Eldar versus Space Marines.


Some old Necromunda terrain came out.






I placed a more balanced deployment rather than a refused flank like our last battle.

Cheers,

CB

Happened to draw a DeathWatch vs DeathWatch match that I thought would be a good way to test out my new bolt rifles. I dropped all but of my two fortis kill teams against my opponents three razorbacks (with oldmarine vets) and 3 hellblaster teams in DS.



It was a massacre. His multiple frag cannons wiped out my intercessors, followed up with melee weapons against my characters and the three hellblaster squads nuked my hellblaster and stalker squads off the table. By the time my second turn started I had killed a razorback and 2 models but I only had 3 models left alive. I didn't even bother dropping my fortis squads but had to surrender right there.

Definitely have to figure out a defense for that list.

last night's 4k Apoc.

Salamanders w Metallica elements vs Dark Angels w a knight household.

Got to try out my valiant in a 1750pt game vs my brother.

Super System 4th Edition

The Union (Of Semi-professional Heroes) vs. the Black Hearts


You can read all about it here is you are so inclined:

One of my more recent battles, either I have been forgetting to take pictures or I haven't played that much recently:

A couple games of 40K 8th edition (Token activation)

3-Way Game at 1,250 points.


1,250 Game Eldar vs. Deathkorps.


1,500 Game Chaos Space Marines vs. Nids.

Big Battle DBA (three armies to a side of 12 units each).



An invasion from the sea in Ancient Greece. The invaders were Spartans, Thebans, and Asiatics, against a defending force of Athenians, Thessalians, and Phokians.

The defenders won when the Spartans, then the Thebans, broke and fled.

2000pts of Orks vs Raven guard and Dark Angels, the Relic, ends in a major Ork victory.



Backing up into our deployment zone dragging the reluctant relic with us.

A few pics from the last game. A collegue of mine wanted to try out his new Knights lance and I brought my Deathwatch - complete with two hellblaster Fortis kill teams and a new Inceptor kill team. It promised to be an interesting match as nearly all of my shooting was Str4 but I could rely on the same mission tactic for his entire army.

He fielded one of the new Castellean knights (with the dual reactors), a Valiant, Gulliman the Sue-per marine and I think the knight with all the guns was a castigator.



I've faced knights before but not with Deathwatch. The lack of lascannons was going to hurt, but I have two librarians that should be able to help out. I deployed very center-line, I figured getting as close as possible as soon as possible with the knights was the best tactic. (Should have read up on them - didn't realize they could fall back without penalty to shooting or charging :p)

He wound up charging my center but got too close to my Primaris librarian, who null zoned the valiant. All the shooting took it down in a handful of wounds left, but the return shooting started taking chunks of intercessors off the table. I dropped my inceptor and 2nd hellblaster kill team in place to nail the valiant, but the Inceptors whiffed every shot despite supercharging. In the end the inceptors managed to get another round of shooting off to severely wound the Castellean at the cost of an entire 10 man intercessor squad that was cooked alive by those 3d6 2 damage flamers the castellean has.



In the end, I killed the Castellean but the resulting double engine explosion wiped out all of my agressors and remaining intercessors on the that flank. I finally managed to hammer the valiant to death with my crozious, but that left my with 4 marines versus a still half-health castigator. We tried valiantly, but were wiped out in the end



It was an incredibly 'killy' game and I enjoyed the attrition. We actually went to about round 7 before we realized that we had both completely forgotten about the scenario and objectives. I feel pretty good about how I did, given that T8 is a matchup that been an almost auto-loss for my primaris in the past. I think I could have actually pulled out a victor if I had about 3 more CP so I might give the CP warlord trait a go.

On a side note, my Primaris Watch Captain has failed to actually wound anything for 3 games straight, even with the Bane Bolts of Erixya. Going to make him a little sign of shame if he keeps it up.

My GSC got pasted this past Saturday by my buddy's Death Guard. Here's part of the battle, a crater my guys were defending [poorly] against three of his terminators.

So, we had our annual 2500 points game last weekend.
Crons & Nids vs. Eldar & Tau.
We had an exciting game (loads of kills an both sides).

Those paper figures look fun!

I had my first game of Age of Sigmar thanks to a staffer teaching me to play!

Start


End


Obviously we weren't playing points!

First game of Red Book of the Elf King.



Played the introductory scenario. Three units of Companions per side instead of six, three Glamour spells each instead of seven, and a four turn game instead of seven turns.



Saylian Trollblood was defeated by Vachel Goldenhand and his Companions of the Throne of Towers.

I was working on a play-through for my Titanomachina game:



This photo was taken mid-game, as Rhea jumped away and pummelled two of Tethys' Small Buildings flat.

Blue (Tethys) beat Yellow (Rhea) 22-11!

Gaslands! I missed the old car wars days and tried this one out, lots of fun

I just wanted to say how much I love this thread!

Forgot to take pic of Eagle of Brittany (the last game I played), so here's the last 40k game that was played (last Thursday)

Some really inspirational stuff in this thread (which I just discovered/binge-read). Thanks to all who have contributed!

Warriors of Chaos vs. Tomb Kings.

Silver Tower: Priest Edition!

Corpse Carts?

Had a fun game welcoming back a player who's been gone since 4th.

It was the first outing for my Sassy Daemon Prince. He dueled the Primaris general on the deciding objective winning the game standing atop his mangled body.

A game of Paleo Diet with Dakka's Barzam and BobtheInquisitor, from Ganesha Games.

It plays similar to Song of Blades and Heroes from Ganesha Games, but a bit more cooperative in how you hunt the animals. They don't get active turns but react to certain triggers players or other animals can cause.

(Stolen from Barzam's photos)

Barzam was the only player who actually managed to contribute anything worthwhile to the game. While I helped wound the Andrewsarchus, his diminutive dwarven huntress with the club managed to fend off a wolf that became attracted to all the action, killing it off with her pointy stick.

My caveman was pelting the beast with arrows to no avail, which caused it to end up charging my cousin's bear(his hunter was "in disguise") which I believe end up getting him killed. Eventually we drove the beast toward's Barzam's hunters who finally did it in.

BobtheInquisitor chased a pygmy hippo off an cliff and stared down a wolf with a hunter that looked vaguely like the Emperor of the Imperium.

A good time was had by all... except for in the bathroom, where a life size Primaris greats you with this chilling challenge-

Like poor Bubo, I was helping. I held down reactionary running dog while great bear of the people embodied historical dialectic in face of insatiable beast of the bourgeois!

And I really hope that meme takes off.

We played our first game of Pulp Alley today.
Really impressed with how well the rules hang together.
We only got one thing wrong (that we know of) and that's because we didn't look one page back.

We used a sci-fi setting with aliens, robots and mutants.
The mission was Lost Keys.

Pulp Alley is fantastic!

8th ed Warriors of Chaos vs Wood Elves. 3000pts + another 1000 from the monstrous arcanum. One I get Dan's WoC list I'll do a proper battle report.

Finally, Finnaly got a game in. Dropped my planned BAO list (don't ask) against another local player's Necrons. I hadn't faced a full necron list before and it was a fun clash as two attrition oriented armies ground into each other. I initially gave him a bloody nose but the 3+ invul save on the wraiths let them eat and entire flank after I killed their supporting destroyers. I feel like if I had deployed a librarian differently (for null zone) it could have been a very different game.

Clear bases, very cool.

But y'all needs some terrain...
