights, 1850pts. This was a practice game for the upcoming powerfists and psykers tournament at fdb on the 28th. Batrep is in the oven and should be up shortly.

Yeah deadlight's paint scheme is really sick.

Khaine's eldar vs clarence's raven guard, 1850pts tournament practice for powerfists and psykers. Batrep's in the oven.

Spoiler:

**Crablezworth**

Tried planetstrike out, 2500pts with the attack/defender foc's. It was interesting, also an00bis got his barracuda up and running. That damn thing's got a 2+ jink

Shot this on the 5D mk2 to give ya'll an idea of the downside of big sensors for miniature photography, it's difficult to keep much in focus; On the upside the dynamic range is pretty sexy.

**Crablezworth**

2000pts vs An00bis's tau. I used white scars traits. Batrep is in the oven

Your work is the best tribute to the Deathwatch I've ever seen.

**SkaerKrow**

Thank you sir. This thread has reminded me why I love this game.

1650pts test game vs an00bis, we tried out the 4th mission from the tournament format we're working on. 3 objectives with normal secondaries, troops lose os but elite slots gain os and everyone can assault out of reserve and outflank (just not deep strike). An00bis's new assassin is terrifying, he stalked tigerius and blew his brains out, mine managed to off a riptide before jason's assassin put mine in the ground (omg I think we just forged a narrative :lol: ) We both rocked some fw stuff, I had a deimos vindicator tank destroyer and jason had a unit of tetras and a barracuda. Batrep's in the oven

Andilus greatsword dropped by with his wolves. We were supposed to play a 2v2 against tau and chaos but sadly skimask had to drop so an00bis just made a second tau list. 3000pts a side. We've been playing with a house rule called "fear the flanks" and it basically allows units coming in from reserve or outflank to assault provided they didn't disembark from a non assault vehicle transport. It's honestly made the game so much better, the 5th ed nostalgia is strong.

On a technical note, been shooting a bit wider and at time faster than the usual f/4. The lens seems to be even sharper at f/2.

Spoiler:

**Crablezworth**

Lutnit's farsight enclaves and an00bis's tau empire vs my deathwatch (ultramarines traits). I had two 1500pt lists and lutnit and an00bis each had a 1500pt list. Each side also had one count as culexus assassin just for the hell of it. Batrep's in the oven.

Spoiler:

**Crablezworth**

Faced off against khaine's eldar. 2000pts per side, 1 foc/cad. I gave loth a try, he was interesting for sure. Batrep's in the oven.

Spoiler:

**Crablezworth**

Tau vs Marines, batrep's in the oven.

I need to get up to you guys again sometime soon for a game... maybe using something other than Space Wolves.

Hell ya man, what you to this weekend? Nids for the win?

Registered just to comment as I love the topic and experience of taking beautiful photos to chronicle my games.

I find that its not really the camera that matters as much as it is what's a good shot, and what's not. Settings play a larger role than camera does as well.

These were shot using my smart phone, and people always wonder what camera I used. A smartphone is all, just got to set up your shot properly and choose your distance, angle wisely.
